Dick Van Dyke: My Luck Life in and out of Show Business

One of my favorite performers is Dick Van Dyke.  I enjoyed reading about his life and how he got started in show business.  Before going into show business he considered being a minister, but he realized that he liked performing too much.  He worked in radio before television, and he had a comedy act with a friend before going on his own.  He gives background information on how The Dick Van Dyke show came to be.  He wrote about specific episodes which were fun to read about.  He has thought a few times about retiring, but he finds things that interest him and keeps on working.  One thing that I thought was impressive was that he said that his best work was done at home.  “My kids have turned out to be truly admirable people.”   I recommend this book for an enjoyable read.
