“Diminished”??!?!

All I know is that many celebrities that live that long can be somewhat forgotten as time goes on, especially when they decide to retire.

Van Dyke has kept busy acting. Although I don’t have a streaming platform, I know (from SO?) that he appeared on Days of Our Lives at 98.

I would say that there just isn’t much of a call for 98 year olds to act. That’s NOTHING to be ashamed of, though.

Wonderful human being.
