Merrida100 Janet Leigh according to Jamie lee Curtis always had a eating disorder.

@@nadiazahroon6573 Never knew that but she was always very thin except for her full bustline always.

Jamie Leigh looks so much like her

Janet Leigh was truly one of the best looking actresses in Hollywood and very very talented as well.

She looked anorexic and sickly all through the 70s, 80s and 90s. @@nadiazahroon6573

🤣

Yes, and also refreshing contrast to most of the programs of the 1950s and 60s

​@@igkoigko9950- Was it a man named Gil Fates who developed What's My Line?

@@shirleyrombough8173 Yes. That’s what my weak memory and strong google skills says. Speaking of weak memory “Rombough,” more likely spelled Rumbough,” reminds me of a colleague at INS / DOJ in Virginia. Any relation?

I didn't know about his war record......much respect to him

Interesting. There were two former Yankees in the '60's who were military veterans and managed WS winners: Houk with the Yanks and Hank Baur with the Orioles

He managed the Red Sox in the early eighties.

"Who's SHE? The cat?" my Grandma would have asked you.

Did anyone notice that she literally limped off the stage?

Katarzyna Kopeć Reminds me of Dorothy's "leading man" comment ("the fellow who gets the girl in the end") that got Sal Mineo and everyone else laughing on the June 30, 1957 episode. In that case, a subtle matter of emphasis in phrasing made it seem that Dorothy was suggesting something bawdier than she would have intended.

@@hetmanjz Thanks for the tip, albeit 6 years ago. Will make a point of finding that one!

Not mentioning the movie too much at all except for Martin.

Wasn't she married to Tony Curtis?

I just love this program.

I am still not convinced that Dorothy used any substances. Her success as a panelist belies any impairment.

She looks beautiful in this episode.

@@m.e.d.7997 Beauty is subjective, but if you worked for a talent agency and were tasked to recruit a “beautiful “ woman and returned with Dorothy, be thankful for unemployment insurance. On her best day, Dorothy is plain. On the other hand, Arlene.

Yes, they do. And Janet Leigh and the bass player, as well. Glad I tuned in! 😍

Arlene, Janet, bass player beautiful, but Dorothy’s many good qualities do not include beauty

@@igkoigko9950 beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, let alone Dorothy was in a spring chicken.

@@gregengel1616 You said "Dorothy was in a spring chicken." ? :) anyway, I agree with you and many others, Dorothy was lovely! Maybe not the regular, "same-old" same appearance but extremely appealing. Not to mention the fact of her high intelligence, professional accomplishments and humour.

@@aileen694 Oops, I should really have my reading glasses on when I send these. Thank you for pointing out that she was no spring chicken. With everything else she had going for her, she was obviously beautiful in both of our eyes.

Dorothy and Arlene were magic on this show.

Agree great singing voice and actress too.

Big Time, very sexy.

Indeed!

Natural Beauty.

She was friends with Frank. Tony was suppose to do the Manchurian Candidate but because of his affair he lost the role to Lawrence Harvey.

What affair?

@@YOGI-yl4ff Laurence Harvey was much better at sinister, strange, odd, creepy, unforgettable.

She better! Jamie is Janet Leigh's daughter via Tony Curtis.

@@JROrg2009 Janet Leigh is so much better looking than Jamie Lee Curtis. Although Jamie Lee Curtis was attractive and with a great figure.

And Tony's smile.

I think Jaime Lee is a blend of both parents and really doesn’t favor one over the other.

Were they removable?

When Eamon hosted, he let the contestants describe their own lines. It was a refreshing change.

He loved to talk 😊

And Jessica Rabbit was just drawn that way! Apparently without figure aids at this age, Janet Leigh certainly seems to have been blessed with a truly hourglass figure. Supposedly they were 37-23-35 with a C cup bra.

Very nice.

Steven Chappell they only groaned when the blindfolds went on for the first guest. They don't seem to mind them at the end.

I don't think they hate them all. I think they just that to get a reaction from the audience (like some of US would do. Pretend we hated something just to get a reaction)

It was nothing

The repeated questions about dentistry does NOT indicate she was coming off the tracks. It turns out a that a prominent celebrity, I believe Casey Stengel, had studied dentistry before their current career. Asking about dentistry was about as irrelevant as asking them if they sang or danced.

@@JLionelWaller You are correct, and thank you for correcting the original post.

She acted a bit drunk in this episode.

Hope you are not in the mood of playing Norman Bates of Psycho. Jokes apart you are lucky.

juliansinger - Weird isn't it that this 55 year old looks about 75 these days? Everyone assumed that by 40 one was "finished" with looking desirable. Not anymore, thank heaven.

juliansinger - Boo, as in Boo Radley? I guess my references are based on the wonderful book and movie To Kill a Mockingbird. And so it will be if anyone uses any name so associated.

There should have been. BUT, this show's from NY. Not Pittsburgh. Ralph was from Kansas.

Quite understandable. He could be remarkably irritating at times.

Correction, She was serious in the '50s

Purple Capricorn -- It seems to me that Dorothy has loosened up in the 1960's due to having a few wee drinkies before going on the air. People under the influence tend to laugh more than when they're not.

@ToddSF 94109 That's true, but I think there was also more to it than that. After being on the panel for so many years, I think she eventually began to feel so comfortable and at home there that she was able to allow herself to loosen up a bit.

