Mary Tyler Moore dies

She seems so young here, but she was in her thirties back in the early seventies when this  show was on.  She was eighty years old.

I liked her.





Update:

It just so happens that I had some DVDs of that show.  The character that she played was of a certain character type that might be called "super-agreeable".  The curious thing about such a character is that everybody loves a super-agreeable, but such a person can neither exert authority, nor be taken seriously.  One of the episodes covered that very fact.

Another thing here, and this one relates to an observation about TV characters:  sometimes characters get mixed up with the actor, so that Mary Tyler Moore is thought of as Ann Richards, the character on the show.

I would never make that mistake.  ahem
