Mary Tyler Moore Is Mourned by Dick Van Dyke and Other Stars.

'Mary Tyler Moore, whose iconic television roles reflected the changing place of women in 20th-century America, died on Wednesday, eliciting an outpouring of tributes on social media.

Dick Van Dyke, who played Ms. Moore’s husband in the 1960s sitcom “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” said on Twitter that Ms. Moore had changed his life for the better.
