Mary Tyler Moore
During the 1970s, Mary Tyler Moore was a household name. She was among the first women on television to flaunt her strength, wit, knowledge, and single status proudly. It was groundbreaking for her to act out this part on her own program, which helped to shatter the conservative image many Americans had of females.
Mary Tyler was a type-1 diabetic who later had a brain tumor. She was photographed at LAX airport in April 2013, when she was battling with her health. She died at the age of 80 years old as a result of cardiac arrest.
