MARGIE WILLETT: BIOGRAPHY

Margie Willett was born in 1927 and raised in Danville, Illinois. It was there that she met her future husband, Van Dyne, in 1947. Reportedly, the two were lovers at first sight and got engaged after dating for a month. Then they moved to Los Angeles and got married in the presence of millions. Willett even has 4 children with Dyke-Barry, Carrie, Stacy and Christian.

Margie is a very private person. For the most part, she was able t keep her personal life out of the media, and we respect her decision to do so. Despite her marriage to one of Hollywood’s most famous people, she has remained silent and even keeps her children away from the paparazzi.

MARGIE WILLETT: MARRIED LIFE

As discussed above, Margie was married to famous Hollywood actor Dick Van Dyke. During their relationship, they were both addicted to prescription drugs and alcohol. However, they were seeking treatment and went to the same rehabilitation center.

They were together for 36 years, but the ride was never smooth. Van Dyke had an extramarital affair with his agent’s secretary, Michelle Triola. Dyke tried to keep this matter away from the media and obviously his wife. However, he decided to clean himself up in 1976. After acknowledging what he was doing, Triola unsuccessfully sued Dyke for a six-figure sum. Then the couple decided to separate and their relationship officially ended in 1984.

MARGIE WILLETT: DEATH AND NET WORTH

After divorcing Dyke, Margie remained single and died of cancer later in 2009. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009 and knew she didn’t have long. The news of Willett’s death was obviously heartbreaking for Dyke, even though they were no longer together.

Margie was enjoying the luxurious life she was with the famous actor. The couple with their 4 children led a wonderful life and her husband had a net worth of $30 million. According to some reports, she shared some of that with Margie as part of child support.
