That Girl

Before The Mary Tyler More Show, Murphy Brown and Ally McBeal, there was That Girl.The groundbreaking situation comedy starring Marlo Thomas, which debuted in 1966, was the first to feature a young, single, independent female character. Ann Marie’s pursuit of her dream – to be an actress in New York – and her adventures with her boyfriend, Donald Hollinger (Ted Bessell), and her doting parents (Lew Parker and Rosemary DeCamp) became wildly popular and brought Thomas four Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe Award.
