Television icon Mary Tyler Moore has died at age 80.

Mary rose to fame as Laura Petrie in 60s sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show. Her next show, the ground-breaking The Mary Tyler Moore Show, broke tradition to portray a single career woman in her 30s. It made her a role-model for women globally.

Mary produced The Mary Tyler Moore Show with her husband Grant Tinker after the couple founded MTM Enterprises. The success of the show allowed them to create new shows. Rhoda, Lou Grant and Phyllis (all spin-offs from The Mary Tyler Moore Show), The Bob Newhart Show, The Texas Wheelers, WKRP in Cincinnati, The White Shadow, Friends and Lovers, St. Elsewhere and Hill Street Blues, were all the work of MTM Enterprises.

Today Joan Jett tweeted about the importance of the work of Mark Tyler Moore.

Mary Tyler Moore died in Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich Connecticut.

One of her last television appearances was when The Mary Tyler Moore co-star Betty White “got the band back together” for an episode of Hot In Cleveland.
