An American icon – the life of Mary Tyler Moore

[post_page_title]Dancing her way to the start line[/post_page_title]

At the beginning of her career, and while only 17-years old, Moore decided that she wanted to try and pursue a career as a dancer. She managed to land a job on television, acting as a tiny elf that would dance on Hotpoint appliance commercials. She managed to record a staggering 39 of the ads in just five days, earning herself around $6,000! That’s pretty good going for a first job! Falling pregnant put an end to the career though as the costume couldn’t conceal her bump.
