Mary Tyler Moore Through the Years
Hollywood legend Mary Tyler Moore died Wednesday at the age of 80. Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1936, the star made her onscreen debut at age 17, playing a tiny elf dancing on a TV commercial for Hotpoint appliances that aired during Ozzie and Harriet. In 1961, Carl Reiner cast her on The Dick Van Dyke Show, which eventually led to The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which aired from 1970-1977. Throughout her career, she picked up six Emmy Awards, two Tonys, and an Oscar nomination. Look back on the beloved star's life through the years, ahead.
