Mary ‘not a nice girl’
NZPA-AP New York Mary Tyler Moore, who has quit smoking, quit drinking and started a new television series, says she is also trading in her nice girl image for one that is more realistic. “I’m nice,” she said in an interview in the January issue of the American “McCalls” magazine. “I’m pleasant to be with, but I’m not a nice girl any more. Never again. “I have strong opinions,
and now I think it’s okay to have strong opinions.” Miss Moore, aged 47, said her stay at the Betty Ford Centre for the treatment of alcoholism gave her the ability to express herself and to stop trying to live up to other’s expectations. Her new series, “Mary,” premiered on C.B.S. television last week. It ranked thirty-first out of 71 shows in the A. C. Nielsen Co. ratings.
