R.I.P. Mary Tyler Moore

https://www.yahoo.com/tv/mary-tyler-moore-pioneer-on-and-off-the-screen-has-died-194733054.html

Mary Tyler Moore, whose touchstone of a 1970s sitcom ushered in a new era for women on and off camera, has died. She was 80.

After achieving fame on The Dick Van Dyke Show, Moore won four Primetime Emmys for her work as the spunky and unrepentantly single TV news producer on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which ran from 1970 to 1977. She later earned an Oscar nomination as the icy mother in Ordinary People and co-founded the influential production company behind iconic series like The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, Hill Street Blues, and St. Elsewhere.

More than anything, though, Moore made her mark as Mary Richards. "I think she represents an indomitable spirit — that she believes, as everyone can, in possibilities," Moore told CNN of her alter ego in 2002.

Just saw this on a news channel. I absolutely loved The Mary Tyler Moore show! The intro to the show where she tosses her beret into the air....iconic television moment! She had great comedic talent and her facial expressions were priceless!

May she RIP.

RIP:

"Throw your set up to the roof, huh
Third finger down, if you're wild, make a sound
Look at my people gettin' on down (Get down, get down)
Skip the Remy and let me have some Mary Tyler Moore of that new power soul
Comin' from the Midwest passin' every test with a fuzz tone remote control"

RIP pray As well as enjoying watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show......my fav films of hers were Change of Habit (1969) with Elvis Presley and Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) with Julie Andrews. Every time I use an elevator, I think of tap dancing like they did in the film lol

Keep Calm & Listen To Prince
