One of the most iconic women in American entertainment has died. Mary Tyler Moore was especially important to the Womens Movement due to the strong independent characters she played on her MANY successful shows. After her TV career she continued to be an inspiration to millions as she stood tall and graceful for so many of her causes. Chief among them was Juvenile Diabetes, due to receiving the diagnosis at the age of 30.
Also, along with longtime friend and coworker, Betty White, Mary dedicated a huge part of her life to the ethical treatment of animals and to stop cruelty.
Mary will be greatly missed.

This is heartbreaking new. TMZ is reporting that my pseudo mother, Mary Tyler Moore, is in grave condition at an area hospital.
Sources close to the family tell us her condition is so grim family members are coming to the hospital to say goodbye. The TV icon’s long battled diabetes, and she underwent brain surgery in 2011.
We’re told Moore is suffering from a number of health problems and recently it has become critical.
Mary has always meant a great deal to me. This one will hit hard, but I wish her only peace and I guess now she’ll have it.
