Mary Tyler Moore, the beloved actress who turned the world on with her smile, has died. The legendary star of The Mary Tyler Moore Show passed away Tuesday in a Connecticut hospital. She was 80.
Moore’s longtime publicist Mara Buxbaum confirmed the sad news in a statement.
“Today, beloved icon, Mary Tyler Moore, passed away at the age of 80 in the company of friends and her loving husband of over 33 years, Dr. S. Robert Levine.”
WENN.com — The actress was reportedly suffering from a number of health issues in the weeks before her death.
Moore has been battling diabetes for many years and she underwent brain surgery in 2011.
Moore’s formidable career in Hollywood took off over 50 years ago, when she became a household name portraying character Laura Petrie on classic U.S. sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show from 1961 to 1966. She then moved on to star in her namesake program The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which broadcast on the small screen from 1970 to 1977.
She was also a film star, and her work in 1980 drama Ordinary People earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
Flowers have been placed on her Hollywood Walk of Fame star, where fans are expected to gather this evening to pay their respects to the actress.

Those were the days of reruns. I watch the channel no that shows Knight Rider, the old Macgyver, Mama’s Family, Batman (I be dying? at “POW”),Mister Ed etc. It’s called Me TV. MamaPEP likes M.A.S.H marathons.

When Betty leave this earth I’m gonna be no goodT
Awwwwwww.
RIP
More than you. We love her.
you and me both!!!
Every time I see her name I get scared. It was just her bday on the 17th and I was shook at all the attention.
Me TV is the best!!!! Batman is hilariously cheesy!
Betty has been a little quiet lately….
welcome back kotter and white shadow was my shows yesss,
There were a lot of great actors on that show! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e29b9e600db7a4c6643a4de41a618405a364c69674553f2a388fa2708b6d66bd.gif
girl I watch episodes on youtube at night sometimes..and know the episodes still be laughing…
Them walking sideways up the wall like they’re climbing up the building. MamaPEP be like “see what I had to deal with?” Better than holding the colored screen to the tv for color.
I loved the Mary Tyler Moore show. She seemed like she didn’t have a mean bone in her body… Thanks Mary, for the good times.
Classic
Good comedy is timeless!
Her birthday was the 17th. She’s 95.
THIS. Everytime I see her name trend Im like JESUS NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Not YET. She is an institution.
to live to be 95 is amazing in this age, when it is written that folks live to 900+yrs old. I was not there to witness it tho..
All of this plus my Three’s company. Jack Tripper is never gonna be NOT funny to me.
Slapstick comedy at its finest. The Chrissy years were the best though.
Condolences to her family.
Hey Roses
hey gal!!
sometimes they want to go and rest on, my great grand surly did, she said she was tired of living she wanted to go rest she was 104-106(its always been around those ages)
Hey Butterboo, how’s it going?
Betty LIVES and ENJOYS her life. She’s a spunky lil thing and I love her for it. She’s still working, AMAZING!!!??<—PRAISE HIM
Hey Sis !
Hope all is well
Yeah I aint like Teri or Cindy as “the blonde”. Chrissy Snow was iconic. And I loved Janet lol.
OMG…Mama’s family!
Yeah. That Behind the Scenes movie was so interesting to me. Shame what happened. Good while it lasted though.
Hey Sis. Things are well indeed. Just wrapping up training at work and planning Lil Butter’s birthday get-together. I can’t believe I’ll have a 9 year old soon, Lord willing.
I be in here crying
Hey Peppy. Things are going good. I finally wrapped up with work, so I figured I’d shoot the breeze with y’all for a spell.
How you be?

Bewitch and I dream of Jeanie are my shows. Never gets old
Yaaaaas! I was looking to get off the plantation I was on. Thank goodness I found something that treats me mighty fine. I think I’ve been elevated to house nigra status. They’re even kind to Lil Butter.
Has Betty White, outlived them all?

MissyJ: Nawl cause I belee Betty put a root on all dem
Welp!!!
So sad.
Indeed ?
Well damn ?
That’s right Sandra, she played man-hungry Sue Ann NIvens and she was always chasing Lou Grant, but he didn’t want her. I guess I’m showing my age.
I watched Bewitched go from black and white to color, that show was the bomb!!
Man, I was so in love with the coach! He still looks good, he was in the Wedding Ringer with Kevin Hart, played the father of the bride.
Everything good gal … J growing chile and so is her mouth ?
You watch Maude? You’re my girl for real!???
Chile… Mama’s Family is still the bomb. Poor Vinton!
One of Oprah’s idols…
Yes! And there’s my Maude! God all get you for that ?? The black maid after Mrs. Nagatuck was not funny.
Loved watching her show. Rest In Peace.
I forgot MTM’s show was the springboard for Valerie Harper’s show, Rhoda. Rhoda reruns were everything to me growing up. I really watched them as if I was going through the same struggles Rhoda was going through with Joe. I wanted them to make it so bad. Lol
MTM was one of the few women on tv during her era who embodied strength and substance. A lot of little girls and women grew to emulate what they watched on tv.
This is the end of an era. We need more substantive programming that serves to empower and uplift.
Thanks.
I use to love Mary Tyler Moore show. My mother use to make us watch nick at nite. Lol we couldn’t watch wild stuff. She made us watch shows she called wholesome. I like the character Mary played on that show.
RIP Mary Tyler Moore
She was so gorgeous when she was young. Funny, smart, accomplished woman she was. May she rest in peace.
Yes! Sue Ann Nivens was delightfully mean on that show. ?
