Lee Remick was a great talent. I also got the impression that she was a down to earth person and not so full of herself as some in Hollywood can be. Jane Fonda looked great at 25 years old. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for posting this. Lee Remick, to me, is one of the most beautiful, most talented actresses to ever grace the stage or screen in the U.S. I had a crush on her from the first time that I saw her, and I still have it, even though she has been dead for a very long time. In 1966 when she starred in the Broadway production of 'Wait Until Dark', I waited to get her autograph after a performance, and the only other person waiting was her mother. They invited me to go and have dinner with them at Sardi's (I was a NASA engineer, which was a big deal to many people at the time), but I felt that I didn't belong, so I thanked them but chose not to accompany them. That is one of the few regrets that I have had in my 80 years of life. I hope that this beautiful, talented lady will never be forgotten by the future generations.
I also saw her in "Wait until Dark" on broadway. She was terrific. Jane Fonda was a good, not great actress. It's too bad for her legacy that she later became a traitor to her country.
Bill Campbell You are quite handsome! I would go to dinner with you in a minute, Bill! :D She is my idea of a beautiful woman as well! I wanted to be just like her, as a little girl. My dad had the biggest thing for her too; gentleman of your and his era truly knew what beautiful and classy really is. thanks for sharing your sweet story.
I didn't realize that whats my line was the TV show to be on. it had character and class with brass. in an era of accomplishment and vigor. a true timeless classic.
The winner was Anne Bancroft, who appeared a bit earlier as MG. This was the year that Bette Davis was nominated for Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and her costar, Joan Crawford plotted against her receiving the Oscar. Joan lobbied hard against Bette among Academy members. She also went to all the other nominees, including Lee Remick, and asked if she could accept the award on their behalf if they won. I forget how many agreed but one who did was Anne Bancroft for The Miracle Worker. Davis wanted that Oscar so bad but she didn't win it, and not only that, she had to see a beaming Joan Crawford go up on stage to accept the Oscar for the actual winner. That is hatred for you.
Mindful of the film that Miss Remick was in, the Phillies around this time had a double play combination of Cookie Rojas (acquired from Cincinnati after the 1962 season) at second base and Bobby Wine at shortstop. They were nicknamed "The Plays of Wine and Rojas".
To have the incomparable Lee Remick and Jane Fonda on the same stage at the same time is worth its weight in gold. Interestingly, Remick was in NY for the opening of Days of Wine and Roses, co-starring with Jack Lemmon. The film, which hadn't opened yet, did not elicit any reviews at the time of this WML episode, but the film would go on to become one of the most beautiful, painful and harrowing examinations of alcoholism ever put on film. Both Remick and Lemmon received Oscar nominations in the leading actor/actress categories, as did the film itself for Best Picture.
The showing of Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" in NYC led to one of the first really big and successful promotions by WABC radio program director Rick Sklar. With just about every newspaper in the NYC metro area putting a large full-color picture in their Sunday paper (the strike was over by then), he decided to have a contest for listeners to possibly win a prize by submitting their versions of the famed painting. The contest offered prizes for the best, worst, largest and smallest copies of the Mona Lisa. The smallest was fairly easy to judge. Two were submitted on microdots and one was smaller than the other. The largest required more ingenuity. There were so many that were very large that they had to bring them to the Polo Grounds which was in its last year as a professional sports stadium (Mets and Titans). It was a windy day and they had run out of scoreboard numerals to hold the artwork in place. Bohack's supermarkets were a sponsor on the station and they were able to divert a delivery truck carrying large sacks of flour to save the day. The best and worst efforts created a different kind of problem. The lawyers in charge of WABC's standards and practices demanded to know who would judge the best and worst. They were concerned with guarding what was becoming a valuable license and they wanted no questions regarding the legitimacy of the contest. Sklar came up with Salvatore Dali as the judge. Sklar arranged for the artwork to be displayed at a Manhattan department store. But they ran out of room. So Sklar prejudged some of the work that he felt didn't have a chance to win and stacked them in a back room. Dali insisted on seeing everything. (After all, he had to judge which one was the worst as well as the best.) Dali was quickly able to find one that he declared was the most tragic effort among Sklar's rejects. But Dali fooled Sklar. He also selected one of Sklar's rejects to be the best one. When Sklar asked why, Dali told him that it was going to be next year's newest big thing in the art world. Dali picked a drawing by a military officer that was in cartoon style, showing Mona Lisa peering out the window of a space capsule on top of a rocket with the moon in the background. It was Pop Art.
