85-year-old Marlo Thomas and Elaine May, two remarkable women in the entertainment world, share more than just a professional bond; they have a timeless friendship that they recently showcased in their social media posts. These ladies have graced the screen together and enriched each other's lives with a genuine camaraderie that's heartwarming.

Co-stars and More

Born in 1937, Thomas is known and loved for her role in "That Girl." On the other hand, May is a multi-talented American artist whose career spans back to the 1950s. She's a comedian, actress, film director, playwright, and screenwriter.

These two talented ladies aren't just friends; they shared the screen when they starred in "In the Spirit." In the movie, Thomas took on the role of Reva Prosky, while May starred as Marianne Flan. The movie's plot revolves around Flan, who embarks on a journey from Beverly Hills to a bustling, often chaotic New York City, driven by her husband's job loss.

Seeking to inject some vibrancy into her life, she hires the eccentric psychic Prosky to redecorate her apartment. However, their venture takes an unexpected turn when they find themselves on a retreat in upstate New York, fleeing from a relentless pursuer who is after their lives.

Recently, Thomas shared a heartwarming moment with her dear friend, May. The two celebrated their friend Julian Schlossberg's new book, "Don't Hold It Against Me," with a picture-perfect post. Fans couldn't help but compliment the duo, noting how great they looked. One fan commented, "You both look gorgeous," while another one quipped, "Still looking good, Marlo."

Marlo Thomas on the Spotlight

In November 2022, Thomas graced an interview with Sherri Shepherd. The conversation revolved around her new Hallmark movie and the significance of "Thanks and Giving" for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Some viewers, however, raised questions about her appearance, speculating that she might have had plastic surgery.

But this wasn't the first time such speculations had arisen. In a 2015 interview, an interviewer commented on her youthful appearance and questioned whether her secret was plastic surgery. In response to that query, Thomas said she had never had plastic surgery. She said:

"I have never had plastic surgery and wouldn't."

Unveiling the Secrets of Her Lasting Marriage

Thomas is married to her "best friend," Phil Donahue, and they have shared 43 years of their lives. In May 2023, they celebrated their anniversary. In a recent interview, she revealed the secret to their enduring love: the three L's — love, listening, and lust. According to Marlo, these are the keys to understanding each other, cherishing the bond, and maintaining the spark.

The couple even co-wrote a book sharing the secrets of a happy marriage. Their 43rd wedding anniversary was celebrated quietly and intimately. The couple spent their special day in each other's company, going to the theater, enjoying dinner, and taking a leisurely walk.

Thomas and Donahue first crossed paths in 1977 when she appeared on his popular talk show, "The Phil Donahue Show," which ran for an impressive 26 years. In an interview, she shared her thoughts about her husband.

She described him as a thinker who acts on his passions and conscience. When asked about her biggest regret and best decision in life, Thomas said she has no regrets. However, her best decision was getting married to Donahue, as they share love, respect, and a lot of fun.
