For those of us 'of a certain age', Mary Tyler Moore will be remembered as Dick Van Dyke's wife, in the Dick Van Dyke Show. She also starred in her own series The Mary Tyler Moore show. RIP.

Whilst serving on a RAF base in Canada with CBC being the only TV Chanel available, the "Mary Tyler Moore Show" was the highlight of the day at 7pm.
RIP Mare and Thank You.

Sad, I remember her from the Dick Van Dyke shows about 100 years ago. She was the step mom of Mark Tinker, the guy behind Hill St Blues and St Elsewhere ( Not a lot of people know that )
Not QUITE 100 years ago

I think I read that she and her husband were behind St Elsewhere, and Hill St Blues (one of my all-time favourite TV programmes - excellent storylines, brilliantly acted). Apparently MTM was also nominated for an Oscar for the movie Ordinary People.

Kia and RW. . . . . . . . I can remember her too - so fondly (must have been about 6 months old!) . . . . . . . . .
Fabulous actress - and that smile.

Maggie, weirdly, I didn't know what you meant - the 'smilie' on your post looked fine - until I logged in, and whooooosh!!! Ginormous smilie - the biggest I've ever seen. Eeek! We're being taken over by GIANT smilies!

I have edited the post now as those giants are pretty annoying.
