Tyler Moore that is.
A great actress. Started on the Dick Van Dyke show, so good they had to make her, her own show.

Some very nice tributes on all the TV news programs tonight. She had a lot of trouble shoved her way, but came thru smiling. Goodbye, dear Mary.Pat D. https://forum.casebook.org/core/imag...rt/reading.gif

Well she could turn the world on with a smile....
Back in the 1960s Moore was one of a set of television actresses who were prettier or sexier than most. Her interesting sexy role was as "Laura Petrie" in The Dick Van Dyke Show. The others were Elizabeth Montgomery as "Samantha Stevens" on Bewitched, Carolyn Jones (yeah as the slinky "Morticia" on The Addams Family), Julie Newmar as "Catwoman" on Batman, Diana Rigg as "Emma Peel" on "The Avengers", and Marlo Thomas as "Anne Marie" on That Girl. Quite a group. A little later Golde Hawn (on "Laugh-In") joined them.
She will be sorely missed. She was a talented actress.

You forgot Barbara Eden (I never forgot her!!!)Originally posted by Mayerling View Post
But Laura Petrie seemed the most "real" and attainable of them...a very beautiful woman, smart, funny and hip.. when TV parents were not so hip, here was a housewife and mother in capri slacks....funny to think that was SHOCKING at the time.. but it was.....she really did change the face of the TV mom
She was a talented and well loved and respected woman... and will be missed...
RIP Mary

You're right Steadmund, I did forget Miss Eden. Actually (except for Goldie Hawn) I've never been attracted to the blonds of that era. And Mary's/ "Laura's" capri slacks were quite an awakening to me.Originally posted by Steadmund Brand View Post
Thinking about it, had this been about the 1970s instead of the 1960s, I might have added Suzanne Pleshette from "The Bob Newhart Show", but her voice was the turn-on there for me.

Her big achievement was to break the "sexy" mould. She was the first to show women as people. She managed to raise serious issues in a palatable way to the masses.dustymiller

Because I can't get this song out of my head after seeing the last scene of the final episode of the MTM show:

It's a long way to go,
