One day after legendary actress Mary Tyler Moore?s death, her longtime friend and co-star Dick Van Dyke recalled the ?surprising? day he first met the then 23-year-old in the office of Carl Reiner, the director of what would become their hit sitcom, ?The Dick Van Dyke Show.? Discouraged from several casting rejections in previous weeks, Moore -- who, according to Van Dyke, then dreamed of being a serious actress and wasn?t into comedy -- almost didn?t go to the audition.
