Dick Van Dyke Celebrates 100th Birthday at Home

Legendary actor and comedian Dick Van Dyke marked his 100th birthday on December 13, 2025, with a joyous celebration at his Malibu, California, home, surrounded by family, friends, and performances honoring his storied career.

The intimate gathering, organized by his wife, Arlene Silver, featured a flash mob dancing to a medley of Van Dyke's iconic songs, produced by Chris Isaacson Presents. Silver described the event to People magazine as unfolding perfectly, noting her husband's delighted reaction. "And he was so happy. His face, I love to make him have that face," she said. "This felt so perfect." Pianist Jon Batiste added to the festivities with renditions of "Put On a Happy Face" from Bye Bye Birdie, "Chim Chim Cheree" from Mary Poppins, and "When the Saints Go Marching In," during which Van Dyke joined in singing.

A highlight came when Silver presented Van Dyke with his first MTV Video Music Award, a moon man trophy for Best Rock Video. The honor recognized his appearance in Coldplay's "All My Love" clip, which he co-produced and starred in for his 99th birthday the previous year. The award had been announced at the September 2025 VMAs, though Van Dyke did not attend....
