I fell in love with Nancy Kwan in “ The World of Suzie Wong”!!!! I have been to Hong Kong several times and lived in China many years and she is such a beautiful and talented woman !
I just cannot get over her hair. Think about it: this show was taped before JFK had even been sworn into office, and we all know what even the most fashionable women looked like, in general, in those days. Kwan's look is just stunning and so, so far ahead of its time - mind-blowing.
James, I think she was sweet and dear.... and had long shiny hair, but look at Raquel Welch, Ursula Andress, Tuesday Weld, all of them guests of that show...... aren't these incomparable three ladies genuine beauties???
If Nancy Kwan could time-travel from 1960, looking like this, with the hair and the dress, everything, and attend a party anno 2022, she would fit right in!!! Now that was amazing to see. Never saw any other female at that time, being so "futuristically modern" 🤩😆💗
Princess Grace of Monaco once said to a guest, “Babies either resemble Winston Churchill or Gandhi. I have one of the Churchill variety.” The baby was Prince Albert of Monaco. The guest: Winston Churchill!
This is a most wonderful TV programme, nearly all of the people concerned are civilized, charming and mostly a credit to the United States.. David Reid (UK,)
Yes, one of the things I like best about Arlene is that she is always so gracious, supportive and encouraging toward other members of her profession, both male and female.
I had only watched short clips of What's My Line until just a few days ago... Now I've watched several episodes, and I can't stop! I'm so glad I found your channel, it's such a great collection of episodes. I hope you keep uploading, it's very much appreciated. :)
I just started watching it about 6 months ago; same time I started watching "To Tell the Truth." Now I can't stop watching either one (although this one is 10 times better)
It haunts me seeing the nurse that cared for John Kennedy Jr and knowing that he had round the clock care as a child but that we still lost him so early in life 😔
Not only was Nancy Kwan gorgeous...her character in Suzie Wong was charming, sympathetic and poignant. She did a terrific job. And I've been to Wanchai!
Thanks for posting. No wonder Nancy Kwan was/still my first crush and love. HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY Suzi Wong! You always brighten my days and inspired me thru everyday challenges for sixty years counting. “Wow” she’s beautiful and what a legend!
Yes, the movie came out in 1960 (very controversial then) but I only saw it for the first time in 2020. Now I own the DVD. I wish I could have had a Nancy Kwan in my life because Asian women are the most beautiful, charming, and desirable in the whole world. Are you reading this, Le? Are you reading this, Daisy from Central Market? You are greatly missed.
I will never forget luscious Nancy Kwan in the "I Enjoy Being a Girl" scene from Flower Drum Song... for obvious reasons. And at 83 she still looks great.
This is why I'm surprised that she didn't identify here on WML as a singer. Maybe another vocalist dubbed in that performance of "I Enjoy Being A Girl"!
I wonder where that signature went....imagine how much they could get if it were auctioned off...that was not a blackboard that was erased🦋🦋🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼♥️♥️♥️

Nancy Kwan ♥️ some of God's best work. I remember I used to watch this show every Sunday night. Arlene was classy and beautiful also. Interesting fashion of that period and hair hairstyle's. I know that it's cliche but what a simpler time, sure the sixties had it's own problems. But think about it, no cellphones and we all survived. A time when the pace of life was slower.

