      I had a crush on Amanda Blake for much of my childhood and adolescence. Who can blame me? She convincingly played a character who was a woman ahead of her time. Always beautiful, yet she never used her good looks to get ahead. She asserted herself with an authority that stemmed from her quiet dignity, her self-respect, self-assurance, and courage. She never took any s**t from anyone and as a consequence, she was always accorded total respect even from the toughest of troublemaking toughs, ...well, almost always. And in such rare instances when she found herself facing trouble, there was always Matt Dillon somewhere near at heart and certain shortly to be near at hand, determined to intervene.
      And Matt, well Matt respected Kitty more than anyone on earth.

      @@photo161, you are mixing up Kitty a character with Amanda Blake a person. She was an excellent actress and I am sure some part of her personality was in the way she played the character, but as for the whole person..we in viewerland really do not know these people in their completeness, and never will.
      Did you ever believe O.J. wasn't a nice guy because O.J. the actor and announcer, was a gregarious, friendly guy?
      Knife slasher of any human being..? No, we did not think that.
      Only bigots thought OJ wasn't a nice guy off of the field.
      We really do not know these celeb people.
      Most of them project one image and are like anyone else, much more complex and fallible, like all of us.
      Its a real shame that actors in particular get stereotyped into one kind of role because people cannot see them beyond that role.
      It limits them and cost them more fruitful careers.
      Some are happy all the way to the bank with that, others are not.
      If I was an actor, I would appreciate the fans' love of that character, but would be ticked off, I was not accepted in other roles.
      They are just people, warts and all.
      That is why I do not listen to celebs telling me how to deal with or feel about social issues/politics.
      They are no more an automatic expert on that than an athlete, or listen to their opinions on food, clothing, or other products, goods and services.
      I don't let politicians be my authorities on sports no more than I let athletes be my authorities on public policy.
      See..they are not any wiser. and...
      They are not necessarily who they appear as in front of the public; usually that "NOT" is the case.

      His pay was decent for that era. The shooting schedule was 22 weeks, and he earned $3,000 per week. Adjusted for inflation, $3,000 in 1939 would be $63,000 in 2023.

    They gave the definition of "cursive" as a noun. But that is derived from the original meaning as an adjective: "flowing often with the strokes of successive characters joined and the angles rounded". It is what we used to call long-hand. The first use of the word as an adjective occurred around 1784; as a noun in 1838.
    So "cursive" would indeed be an appropriate antonym clue for "print".

      Yes, I was calling it cursive in school here in California in the late 60s. I was wondering if it became adopted as a term for longhand after ludd and Amanda finished school because the man who said it appeared to be a generation between them and us. Anyway, it's I find it interesting to note the differences in common words and word associations between then and now.

Each classroom I was in ( well not the "Shop" classes or P.E. ) had both the printed and cursive style letters on the wall in a diagram form.
      The fault is that of Ray Bolger and A.L.. The clue was good. The contestant was a College grad who was trying for a Master's degree. I bet he mumbled things all the way home.
      When you are a contestant on a word game show, and neither the Celeb or Host know stuff, it must have been maddening. He lost money because neither A.B. nor R.B. were very good. If he had been there with Paul Anka or Peter Lawford or Mitch Miller, he might have made some $.

    Sadly, the "Closed Captions" option is not working on this episode.
    Allen Ludden (the supposed English Major with a College degree) did not know what "Cursive" was. Neither did the actor R.B.. Amazingly daft people, considering that they both earn their $ by using words. A.L. insults the contestant, because A.L. is ignorant of English words. ugh! At the end of the program A.L. gave some silly definition of the word.
    Cursive simply means Handwriting, versus upper and lowercase print lettering. Each classroom I was in from 1st Grade to H.S. "Language Arts" class had diagrams near the chalkboard of each letter and digit we use. Print and Cursive. Since A.L. had children, I would have thought he had maybe visited his children's school for "Back-to-school night" and saw the "cursive" letters on the wall.
    A.B. was much better as "Miss Kitty" on Gunsmoke than on "Password". Crummy clues hurt the contestants.
