Actress Mary Tyler Moore, beloved TV icon, dies at 80

"Mary Tyler Moore, the multiple Emmy-winning actress who first charmed TV viewers on “The **** Van Dyke Show” in the 1960s and became a beloved TV icon who could “turn the world on with her smile” on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” in the 1970s, has died. She was 80.

In a career that began as Happy Hotpoint, the dancing and singing 3-inch pixie in Hotpoint appliance commercials on “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” in 1955 when she was 18, Moore went on to star in television and films and on Broadway.

In 1981, she received an Academy Award nomination for best actress for her portrayal of the emotionally cold mother in “Ordinary People,” the Robert Redford-directed drama about an upper-middle-class family dealing with the death of its eldest son in a boating accident with his brother.

The unsympathetic, dark role was a departure for Moore, who remains best known for her light touch in two classic situation comedies that, together, earned her six Emmy Awards.

Moore was still largely unknown when she was cast as Laura Petrie, the suburban housewife and mother of a young son opposite Van Dyke’s TV comedy writer husband Rob on “The **** Van Dyke Show.”

The acclaimed sitcom, which aired on CBS from 1961 to 1966, earned Moore her first two Emmys and made her a star.

Her Capri-pants-wearing Laura brought something new to the traditional sitcom role of wife and mother: youthful sex appeal."

@En_Sabah_Nur didn't mean it disrespectfully, the news quickly came out so he probably rushed and put it out. The ! point is just there because it was shocking.

RIP Mary Tyler Moore, you will be missed by us all

My heart hurts, she was one of my favorite things growing up. The Mary Tyler Moore show re-runs gave me so much life. This is so utterly depressing, my heart goes out to her family, friends, and many many fans. :(

While I was never all that familiar with her life and body of work, I can tell from people's reactions that she was a wonderful and talented woman, and she will be missed so much by so many. She had such a beautiful, radiant smile.

So sad to hear this. Mary Tyler Moore was such an amazing actress and advocate for diabetes research. I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 2 years ago and with her activism I am able to live a healthier life with this disease. Thank you SO MUCH Mary Tyler Moore love u RIP ❤️❤️❤️
