From what I understand, both MTM and DIck VanDyke were alcoholics when they were doing the Dick VanDyke show. I think I read that her in memoirs - and they became close drinking buddies. Sad!
The tragic end of life for both of my beloved 70’s icons James Garner and now MTM is truly saddening. Makes me appreciate that both my parents (84 and 75) are alive and healthy.
I believe that she later reversed that position. Not that she should have ever embraced it.
Elvis Presley stated that he had slept with everyone of his co stars except one - Mary Tyler Moore.
Vastly underrated as an attractive woman. Ranks right up there with Farah Fawcett.
I know it does. My mother died of complicatins from it.
It’s my understanding Ms. Moore was very much invested on liberal causes, but in recent years she has become more conservative. I’m going to speculate that her support of stem cell research comes from her diabetes. People with incurable diseases often embrace any possible cure without thinking of the moral implications. As a diabetic myself, I won’t fault her for that.
For Christ's sake, let her be.....stop the ghoulish play by play and let her time come while in peace with her family
I know .she is a rare talent ..so much beauty, and also so funny. Rare combo indeed.
Thanks, I wish her the best.
I’m sorry for the loss of your girlfriend :-(
Sorry for your loss. MTM was young at 77. May she rest in peace with our King. The real One.
Do you wish that Maceman (and the moderators) had the decency to spare those of us that don't have a wandering eye in the supermarket checkout line?
Since when do we post from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER? No Infowars, but National Enquirer is legit?
Doubt very seriously that he did Delores Hart.
The entire supporting cast was awesome...more so because VanDyke never felt compelled to be the "star"..he gave them the ability to start as well..
She was such a beautiful young woman.
She recently made a cameo appearance on TV Land’s sitcom Hot In Cleveland. Re-uniting with former co-stars Betty White, Georgia Engel, Cloris Leachman and Valerie Harper. MTM did not look good, but she managed to get through her scenes. I was quite impressed as I had heard the same news that she had gone blind.
Val Harper also continues to struggle against a brain tumor.
Ah Maceman...brought tears to my eyes...both of your stories. I am truly sorry for your loss. God bless you and thank you for sharing.
According to Mother Dolores Hart’s autobiography “The Ear of the Heart:” Elvis was a perfect gentleman and called her “Miss Dolores” on and off the set. See pages 50-74.
She hasn’t died yet, has she? I think it was last year or year before that Valerie Harper was reported to have brain cancer and had 3 months to live. Last time I saw her on TV, which was only a few months ago, she looked great!
