Moore was best known for her role as Laura Petrie on television’s “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” as well as her starring role as Mary Richards on the CBS sitcom “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” That show earned her 4 Emmy Awards out of the 7 she won over her lifetime and made her a role model for female sitcom stars who followed her.
A veritable Who’s Who of Hollywood took to social media over the past several days to pay tribute to the beloved actress.

Yes indeed. Mary Tyler Moore was certainly a "legitimate icon" and I was saddened to hear of her passing.
She was a part of my childhood thru my mother who admired Mary and absolutely loved the "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."
Btw- I did not know about the tragic death of her son until I watched the video. Sad.
May she, and her son, Rest in Peace..
