Clare Nelson, imposter #3 in the Miss Universe segment, was actually a former Miss Pennsylvania and an entrant in the Miss America contest. She was a model by day and a band singer by night, and went on to a brief career as a recording artist (as mentioned at 15:38).
Given what you represented. I find it to be more than a little disingenuous of the producers of the show " To Tell the truth " to include her among the 3 trying to stump the panel for the obvious reason.
Ralph Bellamy didn't quite understand the show nor people, like many of the guest panelists. Asking questions about where hotels are in any city, expecting everyone to know what little tidbit of information that he happens to know, isn't realistic ... and he gets irritated ... amazingly self-centered. Even when voting, he had to make another criticism about the lack of correct information. The show was a marvel in getting folks to think, to ask questions, to analyze. The questions asked were also indicative of the panelists' comprehension, and of course, humor. Thank you for the upload.
Great to see the beauty of a one-piece swimsuit. Like a finely shaped and form fitting Evening Gown....it just adds the Allure and Intrigue, to the wearer's mystic.
In case you're wondering about the answer to Ralph's question at 10:50, the historic Savery Hotel is located at 401 Locust Street in Des Moines, IA. At the time it opened in 1919, it was the only hotel in Iowa with a private bathroom for each hotel room. Famous guests who have stayed there include Elanor Roosevelt and Harry Truman.
6:27 Mary Healy and Ralph Bellamy voted for #2 in the first game because he "knew" which lake the Pope's summer residence Castel Gandolfo was near. He said Garda 4:56 but it's wrong, it's Lake Albano.
Clare Nelson, imposter #3 in the Miss Universe segment, sang on The Lawrence Welk Show in 1959. That segment is posted on TH-cam under "The Lawrence Welk Show - Sometimes I'm Happy."
4:10 Mary Healy:" Inside St Peter's Cathedral in Rome, what is the magnificent statue on the right as you walk in?" I know that! Michelangelo's Pietà. :)
In the final round, did you notice Contestant #1 laughing 23:14 right before the real John Hall was asked to stand up? Right then, I knew the group was $1000 richer!
Regarding the restriction on asking a contestant to say something in a foreign language if he/she was supposed to have a knowledge of that language, Hy Gardner asks the Hungarian bartender what he would call a vodka on the rocks in Hungarian, and he was not called on it. I take it from this that all three contestants really were from Hungary.
technically Ms Morris was Miss Universe 1956 she was crowned the year of 56 and serves the year that follows and it might have been good on the egos for the other girls that the panel they thought they were the crowned one . Imagine you were voted as being more pretty than the girl who actually won. It was nice to see some real shapely ladies too. I fine show this one great when the panel gets it wrong
I thought contestant #3 looked very matronly and I knew it wasn’t her. #2 reminded me a bit of Jackie Kennedy with that wispy voice. Let’s give Carol Morris a lot if credit, too-she has won quite a few beauty pageants and she is still alive at 85!
The panel had a bad time the last two games. Miss Universe #2 was a babe. The actual Miss Universe was from the same town as Radar. Mary Healy is a great substitute for Polly Bergen.
What's great is that Bud Collier never knew who the real person was either. He was just as surprised as every else, except the time his daughter was a contestant.
Me too! I haven't RE-watched these in quite some time. Dang I wish Polly Bergen was back. But honestly? I know she appeared later. There was a show that also had Ronald Reagan in it.
Safari contestant: one of the stupidest questions I have ever heard: "In all of Ohio, what restaturants are named after animals". The contestants were dumbfounded. Wow. I'm surprised that it wasn't Bellamy asking the question, but Mary Healy. I guess she has an excuse. Another, Bellamy: "What is the population of Africa?", maybe he thought it was a country? Then he asked an inane question about how to navigate through Africa. Kitty doesn't vote for someone because of the answers to questions, she votes for the man she would like best to go on safari with. This is typical of Kitty, but she will still get upset when she thinks her questions were answered incorrectly, but will vote according to looks, which is valid, but not when you get upset about the answers to questions. Still, it is an amazing show.
Did anyone catch the name of contestant #3 during the Miss USA round? She said that she was about to record for Epic Records, but I couldn't make out her name.
Clare Nelson. I found six records listed for her, five with Epic and one with MGM Records. Her 1957 Epic recordings of "Moonlight Swim" and "I'm a Big Girl Now" are posted on TH-cam.
Yes, I had #2 spotted right off the bat because she was so poised when standing on the platform. But any one of the three could have been Miss Universe.
@@terrihenricks4160 But No. 2 contestant had rather thick legs! And in those days, actual physical shape was important! However, to my eye, No 2 was definitely the most beautiful girl in the land!
She said she didn't know much Bach but could name some others; she then mentioned Beetoven's Fifth, which even I know. She also didn't know that the Des Moines Register was the leading newspaper in town, so the panel should have been able to eliminate her. She looked like Miss Universe, though.
In 4 years: 30 elephants, 50 buffalo, SCORES of lions , leopards and rhinos all slaughtered for "sport". And that's just the work of one guide. Now all these animals are endangered ; the rhino on the brink of extinction.
The response from this contestant is rather truthful....It was because of 'mis-translation' or interpretation. His response with ..'blonde' would be him trying in his limited English to say--'brown---or, brownish' in color, For that is the color of the Danube as it traverses the City. According to 'urban legends' the Danube hadn't been 'Blue' since the Romans, 1st showed up.

