That Girl, was an American television sitcom that aired on ABC for five season from September 8, 1966, to March 19, 1971. It starred Marlo Thomas as the title character, Ann Marie, an aspiring actress who moves from her hometown of Brewster, New York, to try to make it big in New York City. The show follows Ann as she takes a number of temporary jobs to support herself in between her various auditions and bit parts.
It was one of the first sitcoms to center on an unmarried woman who was not a domestic or living with her parents. Thomas advocated that the show focus on a young, modern woman focused on her dreams and aspirations - "You did not have to be the wife or the daughter of somebody or the secretary of somebody. You could be the somebody."
