This fine actress (Piper Laurie) deserved every Academy Award nomination she received in her career; what a shame she has not received an Oscar as of yet.
Now two months later and I'm watching this program again; and I find Art Linkletter has a most charming presence. I grew up watching him on television in the afternoons, and I especially loved it when he would meet with little school children at the end of the program. He would ask these children different questions, and the joy was in their responses and various justiculations and gyrations that bespoke their charm and innocence. And Mr. Linkletter held to a level of respect, dignity and adornment that will forever live in the hearts of us old TV viewers, like myself.
@@L4sleekoOh yes, those eyes! If you've ever seen the singer Marianne Faithfull, you might agree with me that based on the eyes alone, they could be sisters.
Miss Laurie thought " Carrie" was a parody for most of the movie- thus her over the top performance. When it came time for the scene where she gets pinned to the wall with knives etc, and she saw DePalma was so serious, she realized it wasn't a joke.( this info from Miss Laurie's autobio)
Another outstanding PLAYHOUSE 90 co-starring Piper Laurie is "Days of Wine and Roses," by J.P. Miller. Her co-star in that searing teleplay is Cliff Robertson, and John Frankenheimer directed.
Yes, it was astounding. For me, more powerful than the feature film. Raw, searing, real. I think it was aired on PBS and soon after that I got to meet her and tell her how incredible I thought she was in it. She was very pleased. Nice, nice lady.
All I had to hear was 'and now live from New York' and I begged my parents to let me stay up to watch these shows. Sunday night meant WML and another favorite of mine, Candid Camera.
I've been a fan of Piper Laurie ever since seeing her in the original run of the 1976 film "Carrie", which is my all time favorite film. This was fun! Thanks for posting.
One of my favorite vehicles for Piper Laurie and her work in it was the short-lived TV show "Skag" where she starred as the wife of Karl Malden. Alas, it only had a pilot (TV movie length), 5 aired episodes and one unaired episode. It received critical acclaim but the ratings tanked and that was it.
I took issue with two of the answers for the second challenger's segment. They were related to the same fact. While the practice is outdated because of the advent of sports drinks, when I played HS sports from 1966-70, big jars of salt tablets, a tub of water and a ladle were standard fare. (Gatorade only began to be commercially marketed in 1969, it was still considered experimental and the taste of the early versions was nasty.) Mr. Hale's company, Morton Salt, made those salt tablets. So there should have been a yes answer to "Is it related to athletics?" and "Does it come in a pill or tablet?"
Piper Laurie was so wonderful in "The Hustler"- she blew me away when I saw the movie; so glad she got a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her work in the film.
I was 11 or 12 when that picture came out. I saw it then and I've watched it at least a dozen times since. Piper Laurie was fantastic as was everyone - Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason and George C Scott. What a great film..
@@blex5579it is amazing to me in this day and age that people will not only think anti-Semitic thoughts but will publicly express them. Start being an American and treat people as individuals and not members of groups.
Interesting to see Art Linkletter in other than his usual element (w/kids saying the darndest things). Despite a successful marriage (75 years) and career, he had much tragedy in his life, with the untimely deaths of several of his children
@@allenjones3130 She jumped out of her sixth floor kitchen window. Art insisted that LSD had a role to play in her death but her toxicology report was clean. Doesn't mean there wasn't lingering effects or repeated use damage that caused her to jump. Art also lost two sons, one to a car accident and one to lymphoma. He and his wife outlived three of their five children.
@@andreaplummer3841: She did not jump out of a window. She was pushed. And the last person to see her alive was also the last person to see Carol Wayne alive. Not a coincidence.
Piper Laurie is STILL ALIVE as of July 14th 2020 and is 88 years old. She was nominated for an Oscar for "The Hustler" but shockingly it did not gin up her movie game. She went 15 years before making another feature "Carrie" in 1976 in which was again nominated for an Academy Award. She is so lovely here. 💗💗💗💗💗💗
And still here as of September 2023. She has said, all of her follow-up offers were only variations of her Hustler character, so she declined. The same thing happened to Gloria Swanson after Sunset Boulevard.
I'd never seen Art Linkletter on the panel before. He's funny because he's so proud of his questions and he almost always gets a "no"! Also, the stunt parachutist played a good game and was very cool. I like when Art proclaims, "I know what you do!" she replies with a slightly wry, "DO you?".
