he controlled the Sonny &amp; Cher shows. Mary Tyler Moore&#39;s husband, CBS executive Grant Tinker, created and controlled her show and ran the production company bearing her name. Carol Burnett&#39;s husband was her variety show&#39;s producer, Joe Hamilton. According to her biographies, she might have been the most independent of the three. Mary Tyler Moore and Cher both describe their time with their husbands as a period of stunted<br \/>\ngrowth where they willingly allowed themselves to be &quot;taken care of&quot; by their business-savvy husbands. Both of their husbands had assertive, if not dominating, personalities and Cher and Mary Tyler Moore have both described themselves as obedient. Both Cher and Mary Tyler Moore also described<br \/>\nthemselves as having a low level of confidence.<\/p>\n<p>All women eventually divorced their husbands but remained, more or less, friendly with them. Mary Tyler Moore and Cher often give credit to their ex-husbands for their prominent success in the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, they went on to become the independent single women the public assumed they<br \/>\nalready were. <\/p>\n<p><strong>They Had Enterprises<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both Cher and Mary Tyler Moore had<br \/>\nhusbands who started enterprises in their names (MTM Enterprises, Cher<br \/>\nEnterprises).&#0160; Both Cher and Mary Tyler Moore had little to do with<br \/>\ntheir respective enterprises (Cher didn&#39;t even know about hers). Neither of them benefited much from their<br \/>\nenterprises professionally after they left their shows and their marriages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They Come From Dysfunctional<br \/>\nFamilies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All thee women grew up in dysfunctional families with an alcoholic or<br \/>\ndrug-addicted parent who was either rarely present, never present or otherwise emotionally unavailable.<br \/>\nCarol Burnett and Mary Tyler Moore describe feeling abandoned either physically or<br \/>\nemotionally by one or both of of their parents due to their parents&#39; addictions. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mary Tyler Moore&#39;s father was emotionally distant and her mother was an alcoholic. <\/li>\n<li>Cher&#39;s mother suffered from depression and her father was a heroin addict who was never involved in her early life. His involvement in her adult life was problematic.<\/li>\n<li>Both of Carol Burnett&#39;s parents were severe alcoholics unable to take care of her.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>They Were All First Borns<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mary Tyler Moore was the oldest of three. <\/li>\n<li>Cher is the oldest of two girls.

There are obvious similarities in the depictions of heaven and hell, both using similarly funky photographic techniques. As Jamie L. Weinnan commented on Mary Tyler Moore&#39;s special (but which could also be said about the Cher special): \u201cTV could be pleasantly insane in the<br \/>\n70s.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Mary&#39;s Incredible Dream <\/em>was allegedly the first to feature Ben Vereen as a guest in 1976. He apparently became the ubiquitous guest. You can draw a line directly from that fact to his ironic portrayal in Bob Fosse&#39;s <em>All That Jazz<\/em> in 1979.<\/p>\n<p>Compare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oK9B7Kav9_M\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Mary&#39;s performance<\/a> (7:47 mark) of \u201cBecause<br \/>\nI\u2019m a Woman\u201d with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DPYlkDw-R3E\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Cher and Raquel Welch<\/a> doing the song a year earlier in 1975. Mary Tyler Moore also sings &quot;Let the Good Times Roll&quot; and &quot;Aflie&quot; in her special. <\/p>\n<p>Mary Tyler Moore, in my mind, is a very talented comedienne, more on the comedy mark than Cher. Carol Burnett is probably the broadest talent of the three. But neither Carol or Mary can &quot;sparkle in the center&quot; like Cher does (whether Cher&#39;s dancing, singing or in a skit). Cher has that sparkle of coolness the other two don&#39;t have. <\/p>\n<p>\nWould someone please (Oprah maybe) get these three women in an room for an<br \/>\ninterview about what it was like to be perceived (and so influential) as<br \/>\nindependent women of the early and mid-1970s, in the midst of &quot;women&#39;s<br \/>\nlib&quot; (feminism&#39;s second wave), particularly since at least two of them<br \/>\n(maybe all three) didn&#39;t always feel so independent and\/or feminist.<\/p>\n<p>Can we make that happen?
