Another prime example of why we should continue to teach children the ART of cursive writing. However, since it doesn't lead to making money & we communicate written things via computers, I guess the school boards think such a skill is worthless these days.
John and the panelists could not possibly have imagined how much pleasure they would be giving to so many people so many years later. What a wonderful show on so many levels. Many thanks @What's My Line? for all of your hard work in bringing these gems to us.
God was exceedingly generous when it comes to Elizabeth's qualities. She was a lady of natural, breathtaking beauty, charming, adorable, quick-witted, charismatic, elegant, funny... This remarkably talented actress even had beautiful handwriting!!! Just WOW!!!
I am from Sweden and just recently discovered this show on youtube. It's fantastic to watch this, like a window to the past, and all the most famous actors. Daly, Dorothy, Arlene and Bennet are all very amiable people, and Elizabeth Taylor! my god she was beautiful! and talented.
I grew up watching this show. I loved it and led to a lifetime of curiosity towards people and love of stories. I watch now and am struck by vocabulary and use of language. But mostly love the panel members and this terrific idea of a show.
Again I enjoyed the mystery guest antics.....Ms. Taylor knocked it out of the park for sure!! Also love the infectious laugh of one of the audience members 😄 🤣 😆
Care to Explain How She "Obviously" and "Plainly" .. .... .....OHH.. ... And "Clearly" Exceeds the Likes of Yvonne De Carlo, Maureen O'Hara... .. Among Others,?.. ...Who are "Obviously" inferior (?)..
I also was surprised to see this. She was adorable and quite funny but the audience didn’t laugh nearly as much as I did at her whole demeanor. I’m surprised to see how much Jennifer Lawrence has in common with her demeanor.
Extraordinarily beautiful, yes... but also one of the funniest guests I have seen on this show so far. (Thanks so much for uploading these! They are a real treat!)
I was a child and I remember maybe half of the panel and a few guests who appeared but I LOVE this show. Such grace and charm as we rarely see now in 2022. So glad these are available to view now! !
@@jeffzest8393 Yeah, we should really go back to those times, right?...People either complain that today people are too crude or that people are too sensitive. This if from a Wikipedia article on Fred Allen, one of the panelists: "At the time of socialite Brenda Frazier's wedding, Allen was barred from saying "Brenda never looked lovelier" unless he could get direct permission from the Frazier family. Allen was ordered to change the Cockney accent he assigned the character of a first mate aboard the Queen Mary - on the grounds that the ship's first mate could only be a cultured man who might not like a Cockney accent. Allen had to fight to keep Mrs. Nussbaum in the Allen's Alley routines because NBC feared Jewish-dialect humor "might offend all Jews," despite the fact that Jewish dialect humor had been a vaudeville and burlesque staple for years. Allen was ordered to never mention the fictitious town of North Wrinkle until or unless it could be proven that no such town existed. "Allen not only couldn't poke fun at individuals," Crosby (Bing) wrote. "He also had to be careful not to step on their professions, their beliefs, and sometimes even their hobbies and amusements. Portland Hoffa was once given a line about wasting an afternoon at the rodeo. NBC objected to the implication that an afternoon at the rodeo was wasted and the line had to be changed. Another time, Allen gagged that a girl could have found a better husband in a cemetery. The censor thought this might hurt the feelings of people who own and operate cemeteries. Allen got the line cleared only after pointing out that cemeteries have been topics for comedy since the time of Aristophanes."
Elizabeth Taylor's second child, Christopher Wilding, was born on February 27, 1955, so Ms. Taylor was something like six months pregnant when she made this appearance on WML, I wondered when I saw the cut of the top of her 2-piece suit. Definitely maternity clothing, though it looked expensive.
My mother and Ms. Taylor were born the same year, same heigth and Ms. Taylor just "a little bit" more beautiful :) Years ago, when Liz Taylor was still alive, but in a wheelchair, we played a joke on some people at a zoo. My mom happened to have the same type sunglasses and scarf around her head that Ms. Taylor often wore. We were standing in a long line. I asked my mother (in a loud stage whisper): "Ms. Taylor, who was your favorite leading man?" My mom played right along and went into some comments about famous actors. You should have seen the backs of those people! One by one, they tried to glance over their shoulders without being obvious. All the way to the front of the line. Hushed whispering and pointing. My mother got such a kick out of it and we kept in character as the line dispersed. My dear mother died this past year. What a trooper!
But really, even if you were just yourselves talking out loud in a line of people everyone would he annoyed too and keep looking back to see who the noisy couple were
LOL. We weren't being very loud-perhaps just a stage whisper and the people were packed so close together...(I don't know why the line was so long that day). Perhaps, you are right about the noisy couple, though...:) @@edmundpower1250
Taylor was not happy with Dorothy's joke about picking the right husband. You can tell at the end of the show when Taylor was kind of curt with the greeting.