Lois, your in-depth replies are simply the best! I was (still am) a huge fan of Salvatore Dali - his surreal art just sang to my soul. I can recall (years back) my local PBS station doing a special on this great artist's works - it was entitled "Hello Dali" ;-)
John Daly is so good, we just expect him to have the story on whatever question or topic is under discussion. It occurs to me that the amount of preparation he does is impressive; he's seldom caught on the back foot.
It was nice to see Robert Q. Lewis again. I know that What's My Line? is not too fond of him, but I've always liked him as a panelist. He looks a bit worse for wear here -- even thinner than before, and it looks as if something happened to part of his face, but I was happy to find out through research that he lived for many years after this (until 1991). According to IMDb, his credits include quite a few TV shows and films that I'm sure I have seen, yet I had never heard of him until I started watching these WML episodes. It will be interesting to see some of those shows and films again now that I know who he was.
SaveThe TPC I tend to think Robert Q. Lewis's name hasn't been brought up so many times in such a short span since the invention of the internet. It must be confusing the daylights out of Google. Trending now: Robert Q. Lewis?
About a year ago I watched an episode of password featuring Lee Remick AND her mother, I've been trying in vain to find it again, I highly recommend it to all of you Lee Remick fans
Small world department: Lee Remick later played Margaret Sullivan in a tv film based on a book by her daughter Brooke Hayward. As teenagers, Brooke and Jane Fonda were best friends and Margaret was Henry Fonda’s first wife.
I was a little surprised that neither Bennett Cerf or Robert Q. Lewis mentioned that the first challenger couldn't be doing a very good job guarding the "Mona Lisa" if he was in New York and the painting was in DC. But RQL's quick retort to John Daly's mention of it being painted on poplar wood was very good.
Speaking of pop'lar, I was surprised to learn several years ago that until the later 19th century, it was just one of many well-known paintings in the world, not *the* most famous work of the European Old Masters. Walter Pater in an 1869 essay famously praised it -- even Jeeves quotes Pater to Bertie Wooster -- but it was not until a museum employee stole it from the Louvre in 1911 that it became front-page news and an icon of popular culture.
Stan daMann I agree that she was absolutely gorgeous. And she was an excellent actress, as well. "Days of Wine and Roses" is, in my opinion, one of the best movies to come out of the 1960s.
+519DJW It is a very good film - and so is the original "Playhouse 90" showing of J.P. Miller's teleplay, in which the two principal roles were played by Cliff Robertson and Piper Laurie. (That "Playhouse 90" performance can be found in at least one DVD collection, "The Golden Age of Hollywood," in a set devoted to some of the best 1950s drama anthology teleplays, including the orignal "Marty," "No Time for Sergeants," "Requiem for a Heavyweight," and "Bang The Drum Slowly," as well.)
I just recalled(totally forgot about this until this program(1963) today 10/11/22 - 59 years after). I was 13 in 1963 and the Mona Lisa Exhibition also came to NYC where I lived but never got to see it!
"The Days Of Wine and Roses" was one of the best pictures ever made to this day. Lee Remick and Jack Lemmon were magnificent. Lee Remick was so beautiful. WML is such a great show..those days are gone forever. Everyone was so respectful, elegant and quite intelligent. I love watching.
My uncle and I drove down to DC to see the famous painting. Quite an experience for a young fellow. A kind guard also allowed me to touch the wrappings of a mummy.
Amazing how gorgeous Jane went from a light leading lady to sexy Barbarella to Oscar-winning dramatic actress of Klute and Coming Home. Her finest performance, in my estimation, was her haunting, cynical perf as Depression-era Gloria in They Shoot Horses, Don't They? Simply stunning.
i remember 'Horses' was aired a few decades ago by one of the BBCs and i recorded it because the title reminded me of the same title song , not expecting very much - and when i finally watched it , i noticed at several instances that i almost forgot to breathe , a sublime & devastating movie and some utterly haunting performances indeed !
Wow, Jane Fonda in her pre-controversy years. I'm looking forward to seeing any mention of the World's Fair this year, maybe even some contestants associated with it. I imagine it would be a rich source of guests with so many people coming from other countries to work there.
The one thing that always trips them up is that when someone comes from Washington , D.C. or other areas around in Maryland near the city they think their job is always at the White House.
The painting of the Phillips Collection that John mentioned was stolen was a Paul Klee watercolor. It was not restored to the Phillips Collection until 1997. The purported owner of the painting for all but one year after it was stolen (the one year being the fist year) bought it at an outdoor art auction. The painting was insured for much more than it was worth at the time it was stolen but much less than it was worth when it was recovered. No charges were brought. In the settlement, the owner gave the painting back to the Phillips for no monetary compensation. He tried to take a charitable tax deduction but I am unable to determine whether it was allowed. The best story on that concept was a Rauschenberg painting containing a bald eagle feather that was donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art several years ago.
