Angela was one of the greatest actresses and people of the 20th Century. The world is a worse place for having lost her. RIP Angela Lansbury.
Asronishing in a straight role as the domineering mother in the original Manchurian Candidate. Streep played the mother in a later version, but just didn't capture the same icy ball-breaking evil of Lansbury's.
That's my Granddad (the Beefeater) , been looking for this for years , thanks for uploading. weird hearing his voice again for 1st time since 1978. So proud.
It's always great to read comments from relatives of contestants-- and pretty rare. I'm glad you stumbled on the video!
PROTEK123 That must have been the trip of a lifetime for him. Travel to New York and appear on American television in the 1960's! He must have been a fascinating man.
+PROTEK123 Omg he looks so much a gentleman a real englishman. love it
+PROTEK123 I so enjoyed your Granddad, I didn't want him to leave. He was so informative, interesting, funny, I could have listened to him for hours. Lucky you.
Ohhhh...Thanks. Lovely story.
My Grandpa is Sampson Baker, the frog hunter from Florida. He passed away about 8 years ago but he still always spoke about going to the "big city" and being on this show. I'm so glad we could watch this and keep this 💜
very cool
This isn't just an "oldie" it's history
He was a delight to watch Crystal. I know you treasure this deeply.
Wow. Seeing your grandfather on TV.
Yaaay! May I tell you that my white-sheep brother was taken in to court as a boy for "frog-gigging out of season." The judge said he was unaware of a frog season and exonerated him with no prejudice.
When this show was filmed they never imagined that someone in 2020 would be watching it on their telephone
Lynne Donaldson Telephone?!? I'm watching it , as I always do, on my big TV!!
i am watching now monday 4 jan 2021 great stuff
@@davidsanderson5918 A lot of us watch these on our phones.
Watching on phone in October 2023
Pia Lindström was a goddess!!!❤❤❤
Angela Lansbury is the most! She is the most talented, gracious, and kind lady. I know many people who worked with her, and all of them sing her praises!
Randy Sills - One can tell she was/is not only very talented but a good person as well. And Gaslight was an incredible movie, as I look for it on TV whenever I can. Brava Angela Lansbury.
👍
I love the way Steve Allen always stands up for a guest. Not only was he a class act, but he was one of the most intelligent, and wittiest “comedians” ever. A true humorist in every sense of the word.
Real gentlemen back then stood up for guests. Yet another tradition sadly lost.
He also was one of the few who used to applaud John Daly when he's first come on.
Steve Allen was a Renaissance Man, a true class act.
@@hcombs0104 Lost because no one sees any decent reason to stand up for another since the majority is no longer considered worthy to stand up for, ethically! Not to mention the ego disease that went viral among populations nathionwide!!🤭 God bless the ones who’d still do.
They were told to do that…don’t give these “gentlemen” too much credit.
Plus, they were getting paid handsomely.
I get such an enjoyment from watching these What's My Line videos that I don't get from anything currently available. What an era where people aspired for something higher in their dress, behavior and manner of being regardless of their economic class.
Angela is still with us in 2019 and she already got her oscar finally and is named a dame
Wonderful lady 🙏...bless from AZ and Ecuador 🦁 ✨
Oscar? No, she hasn't won an Oscar. Tony, yes, but not an Oscar.
@@vinnieviddivicci5459 i meant her lifetime achievement oscar
@@sebastianhein3147 - Oh! Gotcha! 👍
She has an Oscar, five Tonys, and six Golden Globes.
Watching this episode after it appeared on my RUclips feed the day after Angela Lansbury passed away. May she rest peacefully 🌺
Angela Lansbury was a gem! My most favorite actor.
Growing up, I always thought of Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote. It was only later I learned of her distinguished Broadway career.
I'm not into Broadway. being known for her screen work is nothing to sneeze at
Angela was It!!!!
orangeknight81 See her as the jilted lover in the early or earliest version of the classic creepy movie Picture of Dorian Gray.
