Mary Tyler Moore: The Story Behind Her Most ICONIC Roles

The Truth About Mary Tyler Moore (1936 - 2017) Mary Tyler Moore Life Story
Picture this: a brisk New York City morning, a determined young woman in a red beret throws her hat in the air, a triumphant grin splitting her face. That iconic image, forever etched in television history, is Mary Tyler Moore, a woman who defied expectations, broke barriers, and redefined what it meant to be a single, independent woman on television.

Award-winning actor Mary Tyler Moore became one of television’s most beloved wives, playing Laura Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 1960s; she won three acting Emmys for her work on the series. The Mary Tyler Moore Show—groundbreaking for Tyler’s starring role as a single, 30-something woman in the working world—started in 1970 and won her three more Emmys. Her roles in these classic TV sitcoms have made her one of the most popular actors in television history.

Mary Tyler Moore was born on December 29, 1936, in Brooklyn, New York, to George Tyler Moore, and Marjorie Hackett Moore. She was the eldest of three children and was raised in the Catholic faith. Her family moved from New York to Los Angeles when she was 8 years old, and she began acting and dancing while in high school.

She got her start in show business as a dancer in commercials, playing the part of Happy Hotpoint, a dancing elf to promote home appliances in the mid-1950s. Moore also found work as a chorus dancer in television variety shows and, in 1959, landed a role in the TV drama Richard Diamond, Private Detective, playing Sam, a glamorous secretary whose face was never shown but was represented by her shapely legs.

She made several guest appearances in television shows including Johnny Staccato, Bachelor Father, The Tab Hunter Show, 77 Sunset Strip, Surfside 6, Hawaiian Eye, and Lock-Up. She made her film debut in 1961 in X-15, an aviation drama starring David McLean and Charles Bronson.

Moore became a household name in 1961 when she landed the role of Laura Petrie, one of television’s most beloved wives on The Dick Van Dyke Show, created by Carl Reiner and starring Dick Van Dyke. As the charming Petrie, Moore showed off her flair for comedy and won Emmys in 1964 and 1966 for her work.
