R.I.P. Sir Edmund Hillary, my famous Countryman from New Zealand. I met him in the 90's at his Remuera, Auckland City home. Lovely man.❤
Diahann Carroll...one of the most beautiful actresses of all time.
Met Diahann and Vic Damone on Maui Island when they were flying in a helicopter together.She was beautyfull inside and out..best dressed lady eye ever saw too!What eye loved most about her was her earthiness as a mother figure to me when eye offered her a gardenia to put behind her 👂.And she told methat gardenias mean death in the South.But i reminded her of her own child and I told her I had a bobby pin in the back and she let put a gardenia in her hair.A very spiritual moment for us both
I just love these. I've only read of Sir Edmund Hillary and here I get to see him. Ms. Carroll was an absolute stunner and, as always, I am smitten by Dorothy and Arlene. I long for the old days.
smd ftb - Yeah, me too. Too bad we can't "import" some of that into public life today. I am sure you know what I mean.
I haven't heard that word 'smitten' in ages. The English language is a changing.
Diahann Carroll was absolutely gorgeous.
The way these people interacted with such respect for one another leaves me in awe every time. Respect is lacking in today's society no matter where in the world we live.
M N, actually, the Japanese are very respectful of each other. There are some excellent RUclips videos that demonstrate this. Look for "50 Things You Didn't Know About Japan" and similar titles.
Yes, in America at least, the hippies and drug, free-sex culture ruined all of that. Now the hippies are old, teaching in universities and running everything, and they're still ruining everything.
Thee was no respect. Girl pls sit down.
I'm so glad they mentioned Tenzing Norgay in connection with the climbing of Everest.
Great energy drink named after him too.
Diahann Carol must have been every bit as beautiful in real life as she was on screen, Look at how the men and even the women on the show with her are almost glowing with compliments and admiration.
Not what I remember from a TV interview - many years later, but the arrogrance was unbelievable.
I was told by someone who worked for Universal she was drunk on her TV special many years ago..
Carroll
@@disvids8754 Hmmm, one never knows. It is possible. But, then, sometimes the underlying nature of what is perceived as arrogance may be something else entirely. Context is all. As is one's stripe of overall character.
In other cases, many a genius comes across as abundantly arrogant - what is, in some cases, evidence of acute, interminable frustration in having few or no peers who truly understand what one's work/passion/thought processes and drives (and attendant sacrifices) are about. Such individuals, many of whom are deeply sensitive beings, endure great loneliness, what would kill many. In other words, that quality of arrogance can mask anger of no small disaffection/alienation, pain and suffering in the face of massive ignorance or baseless prejudice (of any kind).
For all her talent, Ms. Carroll was hardly a genius. Nor is this to say or assume that what you perceived as her haughty demeanor, in that interview, is without merit. Not having seen the interview myself, and my not knowing really anything about her personal background, I simply cannot say, either way. Her emphasis on a glamorous appearance, apparently at all times (in the public eye at least), may mask personal insecurity/vanity issues and/or deeply ingrained impositions of the entertainment world which she was well-suited to comply with/adapt herself well to, given her stunning physical beauty.
There is one interview I saw, in which she recounted an experience with Marlon Brando relatively early, I believe, in their respective careers. If her story is true, I respected how she said she dealt with it, and how Brando himself responded afterward. If so, safe to say that Brando likely very much respected her response as well - if only for the rarity of it. Apparently, she did not fall for what countless other women had where the young Brando was concerned. Quite the contrary.
Yet, in later years, she also openly admitted her insecurity to live alone, not knowing how to live alone, her expectation of her husbands to make her happy, and how difficult a person she was to live with. I don't doubt that. So, arrogance? Not unlikely. But, again, what lies underneath a person's arrogance. Is the arrogance, however off-putting, backed up with legitimate accomplishment and brilliance (e.g., the genius musician-artist-bandleader Miles Davis)? Or does it conceal tremendous personal insecurity? Or something in between? Human beings are rarely black-and-white. Observing any person closely and fairly is, often, to find some quite interesting things. Including, in reflection, about ourselves, yes?
