In which musical-romantic comedy did Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore co-star?
Mary Tyler Moore Mary Tyler Moore (December 29, 1936 – January 25, 2017) was an American actress, known for her roles in the television sitcoms "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (1970–1977), in which she starred as Mary Richards, a single woman working as a local news producer in Minneapolis, and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961–1966), in which she played Laura Petrie, a former dancer turned Westchester homemaker, wife and mother. Her film work includes 1967's "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and 1980's "Ordinary People", in which she played a role that was very different from the television characters she had portrayed, and for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.
New Girl in Town New Girl in Town is a musical with a book by George Abbott and music and lyrics by Bob Merrill based on Eugene O'Neill's 1921 gloomy play "Anna Christie", about a prostitute who tries to live down her past. "New Girl", unlike O'Neill's play, focuses on the jealousy of the character Marthy and on love's ability to conquer all. The musical ends far more hopefully than the play.
