A unique collectible for fans of MARY TYLER MOORE and THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW. This is 2 reproduction scripts, both of which are Mary’s best from the first season.

First, MY BLOND-HAIRED BRUNETTE, this is part of TV history as it demonstrated the yet to be discovered comedic abilities of MARY TYLER MOORE.  Originally cast as a typical sitcom housewife, this showcase story for Laura was filmed almost midway through the first season, but after the huge reaction, it was moved up much earlier in broadcast order to show audiences this emerging talent.  Written months ahead of production, at this stage Millie is Dot in the script.  In past interviews, Mary Tyler Moore stated this was her favorite episode of the series.

Second, THE CURIOUS THING ABOUT WOMEN, touches on Laura’s habit of reading Rob’s mail, culminating in the hilarious package delivered at the climax.   The original script belonged either to Larry Matthews or an adult working with him as their are numerous reminders written in pencil to guide the young actor.  Those pages have been reproduced in color to better reflect that.  

Both nicely bound for easy reading with a clear cover, the script covers have also been reproduced in color to better capture it’s vintage nature.  

Please inquire if interested in other episodes of this series.