#1 and #2 shook hands at 23:29, since this is back before the high 5.
of all episodes I watched, this is the most entertaining one (all three contestants really fooled the panels and the questioning rounds were cheerful)
And Kitty Carlisle didn't insult anyone --at least that I noticed!

When she appeared on "What's My Line?", she was identified as "Miss Universe of 1956."
I thought contestant #3 looked very matronly and I knew it wasn’t her. #2 reminded me a bit of Jackie Kennedy with that wispy voice. Let’s give Carol Morris a lot if credit, too-she has won quite a few beauty pageants and she is still alive at 85!
Blair Fuller eventually became The Paris Review and wrote another novel after " A Far Place" entitled "Zebina’s Mountain."
Quite a handsome Man, more like a man's-Man built.
Bern Bennett is the show's announcer.
Carol Morris is actually the 1956 Miss Universe. I looked her up and 1957 was Gladys Zender who looks similar to contestant no. 2.
The panel had a bad time the last two games. Miss Universe #2 was a babe. The actual Miss Universe was from the same town as Radar. Mary Healy is a great substitute for Polly Bergen.
In the 3rd game, Kitty got to do two rounds of questions. I never saw that before. What was that all about?
Carol Morris 87 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳
This was back in the time when you were required to be a woman to be in the Miss Universe pageant.
Wikepedia says Carol is still alive and 79yrs old
Yes, 81 years old now.
@@roseb.1537 alive and well at 82.
No , she is soon to turn 86.
Well, if she's 86, i assume she was still alive at 79.
I think that for the second group, they should have thrown Miriam Stevenson(Miss Universe 1954) in there as well!
she was also on what's my line
What's great is that Bud Collier never knew who the real person was either. He was just as surprised as every else, except the time his daughter was a contestant.
His son also appeared as an imposter, as well.
Or the time his brother appeared as a contestant.
I refuse to believe that he didn't know that Henry Morgan was one of the imposters on the episode where the guy was a communist spy
And don't forget his wife's appearance, veiled, as a supposed undercover customs agent. Seems TTTT provided work for the whole Collyer clan.
And his son was once too. Havent seen the daughter.
I miss Polly Bergen. :(
Polly is the best and smartest and most beautiful panelist !!!!

I enjoyed watching Miss Universe with my family....but I don't remember 1957 that clearly. I got 2 of the three games missing Miss U.
They're clapping !!!!
Carol Morris was Miss Universe 1956.... Not 1957. The 1957 pageant wasn't even held until July 19, 1957. Just wanted to set the record straight.
splitting $1000 3 ways is about $3000 a piece in today's money.
tomitstube Thank you, that’s about what I figured, too. 😇 But it’s NOT enough ...
How did this show pay so much, but What's My Line never gave more than $50?
Nope 1000 dollars then in 1956 is 9000 dollars today!
In the Miss Universe round, #2 was asked by Kitty to name a piece of music by Bach written for the viola. Her answer: Beethoven's Fifth. EEEEEEK!
She said she didn't know much Bach but could name some others; she then mentioned Beetoven's Fifth, which even I know. She also didn't know that the Des Moines Register was the leading newspaper in town, so the panel should have been able to eliminate her. She looked like Miss Universe, though.
caught that too. someone who played violin and viola in a symphony would definitely know some bach pieces.

Ghana, formerly the Gold Coast, just became independent in 1957, so it makes sense that Kitty mispronounces it.
