Dick Van Dyke - According to Van Dyke, he has โnever really able to work up a feeling of hateโ and attributes reaching 99 to his "brighter outlookโ. "Iโve always thought that anger is one thing that eats up a personโs insides โ and hate,โ he told US magazine People. โThere were things I didnโt like, people I donโt like and disapprove of. But I never really was able to do a white heat kind of hate." Van Dyke also credited much of his survival to his wife Arlene, who is aged 54. โWithout question, our ongoing romance is the most important reason I have not withered away into a hermetic grouch,โ Van Dyke wrote in a recent health diary for The Times. โArlene is half my age, and she makes me feel somewhere between two-thirds and three-quarters my age, which is still saying a lot.โ
