She was such a beautiful young woman - Laura Petrie!
Such a beautiful icon of pre-feminism western culture.
I think her hair style at that time was influenced by Jackie Kennedy.
As a child, I watched that program with my mother, who was about same age as MTM.
Laura Petrie and Mary Richards. Prayers up.
She was a doll!
And in her day she was a great actress and comedienne.
From one of the best sitcoms ever:
"width=500">
Yes the quintessential babe of the late Beat era
Flip hair style
Tight capris
Dark turtleneck
Keds simple white tennnies
My mother basically
Similar looking and same style
Or sleeveless shift boucle dress with gloves
Women were more feminine
Laura Petrie = off-the-chart hot.
Mary Richards = not nearly as hot as Laura Petrie. Funny how those things work.
Dick Van Dyke Show = Greatest TV sitcom ever (IMHO).