Another gorgeous actress, from back then, I always thought she resembled Natalie Wood, not a stretch, her ancestry Chinese/English, Natalie Wood was of Russian descent, those of Eastern European ancestry, the Slavic people, often have some or trace East Asian ancestry, hence that gorgeous dark straight hair.
John F. Kennedy, Jr. was born on November 25, 1960, about 9 days before this episode aired. Sad that he died in that plane crash at age 38. I still remember him at JFK's funeral saluting his father's casket. Some things are impossible to forget.
It is logical to assume that he was saluting the American flag draped over the coffin. And to make the moment even more poignant, the funeral service occurred on John Jr.'s third birthday. Furthermore, if you look at the photo closely, there is also a military officer saluting at the same time. And here, from Penn State's archives, is at least one account of how this moment came about and how it was captured on film. sites.psu.edu/hannahirossblog/2015/11/19/john-john-salute/
When the first elected Labour candidate reported to Parliament, in his only set of working class clothes; a guard looked him up and down, with obvious disdain, “Are you here to work on the roof?” The back-bencher replied “No, the floor.”
Nancy Kwan was certainly pretty but have you seen her son Bernard Pock? He was a super handsome man- Though he looked white with blonde hair and eye color he got his mothers' jaw and overall facial features which made me look super good looking. RIP Bernard Pock
Compelled to chime in here and give my regards also to the beautiful Nancy Kwan. I was obsessed with her as a child when I saw The World of Suzy Wong and her subsequent movies. She's ethereal. Glad to report she's still with us. On another note: Arlene's tiara is stunning. Never saw one like that before; a starburst off to the side. So beautiful.
This might be correct. Long straight hair was nto anywhere close to the hair styles of actresses to that point, as far as I know. Maybe in a few occasions they let their hair down, but curly, shorter, or put up was typical. The only one I can think of that came close was Veronica Lake.
I found it interesting that Mrs. Rowe was asked what JFK Jr. looked like. Had no photos of him been available to the public at this time? I know this day in age we would have known immediately what a new presidential baby looked like!
I actually visited the Wanchai District a few times back in the day (pre-1997). It was very nice. Also rode the Star Ferry. I never saw anyone who looked anything like Nancy Kwan.
I read that after Suzie Wong premiered, many men visited Wanchai looking for another Nancy Kwan. I saw Suzie Wong for the first time in 2020, sixty years after it was filmed. Now I own the DVD. Wish I could have had a Nancy Kwan in my life.
Nancy Kwan was so gorgeous and sweet! Does anyone see a resemblance to Diane Lane here? Diane (being caucasion) still has similar eyes and facial features. Nancy was half English so I wonder if Diane has English in her too? They are both pretty ladies!
RIP Patrick Bouvier Kennedy (August 7-9, 1963) (aged 2 days) you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family. RIP to the Kennedy family that has passed away my thoughts and prayers go out to them.
Nancy Kuan is British being born in Hong Kong before 1999. Everyone at the time she born was a British Subject. Margaret Thatcher made everyone a British citizen. Her father was Chinese her mother, Marquita Scott, depending on what you read was Scottish or Scottish-English/ British. Regardless she was British and although, encouraged her daughter's dancing, Nancy went to the famous Sadler's Wells Ballet School in London, she insisted Nancy also get an education. The use of English here is because people though England and Britain were synonymous. They weren't then and aren't now, four countries making up the UK.
The problem with the celebrity guest segnent was that they tended to be people conveniently in New York for some reason. If they were up on local celebrity news the panalists couldn't miss.
Nancy was dressed more or less like in the movie. She's simply adorable, an very good actress and dancer. Her beauty is outstanding as her sweet, natural mood. I just love her 🥰
@@janeiwasduncan8463 Well the television version yes. IRL they are located on the Washington Navy Yard (where Jethro Gibbs and his NCIS crew are based. IRL they are based MCB Quantico - also the home of the FBI Academy (and the BAU))
I'm pretty sure Bennett was just messing with John during the introductions; it wasn't the first (nor the last) time that he deliberately misrepresented John Daly's middle names for comedic value. And yes, he did misspeak when he called Nancy Kwan "Ms. Kwai", but Dorothy also mistook Mr. Ball for "Mr. Bull". It's an honest error that could've happened to anyone, so there's no need to go after Bennett specifically.

