  • Groucho makes mincemeat out of aspiring singer Bill Rutter, but the real highlight of this show is couple #3, two couples actually: the identical Loveless twins, and the pair of identical twins they married. Groucho gets big laughs by purposely confusing their names throughout the interview.
    COUPLE #1: Bill Rutter, a Phil Silvers lookalike who wants to bankroll his own singing career / Zale Parry
    COUPLE #2: Pat Cunningham / crane operator
    COUPLE #3: The Loveless twins, two pairs of identical twins married to each other: Herman and Harmon & Leela and Lola

    Zale Parry (still kicking as of August 2020) has had quite the life as a diver, underwater photographer, actress, stunt dive double and writer. Look her up, her life is pretty well documented. It's one of the few times that a contestant's appearance on YBYL often goes unmentioned simply because of the scale of everything else she did.

      Yeah, usually he does just that . . Not a good sign for Rutter, but it may have been lack of time in this case.

    After appearing on "You Bet Your Life" my great uncles were given some West Bend fishing gear which they gave to my brother Bob and I.
    This is the first time I've seen the show. After the "twins" careers in Vaudeville, my uncles became veterinarians At the time of the program they were living in Modesto and later retired in Colorado Springs. They never had children because they "didn't want to break up the set" and they all live together until their deaths.
    They had two brothers. My grandfather Harry (the oldest) was a chiropractor in Midland, Texas and the youngest, William (Bill) was also a chiropractor in the Silver Lake/Hollywood area of Los Angeles. Uncle Bill loved to tell us stories about the actors and actresses he treated.
    P.S. I have a cousin, Martha, that will have identical twin boys this May 2015 :-)

    3 years later, Zale Parry appeared in at least 8 episodes of "Sea Hunt". She also did stunts for "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", as well as for "Sea Hunt". Her husband, Parry Bivens, was technical advisor for "Sea Hunt". He died in 1963, but I believe Zale is still alive. They were both known to experiment with the then-unknown drug LSD.

      Thanks again for all the great info on the guests, Jimmie. I don't know how you dig this stuff up. Your googling skills impress me. The only comment you've made yet where I'd already been aware of the info was on the Olympic swimmer Sammy Lee, but only because I had to look him up when I was writing up the show description!

      The very conservative Fifties.
      Round about high school, everything becomes preppy. Guys dress like their fathers (suits, ties, sweaters, brill cream) and girls their mothers.
      Notice how every contestant is asked if they're married and most are asked if they have children? That's what was expected, a spouse, a job, a home, children, a car, in a neighbourhood with trees and parks and good schools and friendly neighbours who looked like you. All those modern stereotypes about women homemakers and men breadwinners come from this time period. It's why there's nervous, self-conscious laughter from the audience at unusual occupations. A great many people wanted suburban normalcy after the war, easily defined gender roles and "traditional" values.
      And that's what their children and the disenchanted outcasts would rebel against less than a generation later when the late Sixties rolled in. And this is just before Rock And Roll took root. It was in its infancy at the end of 1954.

      When I worked in television in the 80’s and 90’s, audiences had to be over 18, whether for game shows, talk shows or sitcoms. Kids easily get bored and antsy and could become disruptive. It usually takes at least an hour or more to tape each episode. Boring for kids.