Is there a reason why "Robert Q. Lewis [panel]" isn't included in the "big" title of this particular post? I think that he should be given equal credit as a guest panelist with Jane Fonda, as they were, indeed, both guest panelists. According to IMDB, "Period of Adjustment" opened on 31 October 1962 - the same day that "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" had its gala world/U.S. premiere opening in Cincinnati. The only "carry-over" from the Broadway cast to the movie was the director, George Roy Hill, who made his big-screen debut with "Period of Adjustment" (he had directed on Broadway and for several TV drama anthology shows prior to that). Hill would go on to direct 14 movies between 1962 and 1988; I have seen three of them ("Toys in the Attic," "The Sting," and "Slap Shot"). In addition to "Days of Wine and Roses," which had had its gala world premiere opening in Los Angeles on 26 December 1962 and which would open in New York on Thursday, 19 January 1963, Lee Remick would make two movies in 1963: "The Running Man" (made in England) for Columbia Pictures and "The Wheeler-Dealers" (made in the U.S.) for MGM.
Actually they were both released in 1963 but The running Man was shot in the summer of 1962, before this appearance and even before the release of Days of Wine and Roses. The Wheeler dealers started shooting in February 1962, a few weeks after this tv appearance, probably just after the oscar nominations were announced but before the oscar ceremony which at the time generally took place in April.
I, like many here I guess, sometimes have fun looking up the lives of the contestants.. saddened me to see that Lee Remick died just 55 of age from Kidney cancer...
I knew from the date in the thumbnail that this was around the time of the release of The Days of Wine and Roses, and when Lee Remick came out, sat down and became engaged with the game she appeared a bit gaunt and exhausted. I can't help but think that making that movie had to be emotionally draining for her. If you've ever seen it you know what I mean.
Totally agree. She had incredibly beautiful eyes and was spectacularly pretty in a girl next door sort of way. without needing to flaunt her amazing looks. I remember how sad I was upon hearing of her death in 1991. (She was a fine actor too!)
Noticed this only on my third time watching it: John may have been so amused by the poplar/popular pun that he makes an uncharacteristic slip of the tongue at 10:17 -- saying goodbye to the museum guard, Daly says "It was a joy to have you with you."
As of November 2021, Jane Fonda is still active at 83 years old, starring in the Netflix series "Grace and Frankie". The co-stars are Lily Tomlin, Sam Waterston and Martin Sheen.
It's a shame Steve Allen wasn't on this show for the salami seller; he had a thing on onr of his shows about tossing a salami into a taxi and ordering it to go to Grand Central Station.
as a hair designer, Dorothy was never given the proper hair style for her shaped face,she would have looked better with Janes wig on. I am not picking on Dorothy, I really liked and enjoyed her.It was her stylists fault.
I disagree. Dorothy looks thin but not sick. Her hair changed a few months later when Marc Sinclaire took over as her regular hairdresser. He replaced Kenneth Battelle who had been a What’s My Line? contestant in 1961. Kenneth did the minimalist styling of Dorothy’s hair that you see here on January 13, 1963.
This is the third what's my line I have watched tonight with Lee Remick. Each one I keep saying how gorgeous/hot she was. She is so easy on the eyes to look at! She was/ is gorgeous...
2:00 > :20 -- Jane Fonda in her early luscious period: all that talent and such great looks too. Wow. The director does a very rare two-shot of Bennett and the panelist next to him as he tells that [egad!] terrible pun involving the Fonda name. A year and a month into the future when Jane Fonda was WML mystery guest [10:45 p.m ET] the same night the Beatles first appeared on CBS-TV [8'oclock hour ET] on "The Ed Sullivan Show," Bennett told her that name terrible pun -- again. I would have left the stage in protest.
Yes, Bennett was goofy enough to tell that stupid joke on two separate occasions a year apart. FWIW I hate the expression “early luscious period.” People are not food. Many people use the colloquialism, of course.
Before watching WML Id never really heard of Robert Q Lewis. Evidently he was a pretty popular guy. On the web one can read back issues of a magazine called TV-Radio Mirror. Lots of information you can find on celebrities that appear on WML.
And, from the angle of her head when Robert Q. Lewis was asking his question of Mrs. Colleran, she was listening intently to the voice to figure out who the Mystery Guest was.
