He's aged remarkably, as has Ted Danson, who (along with his wife, Mary Steenburgen) interviewed DVD at his home awhile back. Definitely worth watching.
I know Dick predates the media format by several decades, but seeing these initials was jarring. My brain kept insisting this sentence was trying to say something about an interview with Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen on Digital Video Disc...
Fun fact: though Video has become accepted, DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc.
Fun Fact: DVD originally was called Digital Video Disc and was changed shortly after because it began being used for other non-video purposes.
Source: I was there when DVD was first introduced to the market.

I looked into it further because I definitely remember them being introduced as Versatile; the name change happened in 1995 about a year and a half before the first DVDs were produced.
Well, today I learned!
Same with Mary Steenburgen. She's 72! It's insane how well they both aged and they're adorable/aspirational in the way they treat each other.
She always seems like the sweetest person.
Some people have genes that basically delays aging about 20 years so if they take care of themselves they look around 20 years younger than they are, even before makeup and other appearance boosters that entertainment folks tend to do.
I work with someone who is 15 years older than me that I always think is younger because she both looks and behaves younger. I'm pretty confident she will make it to 100.
He started looking like that about 50 years ago and basically just stopped ageing at that point. There is probably some decrepit portrait somewhere.
