  Woody Van Dyke - Wikpedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Born in San Diego, California, Van Dyke was a child actor on the vaudeville circuit, and in his early adult years was unsettled and moved from career to career until arriving in Hollywood.
Van Dyke was also known to hire old-time, out-of-work actors as extras; because of his loyalty he was much beloved and admired in the industry.
Van Dyke was known for allowing ad-libbing (that remained in the film) and for coaxing natural performances from his actors.

 Van Dyke Real Estate
Van Dyke Parks (born January 3, 1941) is an American composer, arranger, producer, and musician, noted for his collaborations with Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys on the song "Heroes and Villains" and the recently released cult-classic-album, ''Smile''.
Van Dyke's first major role was on stage in ''Bye Bye Birdie'' in 1960, for which he won a Tony Award.
Van Dyke's attempt at a Cockney accent (and his tendency to lapse into and out of it) was widely ridiculed (especially in the UK), but the very popular and innovative film also showed his versatility as a singer and dancer.

 Paolo Squatriti | Offa's Dyke Between Nature and Culture | Environmental History, 9.1 | The History Cooperative
Wat's Dyke is a similar linear earthwork running through the same borderlands as Offa's Dyke, but restricted to the north and to a mere 65 kilometers' length.
Offa's Dyke may therefore have been a king's attempt to redefine how local resources were allocated in the frontier zone at the close of the era of Mercian conquests at Welsh expense.
For whatever else the Dyke was, it was a bold manipulation of the landscape and an imposition of a new human form on the resilient earth, hills, and gorges of the borderland.

 The Thin Man Part 1, page 1
After reading the book, Van Dyke told Stromberg that he would do the film but as a lighthearted, sophisticated mystery and he wanted William Powell and Myrna Loy in the lead roles of Nick and Nora Charles.
Van Dyke argued to Mayer that Powell and Loy as Nick and Nora would be droll, urbane and sophisticated while in the dangerous business of catching criminals.
With Van Dyke’s mandate that Nick and Nora be witty and urbane, husband and wife screenwriting team Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich set to work transforming Hammett’s novel into a script.

W.S. Van Dyke had been an assistant to silent film pioneer D.W. Griffith, and openly admitted that he learned everything he knew about filmmaking from the master.
Griffith was not the only silent film figure to benefit from Van Dyke's affection and loyalty to the silent period.

 Nation's Restaurant News: Downtown Detroit shifts into high gear; renewal spurs restaurant growth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Now it is a busy restaurant in the heart of the much-talked-about "Rivertown" area, an old warehouse district on the Detroit River just east of downtown that is being transformed by some $300 million in development projects into one of the city's most vital commercial and residential zones.
Woodbridge owner-manager Marcia Cron is the granddaughter of the original owners, who were immigrants from Belgium around the turn of the century.
She is a little more than surprised by her good fortune--business at her restaurant has more than quadrupled in recent years as people have rediscovered downtown--but she welcomes the change.

 Classic Images: Film Book Reviews, September 1996
He died in 1943, and in spite of two books (his own unreliable "Horning Into Africa" and the impossibly artificial "Van Dyke’s Hollywood"), we’ve had little more than anecdotal evidence of what he was like.
Van Dyke wrote it in the form of letters to one Josephine Chippo, his lover at the time, and since it was never intended for publication, it is unguarded, colorful, and vividly intimate.
Prepared in cooperation with the Van Dyke family, "W. Van Dyke’s Journal" is a treasure.

The struggles shook the towns and cities to their centers and cast the citizens in the heroic mould of defiance, but the tremor died out at the north and was lost in the roar of the winds and the surge of the sea.
It is probable that Jan was a true son of the dykes and thought he was born and reared in Amsterdam the sea and the wind of the north country were in his blood.
Jan Thomasse Van Dyke was the owner of one of these farms and in 1659 added to it a tract of meadow land extending toward what is now called Coney Island.

 UV1 Edgar Rice Burroughs Library
Woodbridge Strong Van Dyke II: Before entering the movie business, Van Dyke was a gold miner, a lumberjack, a railroad worker and a mercenary.
When White Shadows opened to critical and audience approval, Van Dyke was elevated to Hollywood's A-list of directors, though even when handed huge budgets and big stars he never altered his rush-it-through directorial technique (the one exception to this was his year-long sojourn on Trader Horn [1931]).
As a strong advocate of colonial expansion he was also a bitter enemy of Great Britain, and he was to a large extent responsible for the anti-British feeling of German Chauvinism during the last years of the 19th century.

 W.S. Van Dyke, II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Born Woodbridge Strong Van Dyke II in San Diego, California; nicknamed "One-Take Woody." After working as a gold miner, a lumberjack, a railroad worker and a mercenary, Van Dyke began his career as an assistant director, notably under D.W. Griffith on INTOLERANCE (1916).
He rose to prominence after he took over the direction of WHITE SHADOWS IN THE SOUTH SEAS (1928) from Robert Flaherty and, by the 1930s, had developed into one of MGM's most reliable directors.
Van Dyke was a capable craftsman whose nonchalant approach to filming earned him the nickname "One-Shot Woody"; it also brought him success at the box office, particularly with the "Thin Man" series, starring William Powell and Myrna Loy.
