She turned the world on with her smile. But where will Mary Tyler Moores hat land?

Minneapolis, MNLocal News

Mary Tyler Moore's beloved tam-o'-shanter, a symbol of her character's exuberance in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," is currently hidden from view. Levine, her husband, sold their estate and auctioned many items, but he has other plans for the hat. He is establishing the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative to address diabetes-related vision loss, a cause close to Moore's heart as a Type 1 diabetic. Levine's journey includes searching for sponsors to support the initiative, reflecting Moore's legacy as an advocate for diabetes research. The hat, which represents a defining moment in TV history, has not yet found a permanent home.

Levine discovered it while sorting through Moore's belongings after her passing. The initiative seeks to continue her advocacy and support the community affected by diabetes. Finding a place for the hat is part of Levine's efforts to honor Moore's contributions both on-screen and off.
