Marlo Thomas's Fascination With Tradition
Marlo on being raised by Italian and Lebanese grandmothers, marrying an
Irishman … and what she loves about culture and traveling.
In response to: Do you identify with a certain heritage, culture or religion? If so, is there a particular tradition that you practice?
I grew up with both Italian and Lebanese grandmothers who gave their grandchildren a rich legacy of their backgrounds with delicious food and sweet family rituals. When I married my Irishman, I picked up a few more. I find the traditions that are passed on by different cultures ever fascinating. It’s one of the features that makes traveling so interesting.
