Chris Allen, thanks for posting my thoughts :-)

At the time, the United States of America was still a first-world country.

Yes, very beautiful!

Yes, and it's gone in our lives now I am afraid. People knew how to act, dress, and talk back then and so everything was civil and had some glamour - NOT anymore.

now look at the flakes who have emerged over the last 5 years in america

ldchappell1. Did you find your long lost twin from Boston? And say ""Come on in! The water is fine!" pretending the water was shallow?

Yeah I love the original Parent Trap. The new one they came out with about 20 years ago is junk. I remember when I first saw the original Parent Trap when I was about 5-6 years old I didn't have the urge to go to camp but I did fall in love with Haley Mills.

Ahaha... incontrovertible living proof idiotic Murican movies made for idiotic Murican audiences can have some positive influences

ME TOO THE VIRSION WITH LINDSEY LOHAN IS JUST NOT IT EVEN THAT JOANNA PLAYED THE FOTHER ALMOST MOTHER IN LAW AND HER NAME IS ALSO VICKIE

%a

That's a great movie. Love Hayley

Grew up watching all of Hayley Mills movies. Pollyanna and The Parent Trap were my favourites.

@@bonriver9420 I liked Whistle Down the Wind, The Chalk Garden and The Family Way

The Moon Spinners made me a fan

All her movies can be found on the internet for free. There is nothing special about YT. There are much better platforms for movies.

Museum Hayley Mills has THE most beautiful speaking voice the only girl that comes near is Jennifer Agutter

Joey Kardos. Love the old WML!

Thank God for KZfaq we can watch all these great shows over and over again

@@philiphoward1731 How right you are! Thank heavens for UTUBE( my favorite!) & for extraordinary blogs/sites like this one who consistently put out great videos/shows/post like the one here that we are watching, now!♥️

Qq

Today would have multiple bleeps covering up obscenities.

I can't believe that Joanna Barnes is gone 😭 she was a good actress... she was on the Beverly Hillbillies as the stuck up Cynthia

Yes, and the men STOOD UP when shaking a woman's hand. Gentlemen!! Not any more, so sad.

You are so right - I enjoyed watching Hayley Mills in the original "Parent Traps." Good Disney film.

Bex Hayley Mills has the most beautiful speaking voice and she can sing beautifully as well .

wow so cool

Dorothy was a smart cookie.

Haley Mills was my first crush after I saw her in Polly Anna.

Juliet Mills is Haley Mills's older sister.

And a parachute rigger!

And a Brick Layer 😂

Yes, indeed.

You make it sound like having a degree in metallurgy and pilot a helicopter is common stuff for women nowadays

It is so impressive and I think an indicator of WW2's cultivating women into the workforce.

And don't forget The Parent Trap! :)

Chalk Garden & Tiger Bay! Yes, late on this.

She was my favorite actress in the 60s. Named my daughter after her.

And the moonspinners!!!

My fave was "The Margaret Dumont Story". She was born to play ol' Maggie !

such a quick wit.

He was such a great comedian with a great sense of humor

I agree! Steve Allen was a hoot!

I loved his talk show!

Just a goon …

Yes. Me too. She was fascinating. I hope she she wrote a book, or left her memoirs for her family.

Every Era has its Power Grrrls

I got hooked on this show after I saw the one with Sean Connery, it was the first episode I watched.

Me too! Wanted more groucho Marx and was sent here. I'm hooked!

Game4 shows were very popular in the 60, 70's and I loved this one growing up. I don't know IF it would work today, but it would lose some of it's allure I feel. And, lord knows I don't want to know what the apparel would be !! LOL

Let’s talk about this during patio time

I am a big Haley Mills fan also

espescially the intelligence :)

Wait...Michael Strayhan will be doing it soon....it'll be a hit beyond belief !! Hang on, I just threw up, a little bit, in my mouth.

Oh absolutely! These celebrities back then dressed with such style, class, and glamour. Today's celebrities dress like a bunch of slobs!

@Brains00007 So??? What's wrong with that?

Lovely!

