Mary Tyler Moore RIP
 |
There is this notion that those characters with which we identify become a part of us. Not everyone subscribes to it — but I have been known to on occasion.
In my earliest days there was The Dick Van Dyke Show and Mrs Petrie portrayed by Mary Tyler Moore.
It was an innocent time of married couples sleeping in twin beds and nothing risque or remotely outside the general audience purview was allowed.
Still it was funny and she was a large part of that humor.
Over the years she engaged in other endeavors like The Mary Tyler Moore show and even had her own production company called MTM Productions.
Alas, she has left us for the great beyond and like so many of my childhood icons, the numbers of whom grow sparse as time progresses ...
I will miss her.
Rest in peace.
