Friends vet Marlo Thomas is seen for FIRST time since her husband Phil Donahue died 8 months ago at 88
Marlo Thomas - who played Jennifer Aniston 's mother on Friends - has been seen for the first time since her husband Phil Donahue died in August. The 87-year-old brunette actress was spotted on the red carpet at the Family Equality's Night at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers in N ew York City on Monday. The iconic star from Michigan looked youthful with soft makeup and spring highlights as she wore a heart-shaped pendant around her neck. The That Girl! star modeled a long pale pink gown with black accents as she was spotted posing with pal Demi Moore. And Thomas - whose father was actor Danny Thomas - still had her gold wedding rings from Donahue on. The host of The Phil Donahue Show passed away at the age of 88 in August. He was surrounded by relatives, including his actress wife, at his home. She wrote on Instagram, along with a sweet photo of the pair riding a motorbike together on vacation: 'I'm sure by now you've heard the very sad news that I lost my sweetheart last night. 'I know you understand that I'll be stepping away from this page for a while to take care of myself and the many people who took care of Phil, and held him close to their hearts. 'But I didn't want to disappear without saying thank you for the beautiful messages of love and support that have been coming in all day,' the 86-year-old actress disclaimed. '[A]nd for the wonderful and generous way that you've let Phil and me share our life adventure with you over the years.' She continued: 'As a man who spent his career loving his audiences, Phil got such a kick out of our cozy little community [on social media], and I know he would be very touched by the heartwarming thoughts and memories you've been sharing. 'Until I return, I wish you good health and happy days in the company of family and friends, and I hope that you will continue to hold close those you cherish most, just as I was blessed to do with my beloved Phillip,' Donahue's second wife said. 'Love, Marlo,' she went on to sign, while sharing a vintage photo of the pair on a European holiday. 'P.S. This is one of my favorite photos of Phil and me,' she wrote. '[T]aken on vacation.' Countless comments offering words of consolation ensued, for a woman who had been married to Donahue for the past 44 years. The pair actually met on the set of his program back in 1977 - with Donahue the host and Thomas his guest. The two would go on to wed just three years later, following 'instant chemistry' felt by Thomas with the TV talker, she revealed in a 2015 post to Gacebook. 'Phil and I met on his talk show, 'Donahue,' in 1977,' Thomas, who continues to act and produce to this day, wrote at the time. 'He flirted, I giggled, and his TV audience watched us fall in love.' The couple would then marry in 1980, having five children. Meanwhile, the show went on, with Donahue hosting big names such as Bill Clinton, Muhammad Ali, Johnny Carson, Ayn Rand, and Nelson Mandela over the course of 16 more years on his seminal show. He would also go on to win 20 Emmys - 10 for outstanding host, and 10 for the overall show. Just last month, Marlo posted a more recent photo of the icon on Instagram, showing him on a farm in Canada feeding a horse. Unlike when he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Joe Biden back in May, he stood on his own accord with the aid of a cane, looking health and happy in the idyllic setting. The shot was snapped at least a year-and-half ago, during filming for Hallmark's A Magical Christmas Village, which featured Thomas as a star, The pair (seen here on the set of the Phil Donahue show) actually met on the program back in 1977 - with Donahue the host and Thomas his guest The actress remembered the occasion with a loving caption, writing to her 145,000 followers, 'Here's a favorite shot of Phil in the morning feeding the horses near the house where we were staying in Canada. 'A lovely way to start the day!' Tributes have since poured in for the fondly remembered TV personality, who set an example for figures as far-ranging Oprah Winfrey, Geraldo Rivera, and Sally Jesse Raphael with his approach to daytime TV. Winfrey - who is worth more than $3billion - famously said in 2002: 'If there had been no Phil Donahue show, there would be no Oprah Winfrey', and shared her own statement reiterating those sentiments on Monday. 'There wouldn't have been an Oprah Show without Phil Donahue being the first to prove that daytime talk and women watching should be taken seriously,' she wrote. 'He was a pioneer. I'm glad I got to thank him for it. Rest in peace Phil.' Donahue is survived by his wife sister, children, and grandchildren, all of whom were by his side when he passed.

