Peters even shared a story about Moore generously offering to host Peters’ wedding in her own house.
“I was getting married,” she recalled, “and trying to figure out where to have it. [Mary Tyler Moore] said ‘why don’t you have it here?’ She gave me my wedding, at her house. That’s a big deal.”
Peters wasn’t the only one with fond memories of Moore last night. Stars turned out in force to honor the entertainment icons that the world lost this year, including Don Rickles, David Cassidy, Glen Campbell and Tom Petty.
