It’s important to marry the person you can really be yourself with, are friends with, enjoy being with, someone who challenges you intellectually, someone who makes you laugh.
hahaha you stupid for marrying like donahue
They are such an adorable couple. And despite the public perception that celebrities don't have happy marriages...there are quite a few like Marlo and Phil who have happy, long last relationships. Glad to see they are finally get recognized.
I really miss watching him....I grew up watching him with my mother.
The last of the Great morning show hosts from my 80s! Phil and 80s Soap Opera's made my day🤔
I remember That Girl when I was little and watching Phil with my mom after school. What a great couple. So perfect for each other!💗💗💗💗
A woman told a story that her mother would put on lipstick just to watch the Donohue Show! 💄
You can see there happy and love each other. My in laws have been married 45 years and still have that. You got to!😄
💥I'll take Phil Donahue over Dr.Oz, Dr Phil, Steve Harvey, Geraldo Rivera,Wendy Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, Judge Judy, Maury Povich, Jerry Springer, all judge shows,and Oprah Winfrey especially. He has a natural style and approach that's professional yet VERY informative and Actually Entertaining ❗❗❗As a kid in the 80s I learned soooooo much from his morning show. I'd watch him in between Seseme Street and the best 80s Soap Opera's. Every topic didn't fly over my head as a kid because of how Phil would breakdown each subject. I'll always remember his guests, his interviews and no matter the drama, his dignity ❗❗❗👍👍👍👍👍👍💥
You leave Judge Judy out of it !!! Thank you ... Judge Judy is a most sensible woman, and a funny one to boot ! She impresses everyone I know w/ her calm demeanour, brilliant wisdom & extraordinary humanity in interviews outside her TV show.
First of all my fellow quarantined neighbor 😷, if I could I would leave my "wife" for Judge Judy. I would love to make a mistake while cooking just so she'd fuss at me. Out of all the Judges,she's my favorite along with the original People's court and Joe Brown before all the grandstanding. 😭How dare you,my good sir!
...dont be smack talkin’ my Juditha...;)!!
I bet Phil Donahue wouldn't be too pleased with the company you put him in! Geez, Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, Maury Povich, Jerry Springer... Not even close to his league IMO.
I agree with you. I wish his show was still on the air today.
They both are still so young at heart you don’t realize they’re 82 and 84! 💝
With Marlo, it's the new face on top of the old face.
"Marriage is a place for one and a half persons." That's brilliant, and usually true.
In Marlo's case she wants 75%
When Marlo wore that lavender dress with the matching umbrella on That Girl, she was the prettiest girl in the whole world.
Yes, she truly was!
Yes 💥💕💥
I watched that Donahue show in 1977 and could see Phil and Marlo falling in love right in front of our eyes. I remember saying out loud, "Oh my God, they're falling in love!" What a great couple. Love both. Thank both for so much fine entertainment. Especially thank Phil because he was the first show, that I as a young mom of 4 children (then along came #5) could watch and feel that women were being acknowledged as having intelligence and worth as well as being a nurturing mom. God bless you both.
Marlo has done a fantastic job with St. Jude the organization her father Danny Thomas started. I once saw a television interview in which she was talking about watching the terminally ill children die. She broke down and cried. She was so emotional talking about that.
“That braid of steal gets tighter and tighter so somebody else can’t break it” -Marlo Thomas....I love that!!
Yeah, I liked her too until I heard her call Asian Americans "Chinamen." Not a fan anymore, tbh. Especially since my husband is Hawaiian.
@@jenniferlawrence9473 I remember that. Was that why her show as cancelled?
Congratulations on 40 years of marriage ❣️❣️❣️❣️
SALUTE❤🌹✊
I was just talking about Phil yesterday. His show was so important. It was an informative conversation of society that we so desperately need now.
Best role Marlo ever did was in "Nobody's Child" - the true story of Marie Balter - a woman who spent 20 years in a mental institution, who with the help of a doctor who saw more in her than the traditional psychotic psychiatrist, managed to learn to type, get a job, live in the community, go to college, get married and live a normal life - an advocate for those with emotional problems (I don't call it mental illness). She was terrific in that role. What a terrific person in real life as well.
They look great for their 80s! Gives me hope. I donate monthly to her father's legacy. St. Jude's Hospital.
They are each other's "soft place to land." It is SO important in marriage to feel safe and loved and understood, and like your partner has your back no matter what.
They're a great, aspirational couple.
Mr Donahue showed us an intelligent, insightful way to have a show- still one my favorites
I met them when they were on vacation in Bora Bora in 1997. They were such a friendly adorable couple.
Was she the more talkative like in this interview?
