Actress Mary Tyler Moore has died, age 80.
She starred in two top-rated television shows in the 1960s and 1970s, helping to define a new version of the American woman.
She was the woman full of gumption, Mary Richards, on the CBS hit sitcom 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' which was broadcast from 1970 to 1977, produced by Mary and her second husband, Grant Tinker, who later ran NBC and who recently died, on November 28.
She represented the busy, working unwed 30-something woman, making her own way in the world.
Mary died in Greenwich, Connecticut, and her family said her death, at Greenwich Hospital, was caused by cardiopulmonary arrest after she had contracted pneumonia.
