It's weird because Valerie Harper, who has terminal brain cancer, outlived her.

Know of her her more by reputation than by her output.
R.I.P.

It's not surprising news as she hasn't been well.

I'm a huge Mary Tyler Moore Fan. I recently watched all 7 seasons of the Mary Tyler Moore show and thoroughly enjoyed it. I plan on watching it again some time.

No one else like her!

First show:



You made it after all.

I thought this was a hoax and was not amused...I am devastated and did not see this one coming at all...I'm speechless...a richly underrated actress who has entertained me since I was a child. I can't believe this...2017 is off to a horrible start. OK, I'm watching Ted and Georgette's wedding again, I'm going to find "Chuckles Bites the Dust" and watch that again, and, of course, a re-watch of Ordinary People is definitely in order. Seriously fighting tears right now...RIP.

This is such sad news. I was devastated when I heard it earlier today. "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" are two of my favorite shows. I have the complete series of both shows on DVD, and I've been watching some of my favorite episodes since I heard the news.

Here are some highlights of her talent:

From "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
"You Wonderful You""


"Mountain Greenery":



Mary Tyler Moore has said that this was her favorite episode from "The Dick Van Dyke Show"

The best episode from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show":

One of my favorite lesser known movies starring Mary Tyler Moore and Robert Preston:
"Finnegan Begin Again" (1985)

We used to have the Dick Van Dyke Show and the Mary Tyler Moore show on tv when I was a kid. They were iconic sitcoms. MTM played a lovely, really likeable woman so much so that I bet she was like that in real life. From this side of the ocean in the MTM show she seemed like something to aspire to, a breezy woman living a great life. RIP

LOVED Finnegan Begin Again...I was sure for years that I was the only person on the planet who had seen it.

Christine, I watched Mary Tyler Moore as a guest on Late Night with David Letterman quite abit back in the 1980s and 1990s, and she seemed just like her character from the MTM show, very warm, giving, wholesome and nice! If the world was full of Marys, it would be a better place

David Letterman really admired and cared for her, that was easy to see. She had given him his first big break when he was a cast member on her ill fated TV variety show that came after MTM...it was called Mary and had only 3 episodes, which I watched recently, I believe it was on youtube.

Mary Tyler Moore Tyler Moore Moore Moore.

I remember having a crush on her when she was on the Dick Van Dyke show. She was so cute in those slacks.

She was a good caring person in addition to her acting skills. She will be missed.