Joe Postove No, but her Father Henry and Brother Peter appeared together as mystery guests on the 6/12/66 episode. Yes, Arlene was there. Arlene was also on Jane's other two mystery guest appearances. (2/9/64 and 1/8/67).
Meteoric rise? She worked steadily over the years, but part of that work was in plays (a future Mystery Guest appearance on WML? would be during the initial Broadway run of Frederick Knott's "Wait Until Dark," in which she played Suzy) - and, when she remarried in 1970, to British producer Kip Gowans, she moved to England and made some movies and TV there over the last 21 years of her life (as well as some in the U.S.). She was also quite choosy - and rightfully so - about what she would appear in and with whom. (I like her in the 1983 TV showing of a stage performance of "I Do! I Do!", in which she co-stars with Hal Linden. They both sing and dance and act very well. I purchased a DVD copy of the telecast through Premiere Opera, Ltd. in New York some years ago.)
@@jmccracken1963 Her decision to move to England, reduced her options. She was also more interested in choosing material that interested her rather than commmercial projects that may have given her more immediate visibility. She was also adamant in not doing nudity, as for example in A severed head she is the only one of the 3 main female characters who does not undress. She was also occassionally unlucky in her choice of projects, as for example Mel Ferrer buying the rights of Wait Until Darl for Audrey Hepburn thereby negating her the possibility of repeating her stage role on screen and Robert Redford deciding to cast Mary Tyler Moore in ordinary people after he had practically signed Lee for the part. She also left Agnes of God when the play was still off broadway. If she had stayed with it she might have gotten the role in the film, which role ironically went to Fonda.
Nice memories. Ladies knew to remain seated...gentlemen knew to stand. And Jane Fonda was clueless and funny at this particular time....before she got all full of herself. Loved loved loved Lee Remick!
Ah..., Jane Fonda's starring with her father, Henry Fonda, in the first movie I ever watched on a VCR machine: "On Golden Pond"; and this was at a friend's house. I absolutely love this movie, which also includes a stellar performance by Katherine Hepburn. It is a wonderful study of characters. And somewhere I heard--or read--that this movie was the catalyst that brought Jane Fonda and her father back together, as apparently they had been estranged for number of years, for what reasons I do not know. Maybe somebody could provide a more in-depth analysis of that situation.
I saw it around that time also. Although I spent a lot of time in Paris during the 1990s, I went to the Louvre only once, either in 94 or 95. Great experience.
At 8:44, John Daly says that the Smithsonian Institution was the parent organization of the National Gallery of Art. But since the museum building was built in 1937 to the present day, the National Gallery of Art has been independent of the Smithsonian.
She has apologied sincerely for some of the things she said and did, off course. It was a crazy time and she wasn't against you guys so much as outraged by the insane machine that was chewing up so many of you.
Jane's protest of an unjustified US presence in another country's civil war pales in comparison to trump's evasion of the draft with a completely fraudulent deferment when 60,000 of his fellow Americans were killed or mamed. Republicans are so tribal in their beliefs that they fail to see how reagan and bush 41 created the taliban and al qaeda which led to 9/11 which led to bush 43's phony war in Iraq which created ISIS. All at a cost of lives and over 7 trillion in taxpayer dollars.
These same bozos directed hatred toward Fonda, yet no hatred at the politicians who lied and manipulated them into war, causing thousands of their relatives/friends to be killed and maimed - not to mention the Billions of tax dollars pocketed by the war profiteers. Hate Jane for calling attention to stopping the lies and waste, but praise the liars and profiteers, lol. Hell, no wonder they started the Vietnam scam in the first place - PT Barnum called it.
@@FakeItalianoII - clown, get a life. Vietnam was a scam war that the Govt lied about for decades, then abruptly quit when the lies unraveled. Its dimwits like yourself that allow lying politicians and defense contractors to bilk taxpayers out of billions of dollars and have thousands of Americans killed for no reason, all while folks like you offer nonstop lip service, but never service with a weapon in the overseas combat zone.
It's not that they were so slim "back then." That was simply the normal way the majority of people were. It's that so many people are so extremely obese now that fat is the normal way to be. The reasons are too obvious to go into---The change in life style from generally active to sedentary, and the average diet changed from cooking meals toward junk-food.
@@judylondon7126 It's also rather ironic that one of the good things, the opening of careers and jobs for women outside the home contributed initially to the junk food market and quickie meals. It didn't take long before a second income was a necessity in order to maintain the middle class standard of living for many people.
"Days of Wine and Roses" is a 1962 film, yet the date of this episode is listed as 1/13/63, and Lee says the film is just about to open. I have a feeling the date listed above is incorrect.
