Who Was Written Off The Mary Tyler Moore Show Because They Didn't Get Along With Cast - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There were a couple actors who really got the cold shoulder from one certain cast member, who shall remain nameless. Both of these actors have reported to me that their experience on the set was (to quote one of them) "horrible." One of the last shows of the seventh season called for two guest-spot actors. Due to conflicts between this actor and one of the principal MTMS cast members, his scenes were cut out of the show. Another semi-regular performer on MTMS has stated that this same cast member was often unkind...and that it resulted in being written out of a few episodes and/or having some scenes deleted.

Does Anybody know who these people were?

I never noticed that paragraph before. I had to read it a couple of times to get what it was saying. Why it says these people will remain nameless and go and compare this to a situation on All in the Family, where they specifically refer to Carroll O'Conner and Sada Thompson, is kind of strange.

If I had to guess, it was David Ogden Stiers perhaps?

The actress who played Mary's Mother,Nanette Fabray felt her scenes on the

show didn't work,she didn't mention tension or unfriendliness but said Mary's

tears on one of the episodes she was on,felt forced.

How ironic, because Mary always said she modeled her crying technique after Nanette Fabray's.
