Mary Tyler Moore in a rare interview!

[@trevorgwelch7412]

I met Mary Tyler in 1984 on the set of a movie inToronto . I Admire her very much always will . I was 24 , she asked who I was . I was an extra . ( Heartsounds)

[@danielasuncion9991]

What was the film? Did you see yourself in a scene? Very rarely have I seen myself. But, it was fun, and I got paid!

[@36Kourtney]

She inspired me to get a job in television news at WJTV 12 just like she worked at WJM 12.

[@frankcheers7529]

With James Garner. That's a good one.

[@dyates6380]

MUCH respect to this woman. She was a gift to us. RIP Mary.

[@michaelapplebaum6240]

I am a journalist and rarely, and I mean rarely, compliment the interviewer. But this is a case where the interviewer not only let the interviewee shine, she shines herself, equally, without taking anything away from the interview (but in fact, only adding to it, steadily, professionally, empathetically). Wonderful, wonderful job Eileen.

[@eileenprose8472]

Such a lovely compliment and one that I will always remember. Thank you for taking your time to make my day!

[@joaniemarie9468]

This interview popped up on my YT feed this morning because we were watching some of MTM videos last night. Very much agree with what you said about the interviewee and the interviewer. It was more of a corroboration of 2 intelligent women. Eileen Prose did one of the best interviews with MTM I've seen to date.

[@peterrice7739]

This has got to be the most awesome interview ever made with the mighty Mary Tyler Moore. Listen to what the late, great superstar of television and movies has to say as she reflects on her life and career. It is one of the most moving celebrity interviews I have ever seen or heard anywhere. Miss Moore has a long and impressive list of accomplishments behind her. She was one of the most powerful, most inspiring and influential female celebrities of the late twentieth century. Rest in peace, Mary Tyler Moore. We will all miss you, but we will never, ever forget you.

[@cynthialyman2636]

I loved her. Her seminal series, the MTM show, ran during the years from when l was ten to seventeen, and she was a huge role model for me and likely gals of ALL ages. RIP, dear Mare.

I know she was to me. Seemed we all wanted to be like Mary.

Eileen, How kind and generous are you to share this very warm interview with the great Mary Tyler Moore. You did such an excellent job and I can see how comfortable she was with you. I hope you are happy and well and thank you for your contribution to television history by sharing this touching interview.

[@trevorgwelch7412]

I met Mary Tyler on a movie set in 1984 ( Toronto ) during a break she asked someone who I am !!!! I've always admired her as a person , I am 18 years younger then Mary Tyler Moore . Thank you for an excellent interview . Cheers . 🌹🏆

[@jedijones]

The interviewer did a masterful job segueing around to lots of varied and important questions.

Eileen you are among the BEST....you did amazing in this interview with the spectacular Mary, so beloved Mary.

Mary Tyler Moore -- such a gracious, beautiful and intelligent lady.

[@stockholm1752]

I can't believe she is gone. Such a wonderful talent. Great interview. Thanks.

[@merrieshields8551]

One of the best actresses of all time IMO. "Ordinary People" Nailed it for me.

[@FFOGHORN]

She was absolutely incandescent. Talk about the x-factor. She obviously liked and trusted you; in other interviews, she often seemed more guarded.

[@lynnemiller3633]

Great interview. Just a respectful exchange between two people enjoying their time together. Lovely.

[@dionmorgan5299]

I still recognize her simple innocence, beauty is inner so graceful.

[@bruce92106]

If only all Hollywood celebrities behaved and acted as MTM she was a special gift to all of us and I don’t know about you, but I miss her dearly. May she rest in peace. Very nice video Ms Prose but could you please put the date this was? Thank you very much.

[@CDU916]

I was moved to tears and laughter while watching this fabulous interview. I have always been a MTM fan but this reveals more of the lady, less of the actress, although they intersect in very charming ways Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@PhoebeFayRuthLouise]

Thank you for posting this wonderful interview! Rest In Peace, Mary.

[@jaygatz4335]

Mary sure learned from life's challenges. She was articulate and wise, and exuded so much warmth in this interview. I had the pleasure of seeing her in Sweet Sue, and in running into her in an elevator, where I thanked her for the years of pleasure she brought. A highlight of my life!

[@lunagoodhart5489]

Definitely without a doubt the best interview I've seen especially of Mary Tyler Moore. The emotion the interviewer shows is real & touching. I got to see parts of Mary that I hadn't come across before.

[@kirkwarner6436]

Really eloquent lady, a class act

[@lenwelch2195]

So articulate , so intelligent still seemed like a shock that she passed even though severely diabetic and living to 80 . Laura Petrie and Mary Richards will forever be us , especially in my generation being 57 watching reruns of Dick Van Dyke show then at 8 - 15 watching the MTM show . Then all grown up at 18 watching her in ordinary People in 1980 I then knew what I had suspected all Along - she was a great actress . That range from light comedy to playing a woman so intent against opening up that she alienated her own son and eventually her husband . Huttons character Conrad was the bird in the coal mines - sensitive to the lack of air to breathe safely knowing he is lived during a tragic event . Her silence and withdrawn behavior made it seem like she felt it was his fault or at the most damaging that she wished the older brother had lived instead of him . For Mary to play that role convincingly made me see her abilities in a new light . This conversation shows all of her wit , alarmingly quick vast verbal descriptions characterizing a particular feeling leaving no room for misinterpretation shows me that She was better than her material while acting . Acting was a way fir her to receive attention but she won over our hearts . She was brave to fight till the end but lucky to have found true love in her mate

[@eileenprose8472]

Thank you Bob. Mary did not like being interviewed but gave me such a gift. After the live show, she gave me another hour on my radio program. She was the nicest, most down to earth woman. Her enormous talent and success never went to her head. I often found that the biggest stars were the nicest people. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you will enjoy the rest of my channel. Blessings to you…. Eileen

Wow, you are fantastic in this; great work with such a lovely legend. Thank you

I know I'm a little late to the party, but you are such a fantastic interviewer! She obviously felt very at ease and enjoyed the questions AND you! This is absolutely one of the very best interviews I've seen. You are so blessed to be able to do this! What a great memory to have!

[@CusterFlux]

Nicely done with the interview, professional as hell, yet very compassionate and personal - I'd say, given the time constraints, that was the right mix, especially with MTM - and to my eye at least, she was impressed.

@@eileenprose8472 Yes I enjoyed the interview immensely. I was a teenager in the early eighties and young adult in the late 80s. I remember the 80s fondly. It was a great time as was the 90s before the internet and social media took over and made everyone crazy.

18 year age difference with her husband

[@Mr.SLovesTheSacredHeartofJesus]

Odd that she mentions that she had the honor of meeting his Holiness John Paul 2 {now saint John Paul}. Yet refers to him as a good man? No Mary, he was our Catholic Pope. And she never ever mentions/admits her own Catholicism etc. That's profoundly sad in many ways.
