...Danny Thomas' daughter in Make Room for Daddy. It was an epochal audition. Thomas turned her down gently: "With a nose like yours, my dear, you don't look like you belong to me." But a few years later, when Thomas was casting The Dick Van Dyke Show, he called for "the girl with the three names and the smile." By then Mary's marriage was all but finished; it was finally canceled in its eleventh year...

While the pilot for The Dick Van Dyke Show was being filmed, the recently separated Mary was introduced to an NBC executive whose own marriage had just dissolved. Mary and Grant were married three years later. The network elevated Tinker to vice president in the programming department and made his headquarters Burbank, Calif., where his bride happened to be working. A five-year idyll ended in 1966, when NBC ordered Tinker back to Manhattan, and Dick Van Dyke decided to leave his show to pursue a film career...

...Stocking Feet. Mayor Soglin's style contrasts sharply with that of the clean-cut, well-dressed and almost militarily inaccessible Dyke. Soglin, who has a habit of arguing far into the night, often shows up bleary-eyed at his office. Cartoons, antiwar slogans and newspaper clippings dot the walls around his desk; a plaque that reads HIZZONER DA MARE is on the door.
