Frederic March was an excellent mystery guest! He disguised his voice admirably. Was a great popular actor in his lifetime!
strange voice , indeed ...
Fredric March was one of the greatest actors who legacy is vastly underrepresented today. His range and output of work is always pleasant to watch, and I wish that more people today would get back into his films. I've always been a huge fan of his and encourage those who aren't familiar with him to check him out. And I found him extremely handsome in his prime, not that that's the most important thing, though :)
OK with you !
you all prolly dont care but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost the login password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Yehuda Lennox instablaster ;)
With Tracy, the best face to face on screen.
Smilin' Through, 1932, with Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard. March's tears when he lies to Shearer that he doesn't lover her anymore, because he is maimed, but truly loves and wants her, is so poignant.
Fredric March's banquet speech in The Best Years of Our Lives is one of the greatest speeches in any film and he delivers it beautifully.
"Yes, Mr. Milton..."
You are right on there Preppy. His whole performance in that excellent film was outstanding. His supporting cast were also first rate
His performance in the Musical adaptation of Scrooge on television, was a work of art. He played Scrooge. Basil Rathbone, played Marley.
He was one of the very best, in whatever he did. Including baffling the panel on this episode. Fantastic!
Dorothy’s children were delightful, so well mannered, her little girl curtsied when meeting the panelists , adorable!
Dorothy's kids were absolutely delightful! And as a 12 year old, Jill was still dressed like a young girl. I was born a little later than Jill and Dickie, but I remember when I and my friends were dressed like this. I'm looking at a photo of my 6th birthday party, in 1954 and half of the little girls have ribbons in our hair.
I loved how she curtseyed in front of each of the panelists. :)
And how polite, well mannered and well dressed children were.
@@accomplice55 I was born in 1950 and I remember my Mother teaching me to curtsy, wearing a dress, hat and gloves when going to “The City” (NYC). Amazing how times have changed. I feel like a relic but a well mannered one.
If we all could afford private boarding schools.
I was born well after you, but I genuinely wish that children dressed that way today. In fact, I wish that the fashions of the 1920's (an era before our times) would make a resurgence. The fashions of yesteryear are much classier than today's rags.
Love that Jill Kollmar curtsied!
Dorothy herself was always well mannered.
yes that was back then when ladies acted like ladies and ofc i was NOT even born yet. :D but european ladies did that well into the late 70s :)
I LOVE that Fredric March curtsied!
Me too!
Steve Allen was so funny and so deadpan.
Love how the kids were able to "pick-up" on each others laugh line.
Never saw March do comedy, to bad, he was quite good at it.
It was great how they legitimately kept giving "no" answers at the end and that no one on the panel ever asked if there was more than one of them. Their voices, although juvenile, were distinctly different. It's an indicator of how little adults pay attention to children who aren't their own flesh and blood, perhaps more back then than now. I would think that all of the regular panelists would have been invited to a dinner party or some other social evening at the Kollmar/Kilgallen home by this time, and Miss Truman was described as a "good friend" of Miss Kilgallen. As such, they would have met the children at some point in the evening. Just about every parent I know would be proud to show off such bright and delightful children to their friends before dispatching them to bed or to a neighbor to take them and watch them for the rest of the evening so the adults can do their thing.
At the age that Jill and Dickie were, I can remember my brother and I interacting with my parents guests, especially their closest friends who we knew as "aunt and uncle", not "mister and misses". It served a number of purposes. It gave my parents a chance to show us off, perhaps to show the latest thing we learned and how much we grew since the last time these people saw us. (And of course, the people visiting would do the same with their kids when my parents visited them.) It helped us to not feel totally left out of the evening. And it reinforced the teaching we received in proper manners.
I will add that, little ninja sneak that I was, I would tiptoe out and listen to the adult conversation, jokes and laughter until I heard someone get up to go somewhere where they might discovery me (or until I was caught by surprise). I always loved talking to and listening to adults. It expanded my knowledge and horizons faster than most children my age. Then again, by the time I was around age 3 or 4, I wanted _to be_ an adult, not a kid.
Now I'd like to trade those 30 or so years that I wanted to be older and now be 30 years younger. But I can't find the exchange desk. I'd better get out my reading glasses. There's probably something about it here in the fine print on my receipt ... :-(
Check out Nothing Sacred with Carole Lombard.
