Marlo Thomas starred in the 1960s TV series That Girl and she will look familiar to fans of the 1990s hit show Friends, as she played Rachel Green's mother.
Ms. Thomas developed the idea of That Girl, and was involved with its production.
Sometimes people speaking about her would say, with a little bit of awe, "She is Lebanese."
Her father, born Amos Muzyad Yaqoob Kairouz, in Deerfield, Michigan, grew up in Toledo, Ohio. His parents were immigrants from Lebanon.
Going into show business, Mr. Kairouz changed his name to Danny Thomas.
