I watched MTM on Nick @ Nite growing up. It was a fun show to watch. Kind of the "Friends" of that era. I have seen a few episodes of her black & white show with DVD. That show mostly focused on DVD. Plus I struggled with watching a woman act as tho she was completely fulfilled being a housewife.
@@CC-si3crSome women are completely fulfilled as a housewife. It's not wrong if a woman is happy in that role. Working wives (outside the home) and housewives are both wonderful ❤
The world is a less better place without Mary Tyler Moore in it. Before I started working in the entertainment industry, I worked at the Waldorf-Astoria where she had an apartment. I was just a young thing back then and I saved up to send her a lot of pink roses on the occasion of her Oscar nomination for Ordinary People. A lot of pink roses. I came into work the next day, she'd left me a little letter. I still have it today. I cherish that letter and the memories I have of her at the Waldorf. She was our favorite guest. She was everything you hoped she'd be in real life and much more. She was gracious. She was kind and she was a woman of magnitude.
A young boy growing up in the 60’s and 70’s . I loved Mary Tyler Moore. I get emotional thinking about her. What an amazing woman she was. I can’t wait to see this documentary.
A great, great lady. Grew up watching her as Mary Richards. We saw another side of her in Ordinary People. I'm so glad we get to learn more about her in this documentary.
She was amazing. I loved her on MTM. Her performance in Ordinary People was the most powerful for me. Her performance helped me understand my own mother, who had lost a teenage son while I was a small child. The stoicism and desperate need to keep up appearances, or risk everything coming undone. Coming across as coldly indifferent. I got it.
@@DarthSideous63 - he died three weeks after the movie was released in theaters, not during the production. She wouldn't have rejected the Oscar fi she won. If she was planning to do that, she probably wouldn't have even gone to the ceremony. She was there. I think it would've been beyond difficult for her though.
All brilliant actors in Ordinary People, however, if Mary Tyler Moore hadn’t played the role of Beth Jarret Ordinary People wouldn’t have been so critically acclaimed. Mary Tyler Moore carried the film. The audience was shocked as were critics. Keep in mind, MTM never sold her soul to the “institution” which is why she didn’t receive it. No political favors from Mary which took the award from her. As always, though, she left with her integrity intact.
To have either one of her iconic roles would be a boon for any performer. That she created two such likable, funny, flawed (for the times) roles is a testament to her talent and the changing landscape of television and society from the 60s to the 70s. I always loved Mary.
For my money, the true Queen of television along with Carol Burnett. Mary gave us The Bob Newhart show, Rhoda, Phyllis, WKRP in Cincinatti, Cheers, Lou Grant and Taxi. She went from married sidekick Laura Petri to single star of the show and television game changer Mary Richards. Comedy, drama and an Oscar nominee. God bless you Mary. I love you. ❤❤❤❤❤
I had the pleasure of working with Miss Moore in 1965 when I was 19 years old. It was on a "Danny Thomas Special." I was the winner of a teen talent contest sponsored by Danny Thomas and KFWB RADIO in Los Angeles. She was so nice to me during the rehearsals for the show asking what my goals were and what I wanted to do. She was about 28 at that time, and I had a huge crush on her and thought she was so talented. About 4 or 5 years later, I ran into her while she was filming outside scenes of her new show, "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," at the Century City Mall. She recognized me and called me over to talk with her. She asked how I was and how my career was going. I couldn't believe how sweet she was. I will always have a special place in my heart for her. She really did turn on the world with her smile. My name is Guy Apollo .
This documentary is going to be a must see for me this weekend! I loved Mary Tyler Moore. I should say I love Mary Tyler Moore, because her talent, style, and grace will never come around again.
A great film with many outstanding performances, none better than Mary's. Cast against type, director Robert Redford challenged her, and she found the perfect tone within.
@@jkryanspark I’ve always been impacted by her coldness as a mother in that film. I didn’t understand how a mother could be so icy to a child with such trauma. Mary was beyond genuine and realistic in that role. Unforgettable!
@@gorey4more837 Beth was more materialistic than maternal. This type of theme was oft repeated in filmmaking during the latter half of the 20th century. The Graduate, Ordinary People, The Ice Storm, and American Beauty come to mind as movies that deal with upper middle class angst and the battle between financial success and emotional well being. Mary could have played Mrs. Robinson. After all, she had the legs. lol
I recently saw the movie at the Sarasota Film Festival in March and I absolutely loved it. I was lucky and fortunate enough to meet the director of the film. I can’t wait to see this movie again.
