A good looking guy, but what was that crap they put in their hair back then?

@@larrygrebler5054 Brill cream I think.

My mom and aunties and babysitters loved him

....and only 16 here.

Galileocan g ~ Loved your entire comment. Arlene was always so pleasant, she had a very quick wit and I loved her as well. ❤️

Arlene always added that extra touch to the shows.

I'd think it was far more common for the panelists *not* to pass the bar but to stop in instead.

@@neilmidkiff And for some, just before they went on the show. lol

@@kevinkool3 you stole my thunder. Pre program pauses. Elevated elbows

100% class!

I detest her and her husband! For the billionth time!

Some of the men in the audience 𝒐𝒃𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒍𝒚 thought Judge Stout was Caucasian when she initially walked on the set🤔

I'll bet that she knew who Dred Scott was and could define what is a woman without being a biologist.

@@rentslave - yep, and so could you, so that's not saying much.

+just4mygrl Glad you're enjoying them-- it's a very addictive show!

+just4mygrl me too! i was not even an egg cell, waiting for fertilization! I'll just say this - these Ricky Nelson and Fabian characters - what guy would not have a fantastic life would if they looked like these dudes!?!?

You're right jas22! I remember Ricky Nelson and Fabian when I was a kid, I was born 1964.

What's My Line? Yes very addictive!

Same here - Martin Gabel is my favorite - along with Hal Block of course ;)

Yes...I know just had to ask my wife what 43 from 59 was because I was astounded.

@gloria hodge good one, Gloria.

who is fabian? he's so handsome, i clicked on the video

WOW. I never would have thought. I thought he was in his early 20's. He carried himself very well.

@@lang-ed3bk Who is Fabian!!!? My goodness! 😳 He was an actual teen idol! He might not have been the best singer, but he was so good looking tbe teenage girls didn't care. He was up there with Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon and Paul Anka. All of them were in their teens in competition with Elvis Presley.

The Kardashians. What are they up to this week?

@@keithhyttinen8275 who cares.?

Exactly!

So there is not a living person who can rival Fabian? Is your statement an ABSOLUTE? Please provide us with your list of disappointments.

You talk about "Fabian" as if he's Marlon Brando, Elvis, or the Beatles....geez, its only 'Fabian' for crying out loud, a totally industry-manufactured pop idol. Couldn't point to any of his work (music/movies) that has had any multi-generational appeal/impact past its initial marketing period of popularity and past the teens who contemporaneously consumed/swallowed it.

she seems quite an unpleasant person ... not pleasant in the least ...

She struck me as lovey, certainly bright and poised.

@@anneroy4560 I disagree with you she seemed a confident, determined and bright lady.

he was manufactured as a singer by Frank M

HE POSED NUDE IN PLAYGIRL

His name was mentioned NON STOP in "Laverne and Shirley" lol 😂Finally I looked up on google, "what's a FABIAN?" lol!

Orange male Oscar I was just thinking that

My mom may have been in the hospital watching this as I was born two days earlier. I am also very well acquainted with Truman Capote's book as that event happened that weekend.

Well then a real happy birthday that day! I was also born this day at 11:48 am!

He certainly carried himself well during this appearance.

I had no idea he was only 16. He does have a commanding presence. I was impressed also. I have heard he name before but I am not familiar with him or his career.

​@@samualcrocket1405He is a contemporary of Frankie Avalon

@@RonGerstein They are similar.

Tab Hunter, who had similar fame as Fabian Forte was a closet homose•ual...Tab eventually got married to a man when the laws against same sex marriages were relaxed.

I've keep going back to this show daily. They should air it on TCM to honor all the celebrities in all the arts that appeared just to have them in one place just for the memories. Just seeing them laughing , joking, and at various ages is the most wonderful time capsule. Especially the couples -those who stayed married as well as those who didn't. Debbie Reynolds (the guest) & Eddie Fisher (bought out to surprise the panel) were on 4 yrs years before he left her for Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor appeared on the show in Nov 1954 , 3 months after Debbie.

I had Mrs. Headley in first & 6th grade..P.S. 108 yes? I adored her

@@debbiecarroll5672 Yes, that was the school I attended.

@Lois Simmons the great days of P.S 108..I didn't like Mr. Kleinberg..

@@debbiecarroll5672 I moved to the suburbs in November of my third grade year. I never had to deal with the principal. I know the name and I think there is a rubber stamp of his signature on my report cards, and that's about my only recollection of him.

