Infobox Image

[edit]

I think that we should change the infobox image for several main reasons. 1) MTM has been deceased since 2017. 2) The image is from during her later life (2000). 3) MTM’s career peak was from 1961-1977, when she was on Dick van Dyke’s show and did the Mary Tyler Moore Show, so an image from that period of time would be more appropriate.

One of these images from her 1967 trip to the Netherlands, in my opinion, would be the best option for the infobox image:

After 14 days of no response, I have decided to go with 1. If there are any objections please respond here. Dancingtudorqueen (talk) 02:24, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that a black and white image is best as most deceased celebrities usually switch to a younger photo of the wiki subject (usually during their primetime). I'm ok with 1 or 2. 2601:249:8E00:420:80FA:C24A:80C0:6301 (talk) 19:12, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely not. The image barely looks like MTM - it looks more like Sally Fields. I have restored the previous infobox image, which was removed without consensus to do so, and have deleted the dupe of it later down the page. That image is very useful because it very much looks like her, but was taken later in life. Do not change the image unless you have a consensus from editors on this talk page to do so.

I'm leaning towards moving the picture from 2011, the year she was awarded the 2011 Screen Actors Guild's lifetime achievement award, down to the awards and honors section, in favor of a picture from her prime in the infobox at the top. As to which picture looks "least like her" I think it's the one with her standing on the ladder in the article. I like 1 and 3 but it doesn't have to be one of those. I think the point is to use a most flattering photo, and if we have one that looks better than MTM, well great! No rush on this issue, though. wbm1058 (talk) 11:30, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! I totally agree, the infobox photo needs to be updated. However, below is my suggestion. It's MTM are we know her to look like.The One I Left (talk) 21:08, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed. Move the current infobox image to the down to the awards and honors section. I'm leaning towards the second 1967 picture showed. I'm also not opposed to The One I Left's suggestion. There's also the 1978 publicity photo which is seen in the article as well. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 22:48, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A year later, there's a solid consensus to post a B&W pic over the 2011 pic for the infobox. I'll be bold and change the infobox image given this consensus from a year ago. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 23:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can we use an image that represents her as most people recall her? Preferably the MTM Show era, but the even the DVD era would be more familiar than the current photo, updated 15 May 2024.

I don't like this change. The 2011 picture is more flattering than the black-and-white shot somebody just switched it with. As a matter of fact, the 2011 pic is more flattering than anything on Wikimedia. Mary looked better in 2011 than she did in 1978. Short hair did her no favors; very aging. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ieonine (talkcontribs) 00:07, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article says she was born in 1936. Died in 2017. Age 80. Math does not add up!! Parklandbob (talk) 01:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