Angela should have won the Oscar for best actress in a supporting role (she was nominated) for her performance in The Manchurian Candidate. Her performance was chilling, especially the tense scenes with Laurence Harvey toward the end of the movie. A great cast including Frank Sinatra and Janet Leigh.
In all fairness, Patty Duke was excellent as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker and was certainly deserving of the award.
I still thought she's a writer until now. Though I knew she played a witch in Broomsticks.
The admiration the panel has for Angela is charming.
I used to love the movie Bed Knobs and Broomsticks with Angela Lansbury. I watched it over and over again when I was a kid.
DebbieFaubion bobbing along, bobbing along on the bottom of the beautiful briny sea
disney effed up the newer released versions. they added scenes and used completely different voice actors to try and match the original cast. it's really awful and I will only seek out the old version.
Portobello road....Portobello road, place where the riches of ages are sold!
I love it too. Such an entertaining movie.
Angela looks so posh and cool in her dress and hairstyle.
Almost half a century later, Angela Lansbury (89) and Pia Lindstrom (76) are still alive and the Queen (88), is still on the throne.
God save the Queen(s)! :)
She's still on the throne? Knock louder!
Joe Postove Come in?
Johan Bengtsson Enter!
Joe Postove Off with his head!
Aw Angela 🥺💔 Mame was one of my favorite cast albums to listen to growing up, she was such a unique treasure & consummate performer with such a prolific resume, and by all accounts a kind and wonderful human being. She will be sorely missed!!
Dorothy would've LOVED the beefeater, bless her. British traditions really enchanted her.
These past couple of weeks, millions of us have been seeking out clips with Angela Lansbury. How is it possible to love her more with each view?
"Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived." I spent several years watching *The Tudors* unfold the story of Henry the VIII, and now the "Beefeater" has managed to condense the entire series into only 6 words! ;-)
LOA1955
He was both an entertaining and an informative guest -- great stuff! :)
This is a very famous mnemonic that all British schoolchildren learn. It was the right thing for the Beefeater to say here, but it is not like he invented it.
He was very entertaining. Glad they had such a good talk with him.
For those interested, Angela Lansbury was 41 years old here.
There was a decorum and elegance that we don't see today. A time when being erudite, sophisticated, witty and well-read was celebrated and to which one aspired.
@Justin Stewart Indeed.
That's such utter nonsense and I'm really tired of hearing it. People in movies and tv were under several highly restrictive behavior and dress codes back in those days. They weren't better people, just under more restrictions. You'd be shocked to hear most of them talk if the cameras weren't on. There are plenty of talented, respectful actors working today, like Denzel Washington and Ryan Gosling.
@@tiawilliams5690 Agree, and there were hams and overbearing characters like Bennett Cerf as well.
Mark McCondach We do see it....and we hear it too (BBC Radio 4)....but just not during peak viewing weekend TV entertainment, that's all.
@@tiawilliams5690 Humans are DE-evolving not only physically but mentally. Our food/air/water and "culture" is toxic. This is the result on an assault on the planet for PROFIT. It is not nonsense it is fact. The standard of living has been declining since appx 1970 and things are only going to get worse, One only need look around to see how low the bar currently is set both publicly and privately and what is now considered "acceptable" behavior. Humans are on the way out.
Arlene was a treasure ,and such a lovely lady
Angela Lansbury mentioned making the movie Gaslight with Pia's mother. Angela was only 19 years old when that movie was released so she was only 13 years older than Pia. She was nominated for an Oscar for that role when she was only a teenager. She's always appeared older than what she is. She once played the role of Elvis's mother in a movie yet she was only a 9 or 10 years older than Elvis at the time.
"Blue Hawaii," in 1961.
So she's only 41 here, and yet looks at least 55+. Interesting how she looked younger in some ways (like around the eyes) when she was cast in Murder She Wrote many years later... :)
She's only 41 here. That's a rough 41
That's also true when she played Laurence Harvey's mother in "The Manchurian Candidate". She was only a couple of years older than Harvey.
