Approaching 90, Dick Van Dyke's Dancing Can Still Make Anyone Put On A Happy Face
By: Michael Dale
It was 45 years ago that Dick Van Dyke introduced the Charles Strouse/Lee Adams classic "Put On A Happy Face" in BYE, BYE, BIRDIE in an effort to get a sad stony-faced teenager to smile.
The 89-year-old national treasure no longer has to go through a big song-and-dance to make people smile these days. Well, maybe just a few dance steps. As posted on Vine by his wife, Arlene Van Dyke, it doesn't take a lot of coaxing to hubby's feet moving.
