That Girl - Marlo Thomas

One of my favourite television shows as a kid was 'That Girl' staring Marlo Thomas. It's been released on DVD and I'm addicted once again. I created these images of 'That Girl' with a focus on her her dark hair, thick eyelashes and the flat, bold colours typical of the 60's.
