The sound of 87 year old Dick Van Dyke’s Jaguar exploding.
His wife is 46 years younger than him and they were married last year, although there is no connection between those two pieces of information.

wiki mentions her but also lists:
Partner(s) Michelle Triola (1976–2009; her death)
Can’t blame the old man for falling in love again but it make one wonder about the motivations of a 41 year old woman marrying an 87 year old wealthy man.

the great sex of course!
His former partner was the one who sued Lee Marvin for “palinony,” She did the law suit while she was living with Van Dyke for her time with Lee Marvin years earlier…. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Triola_Marvin
er… palimony
Wow. Great memory. I had not recognized the name but I remember the front page news. Wow… with pals like that 😉
She seems to have changed her name to try and hide it. I just looked her up on Wikipedia out of habit, and then found it…
Keep in mind there’s room for intrigue here. Exploding car? Foul play?
Just remember that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was written by Ian Fleming.
No, really. It was.
