Valerie Harper has been known to TV audiences since she first appeared as Rhoda Morgenstern on the Mary Tyler Moore Show back in 1970. She was so good on that show that the network gave her her own show, "Rhoda", in 1974. Since that time, her career has had it's ups and downs, but her personal life hit a major 'down' back in March when she announced that she had only three months to live because of inoperable brain cancer.

Don't tell Valerie Harper that she's down. She's a fighter!
