“Being Mary Tyler Moore”

Like many of you, I grew up watching the Dick Van Dyke Show and the Mary Tyler Moore show.  Who could not love the irrepressible, self-deprecating, fun-loving Mary?  You will certainly still feel this way after watching the story of her life, but you will also learn how she broke gender barriers, overcame personal/family challenges and succumbed to addictive behavior.  The movie also gives you a perspective on how television comedy developed over the decades.  How fortunate that this film was made but how sad that she never got to see it.  Or would she want to see it?  We will never know.
