...familiar," she said. That was then. Two years ago, Moore and VALERIE HARPER tried to sell ABC on a sitcom reprising their Mary Tyler Moore Show characters. The network passed, but it green-lighted a movie, and last week Moore and Harper were in New York City filming Mary & Rhoda, which will air during the February sweeps.

Her family alleged in a lawsuit that the nursing home essentially abandoned Johnson: she was often left lying in her own waste, hungry, cold, unfed and unturned. One day she complained to Swan that her hip hurt. With her sons' help, Swan lifted her mother out of the bed, pulled up her nightgown and collapsed in sobs. "She had this bedsore on her hip that was so deep," her daughter recalls, "that I could see the hip socket and leg bone moving inside the hole...
