Ginger was so drop dead elegant and chic. She personified everything that was required of a true star.
Ginger Rogers radiates such genuine warmth and gratitude.
There simply isn’t any other woman as lovely n sweet n charming as Arlene Francis
Even as a kid I had such a crush on Arlene
Ginger Rogers was the best of Astaire's film dance partners because she not only was a great dancer, but she could sing and act, both in comedy and drama. Cyd Chairsse was a great dancer but could not sing and her acting was subpar. Rita Hayworth could act but not really sing. Ginger and Fred had a different chemistry (although they did not kiss I think for their first 7 pictures together) and she could sing well and act (she won a Best Actress Oscar later).
It’s been documented Rita Hayworth was Fred Astaire’s favorite dance partner.
Rita Hayworth was the most graceful dancer. She was so beautifully talented🌹
Ginger Rogers seemed so gracious. I love how she bowed to the audience with such style and poise.
Bette davis did as well. They knew there fans
No one could seem more genuinely happy and joyous, than Ginger Rogers does on this episode!
Never knew anything about Ginger Rogers, but I now know she is one class act with a great personality.
tigergreg8 Wow REALLY??? Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers??? One of the best-loved, classiest and significant pairings in 20th century entertainment culture. Together they contributed some of the most iconic cinematic moments of all time. They say Fred gave Ginger class and Ginger gave Fred sex appeal. The other tagline is that Fred was obviously a genius dancer....but Ginger mirrored a lot of what he did, in heels!!
It's all a long time ago but so important.
@@davidsanderson5918 I've got to say, I love your enthusiasm
@@davidsanderson5918 backwards and in heels! 😂
A TRUE .....
MOVIE STAR
miss you so much Ginger
Ginger wanted to be on longer. She's just radiant. She's so happy to be on the show.
Sweet how Ginger Rogers acknowledged the audience. Very few of the celebrities ever did.
Bette davis did as well when on this show
Yes!
Ginger. Absolutely stunning :-)
I still say Ginger Rogers should only have appeared on nights when Bennett Cerf was away!
Agreed. A crass error of judgment. Spoilt all the fun.
Dorothy was the best player and always had a look of dignified victory when she got it right.
LOL!!!! "We finish up with some more bull from Bennett!" WHAT A ZINGER OF A LINE! Good for John Daly!
Those two really went at each other tonight.
So if Bennett Cerf didn’t believe one word of what Ginger Rogers said when she was at his house, he should have disqualified himself.
I have to agree with you. Bennett should have passed on this.
If he had disqualified himself, it would have tipped off the other panelists.
By disqualifying himself, it wouldn't have tipped off anything. They're could be a multitude of reasons why he would disqualify himself
Loved hearing the cat calls that were normal back then, and anyone doing those today are chastised.
I miss the old days, but the world never stays the same, does it?
Oh yeah, the "good old days" when Barry Goldwater was a presidential candidate and game show panelists could make casual jokes about coolies, lol.
no
@@cuidatrava1: Go watch some reality show instead. Maybe all the tats, perversion and idiotic dialogue is more your speed.
@@YowzaBowzaWowza Lol. What a very odd conclusion to jump to. I quite enjoy What's My Line and the kind of class and charm they exude, or else I wouldn't be here. I get the nostalgia too. My point is I wouldn't want to turn back the clock and actually live in pre-civil rights, pre-women's lib, homophobic etc. 1963. We may have lost some of the charm and grace of those days, but what we've gained isn't worth giving up.
That French lady and her dress were knockouts!
Would fit in quite nicely in any New Year's party in 2019!
+Alan Follett
It sounds like we agree!
I think it was very progressive to show women in unusual jobs (mayor, stockbroker etc)
This show (not just this episode, every episode!!) seemed very respectful and educational. Unless I am missing something...??
At 04:07, Dorothy's eyes roll when John provides one of his classic 57 word clarifications.
