Moore's first regular television role was as 'Sam' a mysterious and glamorous telephone switchboard operator/receptionist in the series ''[[Richard Diamond, Private Detective]]'' with [[David Janssen]]. Sam's sultry voice was heard talking to Richard Diamond from her switchboard; however, only her legs and occasionally her hands appeared on camera -- never her face, adding to the character's mystique.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.tvguide.com/news/tyler-moore-dick-36447.aspx|title=Mary Tyler Moore's Big Break |magazine=TV Guide|date=May 6, 2004 |access-date=August 14, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131112042757/https://www.tvguide.com/news/tyler-moore-dick-36447.aspx/ |archive-date=November 12, 2013 }}</ref>  After creating a minor sensation by appearing as Sam in 12 episodes of ''Richard Diamond'' as an uncredited player, Moore asked for a raise -- and was promptly fired by the show's producers and replaced by Roxane Brooks in the role.  However, Moore was able to parlay the publicity from 'revealing' Sam's identity to the press into several flattering articles and profiles, giving her career a boost.

About this time, she guest-starred in [[John Cassavetes]]' [[NBC]] detective series ''[[Johnny Staccato]]'', and also in the series premiere of ''[[The Tab Hunter Show]]'' in September 1960 and the ''[[Bachelor Father (American TV series)|Bachelor Father]]'' episode "Bentley and the Big Board" in December 1960. In 1961, Moore appeared in several big parts in movies and on television, including ''[[Bourbon Street Beat]]''; ''[[77 Sunset Strip]]''; ''[[Surfside 6]]''; ''[[Wanted Dead or Alive (TV series)|Wanted: Dead or Alive]]'' with [[Steve McQueen]]; ''[[Steve Canyon]]''; ''[[Hawaiian Eye]]''; ''[[Thriller (American TV series)|Thriller]]'' and ''[[Lock-Up (TV series)|Lock-Up]]''. She also appeared in a February 1962 episode of ''[[Straightaway (TV series)|Straightaway]]''.

In 1961, [[Carl Reiner]] cast Moore in ''[[The Dick Van Dyke Show]]'', a weekly series based on Reiner's own life and career as a writer for [[Sid Caesar]]'s television variety show ''[[Your Show of Shows]]'', telling the cast from the outset that it would run for no more than five years. The show was produced by [[Danny Thomas]]' company, and Thomas himself recommended her. He remembered Moore as "the girl with three names" whom he had turned down earlier.<ref name=paley>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070301201915/http://www.shemadeit.org/meet/biography.aspx?m=43 Profile] the [[Paley Center for Media]].

Moore's energetic comic performances as Van Dyke's character's wife, begun at age 24 (eleven years Van Dyke's junior), made both the actress and her signature fitted [[capri pants]] popular, and she became internationally known. When she won her first [[Emmy Award]] for her portrayal of Laura Petrie,<ref>{{harvnb|Moore|1995|p=114}}</ref> she said, "I know this will never happen again."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/mary-tyler-moore-star-mary-tyler-moore-show/story?id=44534207 |title=Mary Tyler Moore, Star of 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show,' Dies at 80 |last=Fisher |first=Lucina |date=January 25, 2017 |website=ABC News |access-date=January 26, 2017}}</ref> As Laura Petrie, Moore often wore styles that recalled the fashion of [[Jackie Kennedy]], such as capri pants, echoing an ideal of the Kennedy administration's [[John F.

====''The Mary Tyler Moore Show'' (1970–1977)====
In 1970, after performing in the one-hour musical special ''Dick Van Dyke and the Other Woman'', Moore and husband [[Grant Tinker]] successfully pitched a sitcom that centered on Moore to [[CBS]]. ''[[The Mary Tyler Moore Show]]'' was a half-hour newsroom sitcom featuring [[Ed Asner]] as her gruff boss [[Lou Grant (fictional character)|Lou Grant]]. ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show'' bridged aspects of the [[Women's Movement]] with mainstream culture by portraying an amiable, independent woman whose life focused on her professional career rather than marriage and family.<ref>{{cite news |last=McLellan |first=Dennis |title=Mary Tyler Moore, beloved TV icon who symbolized the independent career woman, dies at 80 |url=http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-mary-tyler-moore-20170125-story.html |access-date=January 26, 2017 |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=January 25, 2017}}</ref><ref name="NYT01"/>

The show marked the first big hit for film and television producer [[James L.

The premise of the single working woman's life, alternating during the program between work and home, became a television staple.<ref name=paley/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.biography.com/people/mary-tyler-moore-9413674|title=Mary Tyler Moore Biography |publisher=Biography.com |access-date=February 9, 2017}}</ref> After six years of ratings in the top 20,<ref name=museum>[http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/M/htmlM/marytylermo/marytylermo.htm "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630144414/http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/M/htmlM/marytylermo/marytylermo.htm |date=June 30, 2007 }} museum.tv.

