Marlo Thomas with Gloria Steinem

Before the words “women’s liberation” became a cultural catchphrase, Marlo Thomas embodied the term, creating, executive producing, and starring in the landmark television comedy series That Girl (1966–1971). Her creation — single working girl Ann Marie, who lived on her own and was avoiding marriage, much to her father’s dismay — became a role model for a new generation of women searching for independence and their own careers. Museum of the Moving Image and the Comedy Hall of Fame present this conversation with  Thomas, moderated by Gloria Steinem, in the program “The Visionary: Ann Marie, TV’s First Independent Woman,” about the creation and legacy of That Girl.
