Marlo Thomas – St. Jude National Outreach Director At Age 82

Veteran actress Marlo Thomas guest-starred in famous TV shows like Bonanza, McHale’s Navy, 77 Sunset Strip, and The Donna Reed Show, but did not find much success. As it turned out, Thomas’ big break came in the form of a stage play, Neil Simon’s ‘Barefoot in the Park.’ It was director Mike Nichols that cast the actress for the role of Corie Bratter. He was responsible again for Thomas appearing on Broadway in the Andrew Bergman’s play, Social Security.

Thomas’ big break on television happened when she appeared as Ann Marie in the 1960s sitcom That Girl. Now in her 80s, the actress is the St. Jude National Outreach Director for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. She unveiled the Marlo Thomas Center for Global Education and Collaboration in 2014, the new center aims to do further research to finally defeat cancer and other life-threatening diseases that plague young children.