Dorothy had such a wonderfully expressive face. :)
You and I think of John as speaking a minimum of 57 words. Yet in this same year, a 1963 Dick Van Dyke Show episode opens with Rob and Laura having a fight in the car. He can't understand why she is mad and when he guesses, he gets the silent treatment. Rob pleads with her to answer, saying, "Even John Daly says 'yes' or 'no.'" It is funny but as soon as you think about it you realize how wrong factually it is. John virtually never said only 'yes' or 'no.'' He went on and on, often not being particularly helpful. It is odd that Rob asks a silent person to so at least something not by saying even a very quiet person says a one-word answer, but a very verbose person. A more apt contemporary analogy would have been the then-Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. Mansfield answered his questions with "yup" or "nope" and reporters used to say they needed twice as many questions for an interview with him than any other politician. With Daly, you could ask, "How are you" and you would not be able to get another word in until your time had expired.
@@preppysocks209 Nor with you, I fear.
Bennett Cerf ruins the mystery guest spot every time that Ginger Rogers appears. EVERY TIME! The result is that Ginger is whisked off the set before the viewer has a chance to enjoy her.
Exactly 60 years ago today -- 12/29/2023.
Dorothy's response to Bennett's question around 16:02 cracked me up.
Goodnight! It got me laughing too😂
I know Ginger did a few Dean Martin Roasts in the 1970s but this is the first time I heard her speak, lovely lady.
How in the world did Dorothy know earmuffs.
Yes, she really pulled a rabbit out of the hat.
The What's My Line show should have taken and kept each and every chalkboard that was signed by a star and kept them each time a star sign them. Imagine how much they would be worth today, not to mention that they would have made a great display exhibit.
Some at least were saved. The "board" was actually a frame holding sheets of black posterboard, with a slot at the top that allowed a stagehand behind the set to pull out a used sheet to expose a fresh one behind it. The saved sheets are very collectible and show up from time to time at online auction sites such as Heritage Auctions.
I have always thought that exact same thing.
I saw where a Lucille Ball signature brought $6,700. Apparently, they were cut and sprayed with lacquer. Quite an autograph collection.
Dorothy Kilgallen was so smart!
Definitely Smart! It may have, unfortunately, led to her untimely passing--💐RIP💐
Bennett really loves himself
I wish Bennett had played along a little longer with Ginger Rogers, at least to give the other panelists a sporting chance to guess her identity. Every time Ginger Rogers appeared as mystery guest, Bennett spoiled things by guessing her so quickly.
Dorothy Kilgallen was one smart cookie!How in the world did she figure out earmuffs? No one else on the panel had a clue.
She became "friendly" with this contestant before the episode.
6:35 - beginnings of Dorothy Kilgallen’s big-haired woman of the world stage. She looked great in 1964 and rarely missed a broadcast.
She looks high here to me.
Doesnt look high to me.! Well maybe the Big Hair was a bit high. I thot her makeup, hairstyle, camera angles, lightning Etc all converged in later years to give that beautiful look, to accompany her clever mind!
Thats one very popular stockbroker with her clients, Im sure ! Certainly one worthy of the usual whistles from the guys in the audience. Wow !
It's poignant to hear them wish everyone a happy new year at the end. President Kennedy had just been killed a month earlier and everyone must have longed for a better year and relief from the pall that fell over the country. I remember Tom Hanks saying he could feel the sadness in the adults around him and the first time things really felt lighter with adults smiling again was in February of 1964 when The Beatles first appeared on Ed Sullivan. No wonder the country went nuts for them - people must have longed for something to lighten the weight of those difficult times.
I was around back then, and yes, everyone was starving for something upbeat. That's why even some people who weren't into rock music loved the Beatles.
I rememer this to be true. I was the same age as Tom Hanks in 1963, only 7.
Ever notice how often John Daly would almost give away the "lines" of the contestants? He sure liked to hear the sound of his own voice.
This was the same panel group when sexy Ginger Rogers made her Mystery Guest debut 9 years earlier
Ginger Rogers was a class act!
She certainly was!!!🥰👏🥰👏🥰👏
At 01:55, Bennet exposes his lambdacism (inability or limited ability to pronounce L). Many New Yorkers and British have this handicap. Ira Glass, host of the radio show "This American Life" is one example. He would substitute a very soft W for the L, so he says "This American Wife".
And thus Gilda Radner's lampooning of Barbara Walters ,,,
Thankyou for clarifying that!
