Entertainment legends Carol Burnett and Dick Van Dyke shared an emotional farewell after reuniting at Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, as both nonagenarians recognized it might be their last goodbye, sources revealed to sydtomarket.net.
The longtime friends and comedic partners from *The Carol Burnett Show* exchanged a heartfelt embrace when 98-year-old Dick attended the ceremony to see 91-year-old Carol leave her handprints in the cement outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in L.A.
“Both got a bit teary-eyed when it was time to part,” a Hollywood insider shared. “It had been ages since they last saw each other, and Carol held onto Dick’s arm, looked at him deeply, and told him to take care of himself. The sincerity was clear in her eyes and voice.”
In June, Dick made history as the oldest Daytime Emmy winner for his guest role on *Days of Our Lives,* but sources say that despite Carol’s robust health, she supported him as they walked together, her arm linked with his.
“It’s heartbreaking to think about losing these two icons, but given their ages, it’s a reality,” the insider added.
While the pair smiled for cameras, Dick’s determination to stay active has raised concerns. Last year, the *Mary Poppins* star suffered a bloody nose in a solo car crash, prompting his younger wife, Arlene, 52, to take away his car keys — a move that caused tension between them.
“Dick’s reached a point where he shouldn’t be driving anymore,” a source noted at the time, explaining that Arlene feared for his safety. Despite the concern, Dick resisted, insisting on his independence.
Despite his age, Van Dyke remains committed to his career, dismissing loved ones’ advice to slow down. “Everyone needs to butt out and let him enjoy his remaining years however he wants,” a source revealed. After his car accident, Van Dyke even joked, “All my friends are gone. I’m still having fun.”
