My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business by Dick Van Dyke Book Summary

A heartfelt memoir from one of Hollywood's greatest icons

Dick Van Dyke, indisputably one of the greats of the golden age of television, is admired and beloved by audiences the world over for his beaming smile, his physical dexterity, his impeccable comic timing, his ridiculous stunts, and his unforgettable screen roles.
           
His trailblazing television program, The Dick Van Dyke Show (produced by Carl Reiner, who has written the foreword to this memoir), was one of the most popular sitcoms of the 1960s and introduced another major television star, Mary Tyler Moore. But Dick Van Dyke was also an enormously engaging movie star whose films, including Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, have been discovered by a new generation of fans and are as beloved today as they were when they first appeared.
           
A colorful, loving, richly detailed look at the decades of a multilayered life, My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business, will enthrall every generation of reader, from baby-boomers who recall when Rob Petrie became a household name, to all those still enchanted by Bert’s “Chim Chim Cher-ee.” This is a lively, heartwarming memoir of a performer who still thinks of himself as a “simple song-and-dance man,” but who is, in every sense of the word, a classic entertainer.

A Class Act. I've never been so gripped by a book, especially an autobiography. It was an intriguing read from start to finish offering intriguing insight into the life of a man I'd grown up watching on television. A class act onscreen & the same offscreen as well. I admire the moral stand he made in his career & can enjoy his performances all the more with this behind-the-scenes look into the life of one of my favorite actors.

Good back about a classic character. Nicely done book about one of the most captivating personalities of family films and tv. The most fascinating part to me was the connection drawn between the world of actors we grew up knowing and loving and those from previous eras. He dealt with his marital infidelity in a very honest and straightforward way, although I guess I was hoping for a Disney type story of a lifetime together with his soulmate. Altogether, I went into the book with high expectations and was not disappointed.

Very lovable Hollywood star has a dark side. Enjoyed reading about DVD - he was like no other in Hollywood. Both in the 60’s as well as now

My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business. What a beautiful autobiography, written by a beautiful man! Thanks for sharing your life with us, Mr. Van Dyck. You write as eloquently as you dance and entertain us. May you continue to entertain all generations for many more years. My second review. Don't ask me to do it again, BookBub.

Class Act!. When I first started reading this book I realized it wasn't going to be a biography based on "Hollywood dirt" and for that I thank Dick Van Dyck. The stories he tells about his life make you feel like you are reading about a good friend who has morals, is caring, loving, and so very funny. A good guy who deserves our respect for his many years of making us laugh. Dick Van Dyck is truly a class act.

Nicely written, doesn't drag, a few surprises. A comfortable read that you can pick up any time and be comfortable.

My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business. Very easy and fun to read. Inspiring.

My life in and out of show business. I have never sent a note on any book I have read. This book was wonderful. Amazing man, amazing life, thanks for the memories Dick!!
