The Life of Sitcom Star Marlo Thomas

In 1984, she produced and starred in The Lost Honor of Kathryn Beck, a television movie centered on a woman whose life is affected by public suspicion and intense outside judgment. The project continued her move toward stories with social and psychological weight.

It also showed how she was using television movies to explore subjects more serious than the comedy that first made her famous. By producing as well as acting, she kept shaping the kinds of roles available to her.
