Here's the line-up according to the article:

"Among those interviewed for the film are directors Rob Reiner, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, and Jim Burrows; actors Ed Asner, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lena Waithe, Phylicia Rashad, Bernadette Peters, and Joel Grey; writers and producers Allan Burns, James L. Brooks, Norman Lear, Debra Martin Chase, Treva Silverman, and Susan Silver; and Moore’s husband, Dr. S. Robert Levine".

Robert Redford was the director of Ordinary People (Moore was nominated for an Oscar for her performance), I wonder if they at least attempted to interview him. (A little off topic, but Ordinary People may be the worst Oscar pick of all time it beat out Raging Bull!) Dick Van Dyke is not included which is a real headscratcher. In retrospect I think Moore's best work is in the Dick Van Dyke Show, she's very funny, Dick and Mary are amazing together.

Van Dyke has commented on Mary many times in the past, and they had a memorable appearance together on Larry King Live decades after his series. It would be such a shame if we don't hear from him, either newly commenting or from stock interview footage.

Seems like a bunch of irrelevant people interviewed. Par for the course.
