Was it just me or was Marlo Thomas simply beautiful in That Girl? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I've been watching That Girl on ME-TV and while I think its a pretty good show, I think Marlo Thomas is simply beautiful. She is goregous and got even prettier as the show went on. Now forgive but Im not that smart when it comes to 60s fashions but I thought Marlo looked good when she had the beehive(?) hair do. When she changed her hair in the later seasons, she looked even better, if thats possible.

Does anyone else feel that way or is it just me?

It wasn't a beehive. It was a flip. Lots of girls had that do back then. She was just able to turn it into a trademark.

FYI, she had that hairdo before she was on the show. Check out her appearence in an episode of Ben Casey.

She looked her best in the final season, in my opinion. Those circa 1970 outfits remind me of what I used to see in my childhood: Hot ladies, rockin' the minis and tall boots!

Marlo was definitely a cutie. I had a crush on her as a kid when I originally watched the show. I personally liked her flip hair style the best, I didn't like it when she got rid of her bangs in the last season. Spoiler, Marlo did have a nose job (she was Danny Thomas' daughter after all), for a look at the un-varnished Marlo see her in a first season episode of My Favorite Martian. Still a sweet potootie in spite of the shnoz.

It's not just you,she was quite attractive. A sidenote:I think the attractive actresses in the older tv shows and movies over-all were much better looking than the so-called 'attractive' contemporary actresses.And my wife says the same thing about the men in the older shows and movies.

And her personality on the show made her even more beautiful.

mets82 · 04-19-2012, 08:14 PM

Thats the thing to. I mean I would love to date someone like that because she wasnt an airhead nor was she snotty or anything. She just had a bubbly personality which I find very attractive.

I am sure that many men wished to themselves for an Ann Marie type to have as a girlfriend!

She is beautiful inside and out. Same goes for Marlo too!

And Marlo is still beautiful today. Her work with St. Jude is so admirable. I'm glad she is carrying on her father's legacy.

Marlo was more beautiful with the flip and bang hairdo even wearing that "Bangs Wig" (more like an obvious "Flip Wig") in season 4.

The long straight 70's hair with the still 60's pancake make-up and false lashes aged her.

OH Nuts! · 06-01-2012, 07:56 AM

She was adorable and I can easily see how others would find her beautiful. Her character on the show had a bubbly personality - in awe of the wonders around her. And of course her sweetie pie boyfriend and overprotective ( er I mean OVERPROTECTIVE) father just added to the charm of Ann (& Marlo for playing Ann so skillfully.) Wished Marlo had done more series.

On a side note, I LOVE Marlo for all her work for St. Jude's - God Bless her for it!

mets82 · 07-29-2012, 06:28 PM

I admit it. She might be one of the best looking women from the 60s, 70s or 80s. I include Mary Tyler Moore and Marion Ross in that group as well.

Make no mistake about it. . .Marlo Thomas was
Smokin' Hot in "That Girl".

jehobden · 08-06-2012, 07:32 PM

Marlo was beautiful in That Girl, I think, but I find her excited voice a bit annoying, as though she's just taken a long hit of helium!

She's in my top 10 classic tv hotties.
