SFGate.com ^ | 5/12/11 | AP

New York - A representative for Mary Tyler Moore says the veteran sitcom star will have surgery to remove a brain tumor.

Spokeswoman Alla Plotkin says Moore's doctors recommended the elective procedure after monitoring the tumor for some time. Plotkin did not say when the surgery would take place.

It would remove a meningioma (meh-NIN'-jee-OH'-muh), a slow-growing tumor in the membranes that cover the brain. Meningiomas usually occur in older adults and are mostly benign.

Are you trying to say she was hotter than Sally Rogers??? Are you crazy?

Don't forget Pickles Sorrell (Joan Shawlee). She towered at least a foot over Buddy.

Sure she'd be getting the surgery, only in Panama, Belize or India. She has enough money to find a place that allows you to purchase medical care.

"...Tight Capri pants on a natural female body, beats thongs, tattoos and piercings ANY day...."

And this little number doesn't hurt the visual either.



I pray she comes through the operation fully.

Let's not forget that she was on the short list of ladies who got to star in a movie with Elvis.

My husband was operated for this in January. Since then we have found so many friends and acquaintences with the same thing. My husband’s prognosis is excellent. His surgery was Jan. 7 and he was home on Jan. 10 and back at work Jan. 11.on

If you are old enough, in the black and white days of TV, Mary was in the dancer in the cigarette package. Great gams!