Sometimes John Daly was so annoying when he would (or try to) answer all the questions for the guests. He seemed to have an awfully hard time letting other people talk at times.
Those WML names defined in full (continued) Daly - (i) An extremely verbose fellow. (ii) Mildly creepy, especially around beautiful young women (iii) A corn merchant.
Doug w. Yes, "oriental" was a commonplace term in 1960 for people whose origins are Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Tonkinese, etc. "Asian" became the far more acceptable adjective within the past 20 years or so. If you never heard of Nancy Kwan, you never saw the film adaptation of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "Flower Drum Song". Ms. Kwan played the role that Pat Suzuki had played on stage. She was trained in dancing, so she was selected to play the role partly because she could dance. However, her singing was dubbed in by someone else.
Dick Wilson oriental is more specific than asian. more connected to south east and east asians. wouldnt include indians or sri lankans who are still asians. personally being called oriental sounds weird. i connect it more to things rather than people. say asian or south-east asian. but just my opinion
Doug w. I have an arts/literature background. My understanding is that Oriental is an adjective used to describe culture/art/history...in other words, you call "things" Oriental but not people. So it's appropriate in any era to speak of Oriental carpets, Oriental ceramics, Oriental mythology or Oriental craftsmanship but to define a person it's proper English to use their geographical area as the delineator. However as this isn't common knowledge for the average person, and books in the 60s and earlier often used the term Oriental as a noun rather than adjective, it's more or less universally accepted since it's been in use so long in this way.
CDU9176 It’s really not acceptable nowadays. Books in the 60s and earlier may have used it, yes, but not today. Books in the 60s and earlier said a lot of things we’ve moved on from today!
I must concur with a few commenter's about how beautiful Nancy Kwan is. Most celebrities from this era are familiar to me, but I really don't know anything about Nancy 😊
The panel was ALWAYS immeasurably gracious, especially Arlene Francis. She never failed to make everyone feel completely welcome. For that era, nothing beat this show for how kind they were to guess, regardless of ethnicity, class or culture.
The way it stumbled, in the beginning, is cringe-worthy.

Kelly02895 I loved it too that she wrote in her Chinese and English name. Her hand writing is beautiful

Nacy Kwan is beautiful.
Sometimes John Daly was so annoying when he would (or try to) answer all the questions for the guests. He seemed to have an awfully hard time letting other people talk at times.

I never heard of Nancy Kwan but she was beautiful. I wonder if it was pc to call her an oriental girl instead of asian back in 1960 though.
Doug w. Yes, "oriental" was a commonplace term in 1960 for people whose origins are Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Tonkinese, etc. "Asian" became the far more acceptable adjective within the past 20 years or so. If you never heard of Nancy Kwan, you never saw the film adaptation of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "Flower Drum Song". Ms. Kwan played the role that Pat Suzuki had played on stage. She was trained in dancing, so she was selected to play the role partly because she could dance. However, her singing was dubbed in by someone else.
I am half Japanese. It's OK to call Asians "Oriental". It's back in vogue again!
Dick Wilson oriental is more specific than asian. more connected to south east and east asians. wouldnt include indians or sri lankans who are still asians.
personally being called oriental sounds weird. i connect it more to things rather than people. say asian or south-east asian. but just my opinion
Doug w. I have an arts/literature background. My understanding is that Oriental is an adjective used to describe culture/art/history...in other words, you call "things" Oriental but not people. So it's appropriate in any era to speak of Oriental carpets, Oriental ceramics, Oriental mythology or Oriental craftsmanship but to define a person it's proper English to use their geographical area as the delineator.
However as this isn't common knowledge for the average person, and books in the 60s and earlier often used the term Oriental as a noun rather than adjective, it's more or less universally accepted since it's been in use so long in this way.
CDU9176 It’s really not acceptable nowadays. Books in the 60s and earlier may have used it, yes, but not today. Books in the 60s and earlier said a lot of things we’ve moved on from today!
I must concur with a few commenter's about how beautiful Nancy Kwan is. Most celebrities from this era are familiar to me, but I really don't know anything about Nancy 😊
I just saw Gene Beene on, "To Tell the Truth," only minutes ago!
the men must have walked very close to the walls with Boothby around