@@disvids8754 Yeah, you found her "uppity", asshole.
Ms. Carroll was voted as having the most beautiful hairstyles in America all through the 80s and 90s and on top of everything there was never a question about her beauty. She was stunning always and forever... I’m saddened by her loss.
She just has her hair done like a white woman
@@dinahbrown902 So what? She was still a beautiful woman.
@@bubgum0079 matter of opinion. Looks like a white wanna be
@@dinahbrown902 Many black women do. It's their personal choice, after all ...
@@dinahbrown902
What a racist remark obviously emanating from the jowls of an obnoxious jealous woman, who knows nothing and takes every opportunity to perpetuate racism; seeing it around every corner, under every rock, nook n' cranny.
Diane Carroll was beautiful no matter her race, no matter how she chooses to wear her hair.
Merv Griffin did very well in this episode, catching onto the baby business through the audience's reaction! His quickfire exchange with the final contestant was also a refreshing change - that last gentleman knew his line well enough to give his answers quickly and confidently, without needing John Daly to step in for him all the time!
Diahann Carroll had such natural beauty. Gorgeous with little to no makeup. She didn't need makeup at all. Her figure was to die for. And she was gorgeous even when in her senior years. She never showed her age.
I was born in 1955, & in the 60s I would always watch any program if she was on it. I loved the TV show she starred in, "Julia". I loved her appearance on Sonny & Cher. She sang beautifully. Her beauty & figure were incomparable.
I was Diahann's biggest fan.
one thing i love about watching stuff from the past is getting to read little comments like these, i dont know why but i always find it heartwarming! fans of idols and stars from previous generations sharing their love and passion for them with others as well. im just discovering this lady and she really was a marvel
She's wearing a lot of makeup (but she's still beautiful!)
Women can wear makeup if they pls.
@@sillyladtanMe too! I love the fans and Stan’s of older superstars keeping their legacy alive and just showing love! It makes me so happy!🥹
Mrs. Carroll is AGELESS!💕
Diahann Carroll was extremely gorgeous
Not past tense yet; she still looks good at 83, speaking subjectively. ☺
Makes her fellow femmes admiringly gasp, "My gawd, what would I do with all that stunning beauty, elegance and talent if I had even a fraction of these!"
@@Absurdist1968 died oct 2019 84 yrs
Sonia Downey Aww what a terribly sad end to this thread. Thanks for letting us know.
I've just flicked through several images and indeed she looked beautiful right through her life.
Holy hell, the most beautiful person to ever be on this show. Nobody said anything about it. The show is fun and interesting but is certainly a product of it's time. They only fawn over white beauty.
Diahanne looks absolutely beautiful here……very elegant….she is still a beautiful woman at the age of 79
83 in 2019 !!!
@@AlizeeDefan She has passed October 2019 at the age of 84.🌹
@@lindarobinson2299 Her Birthday was the day before mine. 🌺🙏🏽
Yes, she was a classy lady for I grew up watching her shows. Blessings to you 🌷too.
When Sir Edmund was finished fooling the panel and John Daly introduced him as they were removing their blindfolds, the gasp was audible. They were obviously honored, and why not?
Even though he was only saying yes and no, it was obvious from the start that he had an English accent (actually New Zealand) yet no one picked up on it. No one tried to figure out where he was from.
And the sort of person he was. He and his Sherpa guide had braved all the perils together, so he figured they should share between them the honor of being the first, and they stepped onto the summit together.
Diahann Carroll - beautiful and talented.
she looked so young at 27, I honestly thought she was in her early 20s by how she looked as I did not know she was born in 1935
So CLASSY AND ELEGANT...
I'm glad to see that they did talk about Tenzing Norgay at least a little.
I am so sad that this amazing gorgeous woman is no longer here,but I am glad we have the videos and the work to remind us of who she was.
Dang, Arlene was so good at this. And witty. Loose: "Well, that's true of all of us."
I’ve never heard Sir Edmund speak before - or if I did, I’ve forgotten, but what a great clip!