I think the laughs we hear about the line of the salami girl is how one's breath may smell when eating the food. However that was 1963. Today's unfortunate cruddy culture might elicit the same amount of laughter, but I think we would be thinking along the lines of a sexual connotation.

(That "Playhouse 90" performance can be found in at least one DVD collection, "The Golden Age of Hollywood," in a set devoted to some of the best 1950s drama anthology teleplays, including the orignal "Marty," "No Time for Sergeants," "Requiem for a Heavyweight," and "Bang The Drum Slowly," as well.)
She is but this is not one of her best appearances or looks. IT does not really look like Lee to me.

God Bless for showing these whole epis. they were worth the wait. their time has come.
I love the dresses of the 50s and 60s!
Lee Remick , what an actress
Someone has to set the standard, don’t you agree?
I just recalled(totally forgot about this until this program(1963) today 10/11/22 - 59 years after). I was 13 in 1963 and the Mona Lisa Exhibition also came to NYC where I lived but never got to see it!
"The Days Of Wine and Roses" was one of the best pictures ever made to this day. Lee Remick and Jack Lemmon were magnificent. Lee Remick was so beautiful. WML is such a great show..those days are gone forever. Everyone was so respectful, elegant and quite intelligent. I love watching.
My uncle and I drove down to DC to see the famous painting. Quite an experience for a young fellow. A kind guard also allowed me to touch the wrappings of a mummy.
Amazing how gorgeous Jane went from a light leading lady to sexy Barbarella to Oscar-winning dramatic actress of Klute and Coming Home. Her finest performance, in my estimation, was her haunting, cynical perf as Depression-era Gloria in They Shoot Horses, Don't They? Simply stunning.
i remember 'Horses' was aired a few decades ago by one of the BBCs and i recorded it because the title reminded me of the same title song , not expecting very much - and when i finally watched it , i noticed at several instances that i almost forgot to breathe , a sublime & devastating movie and some utterly haunting performances indeed !
Wow, Jane Fonda in her pre-controversy years.
I'm looking forward to seeing any mention of the World's Fair this year, maybe even some contestants associated with it. I imagine it would be a rich source of guests with so many people coming from other countries to work there.
The fair did generate a bunch of contestants, including the son of one of the panelists
The Seattle Fair was 1962 and the NYC world's Fair was 1964-1965 so probably not this year.
The one thing that always trips them up is that when someone comes from Washington , D.C. or other areas around in Maryland near the city they think their job is always at the White House.
The painting of the Phillips Collection that John mentioned was stolen was a Paul Klee watercolor. It was not restored to the Phillips Collection until 1997. The purported owner of the painting for all but one year after it was stolen (the one year being the fist year) bought it at an outdoor art auction. The painting was insured for much more than it was worth at the time it was stolen but much less than it was worth when it was recovered. No charges were brought. In the settlement, the owner gave the painting back to the Phillips for no monetary compensation. He tried to take a charitable tax deduction but I am unable to determine whether it was allowed. The best story on that concept was a Rauschenberg painting containing a bald eagle feather that was donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art several years ago.
Is there a reason why "Robert Q. Lewis [panel]" isn't included in the "big" title of this particular post? I think that he should be given equal credit as a guest panelist with Jane Fonda, as they were, indeed, both guest panelists.
According to IMDB, "Period of Adjustment" opened on 31 October 1962 - the same day that "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" had its gala world/U.S. premiere opening in Cincinnati. The only "carry-over" from the Broadway cast to the movie was the director, George Roy Hill, who made his big-screen debut with "Period of Adjustment" (he had directed on Broadway and for several TV drama anthology shows prior to that). Hill would go on to direct 14 movies between 1962 and 1988; I have seen three of them ("Toys in the Attic," "The Sting," and "Slap Shot").
In addition to "Days of Wine and Roses," which had had its gala world premiere opening in Los Angeles on 26 December 1962 and which would open in New York on Thursday, 19 January 1963, Lee Remick would make two movies in 1963: "The Running Man" (made in England) for Columbia Pictures and "The Wheeler-Dealers" (made in the U.S.) for MGM.
Actually they were both released in 1963 but The running Man was shot in the summer of 1962, before this appearance and even before the release of Days of Wine and Roses. The Wheeler dealers started shooting in February 1962, a few weeks after this tv appearance, probably just after the oscar nominations were announced but before the oscar ceremony which at the time generally took place in April.
I, like many here I guess, sometimes have fun looking up the lives of the contestants.. saddened me to see that Lee Remick died just 55 of age from Kidney cancer...
