He made the saddest comment... 4:32 And today Marlo is in the situation where the love of her life has left her. As George Jones used to sing, He Stopped Loving Her Today.
Vintage movie and TV fans will recognize the wonderful Cecil Kellaway. He was an all time great character actor who was terrific in any role he played.
@Rebecca Jenkin; Rebecca, Yes, this was a 'sweet show', sit-com=situation comedy, full of distorted ideas, concepts, Propaganda, with intentions a purpose to inDOCtrinate the public, viewers - just as the 'news', motion pictures and all media. Perhaps we are of similar age too. Certainly You must remember the "Norman Mailer" sit-com shows of the 1970's, how destructive they were, are along with these already established paths within TV, motion pictures, "hollywood", theater, media prior, during to this show and post since continuing with sever degradation which are intentionally 'leading, misleading, misdirecting, etc. too. Little we we aware of these affects - and more so today. it was during the 1980's with some good, proper information which began my awareness, influence of these 'liberal', 'progressive', 'modern', ideas which permeate Our society, lives, 'gov't', 'politics', 'parities', businesses, corporations, medical, universities, schools, education along with the central "Elite" which direct, dictate, control all of these. This character of "Andrew Washington" represents the older standards which were more conservative, yet still already distorted, from within the "Elite". Sincerely
Just finished watching the entire episode! Don't remember this in prime time but this was one of the best episodes! Marlo"s acting was so sweet and she was less hyper not that her hyperactivity ever bothered me because I think they wanted her that way! Wish I could tell her personally but I was smiling when the episode finished! Arlene Golanka and Cecil so good too!
That's a beautiful dress and she looks so pretty! Amazing how many up and coming stars appeared on her show and this older man is no exception! Cecil Callaway?
Really interesting guest stars on this episode. Mr. Washington (Cecil Kellaway) and Eddie (Jessie White) were both costars in the epic movie "Harvey" with James Stewart and the messenger was played by Joe Besser of Three Stooges Fame.
Yese these are some well known actors. as within many of the episodes of the past, present then, some rising, 'up and coming' and yet to be known too. The more important aspects are the characters, portrayals, stories, plots, with the intended ideas, concepts to direct, influence, inDOCtrinate the public, viewers.
thank you! I knew they looked familiar, and I remembered Jessie White also played with Danny Kaye in On The Double. "Harvey" was a hoot! and both actors were great in it.
Bittersweet, yes, it sure was. He made the saddest comment... 4:32 And today Marlo is in the situation where the love of her life has left her. As George Jones used to sing, He Stopped Loving Her Today.
i love her outfits so elegant and pretty i had a patient like this always wanting to buy gifts it’s not only against the rules you can’t accept as some dementia patient can’t remember giving stuff away a great episode
Yea it's silly, seems like their together all the time n the parents finally were fine, can't understand why it took so long for them to get engaged or even not get married 😏 the story line to I dream of jeanie n many years later Nanny Fine were different story lines n marriage would have changed interest as it did but for " that girl" wouldn't have mattered at all.
Cecil Kelloway was a distinguished actor, who also played a friend of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracey's in the great film, "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner." Just like Andrew Washington in this episode, his character in the film was adorable, sweet, and kind. Probably type-casting in both cases.
Ann had integrity and moral character, to decline Andrew Washington's generous gifts. That is the kind of person we should emulate today. Mr. Washington had no hidden agenda, or ulterior motive, in bestowing those gifts on Ann.
Kellaway played many different roles over the years, normally as a character actor although he wanted to be the lead. He was nominated for two supporting actor roles (including Guess), but I always think of him for a different role, as the husband who gets bumped off by Lana Turner and John Garfield in "The Postman Always Rings Twice." And he was no spring chicken in that movie that was made 20+ years before this episode. Kellaway was 47 years older than Marlo Thomas.
I don't care if it was the '60s and that this was just a sitcom, but it's very disturbing that Marlo Thomas would ever allow the character she plays to be so welcoming to a man (15:13) who, in a previous episode, attempted to sexually assault her in that same apartment.
You are apparently referring to season 2 episode 20, in which the actor Jesse White played a different part, a producer having a different name than that actor played in this episode. So Marlo Thomas' character's virtue remains intact.
Not at all. From the very first interaction, we clearly see how deeply respectful he is... 1:38 - He shifts from - I insist, to - Please let me insist. At every step afterward, the only reason you see him as "forcing" is because at his level of wealth, his standard for showing appreciation is simply much higher than what you or I to Ann Marie or Donald can relate to. When Ann refused the gifts, he took them back. The bracelet. The coat. The only gift she kept was the one she asked for. He was so deeply considerate of her reputation that he even checked with her to see if she was concerned about neighbors seeing him walk out of her building. He only did so with her approval. 23:40 Quite the gentleman. That's how I see him.
True. True. And Marlo Thomas remained a virgin until she met Phil Donahue. (BTW: The Tower of Pisa doesn't really lean; we all just have Italian vertigo.)
Mary Tyler Moore was an early advocate for respecting animals. With Marlo's intense activism, I'd be very interested to hear her talk about when she herself turned the corner when it came to fur. For America in general, that shift happened quite abruptly between the late 80s & early 90s. I would not be surprised to learn that Marlo was ahead of this curve. But if instead I were to learn that she still owns fur to this day, I would be shocked.
Marlo is so good in this episode and funny! Her dialogue with Cecil is so well done!
He made the saddest comment...
4:32

