In 1999, a then-62-year-old Mary Tyler Moore visited Ottawa to share her life story on stage and visit Parliament Hill to advocate for diabetes research. CBC News dug through the archives to share video and audio of the Moore's time in the capital. "I wanted to be a star," Moore told the crowd. While in Ottawa, Moore also met with the federal health minister at the time, Allan Rock, about a cause close to her heart — diabetes. "We are determined to find a cure for diabetes," she told media after the meeting.
