I loved the Dick Van Dyke show, and it was an unbelievable thrill for me to actually visit the set, watch the rehearsal and meet the cast.
They were all so nice to me, and Mary Tyler Moore signed an autograph "Lotsa love."
18 months ago, I watched my beloved girlfriend die of cancer and go through the same kinds of symptoms that Mary Tyler Moore is going through, according to this article. So awful.
Mary Tyler Moore was wonderful and will be missed.
I am sorry for your loss.
I saw a picture of MTM on the front of National Enquirer in the grocery store the other day. She looked horrible.
Dementia steals one’s soul from them.
‘Pod.
God bless Miss Moore. If she accomplished nothing in her life but make people happy and laugh, she will have achieved a rich legacy.
Yes, The Dick Van Dyke Show was a seminal American comedy. And she was sooo very beautiful on that show. She was born to be photographed in black and white.
Very sorry for your loss and saddened about MTM. Age gets us all but I hope my body gives out before my mind. Blessings to all.
I don’t want her to suffer. But she was no friend of the unborn (promoted embryonic stem cell therapy).
So sorry for your loss. I would not be able to soldier on if I lost my child.
When Mart Tyler Moore dies she’ll be taking a chunk of my childhood with her.
For a long time I’ve thought “She always looks sad”. Even when Dick Van Dyke accepted an award with her a year ago on stage, and gave her a kiss on the cheek, Mary looked very down. I have not seen Mary T. Moore smile and really show happiness in years. Now I understand that her melancholy may have begun as far back as 1980, when her son Richie committed suicide.
Even with a devoted parent as Mary seemed to be, it’s not easy being a child of a very famous person, just ask Desi Arnaz Jr. who had a long alcohol problem.
Truly she was a part my “youth”.
Mary Tyler Moore is a comedic genius. Thank goodness she has her husband with her now, during this sad time of her life. Poor man.
God Bless MTM.
The article makes he son’s death sound like it wasn’t suicide but accidental.

She did 7 episodes 1959. I first saw her legs. They showed them whenever Diamond had to call into the office. No face shots. Sometimes side with an ear piece, to answer the phone. She was the receptionist, IIRC.
She resembles Jackie Kennedy (former First Lady to President John F Kennedy). At least it looks it to me.
Yes, very pretty.
