Review

Praise for Dick Van Dyke's "My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business"
"In my opinion, 'Luck' has little to do with Dick Van Dyke's life. It is, rather, his innate kindness and talent that have had an extraordinary effect in shaping the man. And what a fascinating self-portrait he's given us in this book."
-- Mary Tyler Moore
"From the time I worked with Dick on the movie Bye Bye Birdie, I have admired his many talents, not the least of which is the joy and enthusiasm he shares with audiences. I'm a big fan of his... and his book."
-- Ann-Margret
"Van Dyke tells a wonderful story about himself and his times. And -- in an often surprisingly relevant manner -- our times. We've always liked the performer -- it's hard not to like Dick Van Dyke -- but this will make you admire him."
-- Playbill
