Writer Jennifer Keishin Armstrong explores what happened behind the scenes of legendary sitcom "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Here are eight stories from her book.
Moore, who had trained as a ballet dancer, had an on-set ballet class several times a week during the production of the show and would bring in three ballet barres and a large mirror which had wheels affixed to the bottom. Harper would often join her and both enjoyed the time for bonding and distraction. "Dancing for me is like a cheap form of therapy," Moore said. "When your muscles are in agony you can't think about your problems."