+elvisobsessor She's quite beautiful..just like you ;-)

Hayley Mills is still a cutie pie!!! She hasn't aged a single day! This girl ROCKS!!! 😇❤💗

its could makeup XD

i mean it could be makeup

Yeah, me, too. I spent the entire summer of 1961 crushing on Hayley because ads for "The Parent Trap" ran all summer long. She seemed like a sweet girl with a fun, mischievous streak. I begged my mother to take me to see "Parent Trap" but she said she would when it came to the neighborhood theater. Either she lied or it never came to the neighborhood theater because I didn't see it until it was shown on television a few years later.

Olivia Newton-John as a Hayley Mills look-alike? I don't believe it, but now I'm curious. FYI, have you seen this? www.ispot.tv/ad/ZGge/taco-bell-nachos-party-pack-thats-my-nacho-song-by-hayley-mills

@@DTD110865 : I watched the Taco Bell commercial, just this moment. Interesting and entertaining.

I like 'em both, but I think Hayley is utterly captivating in a way...

@@BenjaminGesselYou are so right Benjamin ! I too, always thought Hayley Mills was totally captivating & there was just something “always special” about her! Just adored her & she was always so poised, gracious & unassuming, even as a very young girl! She always seemed to have an immediate “likability about her”, never acting like the child star she was but more like she could be “the girl next door!” A “beautiful girl next door” lol 😂 but still that “down to earth, warm personality”, that drew you to her.

@@karenstrycharz1499 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I did too! Loved these shows! I would pretend to be sleeping but watch them!

Totally

I Love the cursive writing on Family Affair....

Ditto

The way the men whistle!! So four decades ago! But the use of language is something I enjoy and wish we all used our English language to its fullest.

I agree, I would have recognized her voice immediately.

She was fascinating to listen too and had a great time traveling the world telling her life's stories to people everywhere. On occasion she would come visit and fill us with wonder. She was my grandmother.

Bageera Sixtythree me too!

Bernard Meana what a wonderful person to have as your grandmother! She had to be very inspiring, did you follow in her footsteps?

@@cyndifoore7743 Definitely. My occupations have included flight instructor, commuter airline pilot and air ambulance. That did come after restaurant manager, concert sound engineer, taxi driver, construction worker, truck driver and several other jobs and persutes. She handed down the same curiosity, restless nature and can do attitude.

@@bernardmeana5455 A great lady, with a sparkle in her eye.

What a lovely memory! Thanks for sharing.😊

I dreamed about Hayley back in my youth also. I dreamed that the two characters from The Parent Trap were my best friends.

I'd argue that "Pollyanna" was her best-known film, but they were both excellent.

@@Historian212 I’m “most definitely with you”,🤣ha! on this one! ♥️ I too, adored Pollyanna! It absolutely was my favorite movie, as a child & even now in top three! I actually just watched it again, a few months ago! How I loved that movie! I have to say though that I agree with you that I also loved The Parent Trap( hated the remake!) , it is a very close second. They are two great movies with Hayley Mills! I too, loved them both but my personal favorite Hayley Mills movie 🎥 will forever be “POLLYANNA”, just like you “HISTORIAN212!” I definitely agree with everything you said!

I agree and sadly to say these kinds of game shows would not make it in these years of total garbage that is on TV today! A great missing for the younger generation of todays audience watching today.

The Moonspinners too ,

Funny, I didn't notice that at all.

I'd say we're seeing her at the pinnacle of her fame. "The Trouble With Angels" was her last big hit. She didn't do nearly as well as an adult, after her string of hits as a child and teen actor. She kept working, doing minor movies in the 70s, then especially on TV in the 80s, in the usual guest appearances on shows like The Love Boat -- and a wonderful short miniseries that played on PBS in the US, "The Flame Trees of Thika." But her career definitely peaked in the early- to mid-1960s.

@@Historian212 Flame Trees was a good show. She always got great reviews in whatever she was in. Lovely lady.

yes, and with Halley there were plots with a lot of genuine sweetness with her character and story.

And Whistle Down the Wind.... 💗

Well, at least there was that moment from 20:49 to 20:52 where Joanna gave her a kiss.

This show was 4 years after "The Parent Trap", it's not like they had just finished working together.

who did she play? the golddigging girlfriend? *Let's get together yeah, yeah, yeah* !!

