We live in a world where different people strive to get famous and attain the status of a celebrity through their careers and accomplishments. While this seems like the tougher and longer route to stardom, there is another group of people who get to have the spotlight shine on them simply because of their association/relationship with an already famous individual. Arlene Silver belongs to the latter group of fortunate people.
Silver is an American-born professional makeup artist and is known to be excellent at her work. However, she is better known for her romantic involvement with iconic Hollywood star, Dick Van Dyke.
