Marlo Thomas..."Free to Be You and Me." Did any grow up with this?
and, if so did Marlo Thomas "sell you false info" or have you lived close to what her little show and songs advocated?

Was she important in your childhood?

3. I loved that
As I recall, it was a tad over the top, but I still really liked it. Now that I'm a mom I'm not so fond of heavy-handed didactic kids programs like that. I always think, "Let the kids just be kids!"

7. Whoa! I loved her in that role!
There is ABSOLUTELY NO sarcasm here. I mean it!

Damn, she has always been a wonderful person, a wonderful actress, and a personal favorite of mine.

Sorry if it seemed I was being sarcastic. I am not that dead-pan.