Greatest and the best
When they were questioning Hillary, they ignored one of the earliest answers. They got all caught up in sports they forgot that he had already said he did NOT perform in front of an audience, which eliminated all the sports they were thinking of.
I was thinking of the exact same thing!
Even apart from that, it was clear from the sport answer that it was something athletic but not a typical sport.
Indeed, they played uncharacteristically poorly on that round. Usually when one line of questioning is going nowhere someone will try to change tack and come at it another way.
At 4:13, Cerf's question of Hillary: "Do you appear before the public in your sporting affiliation?" Answer: No. At 4:55, Griffin: "Would you be managerial staff of a particular team?" Answer: Yes. All the sports then ticked off were in regards to the managerial aspect (e.g., 5:32, Cerf: "Is the sport with which you are associated baseball?") So these questions were understandable.
Good point!
These people are so extremely polite and accommodating !!!! WOW! BEAUTIFUL people of CLASS!
Proud much of the late Sir Edmund Hillary whom I had the great honour to meet with his first wife in 1971. I was a student at Queen Victoria School, Parnell Auckland New Zealand.
He was surely a great man
That’s incredible! What a wonderful memory. 💕🐝🇺🇸☃️
Once, when I was a kid, my mom took me to a lecture and slide show by Sir Hillary. Afterwards, she took me to meet him, and he spent about ten minutes chatting with me. He was very personable and, to me, very tall.
Diahann was a tremendously gifted talent and also a thoughtful, courteous, and thoughtful Lady with a capital L.
I love that Daly asked after Tenzing, it's just like him to be so thoughtful as that.
Sir Edmund Hillary, wonderful to see him on WML. He was an astounding man with great achievements, they don't make em like that any more.
The pickle salesman had a wonderful voice and easy manner. He could've done radio or TV if he chose to do so. Arlene's comment to him was classic Arlene, one of her best.
Good old Sir Ed! A top bloke who deserves his spot on the $5 note!
I love how respectful everyone is and how formal they are.
That was before the hippies, drugs and 1970's decadence.
sure was-people had class,taste and decency.
I like it too. On the flip side im also imagining how restrictive it must've been at times
@@thesilentdiva Yea, I never find being respectful as restrictive. I guess you might be contrasting that with free-wheeling Kardiashian types nowadays, where everyone is nasty and exposes everything about themselves.
@@havenhurstgroup ok..... Yeah, no. I wasn't talking about being respectful. I was talking about how formal societies can sometimes be restrictive to self expression. Not in the form of disrespect.. A big part of that is what helped form the hippie movement , where ppl could be more individualistic, music started having more variety. so you could still be respect respectful but informal. Less conservative.
Ms Carroll was drop dead gorgeous! Merv picking up on the audience and their awww reaction and associating it was babies was an indication of how well he will do later on in life as a show host and interviewer. Dorothy as always was fantastic in her deductive reasoning skills.
A great kiwi, whose legacy makes his fellow countrymen most proud.
Watching Diahann here reminds me of when Whitmey Houston was first introduced to the public and how absolutely gorgeous she was. They were both just stunning as young women and both super talented. R.I.P. Diahann Carrol.
RIP Whitbey Houston
That training!
Very discerning and sharp of Merv Griffin to have picked up on the audience members who responded to the baby rattles.
The audience should be told not to give any hints to panel!! 😢
Diahann was so gorgeous, so lovely....I was fortunate to see her in Vancouver, B.C. in Sunset Boulevard.....
RIP to the Beautiful Diahann Carroll
The misapprehending guesses are infinitely funny. No wonder this show ran for so many years. The mystery guests were extraordinary.
Dorothy Kilgallen is incredibly smart
I note and particularly appreciate the recognition, by both host and guest, (possibly less than usual at the time, despite John Hunt's and Edmund Hillary's best efforts). of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay's huge contribution to the conquest of Everest
cogidubnus1953 Where’d you come up with that?
Hillary always claimed that "they reached the summit together." In other words, neither one of them could have done it without the assistance of the other.