She almost always was. Despite the endless vagaries and publicity provocations of her private life, she was old-school in that she kept up the smart, polite facade. That was why she was such a shock as the angry slattern of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf'. It was a routine career move for a glamor puss- 'change of pace', playing a nun, schoolmarm or murderess- but she made the most of it, although today it looks almost as stilted as her performances in such fare as 'BUtterfield 8' and 'Ivanhoe'. Liz was, deep down, a British lady who feared her success was much more to do with luck than talent. She was honest about the turkeys she made, and her slowness in picking up the craft of acting. But she did let herself be sucked into the maelstrom of 'famous for being famous'. The rumpus about Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds was bad enough if she had wanted to be taken seriously, but for most of the Sixties the overkill about her and Richard Burton was insane- they made the Kardashians look like shrinking wallflowers. The worst of it was that you could see Burton, potentially another Olivier, ruining himself trying to hang on to her.
FYI: She was a hardcore Zionist (even though she was a Jewish convert) and well known for her anti-Islam rhetoric. Judging by your name, I'm assume you're either Muslim or at least come from a Muslim background. Still think of her as intelligent and charismatic?
When she was a child of 9, the producers told Liz's dad; 'She has the job but don't put any mascara on her, we do that here at the studio''. Her dad replied; 'she's not wearing mascara''.
This is probably the only game show where I really love all the regulars throughout the show's run, but also the majority of the guest panelists as well.
Absolutely. I know they were not perfect but they also did not relish in having all of their business out in the public and claiming their fame that way. Stars then really seemed to take pride in their work and their true talent. Singing today also, anyone they want to be a famous singer can be one with the voice alteration that is done. Rarely find anyone that can truly sing live
I never knew Elizabeth Taylor was so talented with the character well she could’ve done a lot more in the world they kept her back I think they kept her talent back and didn’t let her express herself the way she could have to the world she is wonderful
My husband and his older brother were rescued from a basement bedroom when he was 11 and they had succumbed to oily smoke when the furnace outside his bedroom door was struck by lightning and caught on fire.
Movie Star. Elizabeth Taylor will always be defined as the greatest movie star. And aside from that, she was a multi interested woman who was not only very bright but her compassion and fierceness lead the awareness of AIDS to not just America but the world.
I know a taxi driver who picked her up and a woman friend who was with her. He recognized right away and she realized and it started conversation with him. He asked her questions about her films. He saw them all. He asked in depth about, "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf" and she told him all about it. They drove for about 45 minutes and she conversed with him the whole way. She gave him the biggest he ever got in his life.
Mrs. Stanley was really enjoying herself, here. Fun. At some point in probably 1962, she was fired, says the newspaper, "on charges that she campaigned for the DA's opposition," which, OK. She was married to a gent originally from Poland, who fought in WWI, got his citizenship in 1919 and then died in 1939. They had a couple of kids, and she never (apparently) remarried. She died in 1994, age of 90.
I was 5 years old when this aired. I'm glad my parents were part of this generation because I believe that the changes in our society, in spite of the positive changes, did more harm than good. My generation was called the "Me Generation " for a reason. These people were fun and witty yet were so dignified! They had the right idea of what being a "grown-up" is and I'm afraid that's been lost. Sad.
I totally agree--it wasn't perfect BC people aren't perfect, but watching the classy behavior, politeness & witty dialogue--that has been greatly lost with today's celebrities.
@@rebeccagable9629 It was all show. Like you would put on your "going out in public" personality the same way as dressing up. It was phony. People affected English accents because that was what the masses considered sophisticated. The '60s was a time of rebellion, for better or for worse, to place more of a premium on being "real". Many over-compensated because they were kids, but they got one thing right...the Vietnam War and gunning down student protestors with military rifles on college campuses made no sense. You've been conned if you think the guests and panelists on "What's My Line?" or most of what the advertisers were streaming into your house through your TV reflected what was really going on in the '50s and '60s.
@@rebeccagable9629 Give me "Young Frankenstein" any day. A lot of those actors you liked so much when a camera was in front of them were not nice people.
The world is so casual about everything now. You now can go out half naked and no one is supposed to judge..but back then you judged yourself and knew better. People had more dignity and pride.
@@stanmaxkolbe I'm sure many black families had dignity and pride. Was not speaking about race. Speaking about manners and politeness especially on TV.
Jaymes Guy WON 2 OSCARS; " Butterfield 8 (1960) ; & "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf (1966) . What she surprisingly shows in this appearance is a salute to her truly Comical Appearance in this clip. I mean that Mini Moose Voice coming out of Elizabeth Taylor : this beautiful, supposedly, soft spoken , glamorous, sexy symbol of International Stardom. A hilarious moment everyone must see & especially HEAR.