The old Mr. Washington is a great actor.
I watched this program with my parents when I was a very little girl. Sweet show.

Hi Mark,I hope to meet you one day ❤❤❤!
ASAP!
❤
Hyper is a good word to descibe her.
I loved this episode. Such a sweet old man!
I don’t understand why Don didn’t ask Mr Washington for an interview. That’s why they were at that party.
That's a beautiful dress and she looks so pretty! Amazing how many up and coming stars appeared on her show and this older man is no exception! Cecil Callaway?

Arlene Golonka was a regular on Mayberry RFD. She also appeared on MASH.

The dress in opening scene at party AWESOME.
This may be the bitter-sweetest episode in the series, imo.❤💔❤️
i Love this episode, Marlo Thomas was Ann Marie,i have a That Girl doll with Ann holding her flag
Bittersweet, yes, it sure was. He made the saddest comment...
4:32
And today Marlo is in the situation where the love of her life has left her. As George Jones used to sing,

i love her outfits so elegant and pretty i had a patient like this always wanting to buy gifts it’s not only against the rules you can’t accept as some dementia patient can’t remember giving stuff away a great episode
I really don't understand why she keep referring to Donald as a friend instead of a boyfriend every time she's with other people
Yea it's silly, seems like their together all the time n the parents finally were fine, can't understand why it took so long for them to get engaged or even not get married 😏 the story line to I dream of jeanie n many years later Nanny Fine were different story lines n marriage would have changed interest as it did but for " that girl" wouldn't have mattered at all.
I know, and Anne has gone on many dates with other men for various reasons…Donald is a saint
in those days you used the word friend my grandma always said friend. it was more proper
It was normal to call your lover friend in those days, and it was also acceptable to go on dates with other people if you weren't engaged yet
I remember wanting a That Girl kite like she flys in the intro theme song.
On these sitcoms everyone always shows up in the main character's home.
Ann Marie represents the person I wish I was
love that white sleeveless dress
If it humors the guy, keep the coat and wear it when he comes to town. (The diamond bracelet would have been nice "investment".)
Just loved her clothes I would wear most all of them
Good catch! Did not get that. Oh, Cecil. Darling.
Cecil Kellaway plays the rascally father to Vivien Leigh's character in 'I married a witch', a favorite movie.

Eddie the agent was a gangster on Green Acres ep, when Lisa and Oliver went to a farming convention.
Fun Fact: The bonded messenger was Joe Besser...one of comedians to step in for the late Curly Howard of the Three Stooges fame.

@@oldironchops White played this Eddie character after the producer episode and he did indeed make advances to her in her apartment in that episode.
I think the show producers were hoping to have Jessie White as a recurring character on the show. I don't think it quite worked though.
Five years these two dated and not once did they sleep together….was that what the 1960s were like?
Give me the bracelet..LOL
Jessie White had the market on comical shady characters.
He wouldn't accept NO for an answer. Forcing himself into her life.
Not at all.
From the very first interaction, we clearly see how deeply respectful he is...
1:38 - He shifts from

Quite the gentleman.
That's how I see him.
@@dahawk8574 I agree with your character analysis of Mr. Washington. Spot on.
Why was Jerry's wife on a date with Ann's old agent
The one who played Eddie’s wife is Arlene Golanka who also was in The Andy Griffith Show and The Mary Tyler Moore show. She didn’t play Jerry’s wife.
Oops Cecil was already a major star! Sorry!
Thou still unravished bride
True. True. And Marlo Thomas remained a virgin until she met Phil Donahue. (BTW: The Tower of Pisa doesn't really lean; we all just have Italian vertigo.)
Too bad Ann didn't even try on the mink. It was the perfect color for her!
Mary Tyler Moore was an early advocate for respecting animals. With Marlo's intense activism, I'd be very interested to hear her talk about when she herself turned the corner when it came to fur. For America in general, that shift happened quite abruptly between the late 80s & early 90s. I would not be surprised to learn that Marlo was ahead of this curve.
