Mary Tyler Moore
If you are interested there is a good article on her life and career in the New York Times. See link below.
In the portion of the episode I am sharing you need to know that Mary Richards worked in a small TV newsroom in Minneapolis. One of the characters on their station was Chuckles the Clown. In this episode Chuckles dies and Mary is upset with the way her friends are making jokes about Chuckles. This scene is from the funeral. It's humor holds up today. I hope you enjoy and have a laugh.
