Reviews"In my opinion, 'Luck' has little to do with Dick Van Dyke's life. It is, rather, his innate kindness and talent that have had an extraordinary effect in shaping the man. And what a fascinating self-portrait he's given us in this book." -Mary Tyler Moore "From the time I worked with Dick on the movie Bye Bye Birdie, I have admired his many talents, not the least of which is the joy and enthusiasm he shares with audiences. I'm a big fan of hisâ€¦â€¦and his book." -Ann-Margret "Van Dyke tells a wonderful story about himself and his times. And-in an often surprsingly relevant manner-our times.
