Luanne Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 My daughter said a lady came through her lane at work the other day and she didn't know who Marlo Thomas was. I'm 48, by the way.

Luanne Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 yes, of course I do. But, I'm 49 I'm curious why this topic would come up in conversation.... The lady in front of her apparently looked a lot like Marlo Thomas. My daughter made that observation and the lady went "who?" My daughter is 24. Yes, she watches a lot of old television shows and said she would understand if someone her age didn't know who she was, but thought it was odd someone my age didn't know.

idnib Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I know her because she and I had the same doctor at one point and he had told me about it. This was in the 80s, pre-HIPAA. I've never watched her shows though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer when I lack cultural knowledge everyone else seems to have is to blame my mother for censoring our tv watching so much. ;- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yes. I grew up watching her show. For those who may not have grown up watching her, they still "may"/"should" know her from her work with St. Jude's Hospital and her presence on tv commercials promoting such.

fraidycat Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I voted other. I think I know who she is... But I am HORRIBLE with names so have to double check to make sure. ETA: Yes, I do know who she is and I am quite proud that I actually had the correct name to go with the face! :) That Girl!! I'm 37, but absolutely devoured Nick at Nite and TV Land as a teen. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WishboneDawn Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 That Girl. Danny Thomas' daughter. St. Jude's Married to a former talk show host. Did I get it? I don't know her, her father, and have never heard of That Girl. I'm 39. I'm also Canadian but that's not generally a big handicap on questions about American celebrities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 No, but the things I don't know about pop culture and TV would fill many a book. My parents mostly did not allow us to watch TV until I was too old to pay attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 When I was a kid, I wanted to be Ann Marie from That Girl. I always thought she was so pretty! And several of the girls I knew went to the same plastic surgeon she'd used, because they all wanted Marlo Thomas's nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Laurie Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I watched That Girl reruns growing up, so yes. I'm 36.

LaCEmom Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I recognized the name as some celebrity, but had no clue who she actually was. I've also never heard of That Girl, but I can picture the St. Jude lady. Then again if you named an actor or actress currently on TV, it's unlikely I'd recognize their name either.