@@Noura-bv9pv It's not that she looked a "rough 41." Look at her when she was younger too. She just always looked older than her age. I think that has helped her in her career. I remember several years ago wondering if she was still alive. I looked up her up and realized she was alive and well.
Angela Lansbury.....now there is a STAR.
I really enjoyed the Beefeater's segment--glad they gave him a long interview. Reminded me of my one trip "across the pond" years ago (after his time, I'm sure).
Beautiful, talented, funny , intelligent and a Lady. I adore her. Many great roles
Miss Lansbury in the "Manchurian Candidate", so totally creepy, when we usually associate her with lighter fare, just shows her range....
Well, if you want to see her in "creepy," you can try GASLIGHT or THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY or THE PRIVATE AFFAIRS OF BEL AMI or KIND LADY (the 1951 version) or A LIFE AT STAKE or PLEASE MURDER ME!
She is also very good as Queen Anne in the 1948 MGM version of THE THREE MUSKETEERS. And she's also good in A LAWLESS STREET, co-starring with Randolph Scott in one of his many post-World War II Western films.
jmccracken1963 She could be very creepy, but was very hot when young, esp Gaslight
Lucille Ball was seriously considered for that role
Wrong
Don’t forget State of the Union for her talent in ruthless roles!
I love how the most serious performers are the funniest guests
24.27 Angela Lansbury!!! Love her !!!!! Master of the Arts !!!!!!
Oh my stars and garters! I remember my grandmother telling me about these shows, and she was a big fan of Angela Lansbury, as am I. :)
I love Angela Marie Lansbury and I really like the way everybody's speaking. Also in Italy if I watch something from the 50's the way they speak is... more nice, more lovely.
Who is Angela Marie?
@@paulinegail20 the lady writing on the blackboard.
@@alansorensen5903 I know, her middle name is Brigid. Oof-
I think it's meant to show her nickname at the time "Mamie"
@@morethanamess1980 ahh no it's supposed to be her full name as she wrote it Angela Marie
Angela Lansbury’s first role in Hollywood was in Gaslight
starring Pia’s mother, Ingrid Bergman.
Yes --- I luv that movie and A-LANDSBURY--- played the maid. ...
It's strange how I learned the name "beefeater" yesterday and today I'm seeing it in use and even get the explanation of how it came to be.
I grew up watching this, I still love it.
Rest In Peace, Angela. You're missed very much.
Great show, amazing to see such wonderful entertainers in their prime, including the panel!
I find it embarrassing when Bennett or Arlene imposes on the mystery guest to perform. The guest has to hem and haw in an effort to dodge the request, and it is always an uncomfortable moment. Ethel Merman handled it best when she answered Arlene's request for a song with the response, "At these prices? No! No, you have to come and see it!".
I know...I hate it
I enjoy the short performances. For many
People this was their introduction to the music
Totally agree, wake up Bennett!
Yes, it really "puts them on the spot" and the fact is that they may be exhausted and their voice may "crack", causing embarrassment..
Bennett made a mistake by asking her to sing a line from the title song, which is sung TO her, not BY her in the show.
A great actress (and she has grown old extremely well).
This aired the day before I was born! lol
This aired six days after I was born!
The Beefeater was a man of service. Honorable indeed.
So was my Dad.
Angela Lansbury has more of an accent now than back then.
Thank you for this! Dane Angela Lansbury is,was, and always will be a treasure! For those that dont know and are u terested you can search Mame on RUclips and can watch the performance!
This women is fantastic and deserves every accolade she receives!
Pia Lindstrom did fine in her first go-around as guest panelist. She could have shown up more often, but her schedule with KGO (San Francisco ABC affiliate) kept her from this.
We'll see her again on the June 4, 1967 episode, with Jean Shrimpton and Jack Jones as the respective first and second Mystery Guests.
Pia Lindstrom was poised and intelligent. Her half sister,Isabella Rossellini, is super creative and inspiring. She is seen in elegant ads.
Dame Angela Lansbury was 89 last October 16th, 2014.
Joe Postove Like so many 80's and 90's kids, I remember her from when USA Network aired reruns of CBS' "Murder, She Wrote", and when Disney's 'Bedknobs & Broomsticks" was released on VHS.
