Both host Phil Donahue and guest Marlo Thomas were awkwardly fumbling and flirting during his show in 1977. Imagine falling in love and the whole world sees it, not only as it happens on TV, but on videotape forever after. The two wed in 1980 and enjoyed a 44-year marriage. Donahue died today at age 88. Rest in peace, and condolences to Marlo. (via Metafilter)

I sat next to Donahue on a flight. He power pounded beers as fast as he read opinion columns. Upon landing, he pulled a bindle of coke out of a pocket to check on it.
He had no choice, she was cuter than legally allowed in 41 states. Oh and her daddy was rich and connected.

Her daddy was an entertainer and gave all his money away, Bruce.
