Mary Tyler Moore has worn many hats during her long and celebrated career. But the hat she may be best remembered for is the iconic tam she tossed in the air during the opening sequence of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” in the 1970s. Her portrayal of the thirty-something, independent, career woman, Mary Richards, served as a role model to a generation of women and earned 29 Emmys for the show. On Sunday, Moore, 75, will be given a lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). “Receiving a lifetime achievement award from anybody who wants to single me out as deserving of it is a wonderful honor. It pleases me to know that it would make my Dad awfully happy, I know that,” she said in an interview with Reuters.