*****
Don't you also remember her as the talking/singing teapot in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast?"
SaveThe TPC Oh, how could I forget that!
*****
And *I'm* old enough to remember seeing "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" in the movie theater when it first came out! In fact, I think I *might* have seen it at Radio City Music Hall, but that could be my memory playing tricks on me.
SaveThe TPC I have a vague memory that "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" was banned by Pat Robertson's CBN "Family Channel" some years ago. Witchcraft and Magic, you know.
I'm still kicking myself for not trying to get tickets to "Mame" when I made my very first trip to New York in September, 1966. My dear friend from University of Alabama, "Martha Belle" was somewhat upset when she came down from Boston for the week-end, and NO tickets! Oh well--we did take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry--whoop-tee-doo!!!
I saw that production. Angela was awesome. I still play the cast album.
I love the movie Gaslight....morso the version with Ingrid, Angela and Joseph Cotten.
I also like the original 1940 British film version of Patrick Hamilton's play, starring Diana Wynyard, Anton Walbrook, Frank Pettingell, and Cathleen Cordell in the roles which would be played by Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotten, and Angela Lansbury in the 1944 MGM remake. It's well worth the watch, if you can find a copy. (It's available in DVD.)
jmccracken1963
I've seen it before...
@@jmccracken1963 I prefer the original, believe it or not, although the Boyer-Bergman version is more famous. I have read that once the remake was made, that studio tried to destroy all copies of the original film.
@@preppysocks209 how awful
It's a wonderful bit of history watching the Beefeater come out with ER on his uniform, knowing that Elizabeth II was the monarch way back when this was recorded in 1966 and to this day she still is. She's been a monarch longer than most of us have even been alive. That's pretty impressive. It's fascinating to see history being demonstrated like this.
Well all you have to do to be Queen for 67 years is have the right parents, be born first and have no brothers (like Henry VIII's family), have your father die pretty young, have good genes (like a mother who lived to be over 100), and a little luck. I wouldn't characterize a person who did that, pretty much all due to circumstances beyond her control, as being impressive for that reason.
preppy socks However, Elizabeth should not have been Queen because her father was second born. Her uncle, Edward, abdicated the throne to marry an American, Wallis Simpson. If he had not done such, the royal lineage would be quite different.
@@Rogn1 Thats true, but was good at the job.
One day, when I was 6yo, my mom kept me home from school so I could watch the coronation of the new queen on our little B/W tv. She told me, "This is something you'll always remember." I had no idea how long it would be before I could watch another coronation... or how old I'd be.
I love Angela Lansbury who had being appeared as Miss Eglantine Price in "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" and that was tremendous of her doing that in 1971, I love it and it's the best thing for me in peace forever.
Mr Allen always makes me chuckle. Hes so simple with the things he does, but they humor me.
Yes, he had a remarkable delivery combined with marked intelligence and excellent wit.
This is the first of two appearances of Pia Lindstrom, Ingrid Bergman's first daughter on the show. She also went on to appear several times on the Syndicated revival.
She was beautiful...
Beautiful show..
Corny shite.
Am I the only one who liked Angela Lansbury's costume?
I can't even begin to thank you enough for posting this. It has brought me so much joy and entertainment from a bygone era oft forgotten or not cared for by today's youth. I'm 34 and wish I could have grown up in my parents time, because the world today is such an asshole.
SXiPPY Dennison The world is such an asshole! Brilliant. I'll have to use that myself.
SXiPPY Dennison - Sad to say I agree with you.
I'm so grateful that I grew up in the 50s and 60s, before the world became an asshole.
As of July 5, 2020 Miss. Lansbury is still alive at age ! 94
April 2021 still alive
It's a uniform not a costume. As your a guard at the Tower of London, a British bobby wouldn't say he wears a costume, theatre people wear costumes.
Given the frequent use of the word “costume” as a synonym for “uniform” on these shows, I suspect that this was common practice at the time-or at least common in the circles in which John and the panelists moved.
