Mary Tyler Moore, TV Icon, Dies at 80

Television great Mary Tyler Moore, the beloved star of "The Dick Van
Dyke Show" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," died Wednesday
in Connecticut, her publicist confirmed. 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," read the statement from Mara Buxbaum, her longtime
rep. "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."

The vivacious brunette performer transformed the image of women on
television first as Van Dyke's sexy, vulnerable wife Laura Petrie and then
as single career girl Mary Richards in her own series. Her work in the two
series brought Moore five Emmy Awards, in 1965, 1966, 1973, 1974 and 1976.
She won another Emmy for 1993 TV special "Stolen Babies.