Loved the beautiful Lee Remick, gone much too soon, age 55.
Robert Q. Lewis beat Bennett Cerf to a wonderful pun!
How Miss Jane Fonda was able to guess the "mystery guest" as Lee Remick is so uncanny!! :) :)
I knew from the date in the thumbnail that this was around the time of the release of The Days of Wine and Roses, and when Lee Remick came out, sat down and became engaged with the game she appeared a bit gaunt and exhausted. I can't help but think that making that movie had to be emotionally draining for her. If you've ever seen it you know what I mean.
Lee Remick had great eyes.
Totally agree. She had incredibly beautiful eyes and was spectacularly pretty in a girl next door sort of way. without needing to flaunt her amazing looks. I remember how sad I was upon hearing of her death in 1991. (She was a fine actor too!)
Nice gams, too!
Robert Q. Lewis : "Is it in the baloney family?"
Robert Charles Daly : "I don't know anyone in the baloney family."
Robert Charles Daly? Who he?
I wonder how many time Jane Fonda and Lee Remick were up for the same parts.
Steve... I bet plenty...2 beauties, and fine actors....
Jane Fonda - was once a big fan of Lee Remick and up for a lot of the same roles. She knew that voice right off.
The way Fonda keeps leaning into frame and getting in front of Robert's face is so distracting.
Fonda was very annoying!
It is obvious that Jane loved to talk with her hands. Just look at her great movie Klute.
@@rogeroge50Was?
She did it to Bennett right at the start. Awkward, obnoxious, scripted or genuine? It was odd at best.
Noticed this only on my third time watching it: John may have been so amused by the poplar/popular pun that he makes an uncharacteristic slip of the tongue at 10:17 -- saying goodbye to the museum guard, Daly says "It was a joy to have you with you."
Loved days of wine and roses
I love Lee Remick....sooooo beautiful 😀
Jane Fonda actually mention being on Whats My Line when she was on Who Wants to be a Millionaire in 2020.
As of November 2021, Jane Fonda is still active at 83 years old, starring in the Netflix series "Grace and Frankie". The co-stars are Lily Tomlin, Sam Waterston and Martin Sheen.
As of 12/15/23, Jane Fonda is still acting in "Grace and Frankie" and is 86.
It's a shame Steve Allen wasn't on this show for the salami seller; he had a thing on onr of his shows about tossing a salami into a taxi and ordering it to go to Grand Central Station.
as a hair designer, Dorothy was never given the proper hair style for her shaped face,she would have looked better with Janes wig on. I am not picking on Dorothy, I really liked and enjoyed her.It was her stylists fault.
+Joey Gagliardi At this point nothing could have helped Dorothy...she looks nearly anorexic here and obviously sick.
I disagree. Dorothy looks thin but not sick.
Her hair changed a few months later when Marc Sinclaire took over as her regular hairdresser. He replaced Kenneth Battelle who had been a What’s My Line? contestant in 1961. Kenneth did the minimalist styling of Dorothy’s hair that you see here on January 13, 1963.
I recently watched the film "Telefon" starring Charles Bronson and Lee Remick.
the look that jane shoots at dorothy @12:20 is catty as hell... looks like temper flared after dorothy says "say something, jane" lol
This is the third what's my line I have watched tonight with Lee Remick. Each one I keep saying how gorgeous/hot she was. She is so easy on the eyes to look at! She was/ is gorgeous...
Jane is so pretty!
2:00 > :20 -- Jane Fonda in her early luscious period: all that talent and such great looks too. Wow. The director does a very rare two-shot of Bennett and the panelist next to him as he tells that [egad!] terrible pun involving the Fonda name. A year and a month into the future when Jane Fonda was WML mystery guest [10:45 p.m ET] the same night the Beatles first appeared on CBS-TV [8'oclock hour ET] on "The Ed Sullivan Show," Bennett told her that name terrible pun -- again. I would have left the stage in protest.
Yes, Bennett was goofy enough to tell that stupid joke on two separate occasions a year apart. FWIW I hate the expression “early luscious period.” People are not food. Many people use the colloquialism, of course.
@@kelloggs5473 People are not food, said the person who identifies as a breakfast cereal. ;)
Jane Fonda seemed to anticipate the punchline just before Bennett delivered it.
Before watching WML Id never really heard of Robert Q Lewis. Evidently he was a pretty popular guy.
On the web one can read back issues of a magazine called TV-Radio Mirror. Lots of information you can find on celebrities that appear on WML.
As soon as Jane Fonda got her first answer, you could tell she had a clue who it was.