@@loissimmons6558 When my parents had dinner parties, we were already banished to our rooms before the guests arrived.
I LOVE that Arlene worked hard, and thought very carefully about how to word questions to Dorothy's children in order to get 'no' answers - hoping to get them as close to the 'full prize' as possible.
Agree ... what fun it was, too 😂
Truely a man's man. I have watched and enjoyed this clip over and over. But again, what a man! and the finale curtsey was the icing on the cake.
The note from Dorothy....priceless!
Dorothy's kids were awesome
Where are they today?
Janei was Duncan Around
@@janeiwasduncan8463 curious also. And how did. Dorothy gave birth and never look pregnant on the show

I think Fredric March is THE Most Funniest Mystery Guest ever to appear on WML! He is absolutely hillarious! It's not often I LOL but I can watch this many times and still enjoy it. Though I do think he seems a little bit uncomfortable being on the show but he disguise it with an uncredible variety of funny voices and one-liners. The best one is:
-Do ladies swoon over you in pictures?
-Noooo!! 22:01
And he finish by making a curtsey to the panel. 23:10 :-)
Johan Bengtsson That's the beauty of these shows Johan--I've long been a fan of Mr. March but never thought I'd see him as unexpectedly outrageously funny as on this broadcast! Marvelous...
Michael Klein He sure did know how to do comedy as well. Masterly done!
Johan Bengtsson Hi, Johan-- haven't seen you comment for a while! I've been waiting to see a new comment from you to make sure you're aware of the weekday "rerun" episodes. We started over from the first episode a couple of weeks ago, one episode every weekday, to facilitate more of the great discussions that the later videos have (viewership was low for the first few months and many people haven't watched the 1950s shows at all, or at least, not since GSN stopped rerunning the series).
If you're interested, check out the main WML channel page where the daily rerun is prominently displayed at the top. Several of the regular commenters have asked about you-- we miss seeing your comments. :)
What's My Line? Hi G. ! :) I came in so late for your first round of WML (ca 6 months ago), so simultaneously as I watch the daily WML I also started to watch the show from the beginning. If I had known that you'd start a rerun I had waited until now...
Poor Margaret Truman. She had a rough night.
Fredric March was hilarious. Curtsying each panel member finished me off, lol.
One of the best mystery geasts ever - Frederic March !!!!!
I wish they had had him back again. Rosalind Russell also. Instead we have multiples of Martin and Rossi and Jack E. Leonard.
This episode is an absolute riot!!
If an actor is not in a current movie, it’s tough for the panel. A current movie really narrows down the guesses.
I love how Steve Allen curtsied in response to Jill Kollmar. So cute!
Other than Helen Hayes, Fredric March is the only actor to have won two Best Actor Oscars and two Best Actor Tonys. He turned down, to his regret, playing Willy Loman in the original run of "Death of a Salesman," but he did play the role in the film version, when he was nominated for his fifth and final Best Actor Oscar.
I often tell the joke about Fredrick March If Fredrick March the 3rd married Tuesday Weld she would become Tuesday March the 3rd
Oh no! Now we have to beware the asides of March!
Lois Simmons LoL
mrpuniverse2 - Ouch. A lover of puns.
Lois Simmons - Double ouch.
One of the best! Fredric March!!
This is one of best mystery celebrity appearances.
Another Fredric March movie that I enjoy is "I Married a Witch" with Veronica Lake.
Have heard great things about it and he is a wonderful attractive actor. Will have to try and see it!
Yes it’s a very funny movie!
Fredric March... the best man to portray Matthew Harrison Brady...
sad ending ... great character for Fredric MARCH ...
As many have already commented, Fredric March was a great actor. "The Best Years of Our Lives" is well worth watching, as it delves into the problems faced by 3 veterans returning from WWII. Another film in a similar vein is "Till the End of Time", a Robert Mitchum movie that came out the same year and dealt with WWII Marines trying to readjust to civilian life.
That situation is so relevant today. How does one resume a normal life after experiencing the horrors of war? There's a personal aspect for me, because my father was affected. After fighting in the Pacific in WWII, his daily life seemed quite normal, but he had nightmares about his experiences for the rest of his life until he passed away in 2011. I have to believe that the young folks of today returning from deployments in combat areas have similar problems. Anyone reading this far, please watch the two movies mentioned. They will help you a lot in understanding the veterans of today.
