...in the years between the Dick Van Dyke Show and her own show.

You are right - she was SMOKING hot in Dick Van Dyke.

I thought she looked good in the first year or 2 of TMT show. Then it seems like she tried to become plain Jane on purpose for some reason.

Must have been all those lucky strikes.

Dick van Dyke. What does that even mean?

I heard he contemplated changing his name to Penis Truck Lesbian to prevent him being cancelled. Of course, that could have been an Onion News story..

Or an MSNBC news report

[–] strntz (12353) 2 years ago

Redundant?

I mean, how can you tell the difference between a satire report or an MSNBC report?

Valid

No doubt she was a primo piece of tail ...wonder if any of the Rat Pack shagged it?

If Elvis was not successful, I doubt they were.

[–] Kingswood (1260) 2 years ago

Valid point, but they weren't above slipping the ole mickey when all else failed, so...

[–] MCguy (1154) 2 years ago

Valid point, also.

I don't agree with you. I thought she was still smoking hot in the '70's during the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Toward the end of its run (1975 or '76) she was in an episode in which she had to wear a green 'gown,' that was really a bikini. She looked absolutely fantastic in it, and she would have been 38-39 at the time. She did not always have the best hairdo during the MTM Show, but in that episode, her hair, face, and figure looked terrific.
