She's incredible, isn't she? I've never seen anyone with that kind of beauty.

I first remember seeing her in "Sink the Bismark". Remarkably beautiful.

wiguy3 I have never heard of her, but she was a riot :)

John Waller -- I hadn't heard of her either, until I saw her as a mystery guest in a 1955 appearance on WML. She seemed to love entertaining people and she had fun doing it, too. In fact, not so many mystery guests were as fun as she was.

I love this show and especially John Daly as the host What a wonderful person he is so respectful to everyone and such a warm hearted man It’s been such a pleasure to find these shows and thanks so much for who ever puts them on I think the respect for each other shows loud and clear a far cry from today Many thanks

Gracie was a huge star before

@@JLionelWaller I discovered Gracie Fields back in the 1970s, and was upset when she died. I love her work and visited Capri where she lived.

... along with Arlene!

Did you notice, at 20:16 , that she stood up to shake Gracie Fields' hand? I *knew* she would! (She was not yet Dame Gracie, but she would be.)

Juanette Butts Arleen did not stand. Usually the women stay seated to say farewell, the men standing. Dana Wynter was an exception in this as well as in her beauty.

Etiquette says that, within one sex, the younger stands to say hello and goodbye to the older.

@@mckavitt13 Arlene Did stand.

@@SueProv Didn’t take that in. Quite the opposite. Will watch again. Thanks for info, Sue.

That is very true, she is perfect. Better looking than many film stars. I would have liked another hair do on her however...

Yes she is

There's something incredible about her beauty. I can't put my finger on why she seems more beautiful than almost anyone I've ever seen. I've been mentally comparing her to Audrey Hepburn, but she's even more beautiful, at least here... and in part because of her intelligence. I'd never heard of her before WML. Is she on more than two episodes?

She was a good dancer. Edit..Sorry, got her mixed up with Gracie Allen.

Gracie Fields was a huge star in Great Britain. She was a superb singer/comedienne.

She reminds me a bit of a young Joan Collins.

I agree...but I won't even born yet at this point but wow!

@@Wizardofgosz Joan Collins was two years younger than Dana Wynter.

She actually looks and sounds angelic.

yeah I was starting to wonder if anyone was gonna notice the ret urn of our "Hero" John Charles Daly or not. Although Fadiman was pretty good.

@@steveburrus5526 No he wasn't!

That substitute was god-awful. It should have been Arlene. Sexism in action.

And SO MANY try to emulate this - but the breeding of years past was something I witnessed as a child of the 60s

Truer words were never spoken.

Me too, the thing about her she was a "total package," Other people were funnier, or could sing better and so on, but she did them all in one package like few others could.

She was wonderful! 😂🥰👏👏

I would say annoyingly over the top, but it was lovely to see hear.

Zac M. Dana Wynters played the female lead in the original classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".

+Major Payne Are you kidding? That was she? I will have to search this movie. She is breath taking. I remember the movie but I was about 10 years of age.

She played opposite Kevin McCarthy in that great movie. Ms.Wynter also starred alongside Kenneth More in "Sink the Bismark". "Wow", indeed.

She reminds me a bit of a young Joan Collins.

But below it says he coached until 2005.

@MrVidaeverdade Gracie possessed a strong, easy voice. It's just that her Lancastrian accent got in the way, if you like.

Remember too that they were blindfolded and she wasn't trying to sing as well as she would when performing and Bennett would ask that to see if it was true because he didn't know who it was at the time.

And it appeared Miss Fields did not appreciate the comment.

Grandma Darling

Timothy Hughes - Funny!

Sounds like something Bennett would come up with.

There were not many color televisions in 1958.

@@RonGerstein , there also weren't many artificial satellites-but such things existed then anyway.

Did you happen to see original BODY SNATCHERS- 1956? Her utter perfection just blew me away!♥

@@enriquesanchez2001 …there was a similar quality with Barbara Rush back then too. But Dana’s even more so.

@@christopherleodaniels7203 Ah yes Barbara!

@@enriquesanchez2001 …yes. Multiple times. Stunning lady.

No kidding! She was on an episode of "The Rockford Files", which also guest starred Lauren Bacall! If you haven't seen in you should seek it out. The series is streaming on a couple of channels.

@Chris Bowen Lovely Dana Wynter. Greg Bautzer broke his long bachelorhood to marry her. Attractive parents made an attractive child!

Dorothy only died in 1965. So Dana did not replace Dorothy.

You're right, Lars. Her beauty is rather extreme and haunting.

I don't think you'd want to see her postform either 😂🤦😂

@ianh 1984 You'll have to fight Greg Bautzer for her!