Yours is a very thoughtful and moving post Mike.. I hope that things have gone well for you in this life.
@@alangranville Thank you for your very kind wishes, Alan. Things have gone very well for me. In 10 years as an active duty Marine, I was fortunate enough to never be deployed to a war zone. Although I miss my father, I'm happy that he is in a place where he could finally find peace.
Fredric March was one of the finest actors of the 20th Century.
Dorothy's children have obviously been introduced to many celebrities. They showed amazing respect and control.
Fredric March's greatest ever achievement:
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde!
This was not Fredric March's first network TV appearance. owever, Gil Fates in his WML book wrote that a couple of days after March appeared on WML, he phone Fates sounding upset asking to see the kinescope. Apparently the public reactions he had gotten for his 10 minute appearance on this game show were off the chart compared to reactions he had received for his stage and movie work, and he wanted to see what was so special. "Nothing was so special. It was his first encounter with an audience of [whatever] million people." I disagree. I think March's appearance was one of the landmark mystery guests.
OK with you ...
Fredric March had them completely stumped. They should have inquired about old Hollywood. He started his film career in the 1920's.
I might be wrong...but I do believe he played the president in a movie called "7 days in May" starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas. It was a political thriller/intrigue movie and I thought it was pretty good.
I love how polite Dorothy's children were. Dickie bowed to the ladies and Jill curtsied to everyone. You wouldn't see that in 2015.
+wchumphries I thought the same thing... ancient history.
I was born in 1952, & in first grade--which would've been in 1958 for me--girls were taught to curtsy & boys were taught to bow. We had our manners drilled into us, & would've been spanked for not being polite to everyone. To this day I call people "Ma'am" & "Sir" on the phone & in social situations. Behaving with dignity & treating others as dignified just seems proper to me, as natural as breathing. I'm so grateful to have been raised with good manners.
Social media finally took away what was left of manners. A young person does not have to greet you or say "hello" in passing because they can stare down at their phone now and ignore you - a license to be rude.
+wchumphries I'm sure Dorothy trained her well in such things -- and most likely prepped her for the show, too! :)
+Michael BarnhartI don't think staring at media when someone is talking to you is "a license to be rude" -- it's just plain rude, however prevalent the practice may be!
Fredric March movies NOT TO MISS:
Design For Living (1933) Romantic
Best Years of our Lives (1946) Drama
Inherit the Wind (1960) Drama
Decades of brilliance. NEVER a bad performance. One of our greatest actors--and best celebrity appearance on WML !
+K Browne Agree completely--and for me, his Dr. Jekyll is better than the Spencer Tracy version of a few years later. And I really like Tracy!
+K Browne Yes, absolutely. Starting with "Fury" in 1935, I can't remember any bad Tracy performances--although a few were phoned in. I've always thought his Jekyll performance to be a bit over the top. Let me know what you think if you see it. Love "Captains Courageous" and "Tortilla Flat among many others...
+K Browne Thanks--I'll look forward to your thoughts.
+K Browne I really like your analysis--overall we both prefer the March iteration, perhaps for different, but overall similar reasons. My first feeling was--why remake this film so soon? To showcase Tracy/Bergman? Probably. Agree that the brand new face of Lana Turner was a revelation.Too bad she didn't have the"chops" to become a truly complex actress, but she's alluring, gorgeous, and comes off as truly frightened in this vehicle. Agreed special effects are more convincing in the older film. Of course the newer film has moments, but March was superb overall, as he seemingly always was, and makes for the better Jekyll/Hyde. When I said"over the top" for Tracy, I meant that he seemed to be trying too hard--and not succeeding. The much more nuanced approach of March is simply terrific. Finally, Miriam Hopkins was so very delicious in her youth, (be sure to see "Trouble in Paradise" and "Design For Living" which actually co-stars March and Gary Cooper.) and is wonderful in this role. Bergman is gorgeous, but again I'm not sure I buy her as the naive barmaid. Let's talk some more. In a rush now....
Frederich March was also great in the original A Star Is Born with Janet Gaynor
Jill sure looked like her mum
And so polite,giving a little curtisie to each of the adults!
Margaret Truman's laughter at 22:05 is delightful ❤️
As is the one at 19:13 🙂
The production staff mispelled Mr. March's Christian name on the moderator's desk. Intersting.
