Dick Van Dyke, 97, made a very special public appearance as he attended the opening of a new exhibit featuring the works of his longtime photographer Laura Johansen.
Moments In Time Portraits By Laura Johansen will focus on the past decade of Dick’s life, and he attended the opening with his wife Arlene Silver, 52, and family by his side.
The Hollywood legend looked healthier than ever as he sported a tweed blazer with black pants, a white dress shirt, black pants and matching sneakers.
The Mary Poppins star appeared to be in great spirits as he was seen walking on his own with the slight help of a walking stick.
Arlene, who has been married to Dick for more than 11 years, looked great in an all-black ensemble which included a plunging top.

One of his four children, Barry Van Dyke, was also seen lending his support for his father and Johansen’s photography.
This comes after it was announced CBS would be airing a special on the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang actor just before Christmas.
Titled Dick Van Dyke 98 Years Of Magic, the show will look back at the screen legend’s storied career and will air a week after Dick celebrates his 98th birthday, according to Deadline.
