Date Sold 6/19/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Autographed 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Television Still (Learn More) Mary Tyler Moore was an actress from the 1950s until her passing in 2017. She got her start in 1957 as the answering service girl in TV's "Richard Diamond, Private Detective", even though only her sexy legs were shown! While best remembered from TV's "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (as Laura Petrie) and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (as Mary Richards), she also starred in several movies including: Ordinary People (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Flirting with Disaster, and Thoroughly Modern Millie AND Dick Van Dyke was born in tiny West Plains, Missouri in 1925 (his parents were just passing through). West Plains is also where Bruce Hershenson has lived the past 23 years! He started as a stand-up comic, and he briefly had a popular act where he would do silly lip-syching to popular songs (with wacky props). When he found success, he passed that act on to his younger less successful brother Jerry, who stuck with those routines for decades. He won a Tony Award for his stage role in Bye, Bye Birdie in 1960, and was chosen the next year to star in The Dick Van Dyke show, surely one of the best TV series of all time. While the show was on the air, he found time to recreate his part from Bye, Bye Birdie in the movie version of that part, and to co-star in What a Way to Go, The Art of Love, and in Mary Poppins, where he fully held his own opposite Julie Andrews. It seemed there was nothing this superbly talented actor could not do, but he was a major alcoholic, and that illness and his subsequent quitting drinking would greatly drag on his output for many years. He 'retired' many times, but always returned to either movies or TV. In 1993 this ultra-likeable actor returned to TV as Dr. Mark Sloan in Diagnosis Murder, which was basically Matlock but in the world of medicine. He is still making a few movie and TV appearances! Important Added Info: Note that this TV still has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Mary Tyler Moore AND Dick Van Dyke! Also note that this TV still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Finally, note that this still was printed on Kodak paper, but we believe it to surely be an original still. Sometimes, studios would print TV stills on Kodak stock because they didn't need as many. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia collector and dealer from the 1970s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items. Both we and our consignor feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity (unless noted above). Condition: very good. There is a pair of staple holes in each of three corners and a pinhole in the fourth one. There is light staining on the back of the left and right borders where the still was attached to a mat, but it only very slightly affects the front of the blank borders (see our image).
