Sean 6,168 Posted January 20, 2016 :Was researching MTM in light of a National enquirer article suggesting all the Mary Tyler Moore stars are in their wait for it..."sad last days".Anyway I found this clip from Dick Van Dyke in October where he says "She really isn`t even communicating now..I don`t know how bad that is "Pretty bad I would say Dick!.Apparently they also had an affair according to this video which I did not know.

I wouldn't be surprised if everyone except Engel were dead by 2026. "Sad Last Days" obviously an exaggeration. I would say that seems fairly likely they all don`t seem they will last 10 years .What I find telling about this snippet above is Dick`s body language .He clearly was holding back from saying more.I see no reason why he would lie and if he did her camp surely would have denied this publicly to avoid further speculation about her "sad last days".Also Larry King is known to have pretty good knowledge of what is going on with people in showbiz and he wouldn`t have asked Dick the question if he didn`t already have it on good authority that she was in a bad way.Betty White also a couple of years ago said how bad she was and even Valerie Harper who is the most rose tinted person out there arguably conceded about a year ago that she was pretty much blind but the media were exaggerating how ill she was.She said she was "ok" overall but in the greatest of respect given her own issues "ok" probably means alive. With regards to whether "the sad last days" headlines are accurate who knows but the fact she no longer appears in public and even her friends are conceding she is in terrible shape with Dick even mentioning her as "non-communicative" leads me to think that the Alzheimers claims may be spot on.

Yes, it's definitely true. I just hate how many people deny this and claim she's a bad pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,162 Posted January 25, 2017 I got to say, keeping Mary Tyler Moore was a brilliant decision this time. I would've dropped her, but I feel she was kept in as the forum favorite. Anyway, I'm guessing tomorrow, when Abe Vigoda died last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
