Jerry Van Dyke To Show Film In Hot Springs

 Lindsey Clark     4 months ago
Actor and comedian Jerry Van Dyke joined august names like Bill Clinton and Johnny Cash on the Arkansas Walk of Fame in Hot Springs, but Van Dyke's plaque of honor is a little more silly.

It reads: "I love my wife Shirley and Hot Springs. Am I buried here?"

The 78-year-old Van Dyke, who is best known for his recurring role on the 1990s sitcom, "Coach," lives with his wife, Shirley, on a ranch in between Malvern and Benton in central Arkansas. He was inducted last weekend into the Walk of Fame, which honors notable Arkansans in a display of plaques in downtown Hot Springs.

Van Dyke also has a documentary that will be shown at this weekend's Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival. The documentary, "What's Eating Jerry Van Dyke?" is a comic look at Van Dyke's quest to redefine himself as a dramatic actor.
