Being Mary Tyler Moore

SHE WORE PANTS and flats as Laura Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show when other 1960s television housewives were in dresses and heels. In the ’70s, she starred as The Mary Tyler Moore Show’s happily single Mary Richards, whose family consisted of her friends and her TV station coworkers.