Dorothy at the Sheppard Case--a Man, accused of killing his wife.....years later....Totally proven INNOCENT...BUT WAS PERSECUTED BY THE D.A...basis for the hit TV series...''The Fugitive''....old enough to remember the trial.....
Elizabeth Taylor (who never answered to "Liz") was on her second husband as of 1954. She'd end up having been married eight times in total. I remember one time, when Red Skelton was on his TV show telling jokes, he told this one. A man went to a psychologist and said, "Doctor, I'm so depressed. I'm in love with Elizabeth Taylor and she's already married." "Don't worry!" the psychologist said. "Just be patient. She'll get around to you eventually!"
Rue McClanahan had a half dozen husbands, as she explained in an interview (because women must justify their private lives), they didn't have sex in those days without "benefit" of marriage. ET, Ava Gardner, Doris Day, Lauren Bacall, Myrna Loy ALL had MULTIPLE husbands, ALL ended up living alone, ALL preferred it to marriage. Betty White had ONE husband she loved, probably why she's still around today.
I don't think people's nature has changed but how they express themselves has and what is acceptable behavior in public and society has. And that is really sad.
By every objective criteria - average lifespan, standard of living, civil rights, infant mortality, understanding then natural world, every area of technology, even US tax rates - society has improved. Please don’t throw out modern healthcare, the internet and 60 years of unparalleled progress, out of jealousy for superficial evening dress and televised manners among the upper-crust.
In looking through some of the comments that people have written regarding this particular "What's My Line" episode, as well as for the show itself, my own experience watching a number of these episodes over the last several months have made me often laugh out loud--and often! When you think about some of the occupations of the guests and how they were aligned, or misaligned, to the comments that the unsuspecting panelists made, created wonderful comedy.
The Voice Liz Taylor did was exactly what she did when she did the Voice for Maggie Simpson when Maggie spoke for the only time saying: "Daddy" on the episode when they were reminiscing about what were Bart and Lisa's First Words.
Especially those gone many years ago. Arlene died in 2001 but had dementia and Liz passed I believe in 2011. But Dorothy and Fred left too soon to realize the technology of today.
@AnthonyCalandra, correct me if I’m wrong, but as I write this it’s April 2022, and we just received notice a few weeks ago that Arlene Francis had passed away. The article stated she was in her late 90’s.
Boy! this brings me back to a time when elocution, grammar, articulation and just plain smart conversation was the norm of the day! Makes today's typical narrations pale in comparison!
Elizabeth Taylor. At her most beautiful. Even her signature was beautiful. And so clever in answers!!!
Agreed at her most beautiful.

This is my favorite mystery guest. Besides her great looks she is so charming and funny. I laugh every time I hear her say "uh huh."
Not so many coments hmm
She was expecting her third child.

The world is so casual about everything now. You now can go out half naked and no one is supposed to judge..but back then you judged yourself and knew better. People had more dignity and pride.
@@nysavvy9241 What about the South? Black people was not allowed dignity.
@@stanmaxkolbe I'm sure many black families had dignity and pride. Was not speaking about race. Speaking about manners and politeness especially on TV.
Civility was voted out of office in 2016.
Thanks for the upload !!
I thought the only binge watching i would do from the 50s would be the twilight zone. Holy cow, it's 6am.
Elizabeth Taylor is the most beautiful actress in silver screen.
She was so blessed with good looks and a big heart.
Honestly I wanna be her. She was just insanely beautiful. She is pure and utter femininity! 💜
I missed seeing Arlene's heart necklace tonight.
It must have been totally soul destroying to have had it stolen from her after her husband had already passed away.
Liz Taylor was wonderful!
incredible signature and her made up voice is brilliant!!
My favorite episode!
Thank you
"testing whistles on whistling teakettles" is quite an occupation!
Liz Taylor: much under-rated as an actress.
Won an Oscar-so not
+bloodgrss but, is not really remembered as a great actress, but a great American beauty, which isn't negative, but she should be remembered as both
Jaymes Guy WON 2 OSCARS;
" Butterfield 8 (1960) ; & "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf (1966) .
What she surprisingly shows in this appearance is a salute to her truly Comical Appearance in this clip. I mean that Mini Moose Voice coming out of Elizabeth Taylor : this beautiful, supposedly, soft spoken , glamorous, sexy symbol of International Stardom. A hilarious moment everyone must see & especially HEAR.
REALLY...u should've c'n my Mom who always did her make-up and plucked her eyebrows just like LaLiz!!!;)
*British*-American! :-) (I'd always thought of her as British, being from there myself, but then I see she first moved to the US at age 7.)
