Her husband was GORGEOUS! Her husband was Louie Bellson, who was white. They defied convention. He was engaged to someone else, met her and they married. Stayed married from 1952 to 1990, when she died. She was a great entertainer and he was a great drummer.

Pearl Bailey and David Merrick were scheduled as mystery guests for the same episode. He had never seen her before and was absolutely enchanted - so enchanted that it gave him the idea to revamp his long running 'Hello, Dolly' with an all black cast. We have a WML scheduling snafu to thank for Pearlie Mae playing Dolly Levi. 'House of Flowers' wasTruman Capote's only stab at lyricist.

Gentlemen rise for the ladies, even African-American women. This is no surprise. Some people in show business, were more open minded, than people in other professions. That is one thing I like about watching these old segments of What's My Line. All women, no matter what color, age, or religion, were treated with equal respect by the male panelists.

@wmlfan9 True. But they play it two ways. One way is that a member gets to ask 1 question and then, no matter if the answer is yes or no, the turn goes to the next member of the panel. The other way is that one member of the panel begins the questioning. As long as the answer is yes, that particular member of the panel may continue the questioning untill the answer is no, or, in this case, the identity of the guest is revealed.

This is a prime example of why the rules of the game needed to be changed. Pearl Bailey didn't even get to talk to the other panelists. The panelists were much too smart, and in many cases, the celebrity guests were guessed by one panelist without ever moving to the next one. Another example is the Rhonda Fleming episode, where Bennett Cerf knew quickly who she was but decided to pass it along so the other panelists would have a shot at it.

I'm not so sure. There were plenty of movies that were banned because the lead female was black and would have a white male interested in here. They had to make the actress of Pinky white because they didn't want to offended people by seeing a white man pursue her. Pinky was banned from some Southern Theathers as well as similar videos.
