Spotlight: “Mary Tyler Moore” by Janice Shapiro

“Mary Tyler Moore” is a chapter out of my graphic memoir, Crushable—My Life In Crushes, which tells the story of my life through my many crushes from Ricky Nelson to Viggo Mortensen. As a teenager in the early 1970s there was no one I wanted more to be than Mary Tyler Moore. I was heartbroken by her recent passing. I still wish I was her.
