Ed Asner and Dick Van Dyke gave speeches in the ceremony. Barbara starred with Ed Asner in a 1969 episode of Mission Impossible and the 2015 short Pacific Edge. Barbara corrected Ed when he referred to her as "Millicent" (her birth name was Mildred). Barbara had a memorable comedy role in a 1963 episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show and appeared in a 1997 episode of Dick Van Dyke's series Diagnosis Murder. Dick Van Dyke's own Walk of Fame star got his name wrong: Dick Vandyke.