Gee, seeing Robert Q Lewis is like seeing a "Shemp" Stooges short.
I thought of him more along the lines of one of the curleys
John cautions guests to not give more info than absolutely necessary, but then he turns around and gives more info than necessary in one of his long screeds. The more I watch these show, the more tired I get of him doing this. He needed to be reminded that he wasn't supposed to be main attraction.
Epitome of class baby, only one Ginger Rogers...Don't make them like her anymore...
Ginger Rogers wanted to stop making musical films and get into serious dramatic roles by 1936, when she was still under contract with RKO. She screen tested for the title role of "Mary of Scotland," a historical costume drama directed by John Ford. Although according to wikipedia, she performed well in the screen test, RKO felt that the role did not suit her image. Instead of the part going to a 3 time MG and the cousin of the wife of one of the panelists, the role went to another RKO contact player, Katharine Hepburn, who never appeared as a MG. Be careful what you wish for. Although "Mary of Scotland" gets ok critical reviews, and I think Hepburn was better suited to play Mary Queen of Scots, the movie was a commercial failure. Because it was Hepburn's second consecutive flop, theater owners labeled her "box office poison," and her career went into a slump that lasted until she was able to get control of her own movie roles and made "The Philadelphia Story." If Ginger Rogers' first serious dramatic role had been a commercial failure, and I suspect in this role it would have been. she might never have been given another chance at RKO to pursue the serious dramatic roles that she began to play a few years later, including winning an Oscar.
This is according to Ginger Rogers' autobiography...she tested for the role of Elizabeth Tudor. The role eventually went to Florence Eldridge, wife of Fredric March, who was the male lead of the movie.
@@johnfd0210 I haven't read Ginger's autobiography. I was relying on wikipedia. In any case, I didn't realize that March played opposite his real life wife, so thanks for that.
@@preppysocks209 Wikipedia itself proclaims that anything on it can be incorrect.
@@RevMarket Wikipedia is highly accurate -- researchers unaffiliated with it have found it to be more accurate than Encyclopedia Britannica (in part because it can rely on Encyclopedia Britannica as well as other sources). Humans are imperfect and so is wikipedia, so most teachers would not allow students to use it as a source in a term paper. On the other hand, autobiographies are also incorrect on many occasions. I don't think Ginger Rogers would have lied about what role she was tested for, but it is possible that many years afterward she had misremembered. In any event, there is no dispute that she wanted to switch to drama from musicals then, that she sought a part in this film, and that if the popular reception to the film had been the same as it was with Hepburn in the title role, with Rogers in either part, Rogers' dramatic film career might have started and ended with the same film.
Bennett Cerf was definitely tipped off! Sadly it happened too often.
Ginger was his cousin by marriage.
Because she was his wife's cousin. I think he should disqualify himself if he knows she's in town. Dorothy is fair and does if she suspects she knows.
If you want to see her acting abilities, see her in “Stage Door”.
Thanks! That is one of the hardest movies to get!
"Resoyution," Bennett? THAT's a pronunciation I'd never heard before, to be sure...
Despite Cerf's heavy accent he seemed to have a speech impediment with pronouncing L's.
He pronounces so many words weird it's unbelieveable. Pit-zah for Pizza was his worst.
I've commented on this many times in other episodes. No doctor or any medical or health professional has been able to name what Bennett had (at least, not on here). It's certainly a disorder where a person jumbles letters or pronounces words oddly or slightly incorrect. I saw this disorder only in one other person. No matter what name or object he was talking about, he would always say it completely different than the general public. There must be a name to this disorder! Someone help!
It drives me crazy. Like his Los Angle-lis. Or how he butchers people's names (that would drive me nuts from such an educated man). He also has what Jonathan Ross has when it comes to R's sounding like W's. He definitely has an impediment but I don't know the name. But it's like he can't seem to wrap his lips around letters. (Don't get me started on his drooling).
