bullet::::- edie grant (née mckenzie) (priscilla morrill) was the wife of lou grant. she and lou had been married for many years and had children, but in the 1971 episode "the boss isn't coming to dinner", marital difficulties lead to lou and edie separating. though they reunite by the end of the episode, they again separate during "the mary tyler moore show's" third season, with the marriage ending soon thereafter. in a later season, edie was remarried to howard gordon, and asked lou and mary to attend her wedding. lou held his peace and they parted friends. even when lou lived in los angeles, he and edie kept in touch, because their grown daughters remained a common bond between them. in the "lou grant" series, edie was revealed to be roman catholic and of ukrainian heritage.