Parent Trap. Funny movie.

But Joanna clearly was thrilled to see Hayley. She had a mile wide smile, arms thrown open and said "nice to see you".

And they’re free! It costs nothing but a pair of grown-up pants, which one then chooses to wear (getting some big boy or big girl pants and acting like a grownup), and taking some personal responsibility, instead of incessant whining and finger pointing. Life is much nicer since I tossed my TV and radio. Wasn’t anything worth feeding my mind from either of them. Been on a strict mental diet ever since, only very specific research and study, no social media (unless you count these comments on YT), and the occasional time capsule visit such as a show like this. That other stuff is a world I do not need in my life at all. My mind is much more fit and happy. And the sky didn’t fall in, either :)

@@misskim2058 That's the kind of lifestyle I imagine having but it's so far out of reach for me.

M Hail, maybe if you wean yourself away you can reach it. Do something else a few minutes a day, just watch the sun rise in silence, or some birds singing or playing; then learn to cook or build something and do that instead of watching a TV show, and so on. It gets contagious, you end up just preferring your new-found pastimes and you don’t even miss the drama of TV, movies, mainstream media and social media at all. It’s like the world is screaming at you non-stop and it’s so peaceful to just walk away and refuse to let them scream at you anymore. They own your mind if you hand it over every day. And what you think on just before bed is what your mind grows on as you sleep, same for what you think on in the morning. So if you take charge of that and you decide what your mind will be doing for the day, you’ll have more peace of mind. People are programmed in school to let others dictate their day for them. Very bad. Kids know it’s bad, that’s why they correctly protest the indoctrination of school. They know caging their mind is a bad thing. They’re absolutely right. It is. So one thing to do instead could be to go down everything that went right for the day, every positive thing, and appreciate it, even if it’s just that you had a warm bed to sleep in, a roof over your head, no one broke into your place or even tried to, you have a fridge for food, maybe had something to eat, you have a shower to get clean, and someone held a door open for you today and that’s all that did go right. Some people may not have all that, but they might have some of it. Listing these things, especially aloud, or written, makes things begin to shift, and more and more things go right for you. I don’t watch news or listen to it. If it’s out of my hands, I don’t worry about it. I do take action in deeper ways, some of which can be said and some not, and if there is something I can sign, I’ll know about it because someone will inevitably tell me, but that’s really rare that it’s really actionable. Voting, except at the local level, definitely at get national level, is just a false sense of control, since the system has been heavily rigged for at least 100 years. People are only voting for which cousin will carry out the next set of phases of their plans, and whether they’ll take one road or another to get to the same place. That’s a waste of my time. I surely wouldn’t give them any of my money, either. That would just weaken me. I give my money to where it has 100% impact. Help a neighbor, help a stranger, help people directly. No taxes, no overhead. Politicians don’t need my money, they all have lobbyists and party politics to fund them. The poor, and the people trying to stay off the streets, the heartbroken, the lost, the abandoned, they need our time, our attention, our company, our love, our friendship, and lunch or dinner, or maybe some other stuff from the store. Much better than TV. Go talk to some strangers at the park when there’s plenty of people around, and let them vent. You don’t have to do anything dangerous, don’t have to give them anything, not money or your phone number, just your time in the moment and a listening ear. Maybe keep a journal of stranger moments. They can be very meaningful moments. I always learn something from a stranger. Community and friendship is what the Western world is missing, we used to have it, and everyone is hurting from this loss. We can’t let it slip away. It’s the best way to fight the system. They’ll do anything to divide and conquer. Make friends with everyone the media says is your enemy. Find those common threads, because they are there. We all have faults and no one is perfect. No one is right 100% if the time. Don’t argue the differences, strengthen the similarities. Without the news, I have no enemies. I refuse to let governmental decisions dictate who my friends are. I don’t care one bit what country someone is from, I do care if someone has good character or not. That’s all that matters. There are some good sites that loan money in small amounts (usually under $3,000 USD, often more like $500-$1,500 to people the world over, and you just pitch in on that loan, and all your money goes to fund the loan to people in countries where it’s very hard for poor people to get one at all, or they don’t have the collateral, so we collectively are the collateral. One can pitch in in $25 increments on any loan, and when there’s enough people that have pitched in, the person gets the loan they need. If they do happen to default, we collectively lose whatever portion wasn’t paid back, but they’re almost always paid back, sometimes early, then the money can be reloaned again to someone else. Your $25 can be reused over and over. One can donate to help the volunteers just get to the people and such, but it isn’t required (but I do). The only time anyone has defaulted has usually been just on the last few payments of a 2-year loan, so I’ve only lost a few dollars tops with any of them, and I would have given it to them gladly anyway. And it’s so rare, and we have to remember that these can be loans in countries with non-stop violence and war, so even walking to take their little monthly payment to the bank or to a volunteer or for the volunteer to come to them just for them to pay it can be a life-threatening experience, and I’d really rather they just keep it and not risk their life to give me back a dollar...or even $25. No one has ever failed to pay most of it, almost all have paid it all back, and many have succeeded with their small business enough to expand and even take out and repay another loan, so they can care for their famiiies, or add a toilet to their home, or a roof, send their kids to school, things like that. That’s way more fun to watch people do well, and I learn more about their countries from how things are going with real people and their real lives. For anyone wondering, Kiva.org is the one I’ve used for years. So far, it’s been great to see people do better than I do at things. They never cease to amaze me at what they accomplish with so little. They’ll teach you how to appreciate every tiny thing you have, just by how they live. You’ll feel like a millionaire, or a billionaire, for sure. And you’ll technically be an international financier, (specializing in micro loans). Has a nice ring to it:) I’m so allergic to TV, I won’t even sit in a waiting room with one, I always demand a quiet place to sit. Then I can read or just sit and be. Just some ideas. Once you start to drop that media world here and there, you start to wonder why you ever liked it in the first place. And your friends and life will change... for the better.

