MARY TYLER MOORE
Name: Mary Tyler Moore
Born: 29 December 1936 Brooklyn, New York
Mary Tyler Moore (born December 29, 1936) is an Academy Award-nominated and
seven-time Emmy Award winning American actress and comedian, primarily known for
her roles in sitcoms and television.
Moore is arguably best known for The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–1977), in which
she starred as Mary Richards, a 30-something single woman who worked as a news
producer at WJM-TV in Minneapolis, and for her early role as Laura Petrie, wife
of television comedy writer Rob Petrie (played by Dick Van Dyke) on The Dick Van
Dyke Show (1961–1966). Moore played leading roles in two of the most fondly
remembered classic comedy series, making a tremendous impact on television over

nomination for a role that was the polar opposite of the characters viewers had
become accustomed to seeing her portray on television. She has also been active
in charity work and various political causes, particularly diabetes and animal
rights.
