![What's My Line? - Fifth anniversary show; Pearl Bailey; Sam Levenson [panel] (Feb 6, 1955)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XZLmp3sQccE/mqdefault.jpg)
I have loved Ann Sothern for many decades but just discovered her great singing voice! She was classically trained by her Mother who was a concert singer. Ann Sothern won awards for musical compositions three years in a row when she was a teenager and was also an excellent pianist.
To hear and see Ann Sothern sing beautifully, put "The Last Time I Saw Paris" Ann Sothern on RUclips. She sang so well!
A beautiful and charming woman.
I loved watching Ann Sothern in her show "Private Secretary", back in the 50s.
Ann Southern is not only smart, but beautiful!
Ann Sothern just had personal sparkle. Her hair was always very teased and big, yet somehow delicate and flattering to her soft face. Love her charm.
I agree, a very charming woman. I would never be in her league, so to speak, but you can imagine that she must have been very enjoyable to be around. A terrific guest or hostess.
I always loved how her tv shows ended with her pulling her boss out of a mess that he had created for himself....she always played the loyal "right hand". And since she was the producer of her tv shows (AnSo Productions) you knew it wasn't just someone else's idea for a cute ending.
She must have, she swapped that first man on the nose, twice. Haha
Please view Sam Levenson in the context of the times. By all accounts when I was growing up, he was known as a warm, funny, lovable and kindly man: a mensch if you will. I remember him for two reasons.
First, his articles were often printed in "Reader's Digest", always putting a smile on my face and a chuckle in my belly.
Second was because Sam didn't become successful as a professional entertainer until he was pushing 40. He was a HS teacher in the NYC public school system for the first part of his adult life. After his career as an entertainer took off, he didn't forget his roots. He made regular appearances at NYC public school PTA meetings, delighting audiences with his humor interspersed with wisdom.
One day, Sam spoke to the PTA at the grammar school where my brother and I attended. My mom was there. From then on, Sam Levenson could do no wrong in her eyes. She disdained celebrities who "put on airs". Sam was folksy, very down to earth.
From then on my mom would dote on every word of his "Reader's Digest" articles. Over 50 years later, I can remember one of her favorites. He was writing about how he could still hear in his mind's ear many of the things his mother taught him. One example he gave was that when attending a party where guest towels are put out next to the bathroom sink, never start a clean towel (and make more work for the hostess). He mentioned that he had just attended a party like that. He closed the article with this one sentence final paragraph: "Ma, I didn't start a clean towel."
Mom, I did my best to set the record straight on Sam Levenson.
I had a subscription to Reader's Digest in the 6th grade. I thought it was very grown-up, having a magazine mailed to me. I enjoyed the vocabulary quiz, and- being a city slicker- chuckled at the folksy tone of the whole thing.
Man, was contestant Harry ever TALL!
Ann Sothern is 53 here soon to be 54 and looks great.
Bob Simon has a cute personality. "Crazy Quilt Dragon" shows he listens to radio shows in the 40s...it's from "The Cinnamon Bear."
Pitcher Larry Bearnarth graduated from St. John's University in the middle of 1962 and was the Mets first "bonus baby" signing. He got off to a good start with the Mets top farm team by winning his first two games and then was pounded for the rest of the season, losing 13 in a row with a terrible 6.67 ERA. But when this episode of Password was airing, Larry had turned things around in the Florida Instructional League. His rapid improvement and an excellent spring training with the Mets saw him earn a spot on the major league roster. He had the most appearances of any Mets pitcher that year (58) and appeared to have a promising future.
But he may have been rushed physically. Arm problems dogged him the rest of his major league career. The Dodgers thought highly enough of him that they offered slugger Frank Howard for Bearnarth and Al Jackson. But the Mets turned down the offer. In the end they got next to nothing for him. After pitching in the Mets minor league system from 1967-70, they sold him to the Milwaukee Brewers for a small sum. (It worked out better for the Dodgers who got Claude Osteen from Washington for Frank Howard. He had a much better and longer career than either Jackson or Bearnarth.)
Larry had a much more highly regarded career as a pitching instructor for the Expos and Rockies organizations, both at the major league and minor league level.
He died of a heart attack on New Year's Eve, just before the start of Y2K. He was 58.
Wow!! Thanks for all of the research on him...
*Alliteration does not refer to rhyme, but to two or more words that start with the same sound, such as "candle" and "kettle" etc.*
I was 17 months old when this aired. I remember watching Password with my parents back in the early ‘70’s…as for Ann Sothern who I adore, I’d only find out about her in 2018 when I initially mistook her for Joan Blondell while watching the movie Cry Havoc.
If the word is down to one or two point, the guessers should expect a sounds-like clue.
So kind. Allen was going to give him the word quilt if he hadn't heard if it.
The look on the poor guy's face when he realised that!
@TexasAmericaUSA *of it 🙂

A correction to the contestant list: future major league pitcher is "Lawrence Bearnarth" and he was living in "Bellmore, NY". (Bellmore is one of a handful of neighborhoods that is partly in in NYC, in this case Queens, and partly in the suburbs, in this case Nassau County.) When Nassau was split off from Queens when modern NYC was formed in 1898, the border divided it (along with Floral Park and New Hyde Park, among others).
Lois Simmons I think that may be Bellerose?
If they all could just learn to add up only the clues...not the responses!!!!
