Barry Van Dyke wife- Mary Carey Van Dyke untold truth. Bio, facts.

The Van Dyke’s have been in Hollywood for three generations. It all started with the award-winning actor, comedian, writer, singer, and dancer, Dick Van Dyke. Dick was recognized as a Disney Legend and was honored with Screen Actors Guild’s highest honor, the SAG Life Achievement Award, in 2013. Of his four children, his second son, Barry Van Dyke, followed him into the entertainment industry and managed to make a name for himself. While all of Barry’s four children have found work in the entertainment industry, Shane Van Dyke is the most popular of the lot. While much has been written about the three-generation, there is little mention of their respective partners. This is why, in this article, we will take a closer look at the wiki-bio of Mary Carey Van Dyke. 

Who is Mary Carey Van Dyke?

Mary Carey is an American personality, even though, not involved in the acting profession, she gets recognition as the fame rubs on her through her famous actor husband. She married Barry Van Dyke, an American actor in 1974. In her own right, she is a homemaker, wife, mother, and grandmother.

Bits and Pieces:

There is very little information about Mary’s early life. Information on her parents is difficult to come by and Mary is not a huge fan of media. It is believed that Mary met Barry way back in 1967 and fell in love. The pair dated for 7-years before tying the knot in 1974. Even though the Van Dyke household was at the center of attention in more instances than one, neither Mary nor Barry decided to disclose any information on their personal life.

Married Life and Children:

Since her marriage to Barry in 1974, Mary has given birth to four lovely children. The pair had their first child Cary Van Dyke, who was born on the 25th of February, 1976. Shayne Van Dyke was born on the 28th of August 1979 and was followed by Wes Van Dyke, who was born on the 22nd of October, 1984. Their youngest child, Tyra Van Dyke, was born on the 1st of June, 1986. 

Of her four children, Shayne followed his father and grandfather into the acting industry and is probably the more popular of the lot. Both Shayne and Carey turned into exceptional television and film actors, film directors, and screenwriters. As for Wes, he did try to follow his father and grandfather into acting but soon realized he was out of his depth. After a career revelation, Wes started working as an artist and is quite good at his job. As for the youngest of her children, Tyra also worked as an actress but had very few credits to her name. 

Social Media:

Mary is not active on any kind of social media neither is her husband Barry Van Dyke as a result any peek at their current life affair is hard to come by. In the past, Mary was seen joining her husband in many red-carpet events and Hollywood film festivals. She can also look forward to her children who are in the acting profession and maybe she could join them in the awards or other ceremonies. Her son Carey, an actor and screenwriter, has given a rare glimpse of what Mary is like and how she has taken care of the entire family over the years. On May 11, 2015, Carey wished her “Happy Mother’s day” by writing:

“For nearly forty years, she has taken care of this entire group. Calling her Supermon is just skimming the surface. I’d saint her if I could. I love you mom. I owe you everything. Happy Mother’s Day.”
