Mary Tyler Moore, who died Wednesday at age 80 , was best known an icon of comedic television, but one of her career highlights is the 1980 movie Ordinary People . Playing against type, Moore earned an Oscar nomination for portraying a steely suburban housewife and community socialite contending with her teenage sons death.

The Robert Redforddirected role is remarkable not only as an unlikely turn for Moore, whod become an Emmy-winning sitcom star thanks to The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rhoda and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. It captures something the actress had become known for: refreshing the cultural image of womanhood.

It is a simple but painfully emotional story of the disintegration of a \"perfect\" family. Teenager Conrad (Timothy Hutton) lives under a cloud of guilt after his brother drowns after their boat capsizes in Lake Michigan. Despite intensive therapy sessions with his psychiatrist (Judd Hirsch), Conrad can't shake the belief that he should have died instead of his brother; nor do his preoccupied parents (Donald Sutherland and Mary Tyler Moore) offer much in the way of solace. The boy is brought out of his doldrums through his romance with Jeannine (Elizabeth McGovern). A winner in every respect, Ordinary People (adapted from the novel by Judith Guest) scores highest in the scenes with Mary Tyler Moore, who superbly and perceptively portrays a blinkered, ever-smiling suburban wife and mother for whom outward appearance is all that matters.\n\nCREDITS:\nTM & Paramount (1980)\nCast: Quinn K.