It was actually his stage name - his real name was Ernest Frederick McIntyre Bickel - but he definitely saw the error as he rubbed his nose. Good-natured chap. It sometimes got misspelled in movie credits - just saw it spelled wrong at the end of BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES.
This is one of my absolute favorite "special guest" appearances - the others that come to mind that were a lot of fun for their moments of humor were Herbert Marshall, Dave Garroway, and Steve Allen's May 18, 1958 appearance where he shows off just how quick-witted he could be.
I love Fredric Marsh in Inherit The Wind....and if you see it, yet again you'll be struck by how he doesn't look or sound like Fredric Marsh!
I like Frederic March quite a bit, but honestly, that is Spencer Tracy's movie all the way.
I have never heard of Fredric March before this (probably because I'm under 20 years old). He's hilarious!
He was one of the fine actors of yesteryear - his movies were/are second to none!;
I would recommend any to be worthwhile seeing.
I am 17 and I had a crush after watching a star is born when I was around 13.

I found this because Wikipedia said Frederic March’s mother was From England. She was born in Illinois, her father Thomas Marcher was born in New York. I never met him, but my father would visit him from time to time.
Your father used to visit Fredric March?
I like when she asks if ladies swoon over him and he says no. Haha
I still do!!
Maggie Truman acts as if she's never seen the show before.
Always thought she was called Margaret not Maggie
@@m.e.d.7997
I called her "Maggie" as she was a personal friend of mine.
Interesting that just an episode or two ago Arlene mentioned the novel "The Desperate Hours," the film of which included Frederic March in the cast.
That movie was so intense, I had trouble watching it.
I cannot watch it till this day.
The one with Dorthy's kids is one of my favorite segments.
Obviously Arlene owned more than one heart shaped diamond necklace over the years. Bennett points out in this show that the necklace now has a diamond in the middle of the heart and in later years Arlene would again wear a heart shaped necklace without the diamond insert. The one she wore in the later years was also a little larger than the one in the earlier episodes.
I read that Arlene's original necklace (gift from husband Martin) was stolen from her and then replaced with a substitute. Also that at one time, an extra diamond was added as an anniversary gift.
Five years later I know, but The Maple Leafs are playing tonite and I'm too disheartened to watch them...
@@aileen694As Arlene was getting out of a taxi, the driver pulled it off her neck😢
See Frederic March in Warner Brothers' "ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN" (1940), one of the most beautiful films ever made.
(he's also great in the original "Star is Born", very unfortunately overshadowed by the 1954 version which did, however, feature the great James Mason in the same role). LR
Today's RUclips Rerun for 1/21/16: I believe this is the first show where the producers sprung the trick of having a panelist's family members show up as guests.

Dorothy's children were so polite. This was great to see because kids nowadays don't even have the slightest bit of respect or politeness seen back then. Now I'm not saying all the kids are like that just a portion of them. My parents are baby boomers and they taught my brother and I to be respectful and polite to others which I'm grateful for having been given those lessons. Anyway, back to the show: Fredric March was hilarious! I love it when he's asked if he's British, his response is: "On my mother's side, I am." LOL! Fun episode.
Catholic School!😆
Jill and Dickie Kollmar are so cute!! Such lovely big siblings to Kerry
In memory of Bette Le Van, 1922-2015.
I was born in 56 and saw some of the later episodes first run. I'm noticing that more than any other characters on the show John Daly has a manner of speaking that we used to think of as "sounding like an old person" by the1970s and thereafter. This is especially apparent when he welcomes and converses with contestants and when he's explaining the game rules. Anyone else make that observation?
I was born in '51. Daly had perfect elocution and English which, by today's low standards, sounds formal and old-fashioned.
I saw a few clips of the other panelist children. That when I saw the air date of this episode I was hoping the you uploaded the whole show.
Arlene: "There'd be no need to disguise your voice"
Assuming dear Arlene that they were
My next door neighbor asked me to play Santa because her older brother coming with his kids and my younger siblings were going to attended So I wore a Santa out fit came in saying Ho Ho I saw Mrs Ripley’s older brother and went quit It was Frederic March. He grasped my hand and thanked me. I shall never forget
Fredric March was just too intelligent
Well it's unfortunate that Dorothy passed away when his boy was only 10...
Richard Hannay his boy?