This is easily explained. Dana Andrews was a cross-dresser and that was unusual in the 1950s. Then with enough heavy makeup he emerged as Dana Wynter. Later in the 1970s he did voice-acting for animation and played Wynter Warlock...

She recorded a song in Britian in the late 50's called "Around the World", so maybe he got confused.

I subsequently found that she WAS in the movie, along with that large list of "cameo" players.

Dan Celli - Things are really different these days. Now 76 year olds look both glamorous and young. Jane Fonda comes to mind

Why sad? They lived privileged lives....Arlene died last in 02... In San Francisco at an Alzheimer's facility... sad ending for a clever woman but everybody should be so well taken care of... Gable died in 86... Surf died in 71.... Dorothy was murdered in 65... Don't remember John's date. I love the show. I was a little boy when It was on the air.... It's filled with sexism and racism.... But that's what the world was like and in most ways still struggling with..

Olson bean still alive he was panel on here also tell the true

@@tedthomas7948 John in 1991.

Thanks Timothy..thought John died earlier.. gonna see if there's a bio.book on him. I liked him but his Tilton School references got tiring..a bit snobby.. but again..In the day

I could only find two more appearances after 1967 of John. One for the Whats My Line at 25 Special in 1975 John looks about the same. and he appeared on a C-SPAN hearing panel in 1986, and he really aged.

At his size, I wonder if he was a coxswain when he competed rather than an oarsman. Anyway, his career at Columbia ended in disgrace. He was fired in the middle of the 1960 season, something unusual for college sports, especially a non-revenue producing one. Not only did his crews post a 1-14 record during his tenure at what had been one of the more prestigious sports for the Columbia Lions, but there had been a great deal of contention between him and members of the team. In fact, some of the best rowers wouldn't even come out for the team while he was coach. From the Columbia University student newspaper, the Columbia Daily Spectator, May 4, 1960: spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19600504-01.2.15&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-May+1%2C+1960-----

I was 6 years old the next day.

I'd guess that it was because his size would be ideal for a jockey. No doubt before becoming a coach, he had had experience as a coxswain: the little guy who rides on the front of a crew scull and coordinates the work of the rowers by synchronizing their strokes.

I read your comments in many episodes, and your words make me sick. ALL YOU DO IS CRITICIZE OR BELITTLE THE PARTICIPANTS IN WML. THE NEXT TIME YOU FEEL LIKE INSULTS, STUFF IT IN YOUR MOUTH.

+juliansinger Searching for Mrs. Brewer under her theatrical name of Grandma Darling, I found one item in a show business newspaper, "The Billboard", dated 9/1/45. Darling might have been either her maiden name or the last name of a previous husband. Someone named Anne Darling helped her celebrate her 65th birthday in Buffalo. The item said that she began her entertainment career 50 years earlier in England with a "kiddie revue". There was an Anne Darling who had a career as an actress who was born in what is now Troy, NY in 1915. Isabel Brewer would have been around age 35 at that time.

@@loissimmons6558 love all your research. Thanks

The Brave Introvert - No. Please don't tell me that.

The Brave Introvert As with so many bright people, it shocks us to learn this about them. But Arleen lived to a v advanced age, so it isn’t quite as shocking.

It's no one's fault if they get Alzheimer's but when they are on their 90's it's not uncommon.

Some celebrities fade into obscurity. It's bound to happen.

Our Gracie recorded for HMV which stands for His Master's Voice and her records recorded in the United Kingdom were released by the Victor Talking Machine Company of Camden, New Jersey, known as RCA Victor from 1929 on. Surprised you didn't know that, you bloody toff!

She was apparently born in 1883, so she probably died in the late 60s or 70s.

I hope not. She wouldn't have deserved that torture.

JAY TERRY Maybe because he has to shake hands.....then again he could use his other hand.

😂👏

+oldfart4751 Actually, she was of German origins (b. Dagmar Winter)

oldfart4751 We were discussing Dana Wynter

Snobby? She got up to greet Gracie Fields, Arlene not so much.

Doug w. Dana Wynter was in the movie" The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with Kevin McCarthy,back in the mid to late 1950's.It was one of the best science fiction movies in films,a cult classic,I would think.It was about aliens replicating your body,as soon as you fell asleep,and the " body forms were pods,that the bodies " developed in.and became" alive" and Was that person's double.I can not remember,the name of the planet,these aliens were from? A very scary,frightening movie when it came out.I think,TCM,has had it on its station.

Wynter seemed sophisticated not snobbish.
