Married 5 times.

They don't even make women like her today!!!

She was a "perfect 10" by anyone's standards.

My favourite .........

she should have been-she shone on this show-classy, intelligent, great wit and beauty in and out.

winterlandboy Haha! But she was just that... :)

hahahaahahhaahhhh,,yes

...and radio.

I'm with you there

exquisite!👍

She seems impossibly beautiful. Like someone drew that face.

Dana was a genuine goddess. I think one of the most horrifying moments in cinema was that famous scene near the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, when we discover that she had finally been taken over by the pod people. Kevin McCarthy's face in that scene said it all.

I chiefly remember the late Ms Wynter for her fine portrayal of Royal Navy officer Anne Davis in the classic war film "Sink the Bismarck!"

Jane Powell was just as pretty and Ms Wynter was too young to be aware to stand for a clergyman. I think she did well though since it's a pretty tight group

They had something rare in a marriage: They liked each other.

I don't give a shit.

He’s our shortstop!

@@keymaninmusic You might want to see a gastroenterologist about that.

I love it. She’s so natural and comfortable.

I was a child when I met Monsioner Behand before his death. He started one of the first TV live broadcast of a Catholic Mass at St. Andrew's Cathedral in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The broadcast has been going on for almost 65 years.

A great pity about “The Female Animal” which was so bad it seemed to end the film careers of all concerned.

@@davidallen508 Too true. Now days actors can appear in clunker after clunker and they just roll merrily on.

@@nankerphelge3771 , Then there was a final “clunker” for poor Jane ; “Enchanted Island” where she was the most unconvincing blue-eyed Polynesian you could ever hope to see.I love her most in “Hit the Deck” and “7 Brides” where she proved her acting skills in the scene following the abduction by putting Howard Keel well and truly in his place.Good on you Jane.

She didn't have a good taste in men however.

One of the most beautiful actresses in history. Like she was chiseled out of fine marble. Absolutely flawless.

Dana's charm is undeniable. Did you see her in "Fraulein"? Double wow!

Never heard of her until now but she is just gorgeous.

Best known for "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers". She was only 25 I think but a model of composure and intelligence.

She was in that fine film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956)

Look up "Sink the Bismarck."

She used to gust star on MANY regular TV shows such as--Manic, Peter Gunn, Dr Welty etc. ALWAYS gorgeous and talented!

Not anymore I'm afraid. She passed on September 16th 2021.

Any relation to Elrey?

I was searching for comments about her and I laughed because it was exactly what I thought and did! In fact Google did not do her justice at all! Her pictures were not as beautiful as she really was and then on top of it, she had such a great personality and her body movements were so glamorous I have no idea why she wasn’t a bigger star than she was!!!!

@@Schquirl Ditto. As a teen and ever since I've thought Ms Wynter perfect in every way. My all-time favorite.

There has never been a more beautiful woman.

In my opinion Daly was the one regular that was irreplaceable. Others could miss a show or two and it wasn't that much different, but when Daly was gone it was a totally different show. He was definitely the straw that stirred the drink.

Jeff Vaughn Personally, I couldn't agree more!

What's My Line? -- Well, I think different kinds of shows needed different kinds of moderators/hosts. Alex Trebek is great on Jeopardy! but I'm not sure it would have been John Daly's forte if he'd done it. (For one thing, Alex has to rule on questions subject to the judges' reversing his decisions and I think the judges would reverse John Daly's decisions a lot given his lack of scientific knowledge.) On the other hand, no one had the gift of language the way Daly did, which included speaking extemporaneously in a humorous and witty way. I also like the fact that John Daly seemed to have a good time doing what he did for all those years from 1950 to 1967.

What's My Line? I too thought that Daly was replaceable when I first started watching the full episodes. Now I've come to respect him and realize not everybody can do the job he did.I do however believe that a big part of Daly success as moderator was that he knew the panelists personally as the show went on and there was a lot of friendly banter which added to the show, but I think mainly Daly was good at what he did.

Jeff Vaughn I'd have to disagree with that to a degree. There was something missing when each of them wasn't on. I agree that Daly was irreplaceable, but so was Arlene. She brought charm and fun to the panel. Dorothy brought her competitive nature. Bennett brought fun banter with John. For me, some of the episodes are boring without Arlene or either Bennett or Dorothy(Even though I'm not a big fan of hers). Also I don't think this guy was that bad for only hosting the show twice vs John's 8 years at this point? John wasn't that great at the beginning, but he was a huge part as well as Arlene, Bennett, Dorothy and some of the recurring guest panelist.

I suspect sixty years from now, people will have fun knowing MY FEELINGS on Hip-Hop music! I don't mind that Mr. Cerf dislikes rock&roll; what I find tiring is Mr. Cerf's affinity for broadcasting to the world his opinions on that genre.

@@TheCometHunter since you phrase "MY FEELINGS" this way , i'd answer that with "Not in a million years" 😉

Cancer I guess ?

I wonder if he ever succumbed to the demon Rock ‘n Roll and played it on his station 🤪

@@gilliankew He probably died along with his no Rock 'n' Roll radio program.

