My dad (Lee Vines) was the announcer for this show.

Betty White at 45. Gorgeous.

When Betty said that she thought one word and said another, what a perfect opening for Allen to say "I know: for a year you meant to say yes, but said no!" (To Allen's marriage proposals)

I forgot how beautiful Betty was back then. Stunning.

Betty White?… Never ceases to amaze me! Great person, amazing wit, great sense of humor… Amazing!

It’s 2020 & Betty still got her sparkle to this day. . She is beautiful inside & out

Betty is absolutely gorgeous 🥰

I wonder if Betty watches these old episodes and reminisces about her time with Allen. She sooooo loved him and never remarried after his death.

Betty White looks particularly pretty here.

I like the guy’s voice who announces the password - lol

Betty has that great Ladybird Johnson look!

What’s funny is that Betty and George Grizzard worked together years later on the Golden Girls. George played Blanch’s deceased husband George and George’s brother Jamie.

Interesting to me that George Grizzard would later guest star on "The Golden Girls" on two different occasions, some 20 years later. He played Blanche's late husband George (who apparently faked his death, only to find out it's all in Blanche's dream) in one episode, and in another he played George's twin brother Jamie.

I love Password and I love you Betty White!!!

Allen Ludden.....class act...100%

Most people just saw Allen Ludden.Only saw him on Password. He did parts on other shows like Love boat. He died much to young.

She was 45 here. She aged so beautifully! Goodness!

I was only 10 years old at that time which seems to just be a few years ago. To think that Betty is almost 100 years old, and still looking good, and going strong 💪. How time flies!!!

That big gorgeous smile and dimples as soon as you turn it on it. What a beautiful site. RIP Betty White! I love you so much! 1st lady of television.🙏🏽🕊😩💔😪

What a gal. RIP Betty.

Password was such a good game show

Wow, look at Betty White! I was 4 years old!!! LOL :) 8/29/21 According to the internet, she is still kicking at 99 years old!! AWESOME!!! :) Note, she was in her early 40's here, and for the record, she is older than "sliced bread"! ;)

I used to love watching Password as a kid.

My grandkids can’t wait to grow up and meet Betty White.

I met Betty White in the late 90s on a film set here in my city of Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦

Betty & Allen were married in 1963.

How gorgeous is Betty White at 45.

The contestant named Pat was a graduate student at Kent State Umiversity,vwhich less than three years later was the site of "four dead in Ohio", as Neil Young put it. Painful memories.

Allen Ludden married Margaret McGloin on October 11, 1943. She died of cancer on October 30, 1961. They had a son, David, and two daughters, Martha and Sarah. Betty White and Allen met in 1961 on the set of his game show, Password, when she appeared as a guest. He proposed to Betty White at least twice before she accepted. In 1963, the couple tied the knot two years after meeting. Betty and Allen were married for 18 years until Ludden passed away from stomach cancer in 1981. Betty never remarried. When Anderson Cooper asked White in 2011 why she never remarried, she replied, "I had the love of my life. If you've had the best, who needs the rest?"

Betty White is such a neat pretty lady. Loved her on the Golden Girl's.

Betty was about 45 here. And she was 55 playing suan Nevin s

I will say that for a lightning round password, "Creep" is probably 1 of the most difficult I've ever seen (although Betty - who I have now determined to be 1 of the best Password players of all time - gave it the old college try.

Pat was one of the sharpest Password players ever. It almost looked like she could mind read. 😮

As soon as I saw Attention I thought Achtung. Spot on Betty you are so clever.

Thanks for this. It was wonderful to hear from Betty.

Betty was SMOKIN' back then! Ludden was one lucky dude!...until 1980.

Storyline IS one word! And I was yelling it at the screen! LOL.

Every time I watch these old Password episodes, I ask myself this one question, "Is there a man inside that desk?"

It’s called “You Know I Can’t Hear You When The Water’s Running”

GOLLY she was just so cute!

What surprises me is Allen Ludden's wife of 18 years died of cancer in 1961 & he met Betty in that year & proposed the following year. Was he either unhappily married before or in a hurry to fill the gap his first wife had vacated.