I'm no expert, but in many UK movies people say "I'm not going in the pool because I do not have my bathing costume". Some people don't mean it the way most Americans do.
"Divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived." Good thing to remember King Henry VIII's wives. :) 10:18
Oh it's a very good thing to remember, but can you remember all of his wife's names, by heart?
Paul Edelstein No I don't think so.. Jane Seymour (never forget that name!), Anne Boleyn. Then there were three Catherine and another Anne but I don't remeber their last names or in which order they came. I know that Anne Boleyn was mother to Queen Elizabeth I.
Anne of Cleaves and Catherine of Aragon
5 more!
Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, Catherine Parr.
Had Henry VIII not died of syphilis, it is quite possible that Catherine Parr could have ended up being the third beheaded wife, because she was consorting politically with a number of noblemen who were plotting against him.
angela speaks with an american AND an english accent here!
didn't notice it really.
That's a really unusual first game. To have his name not be a secret, but rather have his clothes be a secret.
*****
They used to do things like that more often in earlier years. Remember the Buckingham Palace guards they had on?
+SaveThe TPC What episode was the one with the buckingham palace guard on?
Das Maus Search for the Joe DiMaggio episode. After two years I'm sure you have already figured this out.
In 2019. Angela Lansbury is still alive .
And even now in 2021 :-)
@@freddolson2324 And 2022.

OMG YES !!!!!!!!
10:18 🎶and tonight, we are liiiiiiive!!!🎶 🎤👑💜 imagine telling these folks that decades later there would be a mega-hit pop musical on Broadway and the West End about the six wives of Henry VIII lol
Cope, for women’s everyday headaches 🤣 love it
When the old man gets home from work. LOL
How embarrassing that so many Americans know very little English history. Henry VIII was already dead when Lady Jane Grey was beheaded. It was his daughter, Queen Mary I, who sent Jane to the chopping block.
Actually Daley was born in South Africa.
They know the important history, like saving your ass in '45.
Truman Capote's ball mentioned at the beginning and described by Mr. Daly as the greatest party of the year has since been described as the greatest party of the century. There are entire books written on that Monday night Black & White ball.
verdatum I'm picturing the rather dark and sinister party of masked guests in Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut."
I have heard that it was special in the sense that it was the first time that there was a major party where two social groups that hadn't really previously mingled - the American aristocracy and and major entertainment celebrities - did.
Diverse (professions & fields & outsider friends) masked & costumed celebrities ball, hard to imagine but lots to talk & brag about being there. What books because cost, planning, etc. must have been a hoot.
Loved seeing the Beefeater, I visited the Tower, a special treat as a fan of Gilbert & Sullivan's show about them, The Yeomen of the Guard
Love this lady, very talented lady
Pia Lindstrom was born to Ingrid Bergman and Petter Aron Lindström. Later, Ingrid divorced him, and married Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini. The marriage produced twin daughters in Isabella and Isotta.
pia lindstrom...as in "the lindstrom/tolliver early edition" on wnbc-tv during the 1970's?!
There's a little bit more to the story. While still married to Dr. Lindström, Ingrid Bergman had an affair with Roberto Rossellini and gave birth to a son, Robertino Rossellini in 1950. She couldn't get work in Hollywood for quite some time after that because American audiences were so shocked by Bergman's extramarital affair and pregnancy. She then divorced Lindström, married Rossellini and gave birth to the twins, Isabella and Isotta Rossellini in 1952. Finally, in 1956, she was cast in "Anastasia", won an Oscar for Best Actress in that film, and was back in Hollywood's good graces. All a tame story by today's standards and one of my all-time favorite actresses. She was a lovely woman and I note that Bennett Cerf was right -- Pia Lindström was as beautiful as her mother was.
Between 1958-1979 Ingrid Bergman was married to the Swedish Theatrical Producer Lars Schmidt who had the European rights to almost all American musicals; The Show Boat, Annie Get Your Gun, Oklahoma!, Kiss Me Kate, and not to mention My Fair Lady. Later he produced West Side Story and Jesus Christ Superstar.
