Today weโre get here today to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our Disney legends, the Disney royalty himself: Dick Van D**e! ๏ฟผ
When youโre with this Disney Legend, youโre in glad company! Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van D**e, the irrepressible comic, actor, and song-and-dance man born December 13, 1925. Celebrated for his unique comedic flair and boundless energy, this light-footed performer has been endearing himself to audiences for most of his long and rewarding life. Already a top Broadway and television star, he reached new chimney-top heights when Walt Disney cast him as Bert in โMary Poppinsโ (1964), wherein he sang the Oscarยฎ-winning โChim Chim Cher-ee.โ Dickโs other Disney performances include starring in โLt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N.โ (1966) and โNever A Dull Momentโ (1968), among numerous other appearances. And in 2018, Dick once again dazzled in โMary Poppins Returns,โ the sequel to his first Disney triumph, with his showstopping turn as Mr. Dawes, Jr.
