So sad what happened to Dorothy. She had gumption, beauty, and incredible intelligence. Our nation lost a great journalist, and patriot. If she had lived, we would know for sure who murdered our President Kennedy.
What a wonderful program was What's My Line, and it had everything to do with finding four panelists and a moderator who were witty, intelligent, fun. They also played beautifully off one another.
Just my belief and opinion only, I believe it was an accidental overdose. Very little alcohol and barbiturate reportedly found in her blood. Her husband and a child were reportedly asleep in their townhome. She had such a glimmer. Miss her sharp intellect.
yes, it was never solved other than to say that they say that she overdosed , which is such a cop-out and we all know it's not true. We all know she didn't drink or take barbituaites.
@@RonGerstein Judge much? Married to that THING would make you drink a lot too. Not to mention he was a MAJOR suspect in her M*Rder. Yes, she was offed. Fact.
21:49 Oh it's not called by your name Dorothy: Not necessarily, they decided to say it wasn't. I don't know how this show appeared in my recommendations. I've seen few episodes and this Dorothy is absolute treasure, I absolutely love her!
@Jeepman89 I'm not sure where you got that from. In Lee Isreal's biography on Dorothy Kilgallen, she describes Richard Kollmar's numerous affairs, and all of them were heterosexual encounters.
They were hilarious on this episode. Five more witty people playing a parlor game you couldn't find. I thought it must have been difficult for Kollmar to come up with a voice he had never used as a joke at home. Then again, maybe he didn't make so many jokes at home. I thought for sure they'd get Garry Moore's voice when he pretended to be the tough guy from Brooklyn. There were a few cases when his own voice shone through just a little. Sadly, Fred Allen died just five months after this. It's interesting that after Allen and Dorothy died, they were not replaced by new regulars. Steve Allen and Martin Gabel were guest panelists a lot, but not regulars. No woman replaced Dorothy. One might have thought of Betty White or Phyllis Newman as a possibility, but neither of them would have complemented Arlene like Dorothy did. She had both wit and gravitas and a strong desire to play the game well, not just for laughs. "I've got the time and you've got the inclination." They actually got away with quite suggestive material. I probably started watching WML in 1958, so I wouldn't have seen any of the shows with Fred Allen when they were originally broadcast.
I never knew anything about Dorothy Kilgallen until I saw these WML videos and started reading about her. I think it's safe to say that she was a more widely known and admired person than any of the other regular panel members. That's saying something, because the others were highly successful with substantial public images.
He was an adulterous philander. They didn't have an open marriage until after she walked in on him having sex with another woman in their marital bed, after which she refused to share a bed with him and to lie in that bed again. His was the bed she was placed in after she was murdered.

@@Dawn-iu8nxwere you a fly on the wall in that home? You seem to have plenty of knowledge on this. P.S I loved dorothy.
byrdman byrdman Dorothy’s friend Marc Sinclaire was video- recorded talking in the year 2000. He also had known Dick Kollmar. He is an excellent, reliable source on why Dorothy never would have voluntarily lain down in the bed in which she lay when Marc found her. Indeed, 12 years before Dorothy’s death, Dick Kollmar did something with another guy in that bed, and Dorothy walked in the room (on the third floor of their brownstone) and surprised them.
He was Boston Blackie on radio for several years, and he and Dorothy hosted a greatly successful radio show for a good, long while. " Breakfast with Dick and Dorothy " if you can believe it.
yes, it was highly popular in New York. I believe they made $1000 per week during broadcasting times. Also, I believe she was still doing her columns in which she made even more. Rumor has it that she was paid quite a bit for "What's my Line". She always had income streaming in, unlike her husband who dabbled in nightclubs, restaurants, and art galleries. In other words, they had enough money to start businesses and such and "Boston Blackie" also dabbled in other women, although Dorothy didn't seem to mind since she found her own play-toys (Johnnie Rae, etc.)

