Mary Tyler Moore
The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show are the two sitcoms Mary Tyler Moore is best known for. But let’s be real, Moore is known as a cultural icon. She inspired so many young actresses, professional women, and feminists all thanks to her breaking the stereotypical images of women and pushing gender norms. Sadly this legend passed in January 2017 at age 80.
Loretta Swit
Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan! If, for whatever reason, you haven’t watched M*A*S*H, make sure you do so. That show is a classic. While Swit has continued acting, she doesn’t take on so many roles. The 80 year old has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
