Why Mary Tyler Moore Ended The Dick Van Dyke Show
Greg Ehrbar interviews author and TV historian Herbie J Pilato about his new book, Mary: The Mary Tyler Moore Story, an objective, cradle-to-grave biography about the iconic TV actress that not only explores the many physical, psychological, and professional challenges she faced throughout her career—including alcoholism, depression, and a long bout with diabetes—but sheds light into Moore’s relationship with her second husband, Grant Tinker, and particularly how that changed the face of The Dick Van Dyke Show and ultimately determined its future.
