    Interesting to watch the Fondas defer to each other. Henry prevailed, getting Peter into the hotter seat next to John that would likely get more camera time. Well, that, or introvert that he was, he just preferred to stay out of the spotlight.
    If Henry isn't relaxed here, this is further proof of his skill as an actor. He and Peter seem very much at ease and comfortable around each other. Given all the stories about how cold and distant Henry was with his children, this vignette must be an anomaly.

    David Merrick was the most successful Broadway producer in that period, notably “Hello Dolly!” which opened two years before and was still running with Ginger Rogers as Dolly. Gil Fates wrote in his book of David Merrick’s 12 June 1966 appearance that Merrick was not an actor so he arrived early and was in time to watch from the control booth part of the videotaping of the 28 August 1966 show that featured Pearl Bailey as mystery guest. After his appearance, he and Pearl went somewhere for supper and started discussing his idea for a retooled “Hello Dolly!” set in Harlem. That eventually happened about two years later.

    Hughes only appeared in the first act of Hogan's Goat, which began at 7:00pm and ended at 8:00pm; this allowed him to arrive in time for the Generation's 8:30pm curtain at the Morosco Theatre.

    The White Stallion dude ranch in New York State is long gone. There is one with the same name in Arizona, apparently no connection to Mrs. Kastner's ranch.
    A bit of trivia: her husband George appeared as a decoy contestant on "To Tell The Truth" on June 5, 1961.
    As for the career of Mrs. Maria Kastner, in 1949 she was the subject of a photo essay by a photographer for Look Magazine from The Bronx who was only four years out of high school. He would go on to much fame in Hollywood. His name was Stanley Kubrick.
    She was a showgirl at the time and her name in the documentary (and perhaps her stage name) was Rosemary Williams. She was born in July 1927 (nee Williamson), may have married a French citizen and moved to that country for a time, returned in 1958 and by 1966 had married George. Her mother's name was Marie and at various times she was known as Rosemary, Rose Marie and Maria.
    She died in Santa Barbara (CA) in 2002.
    A link to an article about Stanley Kubrick that includes a great deal of information about Maria Kastner, including surprise that her career wasn't more successful. There are many photographs of her at the tender age of 21-22.
    idyllopuspress.com/idyllopus/film/killers_kiss_showgirl.htm
    Kubrick's Look Magazine photographs had been on exhibition from May 2018 to January 2019. There is a companion book for sale as well as the possibility to bring them to other public libraries and venues elsewhere. A link to the Museum of the City of New York that has these photographs and had the exhibition that closed earlier this year.

    Out with Allen and Betty, and in with the long-winded (but in a funny way) Carol Channing, and Mark Goodson.
    Also, Carol Channing, Pearl Bailey, David Merrick, and Ginger Rogers, all have one thing in common: They were all tied to the musical, "Hello, Dolly!'.

    John makes a rare geographical mistake when he suggests at 14:18 that French wines would have to travel sixteen thousand miles to Australia. The earth is about 25,000 miles in circumference, so by air no place is more than 12,500 miles away. Even by ship, it's about 13,750 miles from Plymouth in the UK to Sydney; French ports would be closer.

      Carol I like too -- but her intros do go over the board. And . . . it occurs to me -- When Goodson first appeared as a panelist on WML, Daly's timing went way off. Daly had to close the broadcast by himself. Here, the second time Goodson is on the panel, Daly's timing gets thrown off again. Again he has to close the broadcast on his own. Goodson might have gotten the wrong impression from all this that Daly was intimidated by Goodson. Daly was close to Todman.

      Magnesia is just the "mineral" name for magnesium hydroxide, so that word is usable by anyone. "Milk of" is a brilliant way to name the product: not merely a white liquid suspension of particles of magnesia, but evoking the healthful, calming qualities of dairy milk. If that phrase was once a trademark, it has expired in the US, as multiple brands of milk of magnesia are now sold as an antacid and laxative. Phillips' is still the most widely advertised, and their brand name appears with the ® symbol.

      @@neilmidkiff please correct me if this is wrong, but in the US Trademarks do not expire as long as the trademark is being actively used. For statutory trademark protection a section 8 filing is required after the first five years and every ten years thereafter. A common law trademark is more difficult to enforce but continues as long as the name is used, provided it does not become generic, like saying Kleenexor Formica for every tissue or laminated surface.

    Merrick was known for his love of publicity stunts. one famous stunt promoted the poorly-reviewed 1961 musical Subways Are For Sleeping. Merrick found seven New Yorkers who had the same names as the city's seven leading theater critics: Howard Taubman, Walter Kerr, John Chapman, John McClain, Richard Watts, Jr., Norman Nadel, and Robert Coleman. Merrick invited the seven namesakes to the musical and secured their permission to use their names and pictures in an advertisement alongside quotes such as "One of the few great musical comedies of the last thirty years" and "A fabulous musical. I love it." Merrick then prepared a newspaper ad featuring the namesakes' rave reviews under the heading 7 Out of 7 Are Ecstatically Unanimous About Subways Are For Sleeping. Only one newspaper, the New York Herald Tribune, published the ad, and only in one edition; however, the publicity that the ad garnered helped the musical remain open for 205 performances (almost six months).

    • @preppysocks209
      @preppysocks209 4 года назад +1

      Yes, a great and true story. Note the year it happened -- 1961. Amidst the furor surrounding that ad, Merrick was quoted as saying, "I would have done this years ago, but I could never find anyone named Brooks Atkinson." Atkinson was the theatre critic of the New York Times for many years (one of the Broadway theaters was named for him), and he retired shortly before Merrick was able to finally do this. Merrick's obituary in the New York Times was one of the most remarkable I have ever read. Despite his good humor here, he was an extremely unhappy man, so much so that his remarkable success in show business never could overcome his deep depression.
