Mary Tyler Moore, beloved TV icon who symbolized the independent career woman, dies at 80

I started watching the Mary Tyler Moore show at some point in the 70s and continued with reruns well into adulthood. Her character did "symbolize the independent career woman" and always made me feel like I could do whatever I wanted to do, while making me laugh. And she introduced me to Betty White. RIP Mary.
And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes

    I just heard this. I grew up with her tv shows. This one, I really am sad about. She was one the great ones. She is greatly missed already.

    Grew up watching her show (and the spin-offs like Rhoda), and she fucking blew me away in Ordinary People.

    I always wanted an apartment like hers, all cozy with the elevated kitchen.

    RIP.

    Ordinary People is one of my favorite movies ever. I even wrote a paper on it in college and no one other than my professor had even heard of it. She was genius in it. RIP, MTM.

    Betty White was killer on the MTM show.
    Ordinary People is a brilliant movie but nobody seems to even remember it.

    Strange since it won best picture. Raging Bull was better but OP is a good movie in its own right. Great performances all around. RIP MTM.

    She really played against type in that movie and was incredible. Donald Sutherland and Judd Hirsch too.

    But back to Mary--I have that theme stuck in my head now: "Who can turn the world on with her smile . . ."

    She was so cold and mean in that movie that I had a hard time liking her in other things. Honestly I probably first watched it because I had a crush on Timothy Hutton when I was a kid but then I grew to love the movie for what it was. I caught it on one of the movie channels a while back. Still so good.

    It's like Fargo and a few other films for me - happen upon it, must watch it.

    (I had a crush not on Tim, but his father)

    I mentioned this to my co-worker, who is in her late 30s, right about my age, and she said she'd never heard of Mary Tyler Moore before. Wtf?
