Thanks for putting this together!
Lots of work I bet!
I've seen some videos by Mark Shaw. I like him, but he's too focused on Dorothy and Marcello, forgetting how the establishment and military industrial complex hated JFK. But he's right, we should hear a lot more about Dorothy.
Thank you for your comment. Dorothy is my favourite panellist on What's My Line?
Very well documented
I knew almost all of it because of an addiction to WML
I'm so addicted to WML!
same :)
Thank-you for sharing fascinating story.
This is a very well-researched and well-presented video. Well done! "What's my Line" has always been ny favorite game show having watched as a kid. Not sure, but I think it was on Sunday evenings at 10:30 PM. Im so glad so many episodes and "best of" collaborations (which i love) are available on RUclips. Its great to hear how much you enjoy WML. You're so right - its fun to see the clothing they wore, the way they spoke and their overall politeness. Even though i lived through that tine it us so nice to see those things again. I have watched several of Mark Shaw's presentations about Dorothy on RUclips and the information he discovered is amazing. After hearing Mark's presentations I feel pretty strongly that Dorothy's death was a homicide. Too many ?s and odd things. In addition what a shame Dorothy's work on the Kennedy assassination has gone "missing".
Thank you for sharing your great video - subscribing to your channel!
Thank you.
Thank you for covering this. Dorothy did not buy the official story at all. And she found out too much because they murdered her!!!
That's what I think too. I feel sorry for her three children, especially Kerry because he was still a child. It's so sad. I love watching her on What's My Line? She is my favourite panellist.
I've been watching What's My Line for months now, and just finished the sad episode where her death was announced. Great show, but not the same without her.
I'm so addicted to WML!
Yeah, she was killed to prevent the publication of her book on the Kennedy assassination. She got the Marylin Monroe treatment.
…and it was quite obvious as all her writings amazingly disappeared on the night she died. She was found sitting up in bed as if reading a book,however the book was upside down.🤔 She was a drinker but was found deceased from a drug overdose.
There are too many things wrong with how she was found.
Rubbish. Funny how it was necessary to "silence" her but none of those crackpot conspiracy authors who spent years and years crowing loud and long about how they were going to blow the case wide open...
She resembled my grandmother in appearance.very , beautiful talented lady indeed.
I'm a huge fan.
Thank you
Well done
Thank you. I love Dorothy. Her performances on What's My Line? are amazing.
I enjoy your little films. I too like visiting celebrity gravesites. Respect! ;)
Thank you. It's nice to pay tribute to celebrities and visit their resting places.
Nicely done.
Thank you.
I had no idea that she was involved in a murder plot. Wow. She was still very young. So sad.
Yes very sad especially for her young son, Kerry.
Arlene was injured as a result of the mugging. Contusions and a broken collarbone…can you even imagine mugging a woman of her age!!?!! Disgraceful
It's very sad that she lost her necklace from her beloved husband.
The broken collarbone was from the car crash.
My father worked at a security guard where Robert Kennedy was killed, he told me he had that day off.
Oh wow.
For me , both Dorothy and Arlene were eye candy. Both very beautiful.
First of all, most of the truly significant information presented in Mark Shaw's books is NOT new, NOT based on his personal investigation, despite what he shamelessly tries to make his readers believe. The proof of that is that it's derivative of a magazine article called "Who Killed Dorothy Kilgallen?" by Sara Jordan-Heintz, which was published in 2007. She was the FIRST to print the name of the man suspected of being involved in Kilgallen's death; the FIRST to print interviews with persons close to her (like Marc Sinclaire) who had never been interviewed by police; the FIRST to reveal new forensic information that pointed to murder; etc. Now Sara has produced\ a new 2024 book out now called "The Incredible Life & Mysterious Death Of Dorothy Kilgallen". It runs 414 pages and contains a huge amount of NEW information that no other book contains. She has found the "smoking gun" of the case: the fact that the number one (unofficial) suspect in Dorothy's death, Ron Pataky, was connected to the CIA. He revealed this in exclusive tape recorded interviews done for this book, that NOBODY ELSE HAS. Pataky admitted not long before his death that he had participated in a covert operation launched by CIA director Allen Dulles and run by E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis. The latter said Dorothy "got whacked" because of her plans to "blow the lid off" the Kennedy assassination. The new book traces the evolution of Dorothy's probe of the JFK murder, which no other author has ever done. DK came up with major revelations that undermine the government's official story about a lone assassin. Jack Ruby's attorney, Melvin Belli, called Dorothy's reporting "the ruin of the Warren Commission." The new book also goes into great detail about the JFK assassination with up-to-date information based on important revelations gleaned from recently declassified government documents and other sources. So this is both a fantastic biography on Dorothy, and also the JFK case. This book is available in a print version on Amazon and other sites, and as an ebook on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc.
Oh thank you for all of this information. I find the whole thing fascinating. Dorothy is my favourite panelist on WML.
Like JFK infamous final days hours
I thought this was quite interesting.
It is very interesting, but she should have left it alone. It wasn't worth putting herself in danger and poor Kerry was left without his mum.
Here's why Kilgallen was not murdered.
a) Kilgallen's exchanges with Ruby came during his public trial where he could have come forward with any statement he cared to make... and didn't.
b) Her reporting was only going to be part of a much larger book on other trials she'd covered she wasn't planning on publishing for months, hardly an urgent expose.
c) If she was in possession of any info that was going to blow any conspiracy wide open, she was sure in no hurry to do anything with it.
d) She was hardly less high-profile a person than Kennedy himself. Killing her just becomes another murder, requiring dealing with more murderers, more evidence, more suspicion, more publicity, more cover-ups... the last thing some conspiracy would need.
e) The idea somebody marched into her apartment, with her family home, no less, and shoving pills down her throat is laughable.
f) It was oddly NOT equally urgent to kill Ruby, his attorneys, or any of those crackpot conspiracy authors who spent years and years crowing loud and long about how they were going to blow the case wide open...???
The pills were mixed into her drink, possibly by her 'boyfriend' Ron Pataky.
Read his two poems that he wrote after her death.
Watch the videos of her two hairdressers on this website
www.thedorothykilgallenstory.org/dorothy-kilgallen-in-video.html
They were witnesses to what was going on in her life and felt threatened themselves.
@@famousfinalhours How about you actually address one word of what I just said above? lol
Funny how this sinister hit squad never got around to killing any witness:
- in or near the limo
- on the knoll
- in the motorcade
- in the Depository
- on the Secret Service
- in Kennedy's entourage
- on the medical staff at Parkland Hospital
- at the Tippit crime scene
- in the theater
- on the Dallas PD
- on Air Force One
- on the medical staff at Bethesda Hospital
- Howard Brennan
- Johnny Brewer
- any member of Oswald's family
- Jim Garrison or any of his stooges
- any of those crackpot conspiracy authors who spent decades publicly vowing they were going to get to the bottom of the conspiracy
- Jack Ruby himself
- Ruby's attorneys...
But high-profile TV celebrity and household name Kilgallen had to be "silenced..."
Dorothy dud not meet Johnnie until after Jerry was born.
Her relationship with Johnnie Ray started in 1952 or 1953. Her third child was born in 1954. His name is Kerry not Jerry. There is a video of her hairdresser saying she told him Johnnie was Kerry's father.