Too young. Lovely man.

+Jolar 70 I thought the same thing about Father Beahan. I found him very comfortable and affable. Actually, I would have enjoyed him more as the moderator than I did Mr. Fadiman. While Mr. Fadiman did a better job (he was smoother and a little more relaxed) on this second episode, I found his pacing tedious and his manner supercilious. While no one could match John Daly's wit and gracious charm, I found Father Beahan much more enjoyable to spend time with and his rapport with the panelists more comfortable than that of Mr. Fadiman.

No, only as a " father".

He was definitely a big fan

He was definitely a big fan

@@axiomist1076 Hahahaha.

The question & emphatic answer between Bennett and the Father regarding "Rock 'n Roll" was hilarious to hear today, a reminder of how conservative our nation still was during those nascent years of Rock.

Jeff Vaughn I couldn't agree more-- she was masterful at gauging audience reactions to seemingly casual, off-handed remarks. I've noticed Arlene using this trick regularly to get a lead on the line of the contestant.

+Jeff Vaughn She was as crafty and calculating as she was charming. Always amazed at her ability to deduce. A credit to the woman side of humanity in every way.

Good call. I kinda prefer Dana's looks, but Claire was wonderful. Especially in The Haunting.

Her real name was Dagmar Winter but she changed it to Dana Wynter and pronounced it 'Donna', as martin Gabel does here.

Claire Bloom has had a long career: most notably on Doc Martin as Martin's annoying mother!🤣

Arlene Francis was so full of grace and wit. Just a very classy woman. I wish women these days were more like her.

@@sevensolaris Alas, we're all over 85 and senile.

@@slaytonp hi

@@sevensolaris You said it, Lindon! re: Arlene Francis ... and Dana Wynter, too! No babes like that anymore, thanks to 50 years of "feminism."

@@fredericmartin7148 More like 50 years of drive-thru burgers and obesity.

Amazing eyes! A real sweetheart.

Could have been one of his sons. Roy's children all carried the Rogers name.

This is the first time I've seen her, and I was like, "Whoa! Who TF is she?! And how is it I never heard of her?!" Well, she had me mesmerized all episode long, and then I did a bit of research to find out the reason I didn't know her is because I've never seen her most famous work: the 1956 classic Sci-Fi thriller, "Invasion of The Body Snatchers". I'll have to watch that next time I come across it. She looks (and sounds) like a softer, I daresay, prettier Joan Collins. And that is saying a lot, because Joan was gorgeous!

Yes! Dana Wynter was one of the very most desirable babes who ever walked the earth, for all the reasons you mentioned. Such babes are in short supply now, virtually nonexistent, thanks to 50 years of "feminism."

@@Cosmo-Kramer It's a fair comparison. Joan Collins did look somewhat similar to Dana. As for who was more beautiful... oh man, I'd hate to have to make that choice. Both of them were goddesses.

Yeah you and a billion other guys. Including me.

Me too! I saw her film, "Fraulein" and was smitten. Didn't realize it was the same actress that was in Body Snatchers. What a doll! Ach, du Lieber!

Good one 🤪🤪

If Fadiman said that he would be my hero, that would be an amazing comeback!

@@c0mputer Upon reflection - the things we could have said.

Good one, Neil. Bennett would have loved it.

🤣

+John Tomasello Would this have been the Carousel Theatre in West Covina? Circa 1964 or 65?

+corner moose '...Theater's official premiere is this Tuesday with "My Fair Lady," starring Jane Powell, Michael Evans and Reginald Gardiner.' -- www.newspapers.com/newspage/53497814/ So I assume it's Gardiner...

@@waynehowell6160 M8

Yes, Dana was German and Dagmar was her real name. A rare beauty.

My 2 favorite Dana Wynter movies are,Sink the Bismarck (1960) and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956),😊.

I second that motion. I can't get enough of her.

I really like Fadiman as a personality, I just don't think he was great filling in here. In my opinion, he took too much time telling his stories, entertaining though they were. And no one can split semantic hairs like John Daly can!

What's My Line? I think he was awful just because he tried to be funny and charming and just wasn't. He really talked down to all three regular panelists. The pace of the show threw him way off.

What's My Line? He never came back after this. That's really a negative sign that he gave a poor performance, unlike Mr. Andrews, who was also a guest panelist AND a guest host.

Ryan Schroer Of the three guest moderators I have seen, Eamon Andrews was the only one who was able to run the game seamlessly, perhaps due to his experience on the UK version. I'm sure everyone thought Bennett would do a fine job, but, unfortunately, he surprised us.

He did?

it is really addictive,everyone says so!