====Later projects====
On January 22, 1976, while season six of ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show'' was in progress, Moore appeared in ''Mary's Incredible Dream'', an experimental musical/variety special for CBS,<ref>{{harvnb|Moore|1995|pp=190–192}}</ref> and which also featured [[Ben Vereen]]. She described it as "a totally different concept from anything ever attempted on television... We go from song to dance to song and back again, telling a story of the eternal cycle of man. If viewers don't want to follow the story, they can just enjoy the music and dancing."<ref>A first: 'Mary's Incredible Dream'", by Vernon Scott, UPI report, ''Lowell (MA) Sun'', January 5, 1976, p.24</ref> In 1978, she starred in a second CBS special, ''How to Survive the '70s and Maybe Even Bump Into Happiness'', where she received significant support from a strong lineup of guest stars: [[Bill Bixby]], [[John Ritter]], [[Harvey Korman]] and Dick Van Dyke. In the 1978–79 season, Moore also starred in two unsuccessful CBS variety series. The first, ''[[Mary (1978 TV series)|Mary]]'', featured [[David Letterman]], [[Michael Keaton]], [[Swoosie Kurtz]] and [[Dick Shawn]] in the supporting cast. After CBS canceled that series, it brought Moore back in March 1979 in a new, retooled show, ''[[The Mary Tyler Moore Hour]]''. Described as a "sit-var" (part situation comedy/part variety series), it had Moore portraying a TV star putting on a variety show.<ref name=museum/> The program lasted just 11 episodes.<ref>{{cite news |last=Heffernan |first=Virginia |title=Mary Tyler Moore, Who Incarnated the Modern Woman on TV, Dies at 80 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/arts/television/mary-tyler-moore-dead.html|access-date=January 26, 2017 |work=The New York Times |date=January 26, 2017 |url-access=limited}}</ref>

In the 1985–86 season, Moore returned to CBS in a sitcom titled ''[[Mary (1985 TV series)|Mary]]'', which suffered from poor reviews, sagging ratings, and strife within the production crew. Moore said she asked network to pull the show because she was unhappy with the direction and production.<ref>{{harvnb|Moore|1995|pp=266–267}}</ref> Moore also starred in the short-lived ''[[Annie McGuire (TV series)|Annie McGuire]]'' in 1988.<ref>{{harvnb|Moore|1995|pp=271–272}}</ref> In 1995, after another lengthy break from TV series work, Moore was cast as tough, unsympathetic newspaper owner Louise "the Dragon" Felcott on the CBS drama ''[[New York News]]'', the third series in which her character was involved in the news media.<ref>{{cite news |last=Gay |first=Verne |date=October 22, 1995 |title=Mary Tyler Moore Roars Back to Series TV |url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1995-10-22-9510130280-story.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210702064552/https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1995-10-22-9510130280-story.html |archive-date=July 2, 2021 |publisher=Newsday |via=Sun-Sentinel}}</ref> Moore was disappointed with the writing of her character and was negotiating with producers to get out of her contract for the series when it was canceled.<ref>{{cite news |last=Grady |first=Constance |title=Watch Mary Tyler Moore play against type in this forgotten 1995 drama |url=https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/1/25/14389972/mary-tyler-moore-new-york-news-madeline-kahn-fabio-1995-cbs |access-date=January 26, 2017 |work=Vox |date=January 25, 2017}}</ref>

===Theater===
Moore appeared in several [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] plays. She was the star of a new musical version of ''[[Breakfast at Tiffany's (musical)|Breakfast at Tiffany's]]'' in December 1966, but the show, titled ''Holly Golightly'', was a flop that closed in previews before opening on Broadway. In reviews of performances in Philadelphia and Boston, critics "murdered" the play in which Moore claimed to be singing with bronchial pneumonia.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UGAaAAAAIBAJ&pg=5182,1978228&dq=holly-golightly+mary-tyler-moore&hl=en |title=Boston and Philadelphia Critics Broke Mary Tyler Moore's Heart |website=News.google.com|date=December 4, 1966 |access-date=August 14, 2010}}</ref>

She starred in ''[[Whose Life Is It Anyway?

During the 1980s, Moore and her production company produced five plays: ''[[Noises Off]]'', ''[[The Octette Bridge Club]]'', ''[[A Day in the Death of Joe Egg|Joe Egg]]'', ''[[Benefactors (play)|Benefactors]]'', and ''Safe Sex''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/mary-tyler-moore-23123|title=Mary Tyler Moore – Broadway Cast & Staff|website=IBDb.com|access-date=January 23, 2025}}</ref>