Dorothy at the Sheppard Case--a Man, accused of killing his wife.....years later....Totally proven INNOCENT...BUT WAS PERSECUTED BY THE D.A...basis for the hit TV series...''The Fugitive''....old enough to remember the trial.....
Elizabeth Taylor (who never answered to "Liz") was on her second husband as of 1954. She'd end up having been married eight times in total. I remember one time, when Red Skelton was on his TV show telling jokes, he told this one. A man went to a psychologist and said, "Doctor, I'm so depressed. I'm in love with Elizabeth Taylor and she's already married." "Don't worry!" the psychologist said. "Just be patient. She'll get around to you eventually!"
ToddSF 94109 My eyes bulged when Dorothy said she hopes she gets the husband right. 😳
@@theL81Again 😂😂😂
Taylor should have looked at her watch before answering.
Rue McClanahan had a half dozen husbands, as she explained in an interview (because women must justify their private lives), they didn't have sex in those days without "benefit" of marriage. ET, Ava Gardner, Doris Day, Lauren Bacall, Myrna Loy ALL had MULTIPLE husbands, ALL ended up living alone, ALL preferred it to marriage. Betty White had ONE husband she loved, probably why she's still around today.
@@unowen-nh9ov Fraid not. Betty had two ex-husbands by the time she married Allen Ludden.
She was so lovely! Elisabeth T,I mean!🇨🇦❤️
That voice was wonderful
Love watching these old shows. Wouldn't these individuals be shocked to see how society has gone downhill.
@xxGodx really 🙄 You don't get out much do you?
@xxGodx 🤣😂😄
I don't think people's nature has changed but how they express themselves has and what is acceptable behavior in public and society has. And that is really sad.
By every objective criteria - average lifespan, standard of living, civil rights, infant mortality, understanding then natural world, every area of technology, even US tax rates - society has improved. Please don’t throw out modern healthcare, the internet and 60 years of unparalleled progress, out of jealousy for superficial evening dress and televised manners among the upper-crust.
One of the greatest joy for me is to be with the joy and wonderful passtime of the pass as it is the case with "What's My Line". ❤🍷😊
She is stunning
“WOW”she didn’t recognize him without his rubbers.lol
8:40 this lady has the best suggestive one liners 😂😂 also what hilarious commentary by a 22 year old Elizabeth Taylor!
There was nothing "suggestive" in her one liner, rubbers were the common name of rubber shoes/boots, that people wore to stay dry, including firemen.
One of my favorite movies is The Last Time I Saw Paris. I just rewatched it last week.
Young Sir Roger Moore in that one, none too shabby his self! 007 in a tux, early years.
Second contestant's occupation was one of the funniest ever. We all knew that the panelists would never get that..
Somebody in the audience lost it completely when she did her voice.
In looking through some of the comments that people have written regarding this particular "What's My Line" episode, as well as for the show itself, my own experience watching a number of these episodes over the last several months have made me often laugh out loud--and often! When you think about some of the occupations of the guests and how they were aligned, or misaligned, to the comments that the unsuspecting panelists made, created wonderful comedy.
Well Americans sure are very polite! I’d just love to visit one-day. Greetings from Australia!
Come on over, the East is not the friendliest bit, but most of us are tolerable, Illinois here, where Abe Lincoln called home! 🤠
lol 4:58 "...I think they'd like it, Mr. Gold..." So sweet and innocent, so elegant and poised, yet so bold. Touché, Ms. Francis.
IN MY VIEW
Elizabeth Taylor is not only Awe-Strikingly Beautiful, she is a Master of her acting trade.
The Voice Liz Taylor did was exactly what she did when she did the Voice for Maggie Simpson when Maggie spoke for the only time saying: "Daddy" on the episode when they were reminiscing about what were Bart and Lisa's First Words.
I did not know that, who did Bart?

@@matthewarroyo3118 Thanks, much obliged
Rest In Peace Elizabeth Taylor. Overdue condolences to the family for your loss. 😔💐🇬🇧
You can tell these episodes are over 50 years old - everyone knows how to write in cursive.
You proved your age by your ability to read cursive too.
Everyone on this show would be blown away if they time traveled and saw how we watch them now! 🤓 2019
Yes they would.
Especially those gone many years ago. Arlene died in 2001 but had dementia and Liz passed I believe in 2011. But Dorothy and Fred left too soon to realize the technology of today.
@AnthonyCalandra, correct me if I’m wrong, but as I write this it’s April 2022, and we just received notice a few weeks ago that Arlene Francis had passed away. The article stated she was in her late 90’s.
Boy! this brings me back to a time when elocution, grammar, articulation and just plain smart conversation was the norm of the day! Makes today's typical narrations pale in comparison!
My all time favorite Elizabeth Taylor
