We lost another icon, the legendary comedian Mary Tyler Moore passed away at a Hospital in Greenwich CT, today, she was just 80 yrs old. Mary was placed on a ventilator last week, which tends to make me believe that she may have died from pneumonia. No cause of death was given. Mary was a long time Type 1 diabetic, which kind of baffles me too, because she was diagnosed at age 33 with Type 1 diabetes, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes at age 33, hmm, go figure. Anyway, Mary became famous first by starring along side Dick Van Dyke on the Dick Van Dyke Show way back in the 1970s as his wife Laura Petrie. She then became even more famous as the News Producer on the Mary Tyler Moore Show in the 1980s. This was one of the first TV shows where a single woman had a career and her own apt. She won 7 Emmys for those 2 roles. But she was nominated for an Oscar for her performance as the grieving mother who lost her only child in Ordinary People. Mary is survived by her husband Dr. Robert Levine whom she married way back in 1983. Rest in Peace Mary.