Carol Diahann Johnson (1935-2019).
Beautiful queen. May she R.I.P.
🙏🏽🙏🏽😪😪🌹🌻🌼🌷🌺
She died when? I didn't Kno......
🙏🙏
Oh my goodness Ms. Diahann Carroll is a stunning goddess!
so glad to see an African American Entertainer on this show in 1962
One of the reasons I love this show so much. Many different races appear and all are treated respectfully.
As far as I remember, they still hadn't had a black panelist. I wonder if they ever will? About 4 more years of shows to watch.
Lovely Lady.....I remember her from her tv show "Julia"
She is also very, very good in the 1973 movie "Claudine," also starring James Earl Jones (and, as Claudine's son Charles, a 20-year-old actor named Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, who was making his screen debut).
jmccracken1963 I love the movie "Claudine" it's one of my favorites.
Me too! That's where I first heard of her, as a first grader!😊
I was 15 in 1973 I am a white male I had a big crush on beautiful Diahann Carroll. What a talented beautiful sexy classy dignified woman
Dam Diahann was a knock out. Simply beautiful.
How to interact with others in public, the standards of graciousness and common courtesy as demonstrated by both panelists and guests here have all become antique social standards in the 21st century. Diahanne Carroll, in particular, here so lovely and, yes, gracious.
Diahann Carroll was absolutely gorgeous and so very talented.
Merv Griffin created Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. He became wildly wealthy thanks to his creativity. BRAVO!
He was very much admired in his day, but I found him to be obsequious.
So beautiful !!!!
I met Sir Edmund Hillary near Mount Everest, in 1995. :-)
If most of the mystery guests weren't appearing in the new york area, the panel would never guess them.
@Greg H.
There is some truth in that, and if we (in our time) were not surrounded by different media outlets all the time, we wouldn't either.
She became even more beautiful with age. I was lucky to see her on stage in Agnes off God. I also had tickets to see her with Denzel in A Raisin in the Sun but she backed out of the engagement.
Yes, she actually did look better with time.
The Madison Swuare Garden event they were talking about was Kennedy's birthday celebration, where Marilyn Monroe sang "Happy Birthday Mr. President"
And one of the few times the panel guessed someone’s occupation during the “free guess” thing at the beginning was with Marilyn”s dramatic coach in 1955. ruclips.net/video/SuoGnwWNYvU/видео.html
Jan Anderson Link is broken.
Merv Griffin showed himself to be one of the most observant, bright and personable guest panelists in the show's history.
My lord Diahann was such a beauty.
And look at how handsome Sir Edmund Hillary was.
Bad teeth.
@@JimBalter nobody cares
Loved watching the late Sir Edmund Hillary lol .
Classy people. All of them. TV shows are not like that anymore.
Blame the Bloomers ! They decided their parents were not "cool" enough and went full cocaine-addicts.
BLOOMERS? pantaloons?
Goofy GrandLouis Wow! How bigoted can one person be?
That's because the black people were still required to act "white".
@@goofygrandlouis6296 can we blame the boomers for the Kardashians too?
Jeez...I miss the days of people knowing how to be elegant and poised on television!!
👏🏿👏🏿 Sadly in the 21st Century those Days are LONG GONE.
I miss days when peole knew how to form cohesive sentences. No "umm..", "ahh..", "like" all the time.
I love her, I was not aware of her broadway background.
Diahann Carroll is what you call the empress of elegance and class plus beauty!
Diahann Carroll! What a knockout!!! ❤️
Sadly today Diahann Carroll passed away at the age of 84
😢
RIP
The lovely Ms. Carroll is also on a 1963 episode of Password. She was still appearing in No Strings.
She is very beautiful indeed... and a gifted actress.
DIAHANN SHE WAS ONE BEAUTIFUL LADY REST EASY GOD PRECIOUS ANGEL
"..How extremely stupid I am. I met Sir EDWARD..."
Well, you said it!
Arlene is just so saucy!
Agree. She's great.
