Dick Van Dyke, 86, marries makeup artist

10 March 2012
Dick Van Dyke's publicist has said the 86-year-old actor is a very happy newlywed.

Publicist Bob Palmer said Van Dyke and 40-year-old makeup artist Arlene Silver were married last week in a small Leap Day ceremony at a Malibu chapel near Van Dyke's home.

Members of Silver's family and some of the star's close friends were on hand for the small service.

Palmer said Van Dyke and Silver became friends about five years ago after meeting at a Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Michelle Triola Marvin, Van Dyke's partner of 30 years, died in October 2009 at age 76.

Palmer said Silver and Van Dyke have much in common, including a love of singing, adding that he has never seen the actor happier.

It'll be a case for Diagnosis Murder if she bumps him off. 46 year gap! C'mon, it's not for love on her part is it?

Thought this was about to say he died then D: He must be very naive to think she's in it solely for love..

Good ol dick

[Harry!]

If this was a 86 year old woman marrying a 40 year old there would be an outcry!

[Benjamin]

I've loved Dick ever since I was a kid. Although I don't think he'll be around much longer.

Though if someone gets to that age I don't suppose they care, as long as they are happy enough before they pop their clogs :D

[bbfan1991]

Good on him, hope they are happy together:).

[Livia]

I hope they're very happy. I don't see that the age difference is anyone's business but theirs.
