CBSN
Legendary actor Dick Van Dyke has been in the business for more than seven decades, and at 98 years old, he just made history – as the oldest actor to win an Emmy.
"Am I really the oldest?" Van Dyke said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight ahead of the Daytime Emmy Awards last week. He was shocked to find out he was the oldest person to earn a nomination from the long-running television awards show. "I'll be darned. I think I'm the last of my generation. I'm 98. I have – almost – all my marbles. I can't remember what I had for breakfast," he joked.
Van Dyke earned the nomination for his appearance on Peacock's "Days of Our Lives." His soap opera role was a departure from his usual comedic and musical roles in movies like "Mary Poppins" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