​@@misskim2058 Wow. Such a long body of text I had to read ha, but really, I appreciate your openness and the time it took you to type this just to help me -- a stranger on the internet with some life advice. I do suppose I can take on some of them. Thanks, Miss Kim :)

M Hail, haha, I guess I do get rather long at times, (and super TLDR at times!), but I guess I like it when people write for me, so, I figure if someone reads it and it helps, then it’s there, and if they don’t read it, someday someone else might find something useful. All part of that slower, calmer world;) One picks what works, and spits out the rest. Gets more refined as time goes on. Hope you find some fun and truly unique alternatives to a pre-mapped, socially-constructed, false-boundaried and false-alternatived existence, things that really shift your world for the better... 😊💕

Very sad, but true, the " show must go on". But it breaks 😢💔 my heart, nonetheless.

Her southern accent should have been a dead give away

Selene beatty .. You people have GOT to stop with gushing over this era with false perception. First, the money was a lot for back then. And did you not catch the whistles, the cat calls, and the cat (pussy) puns? You guys... stop. People back then had manners as a pretense, it was almost only as a way to control people and everyone who was not privileged was subjected to abuse. Honestly.

You're full of crap. The so-called cat puns were about Hayley promoting her new film "That Darned Cat". NOTHING else. And $50 in the 60s wasn't billions of dollars. Finally, your nonsensical premise of good manners being slavery is just plain moronic.

All this people commenting live in a dream world, this is what television and cinemas have done to their minds; implanted a thought pattern that is just an illusion, they look at life from the past through rose tinted specs and cannot distinguish fantasy from reality. All these celebrities are nothing special, they are in the acting business and their whole life is one big act, whether they are on screen or off screen. You would not want to go anywhere near most of these actors if you saw them in their true light...

Imagine having to listen to sexual references, let alone innuendo. It'd be hell.

@@redblade43 I suspect you're a SJW/VS Millennial, or some other "self-disenfranchised" wha-wha. Both of my late parents were young professionals during that time, and far from being privileged; they had to accomplish what they had through their own motivation, rigorous work, and merit. They would also both attest that increasingly dustant era was better than recent years, in many ways.

She was sort of a social climber wannabe in that, but was very much the snobby society girl in "Mame" with Rosalind Russell. :)

Yes, that was a great role as well as Peggy Cass as Miss Agnes Gooch.

