Dick Clark - Biography
Dick Clark was an American tv personality who was born on November 30, 1929. He also hosted the game show Pyramid and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, which transmitted Times Square's New Year's Eve celebrations. Clark was well known for his trademark sign-off, "For now, Dick Clark — so long!", accompanied by a facsimile of a military salute.
Clark was born and raised in Mount Vernon, New York, to Richard Augustus Clark and Julia Fuller Clark nee Barnard. His only sibling, older brother Bradley, was killed in the Battle of the Bulge during World War II.
During an interview on Larry King Live in April 2004, Clark revealed that he had type 2 diabetes. His death certificate noted that Clark had coronary artery disease at the time of his death.
In December 2004, the 75-year-old was hospitalized in Los Angeles after suffering what was initially termed a minor stroke. Although he was expected to be fine, it was later announced that Clark would be unable to host his annual New Year's Rockin' Eve broadcast. Clark returned to the series the following year, but the dysarthria that resulted from the stroke rendered him unable to speak clearly for the remainder of his life. On April 18, 2012, Clark died from a fatal heart attack at the age of 82 while undergoing a transurethral resection procedure to treat an enlarged prostate. Clark's family did not immediately decide whether to have a public memorial service, but stated "there will be no funeral". He was cremated on April 20, and his ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean.
