LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It was a heart-melting moment for fans as long-time friends and co-stars Carol Burnett and Dick Van Dyke reunited at a ceremony to honor her, reported the NY Post. 

Burnett, 91, met her 'The Carol Burnett Show' costar on Thursday, June 20 as the comedy icon left her hand and footprints in cement at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatre, joining the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Sidney Poitier, and Van Dyke's 'Mary Poppins' costar Julie Andrews.

Burnett's much loved show aired from 1967 to 1978 and it featured Van Dyke, 98, on 11 episodes in 1977. Van Dyke had his own prints captured in a May 1966 event.

"I can't begin to count the times that my grandmother and I would walk up here to the Grauman's Chinese  that's what it was called then and look at all the footprints and handprints of all these great movie stars," Burnett said, adding, "Betty Grable was one of my favorites, and I remember bending down and putting my hands on her handprints, never dreaming that someday I'd be putting my hands here... 80 years later."