@@carltonpoindexter2034 Peggy was a jewel ! I think she was nominated for an award, Not sure if she won but maybe. She was SO funny !

We do indeed!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

It is almost impossible for impressionists to imitate. Hayley and Robert Stack are said to be the HARDEST to do.

After all she's British, their voices are hard to miss

Lee Mclaury hayley has such a beautiful speaking voice you could listen to it all day long and never tire of it.

She was certainly wearing makeup during this appearance, though.

Pollyanna

Actually her first big hit was ‘Tiger Bay’ made in 1958 - released in 1959 in England. A black & white all time classic Film. Disney’s wife happened to see it on a trip to the UK & told him she would make the ideal Pollyanna - which is how she got the part, over all the American competition. It is now on You Tube & also stars Horst Buccholtz, Wonderful film - brilliant acting - far superior to the Disney stuff in my view.

@@deborahpalmer1021 "big hit" is measured by revenue ... Tiger Bay was her first big role and a respectable success, but it was not a big hit compared to the revenue produced by a big Disney distribution. Pollyanna was an international hit on a level only associated with broad studio marketing and distribution channels that Rank didn't have outside Britain

@@deborahpalmer1021 "Pollyanna" was certainly Mills' first big hit in the US.

Pollyanna was my very favorite film that she made, when I saw it as a young child. I adored her after I saw her appearing in this movie! She received a Juvenile Oscar for her performance 🎭 but her parents did not allow her to come to America to receive it, I had read, for they did not want her to “get a big head”, but wanted to keep her unaffected by her fame. Walt Disney arranged to have Annette Funicello pick up the Oscar for Hayley Mills( I adored Annette as a teenager & her Beach Party movies!) but the award was presented to Annette in Hayley’s place, by none other than a gigantic “child ⭐️ star”, in her own right, “SHIRLEY TEMPLE!” Love to see that & will have to look through the amazing Utube videos, that miraculously seems to have anything you might be looking for! Utube has everything( love Utube!!!) & I also love. this particular blog/site/video!♥️

I miss Dorothy Kilgarron. She was my favorite

Gary: How lucky you met Joanna!

She was my first crush. I will always love her.

love her video interview here on YT with her sister. She is still Halley that's for sure !

z, your comment doesn’t make any sense. He said he had a crush on her as a kid in the 1960’s, not now.

@@Jmmoffa You've crushed z very appropriately.

I did too 💖 🇺🇸 🇬🇧🎶🎵🎶

me too, and i still do with me in my 50's!...

Me too. A good friend of mine took her out a few times too! Very jealous.

Hayley met her (ex) husband on that movie; he was the director (Roy Boulting,) a man much older than she was (by 32 years) but they fell in love...

+Eidann63 Isn't it strange how it is unusual but acceptable when the man is 32 years older whereas it would be nearly scandalous the other way round?

+Celisar1 She's now making up for lost time. Her current, and long time beau, is 20 years her junior.

Celisar1 Juliet married Maxwell Caulfield. He was 20 and she was at least 20 years older.

Great movie, great soundtrack.

They werent so demon possessed!

soulierinvestments That explains their affectionate greetings to each other at the end of the segment. I was wondering how they knew each other. Even though I've seen "The Parent Trap" several times, I didn't remember Joanna Barnes from it. It's too bad they didn't have a chance to mention their prior association during the show.

SaveThe TPC Joanna plays the blonde fiancee of Hayley's father (Brian Keith.) She's the one the twin girls, "submarine" when they go camping... ;-)

Eidann63 it's Vicki of course.

They adored each other on set when Disney released Parent Trap on DVD in the early 2000's. Ms. Barnes was one of many interviewed absolutely glowed about Hayley. Was rather sweet.

soulierinvestments I didn't even realize it was Vicky until I read your post. She also appeared in the remake as well, still looking beautiful I might add.

I'll have to look that one up. I saw it in San Francisco (THE ACTORS WORKSHOP) Some people became famous from that repratory (sic) Company. I knew one of the actresses. It would be nice to see the movie version with Mills etc.

she is definitely the kind of female men can fall in love with and women can like/admire.