Yes, it’s not just you, portugasque! After watching 2 shows (maybe even one!) almost everyone gets addicted to this charming show from yesteryear! And after 17 years of programming, there are plenty of shows to fuel our addictions! But, hey, if this is your only addiction, you’re not doing too badly in life! I don’t have to explain to the addicted as to why we are all addicted, but the show is THAT good! I guess just a few adjectives that could be used to describe it would be that this wonderful show was and is highly entertaining, pleasant to watch, intriguing, and even educational! I have learned so much about many entertainers that my mom used to mention while I was growing up, whose names I heard, but whom I knew little of, with some of whom I’d never seen before viewing on this show! What’s My Line actually causes me to wish that I had been born in my parents or grandparents time! It makes me feel so nostalgic! If you had divided this show’s timelines into quadrants, I was born during the time of the last quadrant of WML. I’m really grateful that these were uploaded, and in fact, one evening about three years ago, when I had crawled into bed after a long day at work, and having to go back to work the next day, I was in need of something comforting and relaxing, but interesting to watch, just for a half hour (if I could even stay awake that long!) so I went onto KZfaq, and what do I find…WML!!! At first, I wondered what they meant by “line”, but quickly figured it out. Line of work, of course. After that, every night, being a single mom, with no other adult in my home to communicate with, and being an elementary teacher, having been around only children all day, after I had gotten my own lovely children their dinner, I was eager to fall into bed and watch another WML episode!!! During the first month especially, this intriguing and delightful show had me hooked, even if I was only able to enjoy 5 minutes of it, before the next morning when the alarm rang and I’d wake up, disappointed that I had only watched 5 minutes of it, and wishing the day would go quickly by, so that I could attempt to watch another full episode of WML! Lastly, I’m going to add that my daughter’s 6th grade teacher used to get frustrated with her because my daughter would write essays that were especially lengthy…and now you know where she inherited that tendency from!!!

@@deboraholsen2504 LOL 🙂

@@deboraholsen2504 , we both love a long write, a long read, and a healthy dose of commas that fit!

I'm addicted as well. I love the class, dignity, respect, humor, etc etc

I thought he was great and the "cultivation" come back at Bennett was a slam-dunk-homerun!

He hated Rock and Roll.

no taste in music or humour.

(To Bennet) "No Led Zeppelin for you!"

He understood how utterly despicable it is. Druggies, demon possession, sex, alcohol... That's coming from the rock and roll noise makers themselves. They're very bold and open about their sin. They're also very bold and open about how their noise is about rebellion and drawing the youth away from authority. Despicable.

@@mcjess9843 I agree completely. Unfortunately, contemporary "Christian" music is much the same: the, uh, "Christianization" of pagan musical forms. That was one of the big things that drove me out of the church years and years ago; it stinketh!!

@@ejflashfold8381 He has taste...it just doesn't agree with yours! I'm positive you would say the very same thing about MY opinion of hip-hop music...I just don't go out of my way to broadcast it.

Few men would not have married up had they married Arlene.

If you see pictures of him when he was young you might not think so. He was a very handsome and captivating actor, and I believe a great stage actor before he met her. At the time, it’s possible that Arlene was the one marrying up, but her beauty just grew. He aged well but not as well as his wife.

Probably not! Arlene evolved over time. She started out quite homely ( see episodes in 1959-51). She worked hard to elevate her style and appearance....with a lot of expensive help. She and Dorothy earned $750 per weekly show. ( About 10X what most Americans made at the time!). Arlene focused on climbing the social ladder as epitomized by Broadway and NYC.

@z It must have been very difficult; I'm sorry for your loss.

Understatement of the millennia.

I thought he sounded a bit like Reagan.

Dana had superior manners actually. Women remain sitting when shaking hands. Men stand. Dana's demure manner was impeccable.

I didn't know her name was pronounced that way myself. I only know her from this show and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". What a classic beauty she was!

What's My Line? I totally agree.

Davitofratito Presumably you're referring to the pronunciation of her name, since I can't imagine anyone disagreeing that she was a classic beauty.

I thought it might be pronounced Dan-uh.

I would have said DAYna and I have no idea who she is. I just know I'm in love.

He's just never caught the Who in their prime.

Poor Bennett died never being able to prove WITHOUT QUESTION that rock & roll was created by Satan himself!

The feeling was probably mutual ☺

Well, they were right. 🙂

For many adults of the time, rock 'n' roll was associated in their minds with adolescent rebellion and juvenile delinquency. A prominent psychiatrist, Dr. Francis Braceland, called rock 'n' roll a "communicable disease" after disturbances at a rock 'n' roll show at the State Theater in Hartford, CT. in 1956 led to eleven arrests. Note that the priest on this show emphatically said that the percentage of rock 'n' roll he played was "exactly zero", while Clifton Fadiman smiled broadly.

@@jackkomisar458 Precisely. The older generation in the 50's perceived rock and roll as being some kind of terrible threat.

And how much do you like the pop music of people younger than you?

He got it. He was right.

Well... we won and he lost.

The tie was related to Greensboro's 150th anniversary, so the participants of the anniversary would dress like people did 150 years ago.

I believe they are blue

Startlingly blue!

You never knew DANA WYNTER before WML? Shame on you !!!!!

Bennett Cerf said at 1:56 that John Daly is in Tokyo.

John Daly was participating in a round-the-world plane flight(s).

After seeing many of these I have come to the conclusion that Mr. Cerf by today's standards was a self-centered stuck-up bore. Discuss?
