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.
