Definitely a bummer. A lot of the people from the old shows are passing.
A feminist without being a shrill and abrasive feminazi.
Very few of them left any more.
I’m far too young to have grown up watching her. But I have seen the reruns on TV Land, I have seen the film Ordinary People recently & I’ve seen interviews & stories about her. I admired her much. So sorry to learn of her death :’(
Oh no. Mary is basically the princesses of Minneapolis. Damn!
I loved her work, from Dick Van Dyke to MTM Show to Ordinary People, she was great.
Best line on MTM “Mary, ya’ know what...you got SPUNK!” “Why, thank you, Mr. Grant,” “I HATE SPUNK!!”
Sad news.

When I lived in So Calif, one of my favorite places to go eat was Art’s Deli, on Ventura Blvd. I often saw her in there.
RIP Laura Petrie.
She and President Bush are two. Who will be the third?
A TV icon for sure. Now replaced by the likes of Madonna and Ashley Judd. You’ve come a long way, baby.
Long before she was Mary Richards she was Laura Petrie. And while feisty enough, Laura was anything but a feminist. She was as archetypal a housewife as June Cleaver, if not quite as smarmy.
May the angels sing her home.
Prayers for family
Any of us at about age 70+ lost our virtual girlfriend today. RIP beautiful lady.
RIP MTM!
And she was on That 70’s Show too!
She was a nice lady and a funny actress. Used to like when she do her modern dance routine on the old “Dick Van Dyke Show’’.
She was 18 when she played Laura Petrie
Probably 17 when she was the legs on the Diamond show.
Me too. I never liked the Dick VanDyke show.....too much silliness, not enough comedy imho but I loved the MTM show. I loved her apartment and her clothes.....lol. It was a funny show but her performance in “Ordinary People” really showed what a versatile actress she was. RIP Mary.......
