Jeff Fawsett: I've just watched the series That Girl, and I am simply captivated by Margo Thomas as Ann Marie. She is simply beautiful beyond words. I suppose wonderfully cute is just as appropriate.

I would love to meet Ms. Thomas and have a chance to know her today.
I'm also curious to know what her acting relationship was like with Ted Bessel. (December 22, 2020)Reply »