And, from the angle of her head when Robert Q. Lewis was asking his question of Mrs. Colleran, she was listening intently to the voice to figure out who the Mystery Guest was.
Two of the most beautiful women who I ever saw.
Robert Q. Lewis hasn't changed through the years.
Arlene Francis missed two instances of seeing Jane Fonda in person on this show.
The other time was on the 4/3/60 show; Polly Bergen took her place.
Wasn't Jane on with her Dad, I think, later in the series? Was Arlene there?
Joe Postove No, but her Father Henry and Brother Peter appeared together as mystery guests on the 6/12/66 episode. Yes, Arlene was there. Arlene was also on Jane's other two mystery guest appearances. (2/9/64 and 1/8/67).
Joe Postove
Peter Fonda was on with Henry in 1966. Arlene was there.
Has Jane Fonda ever spoken about her experience as a WML panelist? It would be interesting to know how she remembers it.
Lee's meteoric rise was short lived. She also seems a little affected here. She is very charming and unaffected in her later appearances.
She was actually a bit shy.
Meteoric rise? She worked steadily over the years, but part of that work was in plays (a future Mystery Guest appearance on WML? would be during the initial Broadway run of Frederick Knott's "Wait Until Dark," in which she played Suzy) - and, when she remarried in 1970, to British producer Kip Gowans, she moved to England and made some movies and TV there over the last 21 years of her life (as well as some in the U.S.). She was also quite choosy - and rightfully so - about what she would appear in and with whom.
(I like her in the 1983 TV showing of a stage performance of "I Do! I Do!", in which she co-stars with Hal Linden. They both sing and dance and act very well. I purchased a DVD copy of the telecast through Premiere Opera, Ltd. in New York some years ago.)
@@jmccracken1963 Her decision to move to England, reduced her options. She was also more interested in choosing material that interested her rather than commmercial projects that may have given her more immediate visibility. She was also adamant in not doing nudity, as for example in A severed head she is the only one of the 3 main female characters who does not undress. She was also occassionally unlucky in her choice of projects, as for example Mel Ferrer buying the rights of Wait Until Darl for Audrey Hepburn thereby negating her the possibility of repeating her stage role on screen and Robert Redford deciding to cast Mary Tyler Moore in ordinary people after he had practically signed Lee for the part. She also left Agnes of God when the play was still off broadway. If she had stayed with it she might have gotten the role in the film, which role ironically went to Fonda.
Nice memories. Ladies knew to remain seated...gentlemen knew to stand. And Jane Fonda was clueless and funny at this particular time....before she got all full of herself. Loved loved loved Lee Remick!
How ironic was it that Jane Fonda would get confused between left and right?
Good closing quip by John lol.
Ah..., Jane Fonda's starring with her father, Henry Fonda, in the first movie I ever watched on a VCR machine: "On Golden Pond"; and this was at a friend's house. I absolutely love this movie, which also includes a stellar performance by Katherine Hepburn. It is a wonderful study of characters. And somewhere I heard--or read--that this movie was the catalyst that brought Jane Fonda and her father back together, as apparently they had been estranged for number of years, for what reasons I do not know. Maybe somebody could provide a more in-depth analysis of that situation.
I saw Mona at The Louvre in 1994,
I saw it around that time also. Although I spent a lot of time in Paris during the 1990s, I went to the Louvre only once, either in 94 or 95. Great experience.
I saw it in DC in ‘63 with my parents.
Ridiculously overrated. There was also more than one.
great actress
At 8:44, John Daly says that the Smithsonian Institution was the parent organization of the National Gallery of Art. But since the museum building was built in 1937 to the present day, the National Gallery of Art has been independent of the Smithsonian.
Yeah, that’s what I thought, too.
Oh my gosh is she beautiful, and what a fantastic job she did in this movie and others.
Jane Fonda was about 25 here; and so lovely!
She always looked younger than her age.
You mean "Hanoi Jane" ??? ...
@@FakeItalianoII Get over it already.
Ok she was cute but for those of us who were in uniform in the 60
‘s have a different out look at Hanoi Jane. Even today
She has apologied sincerely for some of the things she said and did, off course. It was a crazy time and she wasn't against you guys so much as outraged by the insane machine that was chewing up so many of you.
Too little too late and many were lost
@@chuckendweiss4849 I hear you. It's just that she's not culpable in the way those who were actually responsible for so many being lost were culpable.
@gcjerryusc And people who protested it took the flak and got called unpatriotic.
