Ask any common folk who has dealt with her "PAUL"#50 and I can tell you they'd say the same. What are you one of her confidantes or her family. Please you don't fool me, Marlo always was is and will be a spoiled rich bitch who shuns the working class. SHAME ON ANY ONE WHO DEFENDS "THAT BITCH"

Did she and Donald get married? I thought they were perpetually date/engaged?
Anyway, I LOVED that show. She was so beautiful. Still is. I remember when she
and Phil (also one of my fave shows) flirted on his show. Great couple. Best to all.

"Paula 49&51" don't me a diva, you ass kisser, why so quick to defend marlo is this really Phil D. Even if I went to Aussieland I am sure I'd find someone there who has met and hates her. So stop your brown nosin and hey Kathy Griffin is available for adornnment, you idiot.

Oh, and by the way, the fact that I have dealt with the witch on a professional basis and saw how poorly she treated others . So for you stupido's who think just because someone seems NICE on TV doesn't mean they are kind otherwise. "Hey Paula" 49 & 51/ did you actually read some of the other postings here . I am not the only one who has seen her true colors. Come down off your pink pedestal and get a clue, marlo always was,is and will be (no redemption for her) 'THAT BITCH"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well I guess thats how Italians get a bad name, similar to the mafia stereo type. Besides she is only half. Italian.This has nothing to do with being IItalian you idiot. Why would you say such a stupid thing. Marlo was raised a rich Beverly Hills bitch and has tried to degrade the common folk. Get real, you never even met her I have!!!!! She trys to portray herself "free to be you and me" which is all a bunch of bull that she cares. She is the most self centereed celeb ever!!!

Finally some sense telling a star's true colors. I bet she through a fit till her parents got her that nose job. She prides herelf doing charity work, hmmm is there a cut of money for her, siitting on the board. I bet she has diva demands when she films their commercials. I don't like her, she acts to chirpy they are proboably right about her being mean.

Well, Marlo has had some cosmetic updates, but she's basically and naturally a beautiful woman, on the inside as well as on the outside. She's devoted to St. Jude's Hospital for Children and has stayed married for 28 years to that nice guy Phil Donahue. She has a happy life and that helps a person appear younger than what they are.

70? WOW! She has gorgeous skin. She could pass for 50 easily. Sure, she probably has skin treatments but they are affordable now for everyone and alot more people should look into them. Way to go, Marlo!
