Mary Tyler Moore

Mary Tyler Moore (December 29, 1936 – January 25, 2017) was an American producer, social advocate and noted stage, film and television actress — widely known for her prominent television sitcom roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–1977) and on The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961–1966).

Career
In her film work, Moore developed a markedly wide range, including 1967's Thoroughly Modern Millie and 1980's Ordinary People, the latter earning Moore a nomination for Academy Award for Best Actress. Moore was a noted advocate for animal rights, vegetarianism, and diabetes.

With her two most prominent roles challenging gender stereotypes and norms, The New York Times said Moore's "performances on [The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show] helped define a new vision of American womanhood." With The Mary Tyler Moore Show addressing subjects including equal pay for women, divorce, infidelity, homosexuality, premarital sex, infertility and addiction, The Guardian said: "her outwardly bubbly personality and trademark broad, toothy smile disguised an inner fragility that appealed to an audience facing the new trials of modern-day existence."
