NEW YORK: Mary Tyler Moore, the star of TV's beloved "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" whose comic realism helped revolutionize the depiction of women on the small screen, died Wednesday. In the 1970s, she created one of TV's first career-woman sitcom heroines in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Ellen DeGeneres echoed the sentiment of others on Twitter: "Mary Tyler Moore changed the world for all women." But it was as Mary Richards, the plucky Minneapolis TV news producer on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (1970-77), that Moore truly made her mark. She had won two for "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and the other four for "Mary Tyler Moore."
