Mary Tyler Moore Stole America’s Heart
After her stint as Laura Petrie ended, Mary Tyler Moore got her own series — The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Amazingly, her show was awarded twenty-nine Emmy Awards! Moore wrote two memoirs in which she detailed her struggles with alcoholism and her journey towards recovery. She suffered from Type I diabetes, kidney failure, and legal blindness. Sadly, Moore died at the age of 80, in January 2017. In an announcement, her publicist said, “Mary will be remembered as a fearless visionary who turned the world on with her smile.”
