She was 80 years old.For seven seasons, Moore starred onThe Mary Tyler Moore Show, as Mary Richards, a single working woman who became an inspiration for a generation of young girls that dared to have it all.Theres perhaps no better episode to demonstrate how The Mary Tyler Moore Showpushed the conversation about gender norms forward thanThe Boss Isnt Coming to Dinner from the series first season.In the episode, which first aired in 1971, Mary discovers her curmudgeonly boss,Lou Grant (Ed Asner), is separating from his wife, which naturally sends him into a tailspin of fragile masculinity.The scene below finds Mary and her male co-workers blowing off some steam at a bar as Grant laments another one of his wifes apparently outlandish choices: the pursuit of a higher education.Id like to propose a toast to mens lib. Lets hang on to what we got, Grant announces to the group.Hold, it. I cant drink to that. You invited me so you could hear a womens point of view, Moores character interjects.I have been sitting here like some kind of idiot acting like I agree with everything you said.But I dont agree with everything youve said. As a matter of fact, I dont agree with anything youve said, Mary adds, before Grant attempts to invalidate her point by saying shes on their side.Sides' Oh, Mr. Grant, that is just dumb.The Mary Tyler Moore Show tackled fragile masculinity in 1971. pic.twitter.com/9xqVak9iN5 Chris Hanna (@Chris_Hanna) January 25, 2017 Go off, Mary. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
