Ms. Thomas's creat ion —single working girl Ann Marie\, who lived on her own and was avoiding marriage\, much to her father's dismay—became a role model for a new gene ration of women searching for independence and their own careers. This ach ievement is even more remarkable given the climate of the time (1966)\, wh en she created and sold her concept to network television. Paving the way for Mary Richards\, Murphy Brown\, and other iconic women's roles to come\ , Ms. Thomas's character helped to ignite a seismic cultural change\, chal lenging female stereotypes and reshaping the way women's roles were percei ved on television and in society. \n \n\n\n \n\n\n As part of the series I conic Characters\, a collaboration between the Comedy Hall of Fame and Mus eum of the Moving Image\, this special program celebrates and examines the creation and legacy of That Girl with the remarkable Marlo Thomas in conv ersation with Gloria Steinem and Debra Messing. A best-selling author\, ti reless activist and 20th Century icon\, Steinem has for five decades trium phantly led the march toward gender equality\, carrying her mission to wom en around the globe. Debra Messing\, who shot to popularity in the long-ru nning TV series Will &\; Grace\, is currently appearing in NBC's The My steries of Laura. \n\n\n \n \n Tickets: $25 ($15 Museum members at the Fi lm Lover\, Dual\, and Family levels / free for Silver Screen members and a bove). \; \n \n This event is sold out.