Buzzed

Janet did not have to sing some answers, or use a real voice. Martin must have recognized the voice ... guessed Janet too soon.

+Robert Melson I have also been reading the comments, wondering how much the observations are based on knowing things in hindsight. What occurred to me is that it never reached a level where Goodson/Todman felt that they had to fire her. In fact, it would appear that neither Fates in his book or Cerf in his interviews ever mentions that it was even threatened.

One or two seasons prior to this, she inexplicably began to giggle a lot and I wondered if she was feeling no pain. However, she seemed as sharp as ever, following trains of thought and effectively playing the game. We'll see how this progresses as I continue to watch these all in chronological order. I adore Dorothy and I mourn her, though she died when I was 6.

You have given me a heads up, and I agree. Her death was a tragedy.

Two years later… Some of the more routine intros (e.g. what the next panelist is currently starring in) might have been written by staff, or simply read from a fact sheet. Bennett’s certainly appear to be his own, and many of the intros come across to me as being genuine expressions by the other panelists.

How can one resist? I was looking when she came in and sat down next to John!

Iwas looking for this comment. Wow it was so cinched and tiny!

One is a fish.

… and a defunct U.K. brewery.

@@LANCSKIDThe brewery is defunct, but it seems you can still get the beer, even on draught.

Noticed when the blindfolds come off they wipe their eyes. Probably hot under there, what with the stage and TV lights, or maybe their fake eyelashes got smooshed. IMO

Also, messy hair?

I know him best as the Red Sox's manager, since his teams were when I first started paying attention. I only found out he'd been a Yankees stalwart via Ball Four. (I was all betrayed.)

+soulierinvestments Ralph Houk managed the Yankees initially from 1961-63, winning the AL pennant all three years. In his first two years, he also won the World Series. The Yankees were swept by the Dodgers in 1963 (a glorious Series from my point of view). Houk didn't leave the Yankees at that point. He became their General Manager and Yogi Berra managed the team into the World Series against the Cardinals. Both teams looked like they were not going to win the pennant, so the Yankees had made the decision to fire Berra after one season and the Cardinals had decided to fire Johnny Keane. The Yankees then hired Keane to manage for 1965 and that was when they began an 11 season stretch without winning any pennants. Keane was fired after 22 games of the 1966 season with the Yankees in last place. Houk returned to the dugout as team manager and stepped down as General Manager. Although the team responded to Houk and played better, they had started so poorly that they couldn't get out of the cellar. Houk managed the Yankees through the 1973 season and the best finish he attained was 2nd place in the East Division in 1970. Then he managed the Tigers from 1974 to 1978 and the Red Sox from 1981 to 1984. His best finish during those seasons was 3rd in the East.

George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in 1973 and all rational thought was lost after that. The managers cycled through, players came and went, and at one point their best pitcher was a reliever who liked to sit on chocolate cakes. (Or at least he claimed he liked to sit on chocolate cakes). The Red Sox were perennial losers until 2003, when they broke the curse. Not even Ralph Houk could help them.

And that's when the Yankees were known as the Bronx Zoo. As Graig Nettles said, as a child he had two aspirations: to play major league baseball and to join the circus. When he was traded to the Yankees, he fulfilled both. But he also played some amazing defense at third base against the Dodgers in the World Series. They hit some rockets in his direction but couldn't get them past him.

@@loissimmons6558 Yes, Nettles was an amazing 3rd baseman. Also, a good hitter.

She was a fun person

No she's not.

Actually later in the year, She is hospitalized and off the show for several weeks for treatment of a substance abuse disorder.

She had problems with alcohol and pills and that’s why she’s goofy

I wondered for the previous season or two if she was getting a little loopy, but she always follows trains of thought and plays the game well. If she has a problem, she's still coping. For now.

Karl Schwinbarger - I agree - Who knows what the world will be like, if it even survives. It is scary.

@Karl Schwinbarger. In re your Psycho comment: That, plus the fact that most teenager/young adults I have asked, think that the original is much better than the remake. Then impact of that one movie is phenomenal.

Agreed for 2/3. Even 3/4 were you to include Janet. But Dorothy’s attractiveness is clearly not physical.

YES !!

Scorchio!

Is the Jackoff any relation to the Jackass?

Lois Simmons - Very good. Love the pun. Thanks. See the word play is catching.

The tenor of his remark was certainly clear.

It was nothing to fret about…

Was his instrument flat? Or did you miss the base?

Where the questioning ‘goes round clockwise’ … ie, in a straight line.

🤣👍

Mine still do.

No, not at all. Jamie has a masculine face. The sister is prettier. Kelly.

Not really. I would describe Janet as attractive and Jamie as average at best.

Never knew about the eating disorder. Agree The beautiful Janet did not age well. She dies in 2004. At that time she was suffering from a rare skin disorder as well.

@@m.e.d.7997 If I remember correctly Jamie Lee mentioned something about it in a magazine interview. Yes,I believe it was vasculitis. I've heard it is a very painful condition.

She was also an alcoholic and abused prescription drugs plus dealing with Tony before and after the divorce.

Her and Jamie both have dry, old skin. Didn’t know she smoked but most did

The body's very forgiving when young. If you're still smoking and abusing substances at about age 45, the damage becomes permanent and potentially lethal. Both my brothers stroked at age 52 and subsequently died from smoking related causes.