I've been rather blue in recent months and what has cheered me up is the Mary Tyler Moore show. Part of me longs just to crawl into the television set to be with all of them. I even thought of moving to Minneapolis to feel closer to them which is crazy because it was all filmed here in LA near where I live. My late brother - who took his life - and I had it extremely difficult growing up in a very abusive environment and the one thing we really lived for was the MTM show. I hope I meet her in heaven one day to thank her for making two little boys laugh in hard times.
Just watched this loving documentary, and while Mary is THE Star, what gives this film weight is Rona Barrett, and the questions she asked Mary, filled with such thought provoking depth, I was spellbound waiting for Mary’s responses. Rona was no catty slouch. Also, was a kick to see David Susskind, in all his annoying, intellectual splendor. Mary could sure hold her own, and she always expressed herself beautifully. 😻
Mary Tyler Moore was absolutely amazing. From watching this trailer I feel like this will be very emotional growing up watching her and adoring her acting and personality.
Finally, a Mary Tyler Moore documentary worth watching! I really enjoyed the Mary Tyler Moore show when it aired on CBS during 1971 and 1977, because it really wasn't like any other TV show I saw where the main character was a woman. I guess you can say that Mary Tyler Moore finally made it after all!
In the months leading up to the filming of that film, I was a young front office supervisor at the Waldorf, where she had an apartment. I remember the first time she came up to the desk. Her beauty and her aura just took your breath away. I'm not sure I could say I was tongue-tied, it was more than that. I was speechless.
Whaat Carl Reiner saw in MTM shows he was an entertainment genius. I was in my early 20s during the height of MTM TV. It seemed so fresh and innovative and real compared to my prior years watching Green Acres, Gilligan's Island, Bewitched or other shows from that era. Don't get me wrong I still adore those shows but this was something new and vibrant. Earlier I think TV execs sensed Americas were bored with those cliches and tried The Munsters and The Addams Family or Star Trek and Mission Impossible but they really struck a chord with MTM. Let's not forget All In The Family which really shook it up.
I do think that Green Acres was a cut above those other sitcoms you mentioned. Every time I see James Cromwell I see Stretch Cunningham and think of the Archie's shock when Stretch passed and then Archie learned that Stretch was Jewish. Cromwell is great when he shows up on Succession. The history of TV and Film would be signficantly dimnished if the contributions of Norman Lear, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner were removed .
@@robertriteman3227 I enjoyed Schitt's Creek and was glad to see all those Emmy awards but couldn't help thinking it was kind of Green Acres 2.0, modern situations and story lines but built on the same premise, wealthy family moves to Nowheresville, down to all the quirky townies, flustered husband and coping spouse. Was Stevie a Hank Kimball, or was Roland Schitt a Mr. Haney, or Twyla Sands actually Ed Dawson? Or all just composites of those great characters? And Archie gave such a touching though funny eulogy.
Yes! I wanted to be Mary Richards. I wanted to have my own apartment like her. And I ended up being a journalist. Interestingly, so many of my female journalists had her as their role model.
OMG yes. The brilliant, talented, passionate, powerful Mary Tyler Moore. I'll buy HBO just to see this doc. I still miss her. She faced adversity privately, intensely, and with great strength. I love her, still.
It's not normal, nor healthy to have affection for strangers just because of their celebrity, but for Mary I make an exception. Her passing truly saddened me, and I will never forget her. RIP
I remember being at a David Letterman show filming in the 90s and finding out Mary was a guest that night. I was so happy! She was an idol of mine. In truth I was more like Rhoda. lol But that's good cause I'd be Mary's friend. 😁
The interviewer calling housewives “wretched nags” is funny because modern men today love to idealize 1950’s women. 😂 It’s interesting to hear a man in that generation calling the image unrealistic.
I did watch BMTM this past Friday. While it is not fantastic , it is very much worth watching . I likely would have held it in greater esteem if I was not already aware of the culural impact of both Laura Petrie and Mary Richards on society as well as her own personal history .
As a kid in high school (and beyond) when the show was on, I wasn't aware of the "feminist" implications. All I knew was that it was, from all angles, a really great show.
You can imagne that she and Betty White must have had many discussions about animaals and the need to care for them. It says all you need to know about American politics that Biden loves dogs and Trump loves himself
@@robertriteman3227 Re Biden/Trump, I agree, Robert. Still, I think Biden would benefit from a sit-down with Mary and Betty re our relationship and responsibility to animals - if only.
I loved mtm show and the Saturday night lineup. But for all the gushy admiration of the independent feminist woman, the true feminist of Saturday night tv was Suzanne Pleshette on Bob Newhart. Emily was a full person of integrity and intelligence. Her marital status would never define her. She didn't have to prove anything to Betty Friedan. That character was more role model than Mary Richards or MTM's sad life of proving over and over things Suzanne Pleshette comfortably embodied.