Hasn't anyone here ever been taught the old-fashioned formal English diction once common on stage and the lecture platform? In that system, the letter "u" is pronounced "you" rather than "oo" after the consonants d,l,n,s,t,th... So "duty" rhymes exactly with "beauty" instead of "booty", and "lute" with "cute" instead of "coot." I agree that Bennett's mixture of a specific New York dialect with that classic standard comes out sounding very weird, but if "resolyution" is new to you, you haven't been listening to the great actors of previous generations like Olivier and Gielgud very carefully. Listen to Martin Gabel more closely: he makes the formal diction sound natural because of lots of practice, and probably he was adding it to a native accent that wasn't as identifiable as the way Bennett grew up speaking. Folks, before you leap to conclusions and mistaken diagnoses, it's wise to have some historical perspective on how the spoken language has changed over the years.
Gosh I would have just been 5 years old then!
There aren't any rickshaws that I can tell in Phoenix anymore but there are a lot of pedi cabs. Related? I wonder
Dorothy must be more psychic than simply literary. She was so amazing!
. "MLB
She was absolutely brilliant without being haughty like Cerf
Another classy dame
true story two old woman at a bus stop and one say to the other i think fred astaire was the greatest dancer in the world and her friend said no i think ginger rodgers was better as she had to do everything fred did and backwards and wearing high heels 😂😂
@@kevinmarkey9441 a funny line but not true. Ginger didn't lead, and she didn't choreograph the dances.
Nothing better than a classy dame and a cool broad! Sorry feminists! 😁
Bennett should've disqualified himself. He knew the mystery guest was going to be Ginger Rogers before the show even started.
Bennett and John Carles were REALLY sparring tonight!
Enjoyable mystery guests.
What a reception ! (Ginger)
If you look at Ginger Rogers when she first appeared on WML in 1957 and then look at her when she appeared in 1962 and on this 1963 segment, she literally got prettier and prettier as she grew older. Not a lot of people can say that. She is stunning in both her 1962 and 1963 appearances on this show and she was in her 50s at these times.
I just seen her on here from 1954... (Kimmy Hawk)
@Gretchen: I agree. Ginger Rogers does look prettier as she ages. I was thinking the same thing.
Hairstyles and fashion in the late 1950s and early 1960s transformed women and took years off them. Ginger remained stunning until age and illness caught up with her. She really was a beautiful star.
I completely agree. She looks prettier than in 1954
Ginger was a cousin of Bennett Cerf’s wife !
Randy Kirkland Oh yeah. He gets her every time she's on and each time we get a bit of family goss!! :)
*_MAKES EAR MUFFS_*

Bennett's asking Ginger Rogers, "Do I have a lock of your hair?" is a question similar to what Dorothy is capable of asking, e.g., "Did you lose your address book in Greece?" or "Did I see you in Harry's Bar?". It doesn't fall nearly as flat when the answer is "Yes", does it?
Bennett always knew when his wife's cousin was on, even without being told. He was looking for confirmation, not to obtain private information at the expense of fellow panelists. I wish at least once they had Ginger on when Bennett was away.
The host here can be very misleading. . .and gives away extra information.
I think Dorothy was cute especially with the more flattering hair styles. I liked her giggle and the way she looked sideways when questioning . I felt sorry for her for how she felt inferior for her looks. I read that. The men never teased or complimented her or given the attention Arlene always got.
Dorothy was sweet but sharply intelligent lady while Arlene was charming with ready wit. Most unfortunately one will look at her and so much accustomed with her presence but never notice her except when she is absent. But Arlene's radiating persona was so charming that men will immediately notice it whether she is present or absent. I suppose that is the reason. However I like and adore them both. Arlene was like radiating sun while Dorothy was like charming moon. Both were indispensable parts of this panel.
@@lopa2828 That is an excellent portrayal of each. I applaud your similes as well as your observations.
Does anyone know if they rotated the audience when they shot two shows in a night, or did the same people get to see both (lucky them)?
That I don't know but I do know they had about 2 hours between taping and live so it would be possible to switch the audience easily. That 2 hours allowed the panel and staff to have dinner and the ladies to change clothes.
At least: Bennet didn't get Ginger himself! But of course, he brougth up the main clue. She looks marvelous as always!
But I must say, for though I usually dislike Robert Q. Lewis, he was quite good in his rephrasing his question after John Daly makes his usual limitations on the second contestant. He has his moments.
