Eva Gabor was an absolute beauty!
As others have stated here, Eva and Eddie’s chemistry was amazing! They’re just electric. And you can see it’s genuine and not an act.
Sometimes very good actors make an act look genuine. You never know.
Yup, anytime you saw them in interviews together, no matter what year, you could tell they enjoyed/appreciated one another.
L0llll0l0l0l0l0l0l
Eddie and Eva always referred to each other as best friends; he was said to have been crushed when she passed away. Eddie adored his wife and kids, but it's plain to see that he and Eva had feelings for each other that were never acted upon.
Eva Gabor was so beautiful!!
Eva Gabor was stunning. She was the "down to earth" Gabor sister. Eddie Albert was a fine man. A true war hero.
So true!
She was down to earth and Eddie Albert was a class act. What a funny show.
Memory Eternal!
Eddie Albert was awarded the Bronze Star in WW II for his actions at Tarawa.
l didn't know this. Reading about the battle, he was lucky to make it out of there alive.
Many actors in the 50's/60's were Veterans, having gone to serve and come home when TV and movies were enamoured with war.
@Aritosthenes A definite must watch.
He deserved a purple heart for all the slapstick abuse he endured from Gregory Peck in the movie Roman Holiday.
I love it how Eddie Albert answered "no" when they asked if his show was about unsophisticated people.
He was one of the staunchest defenders of Green Acres when people called it stupid or silly.
Eddie Albert was a real live American Hero at Tarawa in the South Pacific. A lot of Marines owe him their lives and The Corp will never forget him.
What about Arnold the pig?
Central Pacific.
Eddie Albert and his wife were blacklisted during the Cold War. His wife's career never recovered. Eddie's career was harmed but he was able eventually did work again, largely because of his service on Tarawa.
For a wonderful comic performance, where Eddie Albert was nominated for an Oscar, check out "The Heartbreak Kid,"
socks iindeed, excellent movie!
Semper Fi!
Such lovely, classy people! I wish Eddie and Eva had been given time for a real interview.
Boy that Eva has the sweetest smile, and just plain gorgeous.
Eddie and Eva were enchanting in a comedy so ridiculous it must be called "absurd."
The engaging theme song gave them liscence to engage us in sheer mayhem, unabashed folly.
The two of them played it real and the televisions lit up to enjoy sheer, brilliantly performed entertainment.
They made it look easy. It was artistry.
Eva really was beautiful ... and how classy of both of them to try to attribute some of the success of their show to John
Perfect cast perfect show. Today's TV could learn something from Green Acres compared to the garbage we see today
Eva and Eddy have such great chemistry.
It would of been really nice if they were married in real life.
goldenthroat86 They definately did, it was so lovely how they acted together on here. I think that's why they worked so well as a TV couple.
They get along so well that if one wouldn't be thought ill to believe them married.
@@MichaelSHartman Eva referred to Eddie as "her very best friend" and he was said to be devestated when she passed away.
I met Mr. Albert @ the PA farm show in 1985. He was such a nice man!!😍🥰
That was wonderful!
This show was on when I was in grade school. She looked like just another adult to me then, but now I am surprised at how young she looks! That show was very funny. I can still sing the theme song. Quiet amusing.
Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor had such chemistry together.
They were best friends in real life.
Arnold Ziffel should have been a mystery guest as well.
+Amos Burke
I was thinking that as well, but he would have had difficulty disguising his voice. It would have been a dead giveaway.
@@loissimmons6558 He could have spoken in his barking dog voice. LOL
He could have spoke in pig Latin.
@@loissimmons6558 LOOL
Love the show had a pig in it. They R smart, like all animals with repetition & patience they learn a lot. That's how we learn.
You'll Never Ever See Times like this Ever Again Ever Period!!!!!
If they only knew that people would continue watching/ loving Green Acres decades later
and people would be watching what's my line decades later even if gsn cheats us out of it
🇺🇸 America 💙
I still do!
What a doll Eva was. So much warmer than her more famous sister, Zsa Zsa. You would never have caught Zsa Zsa doing a series like "Green Acres".
Eva was a far nicer person than her sister Zsa Zsa!
@@johnscanlan9335 to see
Zsa Zsa used to say, "I'm a good housekeeper darlink....When I get a divorce, I keep the house"...
Eva Gabor was the idol of my youth. This was the period when she was at her most glamorous. I even collect pictures of her from that time period.
Did you guys know that during the first season of Green Acres, Eva Gabor's husband at the time, Richard Brown, stayed in New York with his stockbroker business while she did the show in Hollywood? But he flew out there on the weekends. Then he gave up his stockbroker business, and took a job as vice president of Filmways; the company that produced Green Acres; and they bought a home in Beverly Hills. They were definitely my favorite 60's couple. Even to this day, I look at their picture and jam to music at the same time.
