This week, the beloved and accomplished American actress Mary Tyler Moore passed at the age of 80. Her eponymous show, which ran from 1970 to 1977, delighted millions and broke new ground in pop culture, with its portrayal of a single woman succeeding in the workplace on her own terms. She went on to open doors for women on both sides of the camera. Mary’s face and the grace of her presence will be missed by many, even as The Mary Tyler Moore Show lives on in syndication.
Today’s post is a playful tribute to the inspiring “spunk”, sass and class her iconic character was was known for. As a child of the 70s, for me she was a cultural landmark, a woman who could “truly could turn the world on with her smile.” Who else can pull that off?
That’s right, Corgis. Say it with me. Corgis!
Hum along with me to the show’s “Love Is All Around” theme, as I present a Corgi Powered personal salute to one of America’s all-time favorite “career girls”.
Mary, you had us at hello!
