LOSING VALERIE “RHODA” HARPER WILL NOT BE EASY
Filed Under: Mary Tyler Moore > Rhoda > Valerie Harper
So sad to hear about Valerie Harper’s brain cancer. Back in the 1970’s she and Mary Tyler More were the independent young career women on TV that single girls looked up to. Valerie was such a hit on the Mary Tyler Moore show playing her outspoken best friend Rhoda, that she got a spin-off show of her own. Valerie’s Rhoda lived in New York where her sister played by Julie Kavner lived, and her parents also. Rhoda was a window decorator looking for love and many young women identified with her. Eventually she met the right guy and married him and the TV wedding was a huge deal – the biggest event of the year. We happened to be in New York that night and the streets were literally empty – the women were all home tearfully watching Rhoda. Valerie herself is just as down to earth and fun as Rhoda was.

Mary Tyler Moore has been promoting her new book “Growing Up Again” and discussing the severe damage that diabetes has done to her eyesight. She did however, have an affectionate lunch at Nello’s the other day with her doctor husband Robert Levine. Mary admitted that she isn’t able to drive any more, but it doesn’t look like she’ll have any trouble getting a ride.

Mary Tyler Moore is playing Brooke Shields’ mother in an episode of “Lipstick Jungle” now filming in New York. Mary looks surprisingly good – especially since The Enquirer claims she’s losing her sight. Sorry, but “Lipstick Jungle” will never fill the gap left by “Sex & the City.”
