Hello All!
Mary Tyler Moore, TV Icon, Dies at 80
Television great Mary Tyler Moore, the beloved star of "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," died Wednesday in Connecticut, her publicist
confirmed. She was 80.
"Today, beloved icon, Mary Tyler Moore, passed away at the age of 80 in the
company of friends and her loving husband of over 33 years, Dr. S. Robert
Levine," read the statement from Mara Buxbaum, her longtime rep. "A
groundbreaking actress, producer, and passionate advocate for the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation, Mary will be remembered as a fearless visionary
who turned the world on with her smile."
The vivacious brunette performer transformed the image of women on television
first as Van Dyke's sexy, vulnerable wife Laura Petrie and then as single
career girl Mary Richards in her own series. Her work in the two series brought
Moore five Emmy Awards, in 1965, 1966, 1973, 1974 and 1976. She won another
Emmy for 1993 TV special "Stolen Babies.
