Mary Tyler Moore, the multiple Emmy-winning actress who first charmed TV viewers on “The Dick Van Dyke Show” in the 1960s and became a beloved TV icon who could “turn the world on with her smile” on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” in the 1970s, has died. She was 80. In a career that began as Happy Hotpoint, the dancing and singing 3-inch pixie in Hotpoint appliance commercials on “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” in 1955 when she was 18, Moore went on to star in television and films and on Broadway. In 1981, she received an Academy Award nomination for best actress for her portrayal of the emotionally cold mother in “Ordinary People,” the Robert Redford-directed drama about an upper-middle-class family dealing with the death of its eldest son in a boating accident with his brother. The unsympathetic, dark role was a departure for Moore, who remains best known for her light touch in two classic situation comedies that, together, earned her six Emmy Awards.
So sorry to hear this. Always liked her, and when was a kid, always watched Dick Van Dyke. May she rest in peace !!!

MTM's first job as "Happy Hotpoint - The Dancing Elf"
I had a huge crush on her going all the way back to when she played Laura Petrie on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" She was great as the News Producer (Mary Richards) on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" too. RIP Mary. Yeah, you and just about every guy in the US. Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907. I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Wow! 1952, huh? Nice find. I was only a year old when that came out, but I do rememeber the Ozzie and Harriet show from years later. Moore's first regular television role was as a mysterious and glamorous telephone receptionist on Richard Diamond, Private Detective. On the show, Moore's voice was heard, but only her shapely legs appeared on camera, adding to the character's mystique. RIP Mary.
Thanks Willie. I remember the Ozzie & Harriet show, watched it all the time, but do not remember that commercial.