And Dick Kollmar then abandoned Kerry as he was the lovechild of Dorothy and singer, Johnnie Ray.
@@tiamia7139 WHAT?! Dorothy never struck me as the type of woman who would have an affair! REALLY?
So how old was Kerry when her husband abandoned him? Did he and the other kids get along?
The oldest were in their 20s, and Dorothy's parents we're still alive hopefully he went to live with one of them
@@godschosenvessel4473 I read that, sadly, he was put into foster care.
I'd most likely act a lot like Arlene at 5:13 if I knew any of the MGs' identities or other guests' lines. 😊
Funny thing is that after John Daly told the panel to take off their masks and see who the mystery guest was, Steve Allen still didn’t know who it was.
Very enjoyable!
Miss Truman was not very good at the questioning, but you could tell she was nervous and she still carried herself well! Shame about all the cuts in there, but it is an old transmission so I can't complain too much
Strange Fella - Margaret Truman wasn't bad at guessing and was very attractive besides. She was probably a little nervous if this was her first time on this program.
- Frederic March was a wonderful mystery guest. Now I'll have to look for others of his movies.
@shirleyrombough 23:52 8173 She did mention she was nervous 😊
Steve Allen has a top knot!!
Dorothy's daughter curtsied.How precious.
Fredric March was certainly a major movie star. But was he a well known celebrity?
"..Once You Get thru with them.. are they (ever) Any Lighter ,? ..🤔😐😶"
🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
March was one of the funniest mystery guests! (I was completely unfamiliar with him though, and after looking him up on IMDB, I don't think I've seen any of his movies, so out of curiosity: Anyone of those movies worth watching today?)
Frederic March was a huge star in his day, not all that well remembered now. His filmography is very long, but I've seen very few of his films despite being a guy who watches almost nothing made after 1960. He was in many "prestige" pictures which failed to become enduring classics.
He's probably best known for his roles in the first talkie version of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1931), and the minor classic "Death Takes a Holiday" (a 1934 comedy about Death personified-- March plays "Death", who is tired of his job and decides to take some time off and see what it's like to live as a mortal.)
What's My Line? Well, he's the lead in "The Best Years of Our Lives," which won 7 Oscars in 1946 including best picture and best actor for March. TBYOOL is probably considered a classic by most, still ranked well within IMDB's top 250, focusing on the difficult readjustment period for veterans in peacetime. I'd say this is probably his best known role today, in terms of what gets shown on tv and in school classrooms.
He was also the male lead in the original "A Star is Born," and if you like screwball style comedy I recommend "I Married a Witch" with him and Veronica Lake, which was one of the inspirations for the classic tv show "Bewitched."
Blain Johnson Catch his performance of Clarence Day in "Life With Father." He's magnificently funny. It's a great role; it was one of the longest running play ever produced on Broadway, and Marsh is terrific in it.
Alexandra Drake William Powell played Clarence Day in the film version of Life With Father,
daniel stanwyck You've misread what I wrote, daniel: "I've seen very few of his films DESPITE being a guy who watches almost nothing made after 1960." One can't have seen everything! I've seen him in a couple of films.

Here's an interview with Kerry Kollmar from 2016, regarding his activities in aid of finding permanent homes for dogs:
ruclips.net/video/rfyVpB285fs/видео.html
Jill Kollmar certainly looked like her mother.
was margaret truman related to president truman?
His daughter.
The second known time the panel was introduced backwards.
The second episode with 2 official MG masked games.
The 5th time a duo/group appeared together as a MG (more than 1 head)
Mrs, LeVan was the 6th known regular guest from a foreign country.
Jill Kollmar was the 4th MG to make a TV debut on WML. (Dickie was on IGAS)
As of 2021, Jill & Dickie are the 2nd & 3rd MG still living. Margaret O’Brien from the 25 Feb 1951 lost episode is 1st.
The 4th known time a MG stumped the panel.
At 5:16, Arlene said, “I had what Dorothy called a weenie.” (14th usage of the term)
Steve said “good night, boys” for the 20th time.
At 4:53, Margaret said “they” twice. No one remarked on it or seemed to notice.
"Gambling Casino" seems a bit redundant. Is there such a thing as a casino with no gambling?
Yes, occasionally. The Catalina Casino in Avalon has never hosted gambling.