No, perhaps you read that he died in the 1990s (1993). Garry lived to the age of 78, dying of Emphysema -- no surprise as he was a heavy smoker. Watch any of the IGAS episodes and he's rarely without a cigarette in his hand.
I believe I have watched every "What's My Line" that Dorothy was on. What a horrific tragedy that such a beautiful and a huge asset to the World was murdered over 50+ years ago.
Amen...She must have known something. How sad and WHAT A LOSS THAT THIS LOVELY LADY was taken by someone who had done something to warrant her death...So sad
@@chairlesnicol672My pleasure. I just "discovered" story about mysteries death of Dorothy Kilgallen and been reading everything what is attainable including comments on YT Just come across their payment on WML.
This show could not happen today, with the internet and social media. The Petty Girl was huge, back in the day, and George Petty would be instantly recognized were he to appear on TV today, as creator of an iconic pop culture image. A similar situation happened when Earle Stanley Gardiner was on WML. Sixty years ago, his name was known all over the world as the author of the Perry Mason detective novels, but apparently the producers were certain enough that no one on the panel would recognize him by sight. So, as in the case of Mr. Petty, he was introduced as "Mr. X." And Bennett was a book publisher! (I've forgotten if Bennett was on the panel that night.) Imagine no one today knowing what J. K. Rowling or Gary Trudeau looks like. I love the shows with the Allens, Fred and Steve. And Fred would be gone by February of 1956. Dick and Dorothy had, respectively, about 15 and 9 years before tragedy would overtake them. Oh, the good old days! Dorothy looks especially fetching on this evening.
When she died, the cocktail in her system was strikingly similar to the one that killed Marilyn Monroe. And within a week, her assistant died a mysterious death as well.
John & Dick seemed to loose track of the stated "Line", i.e. that of Broadway producer, particularly with regard to questions regarding whether or not the panellists could use his services.
Watching these old WML shows, I too came to be enamored by her intelligence/wit, charm and her femininity while being a dominating force in a male orientated journalistic field! If I were to be asked who I would want to talk to from the past, Dorothy Kilgallen would at least be one of my picks! my opinion 🦂
I'm reasonably certain that the characters of Irene Draper and Roger Daley in Woody Allen's movie Radio Days (1987) were based on Dorothy Kilgallen and Dick Kollmar. Allen said that he collected stories about the people on radio and that they were based on actual shows.
When I was a young boy and read books published by Random house I never knew the people behind it. It is obvious now that they had to be like mr Surf 😚
Andrew Carey Thank you, Andrew. :) As of typing this comment, 28,005 other viewers also had no problem with the audio, or at least didn't take the time out to leave a useless comment complaining about it.
+What's My Line? , here, I'll fix it. A man decides to enter a cloistered monastery and take a vow of silence. The abbot tells him he will be allowed to say two words every five years. Five years pass and he appears before the abbot to say his two words. He says, "Bed hard" Another five years pass and once again he appears before the abbot. This time he says,"Food bad" Finally, after another five years, he appears before the abbot and says, "I quit" The abbot looks at him and says,"I'm not surprised. You've done nothing but complain since you got here" ( I realize this doesn't really fix the original posters comment, but it's a lot funnier.)
I perceived a coolness between Miss Kilgallen and her husband. This could have been around the time she confessed to Richard Kollmar that he was not the father of their youngest son. She had had an affair with singer Johnnie Ray.
@@nsnopper Woman is easy to blame when she has affair. But in that case I feel sorry for Dorothy for being married to a man who didn't give her attention,love and intimacy.
When I was a child in the 1950's in NYC my mother would listen to Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick. They discussed all things Broadway and New York. It was broadcast from their New York apartment. I loved the show even as a child. My father hated it, but it was on every morning as we got ready for school.
Bennett said to Arlene, “they’ll be clamoring for you in Scranton “, I’m from Scranton. Lived there 50 years. I’m in a different location now and I miss Scranton, a great place at that time to grow up. Was nice to hear that.
“If you had more talent, you might avail yourself of my services.” What a swipe from Dorothy’s husband. He was a failed actor (rumor was he married her thinking her status might get him into stardom), so I wonder if he was jealous of her accomplishments.
Dorothy allegedly cheated on Kollmar with singer Johnny Ray and had his child. According to one citation, Kollmar thought the child was his until she eventually admitted the truth. I never could have imagined such a thing about her. Just goes to show that people are often the opposite of what they appear to be.
@@Celisar1 I read it on Johnny Ray’s Wikipedia page and on another site that I can’t recall at the moment, but it could be “fake news” since Wikipedia is sometimes unreliable. If I find the other citation I’ll post it.
The original joke was "what did the leaning tower of Pisa say to Big Ben" "If you've got the time ive got the inclination". And its still wrong for the same reason.
Unfortunately the uploader not only doesn't care, he verbally attacks any viewers who call attention to the audio problems in his uploads. Problems that could have easily been resolved through the proper editing software.
I have always wondered about Dorothy's death. The scene was staged according to police who were there that night who investigated the mysterious death. She was a reader in bed at night but her eye glasses were across the room on a bureau and the book was one she had read previously according to her husband and there was a large amount of nicotine in her blood that night and she was not a smoker. Very strange mystery. I always felt so sorry for her kids. They were so young then and only five or six years later dick kollmar took his own life so they were without parents at very young ages
@Mary C I have ask that question my self. I just found about her death couple of months ago, And Its so happens that Dorothy's grave is 10 min from my house. and I wanted to give her my respect by cleaning her plot, and brought her flowers .