Under the pressure of 10 seconds time limit, that becomes harder to do
I was astonished to hear Allen say 2pm NY time, instead of eastern standard time 😮
Hi Lorrie. Thank you so much for the opportunity to get this exciting Joy Bundle. I would love to try the cards. Traveling will be great as I can take and create while in the hotel or with my grandkids. Keeping my fingers crossed. Have a good evening. Raquel
❓
Betty from Texas was bangin'!
Totally!
For "Feed" after the 1st clue was given, I would think the word "Give" would be next which I'm surprised never came up. Also instead of "alliterative", he should have used the clue "Rhyme"
Nourish.
@@lukeheaton5336 hey Luke, that's a good one. FYI this is Ambient Relaxing and Healing Music in my other incarnation :-)
@@voicetube 😁
You know what would have been AWESOME? If Betty White were a contestant on this show before meeting Allen
Are you being sarcastic? She was.
@@AlanTuringWannabe huh? Where did you get sarcasm from THAT statement?
(and WHO was.... what are you talking about)?
The second male contestant looked about 7 feet tall.
He reminded me of Abraham Lincoln
Sam Levenson couldn't keep his hands off the ladies.
this is true....
e Harris
no kidding!! weird
And Ann couldn't keep her hands off Bob. Works both ways.
I just picture him as an affectionate fatherly figure like my dad.
I'm wondering why nobody gave the clue "Give" after the 1st couple of quotes for "Feed" were spoken (??)
Allen Ludden was a fine, personable host. But he would often get confused on name pronunciations, the order of play, the score, and other details. A blooper moment evoked a puzzled look on Sam's face but the first losing contestant seems to take it in stride. In telling her what her consolation prize is, at 10:46 he calls her "Betty Young". That's the name of the next female contestant. The name of the first female contestant is Katherine Menzel.
For a few seconds when the second female contestant was introduced, I thought how amazing that they had two contestants on the show with the same name. Then I realized the error that Allen had made.
Hated when he interrupted and questioned whether the player read the word right, when they did!
@@m.e.d.7997 That was okay with me when he did that; sometimes players would take another look at the clue and realize that they misread or misunderstood what they thought they had read..
@@alanhumphrey4198 Okay it may have happened but more often than not they just gave a bad clue.
Touchy feely people creep me out
Keep your hands to yourself,
Levinson !
Connect the clues people lol.
They mispronounced his name;it's Ber NARTH.Larry reached the Mets that year and lasted until 1971 with the Brewers.He was almost killed by an angry mob in Venezuela in 1965 after being misquoted.
According to Larry's SABR biography, his remarks were more misunderstood than misquoted. He sent a letter to sportswriter Maury Allen of the New York Post part of which included his remarks about the conditions in Venezuela. The remarks were intended to be humorous. When they were picked up and reprinted in Venezuela, the citizens of that country didn't see them that way.
Fortunately Larry was home in New York for Christmas when the uproar began. We don't know what the fans in Venezuela would have done to him because he wisely didn't go back there.
I always preferred Ann during that phase of her career when she began to develop into a blowsy character actress.
Ann was a good actress-----but not very good at Password. An obvious clue for quilt was "patchwork", and an obvious clue for badge was "scout".
Sam Levenson keeps touching his partners’ hands and faces over and over again, it’s really annoying. But I do love Ann Sothern
Even though she smacked bob between the eyes?
Twice??
@@sharksport01 Oh I don’t remember that part. I still love her - she was excellent in Lady in a Cage.
@@sharksport01He always has annoyed me...
But I adore Ann! ❤
@@randysills4418
I love her too!
Lois, the last girl, was hot!!
I heard Ann Sothern was not nice to Barbara Eden, but Lucille Ball was. I see they never paired Ann here with another woman..lol!
Easy to attack a woman after her death. Ms Sothern had many women friends, including Ms Ball and other female performers spoke highly of her.
No, I think you are wrong. I believe the star who was not nice to Barbara Eden was Anita Ekberg. I looked up the time frame and it fits. Also, Anita Ekberg had a reputation for being difficult and I have heard the exact opposite about Ann Sothern...
Invariably, they almost always pair someone of the opposite sex. When the game was played on Sunday nights, the same contestants played for the entire half hour and they changed combinations over the time...
@@randysills4418 I did read Ann Southern. She was threatened by younger more beautiful women.
@@m.e.d.7997I forget the exact interview but in a somewhat recent interview with Barbara she had mentioned an actress she worked with before Lucille who wasn't exactly kind to her a similar age, the interviewer pulled her credits and mentioned a show she did with Imogene Coca Barbara said she was a doll then mentioned Ann and she said that was it. Ann was rather prickly Jane Powell had some problems with her when they did Nancy Goes to Rio at MGM but she was a talented actress no question.
Idents:
Play Games (5 seconds)
Casino (? seconds; partial)
Play Games (10 seconds; partial)
Sam was detained later for groping the studio audience....
Sam Levinson looks like John Goodman
Sam Levenson,yet another snob as for the Texas accent and/or the Southern accent.
sumthin a tad creepy bout Levenson....luv ann!!!
friend then clue should have been "paid".
The password is Kindle? Why didn't someone say Ipad? Duh.
This program predates iPad and Kindle
Really.
@@patriciacercone2226 WHOOOSH!
Really? Just a few decades before ipads.
Sam Levinson gives off some creepy vibes. He’s always groping as well as rather demeaning…with a smile.
