Thank you for your comment but I was joking when I said my grandmother was her twin. That is so sweet of you. My grandmother looked like her and had her sweet and innocent personality.@@danielhull3122
She was in the movie "Strangers on a Train" as Robert Walker's character's mother & she was befuddled & dense in that role as well. The movie also starred Farley Granger & Alfred Hitchcock's daughter, Pat, who recently passed away. This was another of Hitchcock's suspenseful movies. One of my favorites.
@@su-rv2uq Yes, I knew she collected them. I thought it was fascinating that they were included as part of character. Interesting question about polishing though.
As a kid watching ‘bewitched ‘ I wanted an aunt Clara. She was the best. How could you not love her. So sad she passed during the run of the show. Funny skit with the guys dressed as women.
@@David-yw2lvThank you for that little bit of trivia…. I will go back and rewatch MASH to see and hear Bobby Troup in those scenes…. Thanks again for sharing 🥰
I only watched 👀 this because Marion Lorne was featured. I know she'd been in other shows or movies 🎬, but she will always be Aunt Clara to me. Love ❤ her ‼️
Soooo.... what was Aunt Clara's other secret? (Nothing to do with her secret in I've Got a Secret.) What I found out is that Marion Lorne collected doorknobs in real life as did her character as Aunt Clara. The more you know... LOL!!!
The first group, the male singers that did the song "Daddy" - that was written by Bobby Troup, who also wrote, among other numbers, "The Girl Can't Help It," "Makin' Whoopee," "Tenderly," "The Meaning of the Blues," and "Route 66!" One of the best "I've Got a Secret" shows ever!
Talented has he may have been, let us give credit to where it is due. "Tenderly" was written by Jack Lawrence. And, in no way does Troup come even close to the great Walter Donaldson (February 15, 1893 - July 15, 1947), "Makin" Whoopee", an American prolific popular songwriter and publishing company founder, composing many hit songs of the 1910s to 1940s, that have become standards and form part of the Great American Songbook. (See Wikipedia entry.)
@@tr1954 I looked up "Tenderly" on the ASCAP website and it is indeed attributed to Jack Lawrence. Do you know, by any chance, how/why Bobby Troup is credited therewith? Walter Donaldson indeed has quite a history as a songwriter - I will be looking at his works as well.
I’ve always loved Betsy Palmer’s beauty and class. Her voice absolutely was lilting . Loved her since I was a kid and always would have been honored to meet her. Bess Myerson wasn’t a slouch either . Two of the most elegant women on a panel .
@@flyboy13131 That was when women had class & elegance. I was shocked when Gary Moore walked on stage with a cigarette between his fingers. Back in those days, they did smoke real cigarettes on live shows.
Of course, at 6:28 Gary Moore is sure to emphasize that their guest has been on the football team for 2 years, so clearly he's no fairy or anything. Henry Morgan appeared to be acting like a bit of a prick for this portion of the show as well.
I've always loved Marion Lorne. It wasn't a much of a stretch for her to play 'Aunt Clara' on BEWITCHED. Aunt Clara's doorknob collection actually came from Marion's personal collection.... of doorknobs! She was also a regular cast member of the Wally Cox series MR. PEEPERS, which aired live in the early '50's. She played Mrs. Gurney.
I saw an excerpt of Marion Lorne in a Rosalind Russell movie from the early 1950s where she portrays a befuddled older lady and it was classic! She is even called Aunt Clara in the film. This portrayal was many years before the same character on Bewitched...
I've been watching all the I've got a secret videos on YT and what blows my mind is how modern this show would be even for 2021, their jokes are so fresh, I'd never say the 50s were so cool.
Aunt Clara is so cute and she was my favorite character on the show. She was in the show Bewitched. 😊 She was a great collector of door knobs and she had over 3000 of them. She collected antique items and unique pieces of door knobs from some very famous places around the world. 😊
Yes Elizabeth Montgomery picked up the Emmy on Marion's behalf...apparently she gave a moving speech. Would love if anyone has the footage of Elizabeth's speech?
Marion Lorne endeared herself to the hearts of many audiences with her priceless acting skills. I really enjoyed watching her performance Aunt Clara in Bewitched. But I really need to see if I can find any other shows or movies that she performed in.
I'm a 72 year old Grandma from Indianapolis, Indiana. 35 years ago, I portrayed Santa at The Deaf School here. I learned to use sign language to say, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and I'll try! Because it's VERY IMPORTANT not to promise a child something without their parent's permission!! It was hilarious to hear a couple of children who were somewhat verbal discussing amongst themselves whether I was a lady!!😂😂🎅🏻💝💝💝🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Henry Morgan had some kind of problem in this show. When they introduced him, he rudely kept his head down. After the chorus girl show, everybody clapped except him.
@@dianafrost936 When he was a guest panelist on What’s My Line, he was horrid. He snapped at Bennett Cerf and was extremely rude. He appears to have been a pompous egomaniac.
Alfred Hitchcock LOVED Marion Lorne as the psychopath's mother in the movie Strangers on a Train. Hitch said that she was crazier than her son Bruno the killer.
Me Too ! People worked hard & needed to have some something fun to watch for 1/2 hr. . Before early bed & Early work or commute. Those kind of shyows still appeal to me! Better than Useless endless cellphones & gameiing Just My Opinion
Aunt Clara: "Foot shadow on a tree, Passing candle, come with me, I've a secret, mine not to tell, B-b-but if y - er - you can guess it Th-then it's yours as well! O-o-Oh! Wer- Where'd everyone go?"
I have feeling Henry Morgan would have been canned pretty quickly nowadays. What a downer he is never smilies and as someone pointed out, wouldn’t even clap.
I think you are right. Plus he got mad at Betsy for calling him out as a drunk. She said a joke but then they had to sit opposite after that. He was pissed. His mother was on the show once. She was so sweet. Shame he took after his father.
After watching a bunch of these shows, it seems that Henry rarely (if ever) clapped his hands or smiled much. He looked miserable most of the time. I wonder if he got any enjoyment from being on the show.
I noticed that he was looking down and not applauding when the young men finished their “Daddy” song and dance. There must be a story behind his behavior.
@@stmilo Yes, he does this all the time, even during some really heartwarming "secrets". I am imagining if they would have had cell phones at the time that Henry would be constantly checking it during the show. LOL
I found an episode of “I’ve Got a Secret” from 07/01/63 where Henry Morgan is the host while Gary Moore was on vacation. He is a totally different person, quite personable and all smiles.
The things we try to get people to talk about all those things we are scared to talk about, maybe because the world is so good about showing that they already know it.
The opening with Marion Lorne is perfect. What a jewel...Marion could do befuddlement better than anyone. Priceless.

