Dick Van Dyke and Ed Asner maintained a long friendship, one that led to a fun professional rivalry and hopes that they’d get to team up on screen — but sadly, the pair didn’t get their planned remake of The Odd Couple into production before Asner died in 2021 at age 91.
Dick, now 99, revealed his and Asner’s plans to remake the classic comedy in a Q&A at his and wife Arlene Van Dyke’s Vandy Camp event in Malibu, California, per People.