Richard Kollmar used the same squeeky voice when he was the MG the following years. A good voice since Dorothy failed to recognize him.
That voice was so weird that I thought he was using a voice changing device at first. Then I'm shocked to find that he was doing it himself.

“If you had more talent, you might avail yourself of my services.” What a swipe from Dorothy’s husband. He was a failed actor (rumor was he married her thinking her status might get him into stardom), so I wonder if he was jealous of her accomplishments.
I just thought it was good-natured teasing.
@@colleen4ever Nothing wrong with teasing, as long as there’s not a barb included.
I've never heard of 'The Petty Girl'........but am guessing this guy was a pinup artist? My favorite pinup artist was Gil Elvgren.
Now I don't feel bad about Steve not recognizing his new bride on another show.
“It’s a question of talent, rather than sex...”
He first said that it she had more talent!!
They had an open marriage!!

I really liked Garry Moore. Had never heard of him. Funny man. Loved how he called for the small conference!
Dorothy allegedly cheated on Kollmar with singer Johnny Ray and had his child. According to one citation, Kollmar thought the child was his until she eventually admitted the truth.
I never could have imagined such a thing about her. Just goes to show that people are often the opposite of what they appear to be.
Where did you get that?
@@Celisar1
I read it on Johnny Ray’s Wikipedia page and on another site that I can’t recall at the moment, but it could be “fake news” since Wikipedia is sometimes unreliable. If I find the other citation I’ll post it.
Open marriage
@@dinahbrown902
I guess so
So you are saying that Dorothy's husband murdered her because she had a son from a different father. CALL THE FBI !!!!!
That Tower of London joke makes no sense. Think they got the Tower mixed up with Big Ben...?
Big Ben is the tower that is known for the clock.
@@lindahinojosa299 not correct. The bell is called Big Ben. The tower is called Elizabeth's tower. Happy to help
The original joke was "what did the leaning tower of Pisa say to Big Ben" "If you've got the time ive got the inclination". And its still wrong for the same reason.

So true. Lol

Interesting bit from Wiki about George Petty: It says that his main model for his pin-up art was his own daughter!
Why didn't the studio geniuses who provided patently crappy studio mics install a mute button for Mr. Daly's conferences??
The panelists can still hear the voices of John Charles Daly and contestants in the studio even without the microphones if they talked normally.
Not able to hear this video.
Close caption 😊
I wish I could have heard this better
Omg! George Petty! Completely unexpectedly! Boy, am I glad I watched on after the advertised first guest!
Unfortunately the volume too low to hear.
Unfortunately the uploader not only doesn't care, he verbally attacks any viewers who call attention to the audio problems in his uploads. Problems that could have easily been resolved through the proper editing software.
Headphones do wonders
Can we go back to this time???? Everything was better!
No, not really.
Only for white males.
Not
Not everything, but taken as a whole. We were better then.
We’ve taken 1 step forward and 5 backward.
To deny this is true is the height of myopia.

I Wonder Who Killed Dorothy Kilgallen the Monday 11/08/1965?
I have always wondered about Dorothy's death. The scene was staged according to police who were there that night who investigated the mysterious death. She was a reader in bed at night but her eye glasses were across the room on a bureau and the book was one she had read previously according to her husband and there was a large amount of nicotine in her blood that night and she was not a smoker. Very strange mystery. I always felt so sorry for her kids. They were so young then and only five or six years later dick kollmar took his own life so they were without parents at very young ages
Mary C Apparently she was on the brink of writing a very hot article about the JFK shooting...so that might help you put two and two together
@Mary C I have ask that question my self. I just found about her death couple of months ago, And Its so happens that Dorothy's grave is 10 min from my house. and I wanted to give her my respect by cleaning her plot, and brought her flowers .
Her husband did
@@emilyhayek1132 oh wow I had no idea thanks. So very sad
"Not in the context of the services"...got to love John Daly
is there anything that bennett cerf doesn't know about??
Rumor has it that Bennett don't know nothing about birthin' babies. Either that or its butterflies he knows nothing about.
Walter Moriarty Well, he didn't know that the Tower of London doesn't hold Big Ben.
Yes. How to be funny.
