I loved this show because Marlo Thomas was so wonderful and an icon of the sixties woman and New York actresses! She was not only energetic and perky, but quirky in a completely wholesome way. Plus her eyes are ENORMOUS, like a classic animated Disnet heroine. And of course she has the mandatory sixties hairstyle also sported by Barbara Parkins in Valley of the Dolls and Mary Tyler Moore later on! LOL They're showing a That Girl marathon right now on MeTV, including the rarely shown pilot directed by Jerry Paris from The Dick Van Dyke Show! And I'm watching it. One question: Does anyone know what Donald's last name was in the original pilot? (Hint: It's not the same as it was in later episodes.)