Must have been irritating to the producers that Bennett always knew when Ginger Rogers was in town. Too bad Wanda Cowley was not Phyllis’s favorite cousin. Whether or not she is, as Bennett observed, one of the greatest people in the world, she has great taste in clothes. She looks every inch a diva.
I wonder what happened to the Jamaican movie contract, since she was available a few years later for Cinderella and then Hello Dolly.
RE: Arizona rickshaw driver - In 17 years of Sunday Night WML, this is the exact only time that my alma-mater Brigham Young University got mentioned in the program. In connection with a prospective Arizona freshman, yet. Of the half dozen Utahans who appeared on CBS-WML, none were associated with higher learning.
Curious, as Utah has the most college graduates per capita of any state in the US.
She was about 60 and she looked like a million bucks
51 at this point
Dorothy was a DRIP 🤪
Sad that Lewis felt it necessary to feign more than social interest in female guests.
Alright can we talk about why Bennett had a lock of Ginger’s hair💀💀
They were cousins. Bennett's wife and Ginger Rogers were first cousins.
Wait points were made 💀
I love Bennett's 'reso'utions'
There is a faint L sound, but most of us don't notice it because we aren't expecting the Y glide that turns the 'u' from OO to YOU. The same New York dialect effect turns columnists into 'colyumnists" for example.
I thought for sure Robert Q. was going to kiss the hand of that lady stockbroker!
Coming so soon after that terrible day in the November of that year, one wonders if Bennett is introducing John Daly or the upcoming Warren Commission
Daley looks annoyed a little in this episode..
One snip of the last contestants dress...and all fall down!
The first guest appears to have been the first regular guest ever to donate his prize to charity. The amount was not huge, and I don't fault any regular guest for keeping the money. But it was a wonderful gesture for him to be so unselfish.
I’ve watched the shows from the mid-50’s through 1963, and have seen at least 3 or 4 guests ask to have their prize money given to a specific charitable organization.
I've seen every one available through this date, and I've seen at least 10 contribute their winnings , but it's usually the famous and wealthy that do it
Christown Mall is still open in Phoenix.
Ginger was a total has-been in 1963.
Why did Jon keep saying "it's 1963" I think I heard it at least three times.
I didn't get that either! He must have said it a half dozen times, as if trying to make a running gag out of it, but he really didn't get any laughs out of it, did he. ;) Clearly it has something to do with this being the last broadcast for the year, but I don't get it, and neither (apparently) did the audience! Anyone out there understand what this was about?
I suppose he was joking on Bennett's introduction about resolving to forgive him for leading them astray. Since it was still 1963, he could go on leading them astray. Or something like that...as you said, it didn't go over so well.
Reluctant Dragon Oh, yes, that makes sense. . . and it reminds of enough times I've found myself repeating a failed joke hoping it will get funnier with the repetition. :)
It was December. The year was almost over.
I thought maybe it was not heard on the broadcast but for later reference... Could that be possible? It almost sounded a bit creepy...
dorothy's demeanor is interesting, merely 5 weeks after kennedy's assassination she seems perturbed by the light heartedness and frivolity around her. she would write several columns on the assassination and famously denounce the warren commissions findings some 8 months later and would be dead 2 years later. i don't buy into the conspiracy theory's dorothy was murdered but like most of the country she did seem to lose her innocence and saw things thru much more critical eyes. the country was about to go thru some radical changes at this point.
tomitstube Have you watched Mark Shaw's interviews and lectures?
@@davidsanderson5918It always amazes me that people who don't believe a conspiracy exists, can't just leave it at that, they have to demand that nobody else should ever question fishy circumstances. For instance, the ones Mark Shaw brings up
Do ear muffs have moving parts. I know that you can manipulate it, but I don't think any of the parts themselves move.
Well, "moving parts" doesn't mean the parts have to move on their own, though. E.g., a fork has no moving parts, but a Swiss army knife does. I figured this referred to earmuffs being adjustable to fit different sized heads.
Ginger Roger's was a phenomenal dancer
Very, very interesting mutterings from Dorothy in reagards to the self-procaimed "ex-Mrs" Stockbroker at 21:19. Dorothy's insistance on referring to her as 'madame' is perhaps indicitative of her Catholic upbringing.
