That Girl: 1966-1971



Ann Marie, an aspiring (but only sporadically employed) actress, who moves from her hometown of Brewster, New York to make it big in NYC. Ann has to take a number of offbeat "temp" jobs to support herself in between her various auditions and bit parts, though she nontheless is able to afford a spacious Manhattan apartment as well as an extensive wardrobe of mod fashions. That Girl is the first sitcom to focus on a single woman who is not a domestic or living at home. Some consdier this show the forerunner of the highly successful Mary Tyler Moore Show and Murphy Brown, and an early indication of the changing roles of American women in Feminist-era America. All the seasons are in color.


The series takes place in upscale New York City. The scenes mainly take place in her apartment, on the stage, and her dressing room. They also take place around the city.



Ann is an extremely upbeat and inspired woman. She learns to juggle a job and a relationship at the same time. She is also a very young woman, but has a high profile job (in comparison to Hazel, who is older and a maid). When she gets this job, she is extremely excited and yet nervous at first. She is a thin, young woman with dark hair flipped up at the ends and with bangs.
Donald Hollinger is Ann's boyfriend. He really cares about Ann and is so happy for her when she gets this acting position. He supports her 100% and always knows how to comfort her. He is a tall man with light brown hair.

Lou Marie is Ann's concerned f
ather. He truly cares about Ann going out into the world and trying to get this job. He still worries even after she gets hired. After her first day at work, he comes over to her apartment to make sure his daughter is safe.
As for the YouTube videos, there are absolutely none. We loo
ked everywhere, and information on this show is extremely limited. We did, however, get the series from the school library.
