Hey, this is Anna. I want to remind you that all this month, our episodes are about life after 60 in America right now. If you missed our last episode, check it out. Listeners from around the country shared very real stories about their relationships, friendships, what they value, and what they've let go. It's guest hosted by Joanne Allen, and if you are not over 60 yet, take a listen and then send that episode on to someone in your life who is over 60.

We have a special link to do that at death, sexmoney.org slash aging.

Yes.

My girlfriends would say, oh, he won't marry me in heaven.

And I thought, everybody's, not everybody, but many men that I went out with asked me to marry them.

And I really think it's because I didn't want to get married.

I think if I had wanted to get married, nobody would have asked me.

This is death, sex, and money.

What a absolute mess.

And Marlow at the time was following in the footsteps of her famous actor father, Danny Thomas.

She was starring in and producing the TV show That Girl, a sitcom about a single aspiring actress living in New York.