Her and Annette Funnicello

+J0nB0yH88 With the exclamation point! Nice!

Hayley Mills DOES have GREAT handwriting for sure!!!

+sarahfromnatick Hayley Mills, who speaks English, may have made exclamation marks, but never exclamation "points", which are used only by Americans, who do not.

Ban Crows It's the same thing, stop being so technical. And work on improving your English, your grammar is atrocious!

Yes, it is. I could tell from the cough before she spoke.

Interesting the way these English actors attempt to put on American accents.

ya think????? ---------- we share birthdays (April 18) ---------- and she's pretty along with her sister

@@@paulohara8967 On a programme like 'What's My Line' an English celebrity has to change their accent otherwise they'll be rumbled early...duh!

Yes it was. Mainly seeing I'm a big Haley Mills fan ever since I was really young.

Casper Kittae. Aot of young men fell in love with her after parent trap. My favorite was tiger bay.

Me too.

I was crushing on Hayley the entire summer of 1961. She was pretty and seemed like a sweet girl with a fun, mischievous streak. I begged my mother all summer long to take me to the theater to see Parent Trap. She told me she would when it came to the neighborhood theater. Either it never did or she lied because I didn't see the movie until it was on television a few years later. (I was the fourth of four kids. I think my mother was burnt out by then.)

Me,too..one of 'em, anyway!

Yeah, the lady flight instructor had gravitas.

Mine as well

our crushes when we are young tend to last a lifetime. Interesting fact, thanks.

They are all dressed for the opera not a quiz show.

+Jack Twist Me too! Agree 100%.

+Jack Twist Jack, don't get in a twist over this, but between the ages of 4 & 7, Hayley was - on occasion - my baby-sitter. My grandmother was once a very well-known and regarded actress. As a result, I got to meet and know a few people, such as Hayley. Please bare in mind, I was a small child and I haven't seen her, since I was 13

+Lindsey Hale Lucky you! I bet she was lovely. Who was (is?) your grandmother? Or if it might identify you, was she stage or silver screen? Silent or talkies? Say the early Hitchcock era? Not Barbara Hale??

+Lindsey Hale Lucky you. Had Haley Mills ever showed up at my house to babysit for me I would have just fainted. And in the family I grew up in, men/boys were not "permitted" to faint. LOL. I bet my father would have fainted too, and grandfather. My grandfather was a Bugle Boy under General Pershing, and my father was in the Pacific Theatre in WW Two. And my great-grandfather was a gunner in HMS Royal Artillery under Queen Victoria. And Haley Mills would have made them all weak in the knees. She was really a classy, quite elegant and sweet. I sincerely hope she has had a blessed life.

Not in Montessori schools.

I can’t understand half of the people’s writing! John Daly must be told the guests names ahead of time in order to get their names correct every time like he pretty much does.

@@dianefiske-foy4717 well, no duh!

I still write in script and very neatly and I went to public school. Before my time, it was required that you wrote neat all of the time. People scribbling their names now is just pure laziness.

@@SweetSpot70 If they can even scribble. Cursive might as well be cuneiform with many people.

That's true. Wikipedia lists versions of "What's My Line?" in 12 other countries, though not all aired at the same time.

i agree. i never go to bed without watching an episode. those were the days!!i i'm 82 loving it in spain

I think the regulars were all missing her, as it was only three weeks after her last appearance. So sad.

Dorothy Kilgallen was quite an interesting woman! There is still much mystery surrounding her death.

I always enjoyed Kitty Carlisle. She was so knowledgeable about NYC theater, US composers, and NYC art museums and historic sites. She was always elegantly dressed and her hair perfectly coiffed.

and her sister Juliet.

Such a multitalented family… every single one of them! The parents & two daughters….all successful, talented & so very unaffected by their fame.

I loved her sister Julliet too! She was in that cute series "Nanny And The Professor" which I wish was on DVDs...

She's such a British treasure like Julie Andrews, Angela Lansbury and her sister Juliet

@@KindCountsDeb3773 And her son Crispin, main man of Kula Shaker - still going after all these years.

Joe Ward Hayley Mills speaking voice is unique and so beautiful only 1 in a million people have a really pleasant voice.