Lansbury's reply about musical movies I think was not entirely accurate. She appeared in a few MGM musicals: The Harvey Girls with Garland and Bolger. "Til the Clouds Roll By" with Robert Walker and Sinatra. And she was in some huge musical smashes on Broadway.
"The Harvey Girls" appears to have been the first MGM musical in which she appeared, one year after "Gaslight." Despite her obviously capable singing voice, as heard in "Mame" and "Sweeney Todd," her singing voice was dubbed in that film.
Angela's answers (nervously) seemed highly scripted & inaccurately designed to disguise her new fame on Broadway, a massive hit with national media attention.
Truman Capote's Black and White Ball was THE social event of 1966. It is still remembered by urban anthropologists nearly 50 years later!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_White_Ball
She is still movin' and groovin'! Great actress!
It is weird to hear her say she is not known for her singing. When I think of Angela Lansbury I think of beauty and the beast, Mrs Santa Claus, pirates of Penzance, and bedknobs and broomsticks. All musicals. I love her singing.
Wonderful. Thank you for the upload.
No one working on the 1948 MGM film "The Three Musketeers" could have imagined that 6 of its stars would become WML MGs and two others WML guest panelists. Besides Angela Lansbury, the other future MGs were Van Heflin, Vincent Price, June Allyson, Gene Kelly, and Lana Turner. The future guest panelists were Keenan Wynn and Gig Young. Vincent Price was both.
Different times..classy folks but not affected.
One of Angela Lansbury's early roles was Edwina Brown, the older sister of Velvet Brown. The movie focused on Velvet, it was called National Velvet. The young actress who played Velvet was Elizabeth Taylor.
My father had a HUGE crush on Angela Lansbury lol
My father fancied Sabrina and Suzy Wong.
The year before [1965] in movies, Lansbury was with Glenn Ford and Geraldine Page in "Dear Heart;" in the "Harlow" with Carroll Baker; in "Amourous Adventures of Moll Flanders" with George Sanders and Leo McKern; and in "The Greatest Story Ever Told" with Jesus.
Also she was great with Victor Mature in Samson and Delilah.... also in with Judy Garland----- The Harvey Girls.........
First contestant. Educational WML at its height.
I am glad they didn't have him on the last show with Sinatra.
Murder She wrote.
this episode is one after Arlene Francis was mugged of her long-worn, lovely heart necklace that her husband gave her years ago, and that she always wore. this is a replacement version.
The necklace was stolen in a mugging in 1988, so I think this is still the original.
Jennifer - Traumatically the necklace was torn from her neck by a thief as she exited a taxi in NY in 1988, two years after her beloved, Martin Gable, died or he'd have probably gotten her another to replace it. So this must be the original show.
@@philippapay4352 It was a tough break to lose the heart necklace. But necklaces can be replaced. Much better to think about how fortunate she was that her actual heart was not stopped in the course of the mugging. Her health is far more important.
@@preppysocks209 I could not agree more. It was just very sad that it happened two years after her beloved Martin, who gave it to her, died and she herself was unlikely to buy another for herself at that late stage of her own life.
Jennifer NO...not according to this article:
"A diamond heart-shaped pendant and necklace that Arlene Francis has worn for more than 40 years was snatched from her neck by a thief as she walked down a midtown Manhattan avenue.The heart, a gift from her late husband Martin Gabel on their first anniversary, is ″very valuable,″ the 79-year-old radio and television personality said. But more important, she said, is the sentimental value she places on the necklace, stolen Tuesday. ″He’s gone, and now it, too, is gone,″ Ms. Francis told the New York Post. Ms. Francis, best known for her quarter-century stint as a panelist on the TV game show ″What’s My Line?″ said she never took the necklace off." The Associated Press, July 1988.
Pia Lindstrom follows Jeanne Parr and Sue Oakland Cott as guest female panelists and possible aspirants to replace Dorothy Kilgallen on the WML panel who eventually became part of news teams on local NYC television stations.
