Wow sorry to hear. I grew up in New York city and here’s a funny story about Mary: One day in the 1980s my mom was trying to double park her car on the upper east side of Manhattan and we found a spot and this woman was standing in it. So my mom started backing up and this lady wouldn’t move, it looked like she daydreaming or something. So my mom blew the horn and STILL she wouldn’t move, she didn’t even look at us. So she blew the horn again and got ticked off so she yelled out the window “What the F are you doing? Wake the hell up, move your effin ass!” (hey New York, you know) So this lady looks at my mom and starts laughing and stepped away and I recognized her immediately, it was Mary Tyler Moore and I said so. I guess she was laughing that someone treated her like an everyday person, but now that I think of it she was also a classy lady. But anyway my mom got embarrassed as hell and parked and we walked away fast, never got her autograph LOL!

I remember they sang “It’s a long way to Tipperary” right after they got their kleenex.

There is a subtype of type 1 diabetes called late onset autoimmune diabetes of adulthood. She was seven months pregnant and lost the baby when she was diagnosed in 1970. The stress of pregnancy probably brought on the disease.

She lived with the disease for over forty years and suffered all its complications. Nevertheless, she was a visible advocate for diabetes research.

We should all think about making a contribution to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in her memory. She was a prominent spokeswoman for them and really helped the organization grow. They’re probably the biggest diabetes related organization in the world right now, in no small measure to MTM.

Who can turn the world on with her smile?

Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?

Well it's you girl, and you should know it

With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it

You can have a town, why don't you take it

You're gonna make it after all

Moore said: "The embryos that are being discussed today, according to researchers, bear as much resemblance to a human being as a goldfish. Our obligation is to those who are here."

So sad to see this.

Well, she missed the bandwagon of 2016.

Another memory down the drain!

In fairness to her memory, Ed Asner was quoted not too long ago that Moore became much more conservative in her views in recent years, and was a fan of Sarah Palin.

We can hope that she also became more pro-life, but as others have said, this thread is not the place to condemn her. Of the dead, speak no evil. An old Latin saying.

I was going to quip that maybe she was saving it. My grandfather had that kind of chutzpah way back when.

Her make believe TV show which made you laugh doesn’t erase the real life monster who demands babies be killed because she wants their cells.

“A little song,
A little dance,
A little seltzer down your pants.”

I loved that episode.
Thanks for the memory!
RIP, Mary!

“real life monster”?!

Go ahead and cast the first stone at her. But I see you already have.

I’ve never heard that. Are you sure you’re thinking of Mary Tyler Moore?

“In an interview for the 2013 PBS series Pioneers of Television, Moore says that she was “recruited” to join the feminist movement of the 1970s by Gloria Steinem but did not agree with Steinem’s views. Moore said she believed that women have an important role in raising children and that she did not believe in Steinem’s view that “women owe it to themselves to have a career.”

“Isn’t she the one who dismisses murdered babies as “detritus”?”

I don’t know. I can’t find anything on her position on abortion. I know she was big into the animal rights thing for a while, so I assumed she was liberal.

However, I ready that in the 70’s she turned down Gloria Stienam request to join her feminist movement,