Do they put people on steam cabinets no they put people in cement blocks if they don't pay up
Mr. March is a good damn legend! He was funny as Hell in this video!!! ;D;D
Ms. Truman deserves a yes: yes; they are not in the theatrical world at all; no.
March did a few comedies but should have done more.
Arlenes pendant got snatched from her neck by a mugger when she was 80
DOROTHY'S SON AND DAUGHTER
DEALS CARDS IN GAMBLING CASINO
Why they going to the right?
The panel did poorly with March. After they established that he was a famous actor, the next question should have been.."Have you won an Academy Award?" I would bet that Dorothy was the missing link here, and would have got it. Margaret Truman, a non-talented opera star(as her father "made" her), seemed weel out of place and overly nervous. Funny, it eventually turned out that she did have talent...as a best selling author!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😄☺️😊😊😊😂😂😂😂☺️☺️☺️😊😊😊😊😊😂😊
One of the comments here insinuated that Dorothy had an affair. They stated that her husband wasn't Kerry's father and that when Dorothy was killed, the husband abandoned Kerry. Is this true? Dorothy never struck me as the type of lady to have an affair. And if it IS true, it sounds like it would make for a great movie. How did her husband react when she had the affair? Why did her husband abandon Kerry (outside of the obvious), and how old was he when he was abandoned?
A half a century after her death, a movie could STILL be made about this. Has anyone considered doing that? I'd love to see it.
And on another note, someone, in one of the comments here said, "Dorothy never looked pregnant to me."
Well, how's some supposed to look pregnant sitting behind a desk all the time!
Dorothy was not killed.

Bennett Cerf wasn’t too sharp. He shouldn’t have outed those kids so early in the game. As smart as he was, he wasn’t smart enough to give them more of an opportunity to play the game,
Arlene wasn’t any smarter in this regard either.
Kids were smart like their late mother. ❤️

The panelists were already seated for the weeks preceding the birth rather than walking in so that is probably why she didn't show her pregancy.
How can someone look pregnant sitting behind a desk all the time?
A friend of mine was Fredric March's doorman in NYC for ten years. He
said March was the coldest and the most unfriendly person in the building. Even his neighbors disliked him. He never said hello, never
smiled, walked with is nose in the air. Didn't believe in tipping
at Christmas time either ! A real cheap SOB....
Gosh what homely looking kids. Wendy and Pugsley had more going for you them
Daly could be a real dolt. The female casino dealer from Puerto Rico had to ask if she could identify the hotel where she works.
He almost never gave any interesting guest even a brief moment to talk about him or herself.
Charles Winokoor - Never has there been a man more in love with the sound of his own voice or more devoted to his self-promotion. Daly was a wonderful moderator during the actual game. But, he was a horror with the guests: always talking of his related experiences and the accomplishments of friends in the same field as the guest. There were times when even Steve Allen was the mystery guest and had a new book or PBS discussion show to promote and Daly neglected to even mention it. Thank God, most of the time Arlene and Bennett were up enough on the goings-on in the extended world of those who were well known for true accomplishment that they would pipe-up and say that they needed to mention to book and how funny it is. When they did a retrospective of the show because it was unique among its kind, they could not use any of Daly's conversations with the mystery guests because they'd been hoping for information that would help introduce future generations to an Irene Dunne, etc., and instead they got Daly doing his mental masturbation routine or slobbering all over the guest. He was so bad that he hustled some unknowns out the door in the manner of "here's your hat; what's your hurry," while speaking of George Jessel as though he were the Second Coming and everyone in the business knew even then that he screwed teenaged girls. So, Daly, except while moderating, is not the good ad for the show. It is Bennett's terrible word plays and Arlene's kindness about the talents of all and Dorothy's shrewdness as a game player that made the program.
who on Earth were Jill and Dickie Kollar anyway? They have been forgotten from show business a long time ago! Someone please respond.
They were Dorothy Kilgallen's children, not show biz figures.
And the name is Kollmar.
Dorothy's kids were adorable. Too bad this son was having problems at this time in his life. I hope they got resolved. There goes John again: "great and good and very dear friend Dorothy." The man never did anything that wasn't overdone beyond what even "gilding the lily" could describe. He didn't like Dorothy at all beyond her being a good player in concert with his good moderating. He didn't have to go overboard to the point where it is embarrassing and sounds phony.