Watching this show again I am reminded of how I actually loved that the pickle purveyor and Merv got a little rhythm going with only one or two words back and forth to get to the line. It kept the game going at a brisk clip and everything was quite clear without a lot of extraneous words. It was a pleasing Noel Coward-style interlude.
DIahann Carroll was so feminine and sophisticated.
To think that Merv Griffin created Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. He became wildly wealthy thanks to his creativity. BRAVO!
@@janetmarletto6667 I specifically recall in regard to "Wheel of Fortune" that Merv gave credit to his wife for creating it. It is a sort of "hangman" and she suggested it to him when they were driving together and he carried it out.
Sir edmond Hillary, first man to climb Everest also a kiwi
She's so young her and gorgeous it's cute the way the men stand for her.
They ALWAYS stand...for goodness sake
There's a photo of Diahann Carroll alongside Marilyn Monroe at a party that followed JFK's birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden, which took place the day before this episode, as mentioned in it.
Also, the show that's mentioned here, No Strings, was considered quite progressive for its day, since it featured an interracial couple -- the man was played by Richard Kiley.
They didn’t say the 1st to scale Mt. Everest in the reveal. Now over 5k people have reached the summit. The climb up is now filthy with garbage, feces, dead bodies, you name it.
Fun to see a young Merv Griffin. Looks so different.
Plays a good panelist...
R. I. P. Diahann! Beautiful lady!
I think it's quite endearing and respectful that Mr. Daly refers to women as "Miss" and their first name. Miss Diahann...
VERY respectful to the husbands...... not
@@LarsRyeJeppesen HUH?
Diahann Carroll is just gorgeous.
They missed the key clue in that he DOESN'T play in public.

13:15 Arlene's face.....LMAO!!
and Diahann Carroll.....I've never seen her this young. I've only seen her in her older years. She's gorgeous! :)
Have you seen her late 60’s series “Julia”? It’s here on RUclips.
Rest in Paradise Diahann. ☀️🌅💙💚💛🧡
So interesting how Merv Griffin picked up on the reaction of the lady in the audience and made the connection to babies.
Diahann Carroll was quite a beauty in her day.
Looks like shes a beauty every day
Exactly
In the spring and summer of 1962, Merv guest hosted "The Tonight Show" a number of times between the time Jack Paar quit in March until Johnny Carson's contract ended with ABC and he could ascend as regular host on October 1st.
Merv DID get his own daily 55 minute daytime talk show on NBC the same day that Johnny took over late-night.
Two shows from this era featured black performers as equals--What's My Line and Twilight Zone. They were decades ahead of their time.
Also "You Bet Your Life", which had many non-white contestants, and even had white contestants sometimes paired with people of other races. YBYL was also one of the first programs on TV to have a racially integrated orchestra, though they certainly could never make a point of this on the air.
What's My Line? Thanks for sharing that; I didn't know.
+phtevlin Star Trek also fetured a prominant black female, that was 1966
+phtevlin Absolutely.
You know, the people complaining on this post about the loss of gentility since then would probably decry the equality of Blacks, too.
I didn't realize just how special this lady was til I saw the movie "Claudine".
Wow. Sir Edmund. Kind of had a tragic life. I think his wife and possibly child died in plane crash on way to visit him.
From Wikipedia: On 31 March 1975 while en route to join Hillary in the village of Phaphlu, where he was helping to build a hospital, Louise and Belinda were killed in a plane crash near Kathmandu airport shortly after take-off.
@@suible thanks for this. Seems no life is w/o its heartbreak. :(
Sir Edmund went on to marry the widow of Peter Mulgrew who died in the plane crash on Mt. Erebus in Antarctica in 1979.
@@kiwitrainguy didn’t know that. Thanks. It kind of ties up two ends of the (small, but vast) world.

Yeah a New Zealand hero is on what's my line.
my goodness, Diahann Carroll was stunning!
One of the great joys (among many) in watching WML is when the panel is really working hard to get the occupation or mystery guest and the are COMPLETELY befuddled.
And it takes a lot (usually) to befuddle this crew!