Jane's protest of an unjustified US presence in another country's civil war pales in comparison to trump's evasion of the draft with a completely fraudulent deferment when 60,000 of his fellow Americans were killed or mamed. Republicans are so tribal in their beliefs that they fail to see how reagan and bush 41 created the taliban and al qaeda which led to 9/11 which led to bush 43's phony war in Iraq which created ISIS. All at a cost of lives and over 7 trillion in taxpayer dollars.
This was before the hatred attitude toward Jane arose due to her photo on the seat of an anti-aircraft gun in North Viet-Nam.
These same bozos directed hatred toward Fonda, yet no hatred at the politicians who lied and manipulated them into war, causing thousands of their relatives/friends to be killed and maimed - not to mention the Billions of tax dollars pocketed by the war profiteers. Hate Jane for calling attention to stopping the lies and waste, but praise the liars and profiteers, lol. Hell, no wonder they started the Vietnam scam in the first place - PT Barnum called it.
I know Lee Remick primarily from "The Omen."
Wow, Jane Fanda was soooo cute :)
Jane is utterly charming here.
Sad how soon we forget "Hanoi Jane" ...
@@FakeItalianoII So why don't YOU forget it already???
@@FakeItalianoII - clown, get a life. Vietnam was a scam war that the Govt lied about for decades, then abruptly quit when the lies unraveled. Its dimwits like yourself that allow lying politicians and defense contractors to bilk taxpayers out of billions of dollars and have thousands of Americans killed for no reason, all while folks like you offer nonstop lip service, but never service with a weapon in the overseas combat zone.
Although most comments are interesting, the comments that are so negative and judgmental have made me realize I need to stop reading the comments.
John Q Lewis Is it in the bologna family?
Johm Daily, I don't know anyone in the family, sorry.
Another funny moment.

Got your names ballsed up there, buddy!
A true star. And the beautiful young Jane Fonda.
Strange, but I recall that Cleveland radio sports personality, Peter J. Franklin had the hots for Lee Remick.
OK, maybe someone commented, but I havent' seen it .. wasn't it a bit creepy how Fonda turned her face so close to Lewis?
DisVids - Yes, I see that too... around 22:00.
Lucky Lewis. Jane was and still is one of the most vibrant people ever to have lived.
Oh, she's just flirting.
Everyone's so slim, or was back then.
Before Nixon's Ag Secretary Earl Butts made sure that everything would be made with corn syrup.
@@roberthockett270 he spelled it Butz, but yep
It's not that they were so slim "back then." That was simply the normal way the majority of people were. It's that so many people are so extremely obese now that fat is the normal way to be. The reasons are too obvious to go into---The change in life style from generally active to sedentary, and the average diet changed from cooking meals toward junk-food.
@@slaytonp I think that's one of the key takeaways in comparing cultures between then and now.
@@judylondon7126 It's also rather ironic that one of the good things, the opening of careers and jobs for women outside the home contributed initially to the junk food market and quickie meals. It didn't take long before a second income was a necessity in order to maintain the middle class standard of living for many people.
2 of my favorites...Jane Fonda and Lee Remick!
Lee Remick's look on this appearance reminds me a little of Kirsten Dunst.
"Days of Wine and Roses" is a 1962 film, yet the date of this episode is listed as 1/13/63, and Lee says the film is just about to open. I have a feeling the date listed above is incorrect.
Another worldly ...
Jane Fonda is so beautiful
Is it in the Bologna family? I don’t know anyone in the Bologna family - ha ha ha!!!
I ❤️ Qsie
Fonda is pretty, but Remick is beautiful.
@z Do you ever think about the content of your comments before you post them?
Fonda is alive, but Remick is dead
bennett should have made the story in a little hanoi restaurant...that would have been more appropriate
she was on 3 different episodes.. sadly, she died only 28 years after this
uselessjoe 28 years later.
that's what I said
Note how Dottie could turn that saccharine smile into a sourpuss snarl in an instant … oooooh!
My God that Jane Fonda was HOT!
too bad she's a traitor
Dorothy looks older here (and yes, I KNOW people get older, but up until now, I've never seen her age any)
“Do you wear a uniform?” “Yes, ma’am” “Is it Viet-Cong?” … 👧
As they chanted in the Popeye cartoon, "Salami, Salami, Baloney."
I think the laughs we hear about the line of the salami girl is how one's breath may smell when eating the food. However that was 1963. Today's unfortunate cruddy culture might elicit the same amount of laughter, but I think we would be thinking along the lines of a sexual connotation.
Of course the dude wasn't watching the Mona Lisa right then.
Who knew salami was so funny? John does know from salami either.