US comedian and entertainer Ruth Buzzi dead at 88
Ruth Buzzi, who rose to fame as the frumpy and bitter Gladys Ormphby on the groundbreaking sketch US comedy series Laugh-In and made more than 200 television appearances during a 45-year career, has died at age 88. Buzzi died on Thursday at her home in Texas, her agent Mike Eisenstad said. She had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and was in hospice care. Shortly before her death, her husband, Kent Perkins, had posted a statement on Buzzi's Facebook page, thanking her many fans and telling them: "She wants you to know she probably had more fun doing those shows than you had watching them." Buzzi won a Golden Globe and was a two-time Emmy nominee for the NBC show that ran from 1968 to 1973. She was the only regular to appear in all six seasons, including the pilot. Born Ruth Ann Buzzi on July 24, 1936, in Westerly, Rhode Island, she was the daughter of Angelo Buzzi, a nationally known stone sculptor. Her father and later her brother operated Buzzi Memorials, a gravestone and monument maker in Stonington, Connecticut, where she was head cheerleader in high school. Buzzi enrolled at the Pasadena Playhouse at age 17. Two years later, she travelled with singer Rudy Vallee in a musical and comedy act during her summer break. That earned her an Actors' Equity union card before she graduated from the playhouse's College of Theatre Arts. Buzzi moved to New York and was immediately hired for a lead role in an off-Broadway musical revue, the first of 19 such shows she performed in on the East Coast. She was a semi-regular on That Girl as Marlo Thomas' friend. She co-starred with Jim Nabors as time-travelling androids on The Lost Saucer in the mid-1970s. Her other guest appearances included variety shows hosted by Burnett, Flip Wilson, Glen Campbell, Tony Orlando, Donny and Marie Osmond and Leslie Uggams. Buzzi guested in music videos with Weird Al Yankovic, the B-52's and the Presidents of the United States of America. She was Emmy nominated for her six-year run as shopkeeper Ruthie on Sesame Street. Buzzi was active on social media and had thousands of followers whom she rewarded with such one-liners as "I have never faked a sarcasm" and "Scientists say the universe is made up entirely of neurons, protons and electrons. They seem to have missed morons." She married actor Kent Perkins in 1978. The couple moved from California to Texas in 2003 and bought a 260-hectare ranch near Stephenville. Buzzi retired from acting in 2021 and suffered a series of strokes the following year. Her husband told The Dallas Morning News in 2023 that she had dementia.

Ruth Buzzi, who played a purse-wielding spinster on ‘Laugh-In,' dies at 88
Ruth Buzzi, famous for her work as handbag-wielding spinster Gladys Ormphby on 'Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In,' died Thursday, her family announced Friday. The actor was 88. 'Ruth Buzzi died peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas,' read the note on Facebook. 'She was in hospice care for several years with Alzheimer's disease.' Buzzi's husband of more than 40 years, Kent Perkins, announced in July 2022 that she had suffered 'devastating strokes' that left her bedridden and incapacitated. 'I am living with an attitude of gratitude for 43 years of marriage to my best friend, the greatest person I ever met, the one and only Ruth Buzzi,' he wrote at the time on social media. 'Her love for others knows no bounds, and she has spent a lifetime making people smile.' She could still speak, understand and recognize her friends and loved ones at that point, he said. Early Thursday he wrote on Facebook that Buzzi had 'asked me to thank all of you for being so good to her for so many years. She wants you to know she probably had more fun doing those shows than you had watching them.' The performer was born July 24, 1936, in Rhode Island and raised in Connecticut. She enrolled at the Pasadena Playhouse College of Theatre Arts, which was affiliated with Southern California's Pasadena Playhouse from 1928 to 1968 and had more than 5,000 students over the years. She was in every episode of NBC's 'Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In' (1967-73), where she honed her comedic role as a park-bench spinster, and was among many cast members to utter the line 'Sock it to me.' That came after Buzzi became a fixture on television in the late '60s with appearances on 'The Monkees' (1967) and 'The Steve Allen Comedy Hour' (1967) and a part on 'That Girl' (1967-68). 'You can't find anyone funnier than Goldie Hawn or Ruth Buzzi or Arte Johnson,' 'Laugh-In' creator and executive producer George Schlatter told The Times in 2019. Buzzi herself told The Times in 2011 about working with John Wayne on the variety show. 'John Wayne loved us so much. He would do just about anything you would ask him to do. He did one sketch where he was Gladys' husband,' she said, referring to her famous spinster character. 'They had me wearing a little bitty cowboy hat and little bitty guns. I had to hit him, and I kept hitting him waiting for them to say cut. I turned around and said, 'Please, I don't want to hit this man.' It was so funny they put [the aside] in the show.' Among her more recent acting credits were the 2009 film 'City of Shoulders and Noses,' 'Fallen Angels' (2006) and multiple episodes of 'Passions' (2003), and she played Suzie Kabloozie in 86 episodes of 'Sesame Street.' Her final credit came in 2021 when she played Agnes in the movie 'One Month Out.' This story is developing and will be updated. Former Times staff writer Lauren Beale contributed to this report.