Just seeing Eva and Eddie made me smile for five minutes.
When when movie stars were really true moviestars,classy and sophisticated.
DAVID KUBLIN lol then again there was Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe
She is gorgeous and the chemistry between them is unbelievable cannot deniable it great couple
They were best friends in real life.
Gorgeous creature that Eva. Eva was my favorite of the Gabors. She did a number of amusing mystery guest spots in the 1950s. . . . . Eddie was pretty good, too.
Still love seeing this couple together on Green Acres in 2020....so wonderfully funny...the insanity Oliver he puts up with beginning with his adorable wife Lisa and then with rest of the clan.
Gabor is so lovely. Nice that one of those sisters actually had talent, lol.
SueSnellLives! I always thought that as well. She actually worked for her money.
Eva also was the one who lived the most realistic lifestyle of the three sisters. At this time, her husband, Dick and she were living a in Two-Bedroom, One-Bathroom house with his two daughters. When reporters would ask Eva how come she did not live in a fancy house, she would say "All I need is Dick, Mary and Joanne."
SueSnellLives! I resent that remark
"All I need is Dick and MaryJane?" (⊖‿⊙)
She was my favorite Gabor and yet died first and relatively young
Eva Gabor is sheer class and a beautiful woman!
and she waved to the audience which is always appreciated
Green Acres is the most hysterical show in tv history--and its not just a country corn show--its satire of the highest order thanks to its stars.
+windstorm1000 Yes it is.
Couldn't have said it better myself. A lot of other sitcoms then just got corny/sappy as they went, Green Acres just went farther into satire, (and farther FROM reality in a good way)...... I watched a LOT of mid-60's TV, but Green Acres is still my fave.
Also one of the most insanely catchy theme songs.
Lots of it just didn't make sense though. Yes it was an old house but with their money they could have at least made some improvements: indoor phone, patch hole in BR closet... And did she really think her wardrobe was right for a farm?
@@franklesser5655 Money???? The phone company ran out of wire,! Seriously all of the you stated are what made the show. Certainly it was silly, the reverse of Beverly Hillbillies (Money coming to the farm). Her wardrobe, really? What about a pig who was a son and loved watching westerns on TV? The whole concept was ridiculous, which is why it worked.
Wow! So in love with Ms Eva and Mr Eddie ! They are both wonderful!😊😊 Just listen time the great applauses!! Love it !😊😊
Arlene francis is sooo classy... and I love her heart necklace !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did she marry a dwarf like Gabel?
guuba gaaba: Heartbreakingly after Martin died she was mugged getting out of a cab in front of where she lived. Martin had given her that when they first married and she wore it almost constantly. I thought it a rotten thing since it appears that was planned. And Martin was not only a fine actor but a savvy investor and producer and was rather handsome when younger. She was obviously devoted to and loved him. There was never a hint of disloyalty that I ever heard of... and I am in my 70s
KEN RETHERFORD: See my answer to the same question that you replied to.
@@kenretherford1197 charm? Personality? Kindness? Intelligence? Love? I guess she saw beyond looks, unlike shallow idiots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
@8 thank you for the input. Certainly, everyone will give your remark the full attention it deserves.
Eddie Albert is of the elite group of left-handed celebrities who were Mystery Guests.
*****
It is not on RUclips, as far as I know.
Judy Garland was left-handed.
The One " What's My Line " that I remember from my childhood was the one where " The Lone Ranger " was on. He kept changing his voice and no one could figure out who it was .
A surprising fact about Eddie Albert is that he invented the "Dipping Bird" or "Goofy Drinking Bird", a toy that was popular when I was a boy and is still seen today.
Haha - that's an urban legend, actually patented (Chinese invention) in 1947 by Miles Sullivan.
Yes !!! We HAD one
That's the greatest invention in the world! He'd make a million dollars!
IN MY VIEW
Eva Gabor is such a glamorous and beautiful woman. Eddie Albert playing her sophisticated husband was perfect. Both are loved by many.
Eva was my favorite Gabor. Very down to earth. Appreciate Eddie's military service and love him as an actor. Love Green Acres
I just watch one of these with her sister Zsa Zsa and I found Eva was more beautiful and down to earth.
I didn't realize Arlene's husband appeared as a panelist. She was actually almost 5 years older than him. In this video she's 58 years old. Kind of amazing how smooth her skin was even as she neared 60 years old. Lovely woman.
She was a total woman. I never realized she was older than he was. There was something that couple that struck me as off kilter and i cannot put my finger on it.
He was the most frequent guest panelist on the show with over 100 appearances.
Bennett's question to Eddie and Eva "Does this series appear on television more than once a week" is reference to the smash hit Batman TV show which was shown on two nights , Wednesdays and Thursdays--same bat time, same bat channel!
