Did you recognize the smile that wasn’t mine behind my 😷 smile? Of course! It’s Mary Tyler Moore aka Mary Richards of the Mary Tyler Moore show. 😁
While in Minneapolis I had to drop by to strike a pose with the TV tourist favorite!
I remember watching the series with my family. What lovely memories…
From Wikipedia: Mary Richards is a thirty-something single woman who settles in Minneapolis after breaking up with a boyfriend. She lands a job as an associate producer of the evening news at WJM-TV, which happens to be the area’s lowest-rated station. Her boss, Lou Grant, hates her spunk but often looks to her to solve newsroom (or even personal) problems. Mary’s other coworkers include news writer Murray Slaughter, egomaniacal anchorman Ted Baxter and “Happy Homemaker” Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White). Mary’s home is a modest studio apartment – and her upstairs neighbor, Rhoda Morgenstern, quickly becomes a good friend. Later in the series, Mary moves to a plush high-rise apartment before leaving Minneapolis and WJM for good.
In 2013, the Writers Guild of American the ranked The Mary Tyler Moore Show No. 6 on its list of the “101 Best Written TV Series of All Time”.
