But not until now have they been able to witness the poignant doubts and inner strength that drive this versatile and courageous actress. After All is the candid autobiography of the girl America fell in love with and the woman she has come to be. As Laura Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Tyler Moore displayed what would become her legendary talent for comedy. That series led to theater, films, and the comedy classic that bore her name on television. The series earned a record twenty-nine Emmy awards, led to numerous spinoffs, and set a new standard of excellence for television. Its heroine went on to memorable starring roles in Whose Life Is It Anyway? On Broadway and in the film Ordinary People. After All is the exhilarating and' moving story of this extraordinarily successful woman, a complex and creative star who has not arrived where she is today without much pain and reflection along the way. Moore relives the touchstones of her life with characteristic wit, resolve, and level-headed understanding, be-ginning with her Brooklyn-turned-Hollywood childhood and the influence of her anomalous parents. She tells of her long marriage to, and her divorce from, Grant Tinker, and of their creation of the hugely successful MTM Enterprises. She poignantly recalls the crushing loss of her son, Richard, and her own struggles with and triumphs over alcoholism and diabetes. Mary Tyler Moore also writes about where she is now; about the happiness she has found in her marriage to Dr. S. Robert Levine; and about her commitment to causes that give deeper meaning to her life, and the synergy between her career and those interests. Interwoven throughout are delightful and telling behind-the-scenes stories of her years as an actress and of the endearing relationships which have enriched her life. Offering a firsthand overview of the television industry in the last twenty-five years, and peppered with sharp anecdotes, the result is a remarkable narrative and a rare look at one of the most enduring and admired stars of our time." .
