Marlo Thomas is an American actress and television producer best known for pioneering the production of shows focusing on a single, working-class woman in Hollywood. She did this by playing the award-winning role of Ann Marie on the sitcom That Girl (1966-1971). Since then, Thomas has become a published author and social activist who advocates for women’s rights and is involved in numerous charities. Join us as we take a look at all of his accomplishments, personal life, and earnings.

the biography

Marlo Thomas was born Margaret Julia Thomas, the eldest of four children to Rose Marie Cassaniti and comedian Danny Thomas. His birth took place on November 21, 1937 in Detroit, Michigan. Due to her father’s career, the Thomas family moved to Beverly Hills, California where they raised their daughter. She attended Marymount High School and the University of Southern California where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority before earning a teaching degree.

In 1960, Thomas made his acting debut in an episode of The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis before moving on to shows like 77 Sunset Strip (1960), Thriller (1961), and The Joey Bishop Show. (1961-1962). In 1965 Thomas appeared in the pilot episode of the ABC show Two’s Companywhich was not picked up. However, her performance in the pilot caught the attention of ABC executives who gave her the opportunity to create her own show in which she would play the title character. This opportunity led to the creation of the sitcom That Girl (1966-1971), where Thomas played the title character, Ann Marie. Her performances on the show earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Television in 1967 and several nominations, including a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series before she decided to end the series in 1971.

Marlo Thomas’ next major roles were Tess Lynd in Consenting Adult (1985), which earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination, and then as Marie Balter in Nobody’s Child (1986), where her performance earned her a Primetime Emmy Award. Other notable roles that came after that were in movies and series like Friends (1996-2002) where she played Jennifer Aniston’s mother, Sandra Green, Cheating (2004), and LOL (2012) alongside Demi Moore and Miley Cyrus, among others.

Plastic surgery

Marlo Thomas has reportedly gone under the knife multiple times to get a nose job, brow lift, face lift and filler injections. Many people have come to criticize it because the apparent work looks poorly done and obvious to the naked eye as it makes it look artificial. However, that apparently didn’t change her mind about what to do next with her body.

Marlo Thomas net worth

Marlo Thomas is estimated to have a net worth of around $35 million. The award-winning actress is also the recipient of the highest honor an American civilian can receive – the Presidential Medal of Freedom, awarded by President Barack Obama in November 2014. She has made her wealth from her career in Hollywood, as well as the creation of books. She has published seven best-selling books, including three number ones.

It’s unclear if Thomas makes money from her role as national outreach director at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the pediatric and research facility her father founded in 1962.

Family – husband

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Marlo Thomas was in a highly publicized relationship with playwright Herb Gardner. Nothing was ultimately made of the relationship as Thomas decided to marry media personality and talk show host, Phil Donahue.

Thomas first met Donahue in 1977 when she appeared on his show, The Phil Donahue Show. The two reportedly had the crush that sparked a three-year relationship that led to them exchanging vows on May 21, 1980. She went on to become a mother figure to Donahue’s five children, whom he had as early as his first marriage, as the couple had no children.

Is she dead or alive?

Marlo Thomas is still very much alive, as she has lately taken on a few minor acting roles. In 2015, she appeared in an episode of Ballers and two years later appeared in the web series Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later and film The Female Brain (2017). In 2018, Thomas re-emerged into the acting scene taking a minor role in the film Ocean’s 8