And Q's atrocious French :)
Finally, a contestant from Phoenix. The rickshaw guy worked at Christown Mall. Phoenix's first indoor and air conditioned mall. I used to go there in the early '70s when my sister lived across the street. Amazingly, it still functions as an indoor mall, in part, while every other mall of my youth is history.
UNTILL HER HEALTH FAILED HER, GINGER ROGERS MAINTAINED ALL HER BEAUTIFUL LOOKS....
Yes and we Americans with our bulging slacks and rock and roll hamburgers had sex many times with lady and the protruding breastses.
I think it’s a reference to the Wild & Crazy Guys skit on Saturday Night Live, with Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd.
Funny - ha! At the end, he said it's "hard to believe" but that she (the contestant) was a stockbroker. Ah, that's 1963 for ya!
So true. I was a stockbroker for over 20 years and we had other women brokers in the office, It was still uncommon when I started in 1983, but it was becoming more and more common as time went on.
That was the year ex- NYC model and new Barnard graduate Martha Stewart started on Wall Street.
Something kin the bottom of my gut tells me Ginger Rogers has a terrible temper .Its my training in psychology is telling me that .
Robert Q. Lewis was way overstepping his boundaries with the final contestant. It's a miracle she didn't tell him to stfu
It may come as a surprise to many, but Robert Q. Lewis was in fact Clarke Kent's alter ego.
Earlier in the day, I watched as a 10-year old boy the Chicago Bears beat the NY Giants 14-10 in the NFL Championship game. We had to watch it at my uncle's country club that had an antenna that could receive Milwaukee stations, because the game was blacked out in Chicago where it was played (pre Super Bowl days). I'm surprised John didn't mention the event even though the Giants lost.
First time I've heard "resolution" pronounced as "resoyution"
Ginger Rogers is 54 here. She died at 83.
Shes actually 52, but lets not split hairs......!
@@johnsewell6593 you just did.
Touche' !
What's My Line: Once again, you've deliberately omitted Robert Q. Lewis from the heading. This is inexcusable. I know you don't like him, but you shouldn't allow your personal feelings to prevent you from giving people the information they need. Deplorable.
We can look at a stunningly beautiful and successful woman, thinking her life to be perfect.
Ginger Rogers was married 5 x's and divorced 5 x's (even to the husband she mentions doing films with).
That's just sad. 😔
Well that was weird, Dorothy saying she had a crush on Cerf. As for Rogers - Was she on every year, as a favour to Cerf? She needed the money or publicity? She was so over the top.
I LOVE YOU GINGER!
Bennett should have recused himself and not have ruined the show.
You are correct.
Since he strongly suspected it was Ginger Rogers, he should have formed his questions so as not to give it away.
Robert Q. Lewis real middle name DOES NOT START WITH "Q".
That's the second female stockbroker I've seen lately. Clearly that was considered a fish out of water scenario... In 1963 (as John might put it).
There were at least 2 others. And the panel never guessed their line.
If this was filmed on new years eve... your date of airing is incorrect.
Robert q Lewis said it was new years eve ... there are 31 days in December.
Anyone notice that slit showing just a flash of leg as she shook hands with panel?
I was intrigued by Dorothy's mentioning a "secret crush" on Bennett, especially as he didn't seem to like her much.
Peter Winkler That's the first I've heard of the latter part you mentioned there. I've watched 14 years of episodes and I haven't seen any evidence of thst.
Bennett hated Dorothy after she dies and I think what's my line ends he does an interview and talks about her did care for her much and how she was just very annoying in many ways as well as she was an out casted compared to the rest of the panel.
@@syd8802 This is what Bennett said in the interview for Columbia University's Notable New Yorkers Oral History Project, "
My previous post was truncated. "As for Dorothy--personally she was very nice. All of the cattiness that came out in the column did not show when you met her personally. I hit it off with her too."
Bennett said the same thing about Hal Block. Maybe Bennett was the one with a problem.
I miss the older stars that had real talent and beauty I just dont see it anymore in the new stars.
EX-MRS ?
She no longer identified as "Miss" but was no longer married. She was either widowed or divorced, but more likely divorced.
