So sad. I really liked her. A real lady. She was great back in the 70's on television shows. She was married for 45 years..............RIP

Charming, gracious, beautiful and special enough to fill your heart with joy just by seeing her smile.

She was never called "Mary", always "Mary Ann". We are from the same home town, graduated from the same high school.

I think Mary Ann Mobley was blessed with the most beautiful face I have ever seen in my life. As CarlDuke says she was also charming, gracious and had such a lovely smile.

She was right about those last two questions. Her answers, I think, was what won Miss America for her.
