Career
Before meeting Dick, Arlene was a make-up artist; she started her career in 2003 in the comedy-drama film “Carolina”, as an assistant in the art department. Her name steadily became better known, and she was given new responsibilities when it comes to make-up on film. It was in 2007 that she got her first credit as a make-up artist, on the film “Murder 101: If Wishes Were Horses”, and the same year worked on several other projects, including “The Men of Delta Farce Salute the Troops”, then “Mr. Chili: Too Hot for TV!”, and “Hacienda Confidential”.

Since then, she worked on several other projects, with the most recent being the short video “Merry Xmas” in 2015.
Popularity through Marriage
Arlene, although a star on her own, became even more famous through her marriage to Dick Van Dyke. The two met in 2006 at the SAG Awards, when Dick approached her and asked her for her name. In interviews, Dick stated that he had never approached another stranger in his life and that Arlene was an exception. He was stunned by her beauty, but the couple dated for six years before deciding to tie the knot. Their unconventional love, raised a few eyebrows, but the two have proven that love is ageless and knows no boundaries. Although the two don’t have children of their own, Arlene is a step-mother to Christian Van Dyke, Barry Van Dyke, Stacy Van Dyke and Carrie Beth van Dyke, Dick’s children from his first marriage to Marjorie Willett. Once she became known as the second wife of Dick Van Dyke, everybody wanted to know more about Arlene and her life before she met Dick. However, she has managed to keep hidden all the important details of her life to that point, but hopefully she starts sharing important details about her life.
