Tony Garofalo reunites with Dick Van Dyke in Los Angeles on January 24th, 2015, by presenting him with his complete, original screen-worn “Doll on the Music Box" clown costume used in the 1968 movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The costume is owned and maintained by Tony Garofalo. Tony spent the entire day with Dick Van Dyke, and his wife and staff, during a rare sign in appearance… a very momentous occasion. Dick examined the costume in detail saying, “Yup, this is mine all right”, and gave Tony a ‘big thank you’ for bringing it 3000 miles for such a rare occasion.
