Marlo Thomas

Marlo Thomas' birthday was this past weekend.  She was great in Rankin/Bass' Cricket on the Hearth, with her father Danny.  A beautiful Bass/Laws soundtrack in that one too!  Marlo returned to Rankin/Bass in the ABC Saturday Superstar movie, That Girl in Wonderland.

From the 15th Anniversary book...

We added more Paul Coker, Jr. Variety ads...there is one in the Arthur Scrapbook too :)

Marlo Thomas starred in two Rankin/Bass Productions:  Cricket on the Hearth with her father in 1967 and That Girl in Wonderland in 1974, which aired on the Saturday Superstar movie.  I hope to be talking a lot more about Cricket on the Hearth this holiday season!  I always loved her songs in the special "Smiles Go With Tears" and "That Was Yesterday."  In recent years, Rhoda Mann (who also did a voice or two for Rankin/Bass and in the That Girl special) gave me a copy of That Girl in Wonderland with commercials.  One of the rarer Rankin/Bass productions :)

RANKIN/BASS' CRICKET ON THE HEARTH (1967)

This CD is always fun to listen to this time of year! I especially like the Maury Laws and Jules Bass song "Even a miracle needs a hand"
