Does it really matter whether Doris Day dies at the age of 97? The internet encourages cultural scholars to be lazy when a legendary entertainer is 97 years young. Then the entertainer dies and the cultural scholars snap to attention within seconds of learning the news. Liza Minnelli has more than two decades to go before she becomes 97. Does anyone have something nice to say about her on social media?

I believe Hitchcock’s Rebecca won a competitive Oscar for the year 1940 for Best Picture, but that Oscar went to the producer, David O. selznick. That year’s Best Director Oscar went to John Ford for the equally brilliant Grapes of Wrath. Hitch never won a competitive Oscar himself, only an honorary one very late in his life.

+Jeff Vaughn I"m a huge Doris Day fan, but to suggest that she looks about as good now as she did almost 60 years ago is well, major denial. She's had four facelifts or partial facelifts since the early 1970's, very good ones, but nonetheless, something also to be factored in. I do agree that she SOUNDS almost exactly the same as she did decades ago...

Mark Richardson Hilarious, because she's 93 years old. Yes, in the videos shot at her birthday she looks pretty good for her age, but come on, even at her Golden Globe appearance in 1989, with all the good work she had done, and all the amazing lighting and makeup, she didn't look 45 years old. Maybe 50 or 52, and that was 26 years ago. And I think she'd say the same, as she was 66 at the time. But if you think she doesn't look a day over 45 at age 93, you're certainly entitled to your opinion. We'll just have to agree to disagree, nothing wrong with that.

The last Dodgers-Giants played in New York City occurred on this date at the Polo Grounds. The Giants won 3-2, with Curt Barclay beating Don Drysdale. It would be the last victory for Barclay as a New York Giant (and he would only win one more game with the Giants on the west coast) while Drysdale's career took him to a place in Baseball's Hall of Fame. I attended my first major league game the day before with my parents and my brother (five years older). My hero, Duke Snider, hit a key home run and the Dodgers won, 5-4. I was a few months short of my fifth birthday and had just started kindergarten in Queens. Sadly, I never got to see a game at Ebbets Field. My favorite team and all my favorite players were playing home games 3000 miles away the following April.

I'm glad you have such great memories related to a sporting event. I'm old enough to remember when about half the men still wore suits and hats to games and families could afford to go without it being an expensive outing, I often miss the good old days even though people are constantly trying to convince me life is so much better now it doesn't often feel like it.

Dorothy's question to the mystery guest, "Do you wear pajama tops rather well?" referred to the Movie "Pajama Game", which starred Doris Day and was released on August 29, 1957. At one point in a musical number towards the end of the show, Doris Day's character, Babe, comes on stage with only a pajama top and her new husband, Sid, the superintendent of the pajama factory, appears with only a pajama bottom. Babe says, "Married life is lot's of fun. Two can sleep as cheap as one."

This is the period when G-T auditioned Ernie Kovacs as a possible permanent fourth panelist. He appeared for 10 out of the 13 weeks that part of the season. Gil Fates reported in his book that G-T wanted Kovacs. but Ernie turned down the contract because he had other ideas for television and did not want to be tied down to a live New York game show. In retrospect, Ernie's style -- satiric humor with big discontinuities -- was not quite right in program where the other panelists were witty and played the game straight.
@tjbnyc7610 жыл бұрын
I like Ernie Kovacs a lot, but I agree that he wasn't really the right fit for the show -- the episodes where he appears on the panel are invariably amusing and entertaining because of his quirky presence, but the game-playing itself is almost always thrown off-kilter because of that same quirkiness.

I love Kovacs on the panel, personally. He was great when he showed up for an episode of "You Bet Your Life" also (one of the funniest ever). But for some reason I can't get into his own TV work at *all*. He was experimental and avant garde for his time, yes, but deadly unfunny to me now, and I only watch old stuff.
