ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Marlo Thomas,

THE LOW DOWN 

Marlo Thomas (daughter of comedy legend Danny Thomas) stars as Ann Marie, a struggling actress who moves from her small home town to New York City in the classic 60's sitcom. In-between trying to find acting & modelling work, she takes on odd jobs, often the springboard to the many comical situations witnessed by her boyfriend - journalist Donald Hollinger (Ted Bessell).

THE VERDICT

That Girl was one of the most popular shows of the 1960's, making a star out of Marlo Thomas in the process. The character of Ann Marie was a pretty pivotal one as it happens, the girl about town format hadn't then really been done in TV before and showed the way for the later equally popular Mary Tyler Moore show. 

The show is great fun to requaint yourself with, even if you were too young to catch the original run its one of those shows that has been seen in re-runs over the years and has that classic 60's feel that shows such as Bewitched or I Dream of Jeannie also 
have.

Another major plus point is the great location footage of sixties New York that was a hallmark of the series.
Definitely worth seeking out.
