Thomas also insisted that there would be no wedding episode of That Girl, even when it was pointed out that as the season's final episode it would be a huge boost for the program's ratings.
Her perspective was that the series was fairly certain to be canceled, and she thought having it end with the heroine's wedding would send the wrong message to young girls -- that marriage is the ultimate goal in life, and that a woman's story ends at the altar.
Thomas remains an activist for feminist causes, adamantly pro-choice, and a supporter of liberal candidates for office.
