Show Business

Mary Tyler Moore was an American actress, producer, and all around great human being. She is best known for her roles on The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961–1966) and The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–1977), which "helped define a new vision of American womanhood." Moore won seven Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Ordinary People. In addition to her personal acting career, in 1969, Moore and her husband Grant Tinker founded MTM Enterprises, Inc. which produced The Mary Tyler Moore Show and other successful television shows and films. MTM Enterprises produced American sitcoms and drama television series such as Rhoda, Lou Grant and Phyllis (all spin-offs from The Mary Tyler Moore Show), The Bob Newhart Show, The Texas Wheelers, The Bob Crane Show, Three for the Road, The Tony Randall Show, WKRP in Cincinnati, The White Shadow, Friends and Lovers, St. Elsewhere, Newhart, and Hill Street Blues, and was later sold to Television South. All in, all of the MTM Enterprise shows won a total of 80 Emmy's including 29 just for The Mary Tyler Moore Show alone. Upon her death, she was laid to rest at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Fairfield CT.

Fun Facts:

She started as “Happy Hotpoint,” a tiny, dancing elf in commercials for Hotpoint appliances, earning $6,000 in five days, but was let go when she got pregnant.

Her first regular role on Richard Diamond, Private Detective only showed her legs, making her character mysterious.

In 1961, she broke barriers by wearing pants on a sitcom as Laura Petrie, a revolutionary fashion choice for women on TV.

Mary Tyler Moore was a trailblazer who played the first single career woman on TV. The hat toss in the opening of The Mary Tyler Moore Show is so iconic that a bronze statue of Mary Richards now stands in Minneapolis.

She was an early animal rights and diabetes activist (even filming commercials for the JDRF).

She overcame personal struggles like alcoholism and the tragic loss of her son, eventually becoming a successful TV producer with her own company.
