Video description: A beloved and landmark television series ? and the first to spotlight a young female character taking charge of her life ? "That Girl" premiered in 1966 to both critical acclaim for the show, and instant stardom for actress Marlo Thomas. Also serving as the show's producer, Thomas set out to create a new and revolutionary role for prime time women, proving that they could be strong and independent -- and happily single. The gamble paid off: Over the course of five funny, adventurous and fashionably fabulous seasons, effervescent wannabe actress Ann Marie (Thomas) progressed from a naive young girl who dreamt of becoming a star to a smart, confident woman who could stand up to her parents and become engaged to her boyfriend on her own terms, and never ? ever ? lost her sense of identity. Set against the backdrop of a glittering, ever-swinging Manhattan, the long-awaited, historic first season of the series (1966-67) is now coming to DVD.

Howard Spence (Sam Shepard) has seen better days. When he was younger he was a movie star, mostly in Westerns.

After yet another night of debauchery in his trailer, Howard gallops away on his movie horse in full cowboy regalia--fleeing from the film and his life. He soon arrives in Elko, Nevada, the place that he ran away from years before and where his 80 year-old mother (Eva Marie Saint) still lives. Mom tells Howard that more than twenty years ago a young woman called her up trying to locate Howard and she figures that the girl was pregnant. This child, now an adult, could be a ray of hope, a possible salvation from Howard's narcissistic and meaningless life. Meanwhile, the film shoot that Howard has abandoned is in chaos over his absence and the insurance company hires a private detective (Tim Roth) to find him.