@@toninatoli Yes!
Phil has been off my radar for decades, I was overjoyed to learn he is still alive and celebrating 40 yrs with Marlo!!
Thank you for this timely update!
I was 37 when my wife and I married.....had planned to stay single for the rest of my life! Told my wife that the day we met....six weeks later, we were married! That was 30 years ago! And it's been a wild and wonderful ride ever since.....cant imagine not being married to my best and closest friend! And every single day gets better and better! What makes it work? Work! And a whole lot of love and committment!
I remember when I was younger my Mother on many occasions delivering flowers to Marlo from Phil. Such a sweet husband! Growing up I loved watching his talk show and loved her on That Girl! May those two have many more years together!
You could tell he was attracted to her the day she was a guest on his show so very long ago..He just lighted up and couldn't stop smiling...
You look marvelous Marlo! Following in your father's footsteps with your contribution to St. Jude's shows your generosity and compassion.
Geez.. these 2 are still in love...you can just tell with their body language. Enjoy this happiness!
Her lovely voice has not changed one itota from 1967. Wonderful.
As a kid, I remember Marlo singing, Free to be, you and me! Phil was my favorite talk show.
I’ve always loved Marlo. She’s a beautiful lady. I was a little girl, and I always messed up my hair like That Girl. I’m 53 now. Grew up watching Phil. What a true inspiration they are. The St Jude Legacy, their careers that has inspired so many, and their marriage which has withstood the test of time. Wow! Love them.
I am a couple years younger than you but I wanted to be That Girl too. I thought Donald was a bit of a nerd and thought James Brolin was a much better choice.
I just LOVE Marlo! She has done so much for St.Jude. She is also a nice in person!
Sweet people. I'm happy they found each other, and themselves as individuals.
Beautiful couple... Thrilled they have each other for all these years! Nice!!!
How dare ANYBODY thumbs down Phil Donahue & Marlo Thomas?! They still got it!
Felix Brown I actually just accidentally gave a thumbs down, not quite awake enough-great book and video. I gave another Thumbs up!😊
Felix Brown , i agree with you, i met Marlo in Chicago for a book signing for St. Jude she was beautiful. i have That Girl on DVD
I agree ❤
Take some time to get to know someone before you marry them. Those things about them that bug you from the start are going to drive you crazy a few years from now. Pay attention to how that person talks about and treats their parents, strangers, children, and animals. That's going to give you tremendous insight into how they are going to treat you later on.
Soo true !
true
I have men around me who live around me invading my privacy. Because they have money and power. This is not a fair situation with which to judge me in.

@@barbarabrennan1753 What?
God they’re adorable! I’ve never married and never will but I were married I’d like a marriage
Like Phil and Marlo.
I was so sad when Phil's show ended.
Me2
Me too. Was never replaced by anyone else
My paternal grandma watched Donahue every day. When I stayed with her during many Summers, that was a definite must do. ❤️😊
Me too. I really think that show opened my eyes to so many important ideas.
th-cam.com/video/FUjLpZ8bZNg/w-d-xo.html Yes when he talk about about muhammad ali
I recently cancelled satelite tv and now have an antenna. "That Girl" show is on Antenna TV. I love it. I watch just to see what she is wearing. Her body was perfect and everything looks great on her. She dressed so classy, not trashy like people dress today. They still dressed up in 1966. She had the perfect life. I think a lot of people forget her show about a single woman living alone was before Mary Tyler Moore show.
It is a Blessing to share your life with a person who loves you unconditionally.
U both r s so lucky to find each other. Wished my marriage lasted.
I am a senior alone, but happy. Wished I had what u have..
God bless both of u!!
I am right along w you! As a young bride, I thought we would always be together Twenty years later I learned that was a great fairytale. Then he passed away. The next one lasted last 10 years, we were divinely happy, then I found out we weren’t as happy as I thought. Talk about stars in your eyes at 50yrs old! The next one helped me go thru all my money. I decided to find happiness in being on my own. For the most part is has worked and now at 84, I could never see myself with anyone!
They’re so lucky to have found each other! ❤ I pray that one day, I meet my true soulmate.
Great story, great couple, great romance.
Dennis Morris--It's a pity that he didn't apply that sage advice to his FIRST marriage of 17 years and 5 kids.
I don´t believe Mr. Donahue´s former wife was part of this story, and so I would reserve any opinion until I see a story where her perspective on the matter is presented. I do agree with you generally that divorce is a very difficult and sad event for all concerned.