Eddie was an amazingly versatile actor
Eddie Albert was a well known environmentalalist. Earth Day was created to fall on.April 22, Albert's birthday to honor him.
I’ve been watching these for weeks and kept wondering if everyone walked like a field hand back then but Eva, just flowed across that stage like royalty.
*Green Acres is the place to be. Farm living is the life for me. Land spreading out so far and wide. Keep Manhattan just give me that countryside! New York is where I'd rather stay. I get allergic smelling hay. I just adore a penthouse view. Darling I love you, but give me Park Avenue. The chores! The stores! Fresh air! Times Square! You are my wife! Goodbye, city life. Green Acres we are there!*
I think it's "Times Square" isn't it?
@@versacegang4140 yes!
@@versacegang4140 yes, it is "Times Square".
Thank you darling...in Eva's accent
Thank you for the words to the song. Nice memories.
Daly was cast as the narrator on the green acres pilot
Thank you . I was wondering what they were talking about.
I got to see them together on Broadway in You Can't Take It with You. She looked radiant as always.
Oh wauw!! so jealous ;-) that must have been fantastic
Eva Gabor grew more beautiful as she aged. Such a sweet lady.
I am happy to know that I was alive during this elegant time, albeit a toddler.
Eva Gabor as Lisa Douglas was the greatest sitcom character of all time and I will die on that hill!
Ava and Eddie were so well matched and both gave outstanding comedic performances on "Green Acres". The show may have been about simple country folks, but the writing was beyond sophisticated.
Eva, not Ava
Two icons class and brilliance all the way around, PERIOD!!!!!
I'd watch TV like this.
I loved Green Acres and What’s My Line. Wonderful.
I love Eva Gabor.
Green Acres was hilarious, I watched it when new. I always thought Eva Gabor and Eddie Albert had good chemistry as a duo.He was good in his old movies, too.
They were best friends in real life, and if not for the fact that both were married while Green Acres was on the air, one could definitely picture them as a couple.
Eva Gabor was truly beautiful and funny. Eddie Albert was a great actor and a war hero. They were magic together on Green Acres. Just the way they looked at each other was enough to keep you watching.
Green Acres is rarely seen as a romance, but their scenes together were sometimes rather sizzling. Eddie and Eva were best friends in real life, and one must wonder if, had they both been single, their relationship would have evolved into something more.
Eva was So Beautiful, she is Class, Style and Grace!
Green Acres was one of my favorite comedies. It had so many twists - a businessman trying to be a farmer, a wife who was a foreigner, a stereotypical hillbilly community, and everyone having trouble understanding each other.
Did Eddie play a businessman or an attorney? Back in the 1960s there was a difference.
@@stevekru6518 he was an attorney
Perhaps the greatest irony is that originally Oliver was obsessed with moving to the farm and Lisa was resistant to leave big city life, but then Lisa was the one who fit in with the citizens of Hooterville, while Oliver was the one who stuck out like a sore thumb.
When TV had good writing and without an agenda.
Eddie Albert’s “mm hmm” responses were unmistakeable. I think I would’ve guessed him right away.
Unfortunately, I didn't see this show that night. I didn't become a Green Acres, until I saw the Molly Turgiss episode on Wednesday, April 6. Oh by the way. this episode originally aired the night that Cindy Crawford was born; and the day after Justine Bateman was born. (Rachel Dratch of Saturday Night Live fame and Cary Grant's daughter Jennifer were also born that same week as well.)
I sat with Eva in the 80's at the mall, about an hour. Such a sweet beautiful lady.❤
I saw Eva Gabor right when "Green Acres" was starting but was already so popular. I was astounded by her beauty! ❤
They were adorable together on Green Acres. I C Eddie Albert was a lefty. Luv seeing both style of fashion & hair.
What Eddie Albert is referring to after the game round is that Daly was the narrator of the first episode of "Green Acres." This episode appeared about four months after Green Acres' debut. The series ran on CBS for 6 seasons.
Just another bit of trivia - we've established, by 23:30, that there are 2 guests and they're TV stars. So when Bennett Cerf asks, at 23:30, if the show appears more than once a week, he's making a stab at the possibility that the guests are Batman and Robin. "Batman" debuted a month earlier and was already a big hit.
“This is John Daly, reporting from New York…” *Looks at the still photo of the Green Acres house* “Thank goodness.” 😂
Loved Green Acres when I was a kid. Spin-off from Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction. Eva Gabor was so cute. I can understand how George Sanders was involved with 2 of the Gabor sisters.
but not with Eva 🙂
strange to watch these without Dorothy.