Betty White is absolutely gorgeous!

Pat was a great player and so was George Grizzard.

I miss this show. And simpler , kinder times.

And to think that a couple of decades later Betty & George would costar together on Golden Girls

That woman, Pat, was GOOD!

💕love love password

Wow!! Rose and George Deveraux!!

.Would not have guessed Betty White was in her mid 40s here. Most people around this time looked older than their actual age. She actually looks younger than 45.

Betty White and Allen Ludden first met in nineteen sixty one on password the show Allen was hosting and for Allen how had just lost his two and half weeks after he lost his wife Margaret to cancer.

"Soliciting!" lol.

67?? Brewers yeast in 2021 is still around! Trippy

I love how Alan asks what Charlene's husband does. It was a different time!

So the Host was Betty White's husband.

Is this the first meeting of Betty White and Allen Ludden? They were married...he died and Betty was crushed. She never married again. Ahhhh love.

Then they did Golden Girls with Betty as Rose and George as Blanche's husband.

Beth is so good

love her

Man i always find myself rooting for Betty

pension isn't "dole"...you pay into it...

I never realized Betty White was such a fox. 😍

Love the hipsters in the studio audience.

Rip Betty 😢

*It's wirdt. I am Chilean and my language is Spanish. I know English maybe 30%, and I said in my mind two words who famous actrees said, these were hey! and listen!* 😮

Wow! Before the gray, Betty was fffine.

Bozeman, mt.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Is it me or is Alan trying to out do himself with his annoyances with '5 seconds, there it goes, right now' 3:53

Patricia Hill appears to have had a good life since.

Interesting, how George Gizzard played Blanche's husband in Golden Girls

She has the same hairdo today as she did 55 years ago!!!

I'm surprised it's not against the rules to use the direct translation of the word into another language. (Achtung)

Allen's hair is so punk. Or Flock Of Seagulls

17:33 cemetery ? Eternity. Well you can’t fight that. True.

Hmmm didnt know Rose Nylund and George Devereux played a game together

This is the age when Betty was in her prime...happy and gorgeous! ❤❤❤

Betty was so Sixties ...

Betty White and Alan Ludden were married!

Interesting how Allen Ludden said to Charlene Shrake, "I see you're married . What does your husband do?" Instead of what do you do. Sign of the times.

Betty was pretty

A legend.... But, when and why did she dye her hair blonde??

Who today would say "lullaby" in response to "Brahms"? George Grizzard was a great competitor.

How is saying the word in a different language not cheating?

Another episode with some dorky/low vocabulary people in the studio audience. The guy gave a very good clue ("Cemetary") for the Password "Plot" and some idjits in the audience laughed at it, thus making his partner think he had given a bad clue. He had given an excellent clue.

Didn’t George play Blanche’s late husband on Golden Girls???

0:46 Who's the lady hiding from the camera?

betty's hubbie is the host, allen ludden

George Grizzard's play had male frontal nudity in it!

with ed asner gone, betty is once again the last (wo)man standing. will she outlive her “hot in cleveland “ co-stars, too?

It would destroy the game if the partners on a team learned that they knew the same foreign language and gave the translations as the clues. But in this episode, "achtung" is not a direct translation of attention, although it was used that way to get someone's attention (or at least that's what the movies and television shows portrayed). The direct translation of "achtung" is "danger".

Woof, that audience...people have gotten much better looking over the decades.

What happened to America?Look how classy then!

Game mother watched trying to learn English.

Grizzard not Gizzard

Betty 's jealous

You know what I don't like about Betty? She's a good player, but I don't think I have EVER seen her say pass in the lightening round (I honestly think that if Allen never say, "Go the next word," she would go to the very end before saying it herself (even she she only had 100 points). I love Betty White, but that DOES drive me when she'd rather press on and try to get the word than win the game for the contestant

5:15 My first thought was Biden falling.

“I see you’re married what does your husband do” lol she’s on the show not him oh the 60s

Unreal Alan states 2 female contestant Charlene " I see ur married what does ur husband do? Didn't even ask abt her! Wow

Asking the married women what their husbands do for a living, instead of the women themselves...aggh.
