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 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.

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.

💥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 ❗❗❗👍👍👍👍👍👍💥

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.

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'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."

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!

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.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE SEEING TWO OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE NOW, IN THIS INTERVIEW! I loved Marlo In "THAT GIRL", AND LOVED DONAHUE! I RARELY MISSED EITHER OF THEM! PLANNED MY DAY, SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO MISS DONAHUE!! (BEFORE RECORDING ON VCR'S WERE A THING!!) I EVEN GOT TO HAVE MY OWN PERSONAL PHOTOS OF ME WITH DONAHUE, WHEN HE CAME TO SOUIX CITY IOWA, BACK IN EARLY 80'S! I ASKED IF SOMEONE WOULD TAKE PICTURES OF US TOGETHER, AND HE GRACIOUSLY AGREED AND THEY DID SO!! I WAS THRILLED! I WAS HAPPILY MARRIED, SO I WAS JUST A VERY DEVOTED FAN OF HIS! I"LL NEVER FORGET IT! I ALSO PLANNED YEARS LATER TO SEE MARLO AT THE BROADMORE HOTEL, WHEN I WAS LIVING IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO, BUT MARLO HAD A SKI ACCIDENT, INJURED HER LEG, AND COULDN'T DO THE APPEARANCE!! LOVE THESE TWO, AND SO HAPPY THEY HAVE EACH OTHER, AND I EVEN SAW THAT FIRST APPEARANCE ON HIS SHOW, WHERE SHE MADE HER " NOW FAMOUS " STATEMENT TO HIM "HOW LUCKY THE WOMAN IN HIS LIFE IS"!!! AWESOME! THANK YOU FOR THIS INTERVIEW WITH THEM!! I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THEIR BOOK, OR THEIR VIDEOS , INTEND TO BUY THE BOOK AND SEE THEIR VIDEOS!! THANKS!

@@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.
