Where has Marlo Thomas been ?
Marlo turns 87 next week (Nov 21) and she has been off our television screens since her husband Phil Donahue died (August 18). St Jude's Hospital has not been running any commercials with her in them any longer (I miss her promise to send 'this cute little tee shirt' if you made a donation) nor has she been on any talk shows promoting the annual 'thanks for giving' campaign for the hospital. Her social media (Facebook, at least) has gone radio silent.
Has anyone checked in on That Girl ?

This doesn't sound good. She's not long for this world, I'm afraid.

Is she hiding under a glass table?

She's grieving her husband of almost five decades. Give the poor gal a break.

Usually she's hawking her Williams-Sonoma tableware at this time of year, too. Hasn't been doing that.
I noticed she listed their Westport, CT home for sale just weeks before he died. I wonder if it ever sold ?

Is she selecting a new exterior paint color for St. Jude’s Hospital?

She lost the love of her life and is probably just taking care of herself.

If your husband dies in August it's gauche to hawk your Williams-Sonoma tableware for the holidays. She should at least wait until Easter.

By Easter, it will be on the clearance shelves at Homegoods.

She said she’s taking a break from social media after Phil died.

She's screaming at the help, as always.

She's laying under a glass coffee table, crying out for Daddy.

Williams-Sonoma is hawking it, regardless. It looks kindof awful.

R15 Looks like they're getting rid of her stuff from the past few years. The blue floral has been around for a while now. I guess she didn't sign off on anything new this year.

I’m sorry for your loss Mar.

I didn't know she was so fat.
Like a kitchen witch head stuck on Mrs. Claus' body.
And that's with hair, makeup and lighting.

Yeah, she probably micromanages how she photographs. I'm surprised she hasn't done lip to go with the facial plastic stuff.

Well she does have resting bitch face. Well she simply has bitch face.

R21 She doesn't want to rest. She has said in just about every interview she loves keeping busy, loves dipping into new projects, loves working for St Jude's - hates 'doing nothing'. Even on her vacations and travels - she has to have a full itinerary, not lay by a pool some where. She insists this keeps her young and healthy.

I wonder how Mr. Donahue (who seemed rather mild mannered) managed to bear her when she was in raging-bitch-mode with the staff, contractors, etc.
Did he just manage to phase that out? Or did she hold back on her shrill harpy tendencies until he was away at work?

I think he enjoyed it. He seemed very passive - especially to strong women. She did what he didn't have the balls to do to the household staff, and I think he loved it.

She is LYING low, not laying low.
She is LYING under a coffee table, not LAYING under a coffee table. Unless she's a hen, laying eggs.

I can barely find the energy to do stuff at barely sixty, I can't imagine myself in another twenty-seven years!
I will be happy to sit by a pool and do nothing! Waiting for death can fill my days!

I wonder if she inherited a lot from Phil, or did it all go to his children ? Did they sign a pre-nup in 1980 ?
