Dick Van Dyke presents the Lifetime Achievement Award to his former “Dick Van Dyke Show” co-star Mary Tyler Moore, delivering a heartfelt speech citing her screen work and humanitarian work. Moore received a standing ovation from the crowd.

Moore began her speech by recalling how she had to alter her name from “Mary Moore” due to multiple listings of the same name in the SAG roster.

“I, too, am happy after all,”
Moore said while wrapping up her speech.

There’s no question that Mary Tyler Moore deserved to be recognized for her achievements.

When Van Dyke was finished with his introduction and the taped piece had played, Mary Tyler Moore was standing at the podium already. She didn’t walk on stage.

After she completed her charming acceptance speech, she didn’t move. When Van Dyke stepped in to give her a kiss on the cheek, she seemed startled. It was a little weird. She was never shown walking off stage.

There was an awkwardness about it. I wondered if she was suffering from a health issue.

I know she’s had some health problems relatively recently.

I hope all is well. I wish her years of good health and congratulate her on the lifetime achievement award.
