dirac Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Sad news indeed, Cygnet. The NYT obit describes how groundbreaking her show was in its time. Quote The executives’ only reservation concerned the subject of divorce, which was still forbidden on network television. Some even feared that viewers would assume that Laura Petrie, from “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” had divorced Rob, which was unthinkable. A solution was reached: Ms. Moore’s character would be newly single but not divorced, having recently broken up with a fiancé. Moore was a dancer and Toni Bentley describes in Winter Season an occasion when Moore took class and did respectably for a civilian. Link to comment
