Emmy-winning actress, producer, author and social activist Marlo Thomas will guest star in an upcoming episode of ABC's comedy hit "Ugly Betty" this fall. She'll appear as Sandra Winthrop, the owner of a large jewelry company with a penchant for younger men -- Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius) in particular.