My grandmother was her twin. And she was just as sweet as Aunt Clara. :)
identical?
in some ways.@@stumack9755
Aww lucky you! I wish everyone could have an aunt like Aunt Clara ❤
“She had a younger brother, Lorne Taylor MacDougal”. So maybe the grandmother was like Ms. Lorne. Not an actual twin.

Marion Lorne is uniquely funny, charming and heartwarming.
So true!!!!
Marion Lorne was perfect as Aunt Clara on Bewitched. RIP.

Marion Lorne is a true beauty of spirit. A talented lovely lady
And Clara will always be remembered. So happy to see this episode
Marion Lorne was an absolutely adorable comedic character 😂❤️
I've never seen her that young
Yes, and she used her love of glass door knobs on the Bewitched show.
Marion Lorne is an American icon. RIP dear lady.
Now it's Betty White.
she is not dead
I absolutely LOVED her on Bewitched! Aunt Clara was my favorite character. And yes, I collect old doorknobs too!
Did you know they were her door knobs and not just props?
That sounds like wonderful objects to collect! They can be so interesting and beautiful.
❤️☺️
@@jaydee5156 Yes she collected them in real life. I don't know if she polished them when she was upset as Aunt Clara did though!

Love love Marian Lorne! Love her on Bewitched!!
I’ll never understand why Henry Morgan was on this show. He was so charmless and miserable.
They paid him a boat load of money or he couldn't get any other job bc he was an a**hole!
A real drip.
Well, i have no idea who he even is, so he must’ve been a ‘one hit wonder’ or something…so he probably was broke and needed the money.
@@jasminebaum9343 I agree 👍. Who was this guy ❓ I suppose I could Google him, but I'm not THAT curious.
That was the point. He was a foil to the other cast members. He was a writer and satirist.
I think everyone who remembers loves the dotty, dizzy, ditzy Marion Lorne!!! She’s everyone’s favorite aunt!
Bess and Betsy are BEAUTIFUL!
I’ve always loved Betsy Palmer’s beauty and class. Her voice absolutely was lilting .

I know, right ✅ ⁉️

Ms. Lorne was precious.
It's sad, Marion died, 10 days before winning an Emmy, for best supporting actress, for her performance in "Bewitched"!
Sadly, Alice Pearce, the original Mrs. Kravitz, also passed away before winning her best supporting actress award for "Bewitched".
Yes Elizabeth Montgomery picked up the Emmy on Marion's behalf...apparently she gave a moving speech. Would love if anyone has the footage of Elizabeth's speech?

Ah....I was wondering if this was before Bewitched. Thank you.
This was such a hoot! ❤
Remarkable man who knows changing his clothes doesn’t change his sex, something this generation could learn.

Passing candle, come with me,
I've a secret, mine not to tell,
B-b-but if y - er - you can guess it
Th-then it's yours as well!
O-o-Oh! Wer- Where'd everyone go?"

I have that song "Daddy" in my music collection! There are several versions. That guy got some serious royalties!
what version is your favorite?
I was thrilled that there was someone else in the world who collected doorknobs‼️
So did they get her secret? Or are they still there today!
Still there lol
I noticed Henry Morgan looked down and did not applaud after the Daddy number.
This guy was very good-looking once the glasses came off
I thought he 2as good looking with them on too!
Paul was HOT :)
Yes i liked the clean cut look of this era,. He should have stripped some more to put on the dress.
Right ✅ ⁉️
She is a treasure.
I can't believe the two Santa Clauses didn't walk away with cartons of cigarettes as parting gifts.
They probably got a year's worth of aspirin, as Winston wasn't the sponsor for this particular edition of the show.
