It’s a spring afternoon, high up in the mountains of Moab, Utah, and Kevin Costner looks up at the sky. Rough weather is starting to roll in and he needs to get back to work and bank some more scenes. After all, it’s coming out of his pocket. The project is called Horizon, the first of four films set in the pre- and post-Civil War expansion of the American West.

The "Mary Poppins" star married makeup artist Arlene Silver in 2012.The couple first met in 2006 and were friends for years.  "My positive attitude, I get that from my wife," Van Dyke told Yahoo! Entertainment in a recent phone interview.  The "Dick Van Dyke Show" actor said he also goes to the gym three days a week.
