Message: [QUOTE="JavaMan, post: 2010640, member: 5562"] [I][FONT=Arial]Actress Mary Tyler Moore passed away Wednesday, her publicist said. She was 80 years old and had battled diabetes for decades. "A groundbreaking actress, producer, and passionate advocate for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Mary will be remembered as a fearless visionary who turned the world on with her smile," her publicist Mara Buxbaum said. Moore told the Chicago Tribune in 2004 that she’d undergone several laser surgeries to treat her deteriorating vision. She said considerable “splotchiness and dimming” in her eyes were a problem. Vision problems forced her to give up her cherished ballet and horseback riding, she told USA Today, but she replaced them with other forms of exercise, including Pilates. She carried a loaded syringe in her pocket while dining out so she could give herself a quick injection of insulin if needed, she said in 2009. "I shoot myself right through my clothes there at the table, right here in my thigh. I seldom wear white as a result," she told the newspaper. She later underwent brain surgery in 2011.
