I really loved the lady!
My prayers go out to her family.  :(

TV icon Mary Tyler Moore died on Wednesday after being hospitalized in Connecticut, her rep confirmed to The Huffington Post. She was 80.

“Today, beloved icon, Mary Tyler Moore, passed away at the age of 80 in the company of friends and her loving husband of over 33 years, Dr. S. Robert Levine. A groundbreaking actress, producer, and passionate advocate for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Mary will be remembered as a fearless visionary who turned the world on with her smile,” her rep Mara Buxbaum told The Huffington Post in a statement.

Moore, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1936 and grew up in Los Angeles, rose to international fame starring on the 1960s sitcom “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” She later starred on the beloved 1970s sitcom “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” which is considered to be the first show with a never-married, working woman as its central character. Moore played single, 30-year-old TV news producer Mary Richards.

Same here.  A big loss.  Shep Smith just said that her production company, that she ran with her husband, was responsible for Hill Street Blues, among other big shows.  Trace Gallagher just restated that fact.

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

The Dick Van Dyke show reruns were shown like so many of the other classic early comedies when I was a kid. :(