@@dennismorris7573--You missed the point. You don't give marital advice about how to make a marriage work when you've walked out on your first wife with five small children so you can have your mid-life crisis and trawl for a "celebrity" wife who brings money and no children to the mix then or ever. Marlo Thomas is a piece of work...she just about broke her father's heart. Now she's managing the St. Jude charity and I will not longer donate to it while she's heading it or part of it.
@@onemercilessming1342 I understand you have strong opinions regarding Mr. Donahue´s and, I see, also of Ms. Thomas´ relationship with her father (BTW I have been fans of both since my mother introduced me to the talents of Danny Thomas, and of St. Jude for that matter - I also gave when I could), but are these not personal matters that are better left for the parties involved to explain, if they so choose? That is my point.
@@dennismorris7573--I really don't care about your toadyism. I have stated mine and some of us have better memories and are less easily swayed by emotions than you are.
I remember watching his show when I was a kid and when they met!!Still a cute couple!!🧓👩
Me too. He lived in my neighborhood in Dayton. Then he went to Chicago
I remember that too. Those sparks flew! You could feel it through the TV. I was at my great-grandmother's house. She said, "He's going to marry her." Yup Grandma Mary was right.
We stopped in Disney World on our Honeymoon in 1976 and Phil was doing his show outside. We noticed Marlo in the audience...later we knew why! I think we even have the picture from that day. God Bless them and Happy 40th!
The real deal. Notice how Phil just lets Marlo TALK, no correcting, no waiting for what he wants to say.
She pulls that stunt on multiple other videos. i say STFU Marlo
Cute couple. They seem well matched.
I'd bet real folding money that she gets her way 90% of the time. Congrats to Marlo and Phil.
Keep it full bore, Marlo and Phil!!! :) :)
Yes !
I would bet that as well.
Yes...she didn't let him get a word in!!!
Yes she's a blabbermouth
A success secret? Allow each other to have and fullfill individual goals. Mine failed because my husband criticized and belittled everything I tried to do. I am now divorced.
Ouch. I'm sorry.
My ex husband was a control freak. He criticized me in front of my daughter and he was a hypocrite. Lost respect for him. Sad
@@cheri7054 I hate guys like that. I used to be somewhat of one, myself. My dad as well.
I always loved Marlo Thomas, to me she was Ann Marie, the kooky but smart wanna be actress with a heart of gold as portrayed on the fabulous 60's sitcom ...That Girl. Always wanted to see her and Donald Hollinger together, they were the cutest tv couple. Loved marlo's record ..Free to be you and me, years later. Marlo is a lovely caring and passionate person, so nice to see the happiness she shares with her husband Phil Donahue....Happy 40th anniversary on may 21st to you both....❤❤
Their love is contagious. I grew up watching both entertain as individuals back then. Even was a 3x audience member of Phil's show. Blessings
Loved Meeting Phil & Marlo, They're such Real People!
It's also very odd the book doesn't profile the marriage of Jane Pauley and Garry Trudeau, both of them still on their first marriage and still together after 40 years. I don't think it is hard to figure out why it has lasted. They didn't do the early marriage nonsense with Pauley around 30 and Trudeau around 32 when they married in 1980. They also have separate interests and unrelated careers so they bring in a lot more to the marriage than people without. It doesn't hurt they were each rich when they married, so they didn't need the financial "security."
Never knew Jane married a Trudeau
She's beautiful & he's wicked smart!
Um...how about "THEY are beautiful & THEY are wicked smart! (Otherwise, in due respect, you miss the point of their interview.) ;->
Alice Kane No I didn't ! He's wicked smart for marrying her! Everyone knows she's wicked smart!
@@johnlaughlin6167 :-D OK. Understood ;->
How do you know she won't shut up for 10 seconds
Love them both! I watched Phil back in the day...full of energy on his show, running around in the audience. THAT GIRL was so progressive....always watched the repeats! Nice to see them doing so well!
That girl was so progressive? Progressive is a dirty, dirty word these days. Come to think of it, a progessive would have no trouble bedding down with a married man with kids would they? She never let him finish a sentence. So yea, she is progressive.
What a delightful couple 💓
Phil used to run around in his audience & get all differant types of opinions.
Yes he did, I remember that.
George Morris he was truly fair and balanced. His shows whether you agreed with the guest or not, always left you more educated and inspired. There was never any hatred and division like today. You simply looked at another view through someone else’s eyes.
We need the liberals of today to not cancel anyone who disagrees with them!
Have loved them both for over 40 years....thank you! Blessings!
Omigod, I miss him! I watched him religiously when I was old enough to do so. They are so cute, a perfect match.
