Hat-throwing Mary Tyler Moore statue planned


Tourism News

A pop culture moment important to millions of older teevee-watching Americans will be immortalized in bronze in the streets of Minneapolis, MN. Mary Richards, the perky wraith-star of the 70s sitcom, the "Mary Tyler Moore Show," threw her hat in the opening credits montage between Seventh and Eighth streets. In the fall, the city and cable channel TV Land will dedicate a life-size statue recreating the toss at that same spot at the Nicollet Mall. Minneapolis officials anticipate a flurry of visitor hat tossing to complete the precious photo opportunity. [03/11/2001]