@Lois Simmons the fantastic days of Ozone Park .we did the opposite..moved from the suburbs back to Queens.but I eventually came back to the suburbs after I married..

That was a funny movie. That song "North to Alaska" was how I got my youngest brother to remember which direction north is.

Noticed that as well. Always good to see him laughing and enjoying himself.

I hope it's clear I was kidding about "Mr. Line"! :) My name's Gary, if anyone wants to call me that. And you're very welcome, Dixie. I appreciate the comments you've been leaving.

+What's My Line? We just don't want to be out of line with any of our comments!

Correction: Arlene

Wow; I didn’t know that. Thank you for sharing.

You're mixing a couple of incidents together. The pendant wasn't stolen until the 1980s, after her husband's death. The injuries were suffered when her car was forced into oncoming traffic on a highway, killing one of the passengers in the car she hit. That was in '63.

@@tanisdevelopment: Correct she was mugged decades later!

I want you doing the clothes descriptions during fashion shows.

And then Daly's "stunned silence." Lol, he got called out on that bad joke big time.

Bennett wrote in the introduction to one of his books that one measure of the quality of a pun was the depth of the groans it elicited (paraphrasing from memory). He certainly had every right to be proud of this one, by those standards.

Can't believe Mr. Cerf came up with such a corny pun. One would have expected that from someone like Hal Block.

They might have called it "chemistry". The Oxford English Dictionary has this quote from George Bernard Shaw in 1898, "No, no, no. Not love: we know better than that. Let's call it chemistry...Well, you're attracting me irresistibly--chemically."

Oh who could blame her? ;)

A lot of them have actually done the same to other guest, men and women who walk off.

Interesting :)

AmeRicanItalian Israel When Raquel Welsh walked off the last lady on the panel had her eyes wide open at Raquels short dress....:) It is on KZfaq,. worth watching.

Close....it was Fabiano Forte.

iamintheburg it did yes, this episode is from a year before that incident

@@Bonobanos oooh that's spooky!

And now he is 78. Possibly 79 depending on what month he was born. Time flies when your having fun.

Still earning a living performing the same three songs over and over.

Indeed

Alice Berry: the accident occurred AFTER this show.

He was like Cher or Madonna in more recent decades. Most people only know them by their first name and have never heard the last name unless, these days, they google them.

His personal life was detestable.

+Antonio Caban As far as I saw, he still performs but he doesn't record music any more. You might say that he is semi-retired as he deliberately limits his appearances. It sounds like he wouldn't want to do the type of touring required to promote a new album.

Lois Simmons Thanks for the info, Lois.

So was Dorothy!

+Jade Shannon That's basically how he was discovered and chosen: for his looks. The owners of the record company that first signed him felt he had the looks to become a teen idol (he just needed to grow out his hair from crew cut to pompadour). The quality of his voice was an after thought.

So was Dorothy!

@@tomhavens6006 That's poor judgment, I'd say. Dorothy was a nightmare of Oz proportions, with weak chin too.

Except that Fabian was not a FTM.

My mom didn't think much of Fabian, either, as she preferred classical music and opera. When I read the comment I decided to listen to a few of this young man's songs. Yes, you're right: looked good but could not sing. Give me opera any day! Thank you for these MARVELOUS videos!! Your hard work and dedication bringing hours of enjoyable programming to us is greatly appreciated!!

Nondescript If it were *on* the camera lens it would be so far out of focus that it couldn't be seen. And it wasn't present in the main studio TV camera at all, and quite possibly didn't exist until the kinescope film of this episode was converted to video for cable TV in recent years. The hair is in the film gate: the metal frame through which the film passes between the lamp and the lens. It wasn't there when the animation was originally put on film, because that is shot frame by frame rather than in real time, and the tuft of hair is dancing about and leaving the film gate just as it does during film projection. Also, the animation would have been re-shot to eliminate the hair. It could have been present in the film chain (a combination film projector and TV camera) just as the broadcast of the show was beginning, while the filmed animation was being played back before switching the broadcast source to the studio cameras. This would have been a lapse from broadcast quality standards; I'll bet they cleaned the film gate before every live show. Most likely the hair was sticking to the decades-old kinescope film at the time that it was converted to video for cable TV.

“Be sensible!” Lol (-eats cookies at midnight)
