Mary Tyler Moore brought a refreshing change to the American tv of the 1960s-70s. The character for which she is most well-known until today, Mary Richards of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, was a social phenomenon because of the progressive ideas she represented as a woman of her time. This month on Finding The Funny, Ezra Zaid speaks to Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, author of the book Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted, to learn about the life, career and influence of Mary Tyler Moore through the well-loved American sitcom.
