Celebrating her 75th birthday on December 29, Mary Tyler Moore looks as slim and radiant as when she starred as Mary Richards in the MTM show. And yet, she's battled diabetes, personal tragedy, and challenges ranging from alcoholism to surgery.
After all, she'd already captured America's hearts in another beloved show when she played Laura Petrie, New Rochelle's "hostess with the mostess" on "The Dick Van Dyke Show." There's something magical about this scene, in which she dances in her famed capri pants. What, your parents' parties didn't involve conga drums and elaborately choreographed dances in the living room? Ours either, but this show made us wish they did.
Mary Tyler Moore also is known for her extraordinary charity work. As the International Chairman of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, she has used her star power to raise awareness about the issue and share with millions of people how they can help.
Mary Tyler Moore definitely isn’t your typical actress. She is a legend, a very cool entertainer and when you meet her in person one would never know how famous she is because she is so kind to everyone.
Mary Tyler Moore turns 75 today, but to millions of Americans, she's still 32, forever driving from her small hometown to Minnesota's Twin Cities on a sunny freeway in 1970.
