Dick Van Dyke is ratcheting up the excitement for his big 98th birthday, which falls on December 13th, and is making a special appearance just in time for it.
The actor is being celebrated through a photo exhibit featuring the works of Laura Johansen titled Moments In Time, which opens on Sunday, November 19 at Malibu City Hall.
Van Dyke is slated to make an appearance at the opening alongside his wife of 11 years Arlene Silver, 52, a rare opportunity for the actor to be surrounded by his adoring fans.
Laura's work spans the past decade of Van Dyke's life, as his personal photographer, capturing him during several important milestones like his Kennedy Center Honors ceremony in 2021.
A video featuring several pieces from the collection was shared on the actor's official Instagram account, encouraging fans to come visit and be part of the experience.
Please join us for the opening reception as we celebrate Dick Van Dyke’s personal photographer @alauradesign! So many never before seen pictures and prints will be available for purchase," the caption read, also asking fans to come dressed in their favorite Dick Van Dyke inspired outfits.
Celebrities like Wayne Coyne and Cary Elwes shared a few heart emojis, while a fan penned: "I can’t wait to see all these special moments in time."
Another also wrote: "I just know it will be a big success," with a third adding: "Happy Birthday buddy, you bring so much joy to others!"
