Overview

Mary: The Mary Tyler Moore Story is the first, full-length, objective biography of Moore's entire life and career, from her birth in 1936 until the day she left this world on January 25, 2017. No previously published biography or book about Moore dares to discuss as honestly and as thoroughly her personal and professional life, exploring her triumphs as well as her struggles before, during, and after the countless TV productions, feature films, stage plays, and personal appearances that spanned her career. In covering the gamut of Moore's personal and professional life, this book features all-new commentary culled from exclusive interviews with many of her costars over the years, including Ed Asner, Gavin MacLeod, and Joyce Bulifant (from the Mary Tyler Moore Show); Larry Matthews (little Ritchie Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show); Carol Channing (Moore's costar from the 1967 feature film, Thoroughly Modern Millie), and many others. Mary delivers pertinent insights and unique behind-the-scenes perspectives and recollections of the multi-talented performer/humanitarian that Mary Tyler Moore was and will always remain in the eyes of millions of her fans the world over.
