I wasn't a huge fan of her movies but I liked the Lou Grant Show, which she was on, as well as the Mary Tyler Moore Show. She was good on both of these, but the supporting characters also helped.
This was the movie I remember her best for. I also liked the Lou Grant Show and the Mary Tyler Moore Show....but I also liked her as "Rob's wife" on The Dick Van Dike show too.

Yes, Dick is alive and very spry/energetic. He is 9a and still good-looking. I've seen him in guest spots on a few sitcoms (such as The Middle) with his brother Jerry.
I read that she was diagnosed a Diabetic I at 33. She has had continuing health problems and had a alcohol problem at one time. I wasn't much of a fan of her shows, but RIP Mary.
This is a favourite show for me as I'm a fan of Ed Asner and the wonderful Ted Baxter - great show and still watch it