The Donehue show was a great show that had lots of topics, we take for granted today. Feminism, gay rights, civil rights, and so many family issues that were not spoken of before the Donehue show. Phil was on at nine o' Clock every morning, and l would be drinking my coffee while watching this show. Those were the days. I saw the show where Phil and Marlo met, lots of chemistry between them. And they are still married! DOESN'T THAT BEAT EVERYTHING!!!!!!🌹🧠🍄🌺🌸🏵🌹🧠🍄🌺🌸⚘🌹🧠🍄🌺🌸⚘🧠🍄🌺🌸⚘💐💜🌹🧠🍄🌺🌸⚘💐💜💜💜💜🌹🧠🍄🌺🌸⚘💜💜💜💐💐💐🌹🧠🍄🌺🌺🌸🌸⚘⚘💐💐
GREAT to see Phil Donahue after so many years
My 34th wedding anniversary today!
Happy Anniversary Jay-Jay!!
@@mshockey73 Awwww, thank you Cheryl xx
Happy Anniversary
@@shannonduplechain8553 Oh thank you Shannon. Hope you are safe and well, wherever you are xx
Fabola! Mr. Donahue looks thrilled to have That (still beautiful) Girl tending to him. Compelling.
If she were "ugly," would it matter?
Two nice people, in this world,this is a grand compliment. From two nice people married 46 years. I watched both their shows.♥️
I grew up with them. It's hard to see them old 😥
She is 82 and he is 84.
Wow that's crazy.
I was just going to Wikipedia that
Wtf! Opening up YT and finding something new on Phil Donahue!! Damn I used to watch his show.
They look fantastic!
Wow! I had no idea! They make getting older look great!
Its funny how everyone always wants to know what to do to make a relationship work. George Burns was asked the same thing. They asked “what did u do to make it work” he said “we did nothing. Today’s couples always think too much bout how to make it work. Just be. Just live and that’s it” i agree. If you’re friends first and respect and like each other and communicate it’ll work. Period. It’s not the wedding, the ring, the ceremony, reception. None of those things matter. Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are still 2gether. They outlasted a lot of couples that walked down the isle. Love, respect, friendship, communication. If u don’t have that u have zip!
I just heard the voice behind the St Judes commercials and so I looked it up and found out it was Marlo. Great job woman. Thanks for being an advocate.
Love sure does look good on this loving couple. Congratulations on 40 years of being married and still being in love with each other.
They make television interviews look fun. Its great to see how their relationship evolved and continued to make their great exploration in the world of marriage.
I love seeing that 40 year old clip - still fresh, giving such HOPE! Mrs. Thomas- Donahue, your view of marriage, (w/ all of it's bumps), being " a cushion of life", is itruly inspired. What you do for families with sick children at St. Jude's, well there are no words. I only have enough $ to support 3 charities at the beginning of each year and your's, " ST." is one of them,. (the other two, deserve a nod: The Humane Society & The ON-J Cancer & Wellness Hospital in Australia, (also a unique, totally free, different focus on ages,), that, like your's ,I wish woild also catch on.
Good things only, good health to you both and to your family always.
What a beautiful story of love
While working for an airlines at O'Hare in Chicago in the 70s, I recall Phil escorting Marlo on the concourse during their "dating days!" Thanks for setting a good example!
Beautiful. I'm glad they are doing well.
I loved every second of this!!!
I had no idea Phil and Marlo were married to each other. They are adorable together!
Native-Kitty I didn’t either!!
I am thoroughly convinced that there are people, and probably a fairly large percentage of people, who should not get married. They have a character flaw that makes it inadvisable. It might be something like being too quick to anger or just preferring to be alone an unusable amount of time.
Anyone in particular? Ive had 15 years of stalkers. I have sick men who attach to me.
@@barbarabrennan1753 I was really referring in general to people who had minor character flaws or idiosyncrasies. Such people may not be suitable for marriage, and there are a lot of them and most of them are harmless and even pleasant. I was not necessarily referring to individuals who are deranged, though they do exist.
Why does it have to be a character flaw? I have a vet strong solitary bone and most certainly don’t consider it a flaw. I’m just sorry it appears you do.
@@glendagarcia6194 I was saying that there are people with character flaws that make it unadvisable for them to get married. I did not mention your name in that thought and I'm sorry you took it personally. I know a person who takes things personally when he clearly should not. He too lives a solitary lifestyle. I'm not sure it is entirely his choice.
Heather, my objection was not personal. It was in your use of the word flaw as opposed to a characteristic of that personality. Flaw means there’s something wrong in substance. There’s nothing flawed or wrong in being an introvert or liking alone time, but anger issues can, not always but can lead to violence. Two very different things. But I do agree wholeheartedly agree that there are people who should not marry, or at the least partner more carefully.