I'm right there with you. I had such a huge crush on her as a kid, I thought she was perfect in every way,
Me too. She and her shows stand out of all the ones I grew up watching.
She's a lot of the reason why I grew up as & remain a feminist.
Same for me. I was fascinated with her as a young boy, and that feeling never left. She had a remarkable ability to connect with an audience.
A great, great lady. Grew up watching her as Mary Richards. We saw another side of her in Ordinary People. I'm so glad we get to learn more about her in this documentary.

She should have won the Oscar for her role in Ordinary People. She was brilliant in that.
I completely agree with you.
I agree though I believe Mary would reject it cause her son died during the production.

This looks fantastic ✨🫶🏻✨ Mary’s been on my heart & mind heavily for the last couple months. ALWAYS A GEM! Can’t wait! THANK YOU HBO ❤
Me too. Been thinking about her alot lately for some reason. Then this today. Makes me happy. And my other girl Donna Summer. God bless the 70s!!

@@harrisonreiner5398 I had coffee with her

thinking of signing up for HBO just for this program

Mary was a transitional woman of the 70's. Women was no longer relocated as housewives and subservient to men.
Through the eyes of an an young girl in the early 1970s, she was such a role model of a strong, independent female.

The GOAT. I'll be there for this one.
can’t wait to watch this gonna be a great watch
She will alway be the greatest to me! I Love and Miss you MTM🐈the world really needs more people like you sweet Mary‼️❤
Watched this special yesterday. It was really good. I just loved MTM SO much!

I wanted to be Mary Richards.
Mary Tyler Moore was so beautiful.
What a great actress.
Just Between friends
Ordinary People
Two of my favorites
Looking forward to learning more about my favourite actress.
I wish we had access to HBO - I'd love to see this.
Maybe you can see it some other way. its fantastic!! Maybe you could do a temporary subscription?
Oprah has always credited Mary Tyler Moore for being her inspiration as a successful, single, career woman.
Had a major crush on Mary in my youth. Still do!
This documentary, one about Tina Turner, and one about Donna Summer. Thanks!
Mary was very fortunate to have great co-stars: between DVD and MTM she had the best
I Hope They Make More Documentaries On Icons Past,Amen🤓🙏💜👏
Her performance in Ordinary People should have won her the Oscar
There will never be another Mary 😢
Loved watching her when I was kid
HBO always serves great documentaries!
Iconic!! Trailblazer!!🙏🏆🪙🕎🇮🇱🇮🇱
Mary's best performance on The Mary Tyler Moore Show has got to be The Death of Chuckles the Clown episode.
LOVED LOVE FOREVER LOVE MARY
She was brilliant
Okay who else had the MTM theme pop into their head when they saw the thumbnail?
Rhoda had her show where the voice of Marge Simpson played her sister Brenda
Ordinary People! amazing actress!

Along with Carol Burnett.

Can’t wait!
Apart from the TV shows, I remember her in Thoroughly Modern Millie with Julie Andrews.
The treatment of animals was a great concern for Mary Tyler Moore. She supported animal rights and devoted time to the cause.

A man telling her what he thought what her character was…how aggravating. We don’t care, guys. Feminist icon!
That looks great.
From what I've read irl she was more like Beth Jarrett than Mary Richards.
I’ve always thought Mandy Moore should play her in a biopic
I was always in love with her.
Sky in the UK had better have purchased this
My childhood crush
I wish my mother would see this!! If only Dish Network wouldn't yank HBO out of the premium movie packages!! 😡😠😡😠

Show
I loved mtm show and the Saturday night lineup. But for all the gushy admiration of the independent feminist woman, the true feminist of Saturday night tv was Suzanne Pleshette on Bob Newhart. Emily was a full person of integrity and intelligence. Her marital status would never define her. She didn't have to prove anything to Betty Friedan. That character was more role model than Mary Richards or MTM's sad life of proving over and over things Suzanne Pleshette comfortably embodied.
Jessica Biel vibes
She wasn't the modern, angry, joyless, man-hating feminist IF she was a feminist.
Wow I am a 67 year old straight white male and even I am offended by the way your categorize feminists
@@robertriteman3227 A MAN speaking for WOMEN? PIG!
MTM show hired the most women, but they were sure talented and funny, now a days they just hire on no talent just pure Quotas.