I miss. Her terribly
@@stumack9755 yes, 1965.... They found her dead in her home ... Very strange death - they say it was mixture of alcohol/ pills
@@candicegerman2748 It's been suspected that she was murdered because she knew too much about JFK.
@@stumack9755 Dorothy had only been dead for 3 months when this show aired.
@@jesusisoursavior6234 That is what I recently discovered. She was preparing to write a book and told the wrong person. Just before her death, told her best friend that she bought a gun because she was scared.
In my opinion a stool is a type of chair of some kind.
Take that back.
A stool and a chair are both seats, but are different in that a stool has no back. If Bennett had used the term "seat", he would have gotten a yes.
in my opinion a stool is something you give a doctor a sample of when your unwell
@@sandwichman100 … and, much like you, cannot spell.
I grew up watching Green Acres, I miss TV like that.
I was born in 1962- so Its amazing to look back at the famous people, the hairstyles, etc,
Wow...
Green Acres...Funny and Good Clean Comedy...Great Actors and Writers...and Great Direction...
Back when television was REALLY good.
I loved Green Acres. Wish one of the channels I have, had reruns.
I saw an episode of Tales Of Wells Fargo with Eddie Albert as the guest star. If I was built like that, I wouldn't be so damned lonesome!!
My Dad looked a lot like Eddie Albert. Many people told him this throughout the years. So this made me proud and sad, Dad died 13 years ago.
Green Acres was one of my favorite shows.
Dorothy Kilgallen had only been gone 3 months when this show aired. :-( :-(
I spent much of my youth thinking, "If I was Oliver Wendell Douglas, married to Lisa Douglas, I'd be doing a lot of plowing, but very little farming."
... and zero stand-up comedy ?
I loved Eva in Green Acres, but my favorite performance was as Miss Bianca in The Rescuers. IMO the most talented of the Gabor sisters by a country mile.
Eva and Eddie! So much fun! 😂
i was wondering how eva and eddie would get around their very distinctive voices, great show, still funny after all these years, and even mr. haney's grand nephew is running for president, ted cruz.
If that is true, then... wow?
Pat Buttrum is Ted Cruz's great uncle??
Eddie and Eva were adorable in this and I really like them more here than in the show. This my friends was the absolute Height of Sophistication in America. Look at those Women with their Hairdos and Gowns and the Men in their Tuxedos and Suits. America would never be the same after drugs and rock and Vietnam.
They say Arnold Ziffel got more fan mail than anyone else on the show.
+Gary Mazzeo
That's because he "hogged" everyone else's. :-)
That’s true and his life sadly changed when he responded to one from the Rath Bacon company.
There was a rumor that there was a pig roast after the last show was filmed. Never happened according to the show personnel
That I can believe!
"Suzy" was just a pen name for the second panelist - real name was Aileen Mehle (last name taken from her first husband). She lived to be 98.
Wonderful, thank you.
I got to see the both of them on stage in You Can't Take It With You on Broadway.
What a cutie Eva was....you can tell they adored each other
She often referred to Eddie Albert as her "very best friend", and he was said to be devastated when she died.
Смотрю через 54 года и.. это потрясающе!!! :-)
Cecile Regina Friedman was born in 1916 in Fort Worth,TX. She married David Ritzwoller in 1938 and had at least 2 children. She died in 2008 in Fort Worth.
Cecile Ritzwoller is still alive in Fort Worth and is 100 years old.
She may have passed on by now.
@@alanh.3494 She passed away in 2008 at the age of 92. She was laid to rest at Hebrew Rest Cemetery in Fort Worth.
Kinda hot too. Cat-eye glasses and all.
I call BS on a bar stool not being a chair
GREEN ACRES was a unique country comedy during the time of mayberry, real mccoys, petiticoat junction, beverly hillbillies and gomer pile all from desi-lu. all hit shows on cbs
John Daly was a guest on the "Green Acres" pilot episode.
It seems both the guests and the panelists often have trouble hearing each other but the audience can hear them very clearly, the sound recording technology must have lot of rooms for improvement back then.
Love Eva's hair! ❤🌹
Eva should of won Emmy's for every season of Green Acres.
Bennet was a wit WML was very lucky to have him. I watch these episodes just to see him
I once had a job selling bar stools to the Betty Ford Clinic
Carl Pen Sorry to hear about the bankruptcy.
Just not the same without Dorothy
Love Eddie Albert's accent. He sounds so Irish. ❤
Eva was always the most beautiful and dignified of the sisters. Funny, I never realized that until much later in life.
Martin Gabel: "never heard of him"... Eva Gabor: "never realized that"... petey, we've gotta get you out more often !
Hootersville!
There actually is a Pixley in central California. A nearby town is Porterville, which the name Hooterville is probably derived from. I can just imagine the hue and cry if a new show used a name like Hooterville in connection with a show that featured three comely young women.
