Dick van Dyke is definitely NOT like his "aw, gosh golly gee whiz" on screen persona. He pretty much personified the wholesome, traditional, early 1960s nuclear family dad.

In real life the guy is a foul mouthed, raving left-wing loon. Even in his 90s he headlined a bunch of Bernie Sanders rallies because he thought Hillary was too-right wing.

Gregory Peck and Andy Griffith were likewise deranged leftist a-holes in real-life.

Gregory Peck and Andy Griffith were likewise deranged leftist a-holes in real-life.

Andy Griffith's last wife, an actress more than thirty years his junior, had his remains buried FIVE HOURS after he died. Then she had their house demolished.

Now THERE'S a real-life Matlock mystery for you.
