He's an activist an 8 time Emmy Award Winner and a TV Academy Hall Of Famer. I know him best as Lou Grant on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and it was such an honor and a pleasure to talk to him this morning.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show was so much a part of my childhood. As a little girl I would watch the show every Saturday night on CBS and I would dream about living the life that Mary Tyler Moore was living. She represented much of what I aspired to be as a young girl Mary was an independent business woman, living on her own, working in a TV newsroom, (radio station for me) experiencing boyfriend issues and I look at my life now and it looks very similar...mission accomplished!(well not the boyfriend problems)
One of my favorite lines on the show was when Lou would tell Mary "You got spunk!" and she would say thank you Mr. Grant and he would add "I hate spunk!" Cracked me up every time!
Great memories...I am living a most charmed life and am so blessed to be able to talk to so many celebrities who have been such a big part of my childhood. Thank you Mr. Asner for being so charming~