Lois Simmons ,- No one could really replace Dorothy Killgallen. What a tragedy.
They were very respectful to ghe Beefeater. Arlene called him sir. Thats respect for age. And Im so glad they had such good conversation with him.
Unfortunately, the insufferable Steve Allen had to make the crass remark about gin. Ninny.
Oh my heavens, Lansbury's amazing funky dress. Wow.
she should have won the Oscar for The Manchurian Candidate
Quintessential evil mother gets her comeuppance, amazing performance, so satisfying, such a layered movie.
Wonderful performance .!
The beefeater was wonderful. His explanation of the French derivation of the term Beefeater was an education.
Ingrid Bergman won the first of her first three Oscars for "Gaslight." Angela Lansbury was nominated three times for Oscars in best supporting actress category and never won. Gaslight. The Portrait of Dorian Gray. The Manchurian Candidate. She definitely should have won for The Manchurian Candidate. She was good in the first two, but support actress Oscars are kind of subjective as a category anyway. Ethel Barrymore and Anne Revere won those years and they were good too.
+soulierinvestments And Patty Duke won for The Miracle Worker the year Angela lost for The Manchurian Candidate. Understandable, but if ever there was a case for awarding TWO Oscars for the same category, this was it! Both were superlative and deserving of winning!
Ethel Barrymore won for "None But The Lonely Heart," and Anne Revere won for "National Velvet."
@@jmccracken1963 It is tough to beat a Barrymore but Lansbury was better. Ethel Barrymore was a great stage actress and very beautiful (can you imagine if she had accepted Winston Churchill's proposal?) , but I have seen a number of her film appearances and none of them really impress me as much as her stage fame might warrant. But Lansbury won 5 Tonys. Not too shabby and helps make up for no Oscars. For many years she had no control over her pictures during the studio system years and was not in any roles that could have won her an Oscar after the mid-40s until Manchurian Candidate.
Arlene's elaborate mask was the one she wore to Truman Capote's Black and White Ball. She had it tailored to be used for her "Mystery Guest" mask.
RIP Angela
The frog catcher is a service, not a product.
Well Mr. Sampson Baker looked like he really enjoyed his work. He was very knowledgeable about it. Also I liked the high hat of the contestant from England. I recall in one episode a contestant manufactured high hats. Thanks for the video. I learn some very interesting things here.
Love when Arlene bleats out Maamal. An obvious allusion to Al Jolson and his famous tune, Mammy and the manner in which he sung it.
Angela Lansbury was born in London and came from a very left wing family. Her father was a member of the Communist party and former mayor of an east London borough, and her paternal grandfather was once the leader of the British Labour Party.
and your point?
@@evans54 No axe to grind, was just passing on a bit about her background people may not realise which maybe of interest, that's all, no more.
This makes two weeks in a row that the female guest panelist has been a very attractive and delightful addition to the panel. 11/27 - Phyllis Newman and 12/4 - Pia Lindstrom.
Greg .Patrei - I agree but I do miss Dorothy.
Greg .Patrei Phyllis has been on many many episodes prior to this one though.
@@davidsanderson5918 I'm aware of that and she's always delightful.
The frog guy looks and sounds amazingly like the late great actor Pete Postlewaite. Hope I spelled his name right.
Refreshingly, you did spell his name correctly and the facial resemblance is remarkable!
The mystery guest was so easy.

@@randysills4418 : The song was, "Good-bye, Little Yellow Bird." And she did sing it so beautifully.

an honorary Oscar, but no competitive Oscar
Second contestant. "Gigging." There a jargon term I haven't heard in a while, but where I lived it was used on things other than semi aquatic amphibians.
The only time I ever heard the phrase "frog-gigging" was in a first-season episode of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW titled "The Inspector" - and the phrase has stuck in my mind ever since. (For the record: I've seen the episode numerous times in reruns - not in its original airing.)
Texas AGGIES: Gig'em Aggies!! WHOOP!!!
Tere Ferrell - Oh that's where that comes from as the Aggies' motto.
I just love Mrs. Landsbury!!
