shot like that can be easily set up by a skilled or knowledgeable pool player, and then all she has to do is hit it.


Back in my pool days we would've called it "dead", meaning the balls are frozen together and lined up so that all she had to do was hit the first ball with some force and every ball would automatically go in. It looks good but literally anybody could do it

--literally not true. What if anybody didn't have arms? Or hit the lead ball at a slight angle

She dated Warren Beatty, there’s no coming back from that. She wouldn’t feel me

How many takes?



Just one.

The original set up, as explained to the audience in rehearsal, was for Mary Tyler Moore to shoot, cut the camera, and then have an actual pool shark come on and pull off the shot. Instead, Mary Tyler Moore actually pulled it off on the first take. The actors did an incredible job staying in character because that wasn't supposed to happen.

I would have loved to have been at that taping.