It jumped out at me. Why would you say a substitute teacher’s job is a job going nowhere? Is acting such a better profession?
A teacher's job is way more important. What a terrible thing for them to say.
It helped Marlo had connections to succeed as an actress. Acting isn't all that, and no, it isn't all that important.
It's a matter of opinion.
❤ thank you for reminding me what marriage is supposed to be. A blessing not a burden.😢
Marlo and Phil should have a talk show..maybe once or twice a week...they like each other a lot!
I remember watching the episode when they met. I can't believe it's been 40 years. Wow.
Marlo is amazing. Such a good and real person. Beautiful!
So happy to find this! The Phil Donahue Show was so fantastic, I miss it very much!
Beautiful couple. They both look absolutely great. Congrats to both of you. Enjoyed the interview very much.
~ 40 MORE ~
Love these 2.
" He ALWAYS asked what the viewer wanted to know. "
Lovely interview
Love them both
Wish she would have given him some space to speak as well
They are both so endearing and special humans
Awww, I miss Phil Donahue! He was the best! I miss his show.
They're cute together, but she hardly lets him talk.
Perhaps that is the point. Most men talk over their women!
I grew up on you both... I am glad to know the great between you both exist....wow two of my favorite people have been joined together...This made my day...Wow, much love to you both ♥️
What a wonderful interview. Many thanks for this.
Watching That Girl years ago had such a crush on Marlo.
Wow..two of my favorite people from childhood. Really.. I can feel their good love! Congratulations on 40 years of marriage!!❣💕🤭👍🙏👏🐈🎉
Great couple .. they are so good together .. and for the record he was already divorced when they got together .. and he and his ex-wife and Marlo were known for managing the blended family..
Great couple! So glad they met and got married. She does most of the talking in the interview, when does Phil get to talk 😄
That sounds like my husband. In the 24 years we've been married he's been my best friend, always makes laugh with lots love and much more.😊💕💖
Well it's very simple really. Marlo is the boss and Phil does what he's told. In their case it works.
Love these two!!! Both pioneers! Both great personalities who have shaped our World and how we view ourselves and others and the experiences that effect Us all.
Yea Alan Alda and his wife going strong! You can tell in his movies he is just a great man! His wife is very lucky!
Their two daughters were in a movie with them years ago, "The Four Seasons".
@@vivianpowell1732 Yes one of my favorites! I think Alan and Carol Burnett are the only major actors still with us from that movie.
@@teresacatherine3811 Rita Moreno, Len Cariou, and Bess Armstrong are still living. Jack Weston and Sandy Dennis have passed away.
@@vivianpowell1732 I think Cariou and Moreno have passed, but I could be wrong( I hope so). I also liked the movie Alan Alda was in where he is a college history professor and dates an actress that plays one of his favorite early american women figures. Cant remember the name.
@@teresacatherine3811 I checked twice before I ever replied to you about the actors. But I checked yet again, and Len Cariou (80 years old) and Rita Moreno (88 years old) are still living.
CONGRATULATIONS- thank you for being positive - in love - honest!
6:23 There was a tear in my eye when Donahue did this reunion segment and used my favorite theme-Don Grady's theme!
I always loved Marlo. Watched her show growing up, had her Friends tape, and played it a lot in my daycare. Thought she was always so beautiful and intelligent. She and Phil are a perfect match. They must have a lot of great and interesting conversations and fun together. Going to find their book! Polly, you ARE and EXCELLENT INTERVIEWER! You have a rapport with everyone you interview.
Phil does not seem his usual talk show self? Any one else notice SHE did most of the talking?
He may have some dementia going on....hes 84 now so it wouldn't be uncommon..
Phil obviously knows not to interrupt her
Their SOOOOO Beautiful 💕 Many years ago I watched Marlo riding a bicycle in Bar Harbor/N.Y.. I smiled at Her as She cruised by ; and She Smiled back ‼️ I have followed Her career and Phil’s too! May God 🙏 Continue to Pour Out HIS Glory on Them Mightily 🌈 Shout out from Florida ☀️ Stay Safe Beloveds ❤️

Phil was the ultimate communicator whom I've always enjoyed. There was one show in particular that I thought was the most outstanding TV anytime, anywhere..to this day. It was a 3 day segment if my memory is correct and it brought together the people of the US with the people of Russia. What I wouldn't give to see Phil do this one more time. That segment probably did more to start healing old wounds than any politician ever accomplished. Please Phil, come out of retirement one more time...your adoring fans are waiting with their fingers crossed.
Blessings to you both. .you're a beautiful couple ⚘