Jolar70 Art Linkletter appeared on the WML panel a total of 9 times in the 50s & 60s, I think, and this was actually his 4th panel appearance of 1961. It was also the _first_ time he ever completely guessed a contestant's occupation, and I love his delighted/relieved rejoicing over finally getting one right, beginning here at about 8:34! :)
Art Linkletter really guessed well. He was a great intervirwer all around and those skills helped. Also I think John should have run for office with all those non answer answers. And finally, who names their child Piper??
Her real name is Rosetta Jacobs. The film studio changed her name to Piper Laurie, because they thought her actual name sounded "too Jewish." She doesn't like the screen name either and still goes by her birth name in her private life.
She broke into movies while under contract to Universal. That studio specialized in changing actors' names in the 1950s. Rock Hudson, Tony Curtis and Piper Laurie all were pseudonyms...
If we're talking about "annoying," we can start and end with Bennett. For a supposedly worldly guy, he has mispronounced places and names time and again during the run of this show. Tonight it was "Los Angullese." What a phony he was.
@@Walterwhiterocks A lot of Hollywood people back then would pronounce certain words weirdly. They'd do this in an attempt to appear high brow, while to us it sounds awfully silly xD
@@Walterwhiterocks I do not believe Bennett was a phony, though he knew how to promote his writers and their books and be tactful about people's frailties. However, if you watch how he moves his mouth and listen to him throughout the entirety of the 17 years, I believe he perhaps had a speech impediment or hearing deficit because he pronounced the simplest vowels incorrectly all the time in common English words. It was not merely the NYC habit of saying Leonard Bernsteen, when composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein called himself the Germanic Bernstine pronunciation. It was a lot of truly odd things. And, back in the day, it was way more common for easterners to call L.A. by what now sounds to us like that odd name he used for it. Further, this was complicated by the fact that anyone who knew any Spanish would be confused because many American locales with Spanish names are not actually pronounced correctly in their common usage or they are nonsensical when translated or they are grammatically incorrectly in some way. He was an only child, whose financially well-heeled mother died when he was in elementary school, so he may not have had a lot of diction/speech correction at home if his father was busy being successful. And he went to public school near Columbia Univ. with the likes of Richard Rodgers, so maybe the gifted kids there were not often corrected by teachers. He was kind and loyal to all his friends. And even in the case of Dorothy, who owed him a book for which he'd given her a large advance in the early 1960s, he was never unkind in his follow-ups to get the way past deadline work of fiction published. He never got the book and lost all that money when she died or was murdered. He did not like her nasty gossip column, but he knew she was a person in trouble. But if you listen to him carefully you will hear how he either lisps after a fashion or is just not hearing sounds correctly. And I am not referring to the fact that no one on that show could hear anything correctly because the studio was a jerry-built room made into a makeshift studio with hideous acoustics and lots of noise from the other activities in rooms around it because it was not a properly equipped studio. To me he has the almost goofy, awkward behaviors of someone who had no siblings or mother to refine him a bit and added to that had the good fortune to make it big early on, so he did not have professional struggles from the ground level up to get where he got, thus did not have coworkers or bosses helping to form him. He's awkward, eccentric, odd, but not a phony.
@@philippapay4352 Thank you for the additional biographical information on Cerf. Some of your conjectures as to why he is what he is may have merit, but the fact remains that he tried to come off as a sophisticated, worldly, individual - which he clearly, IMO was not. In that sense he was a pompous, role-playing individual. If you object to the adjective "phony," I'll withdraw it, though reluctantly. Be well.
@@Walterwhiterocks You need not withdraw your chosen terminology. However, where you are wrong is that he was highly educated, extremely well-travelled (as evidenced by the descriptions on the show each week as to where he'd been or was going), he was extraordinarily well-read and often friends with people of exceptional talent, like Moss Hart, Eugene O'Neill, and other writers, composers, scientists, etc. He could hold his own on almost any topic. He had a sweet nature and was loyal to those in his realm. He was worldly and sophisticated. He knew more of most of the world than many of us ever will and was sophisticated enough, not unlike the poet-plowman Bobby Burns, to be welcome in the courts of kings and comfortable talking with contestants after the show and learning every little thing he could from them about their work and their hometown. He had a genuine thirst for knowledge and a love of the written word. He had all the sophisticated qualities with perhaps a bit of an unrefined edge in presentation of himself due to his odd language usage, habits. My father once said, when he was entertaining Japanese Naval officers in our home as part of his work as a Naval officer, that true sophistication was being comfortable with anyone anytime anywhere. That requires a lot of living and a lot of knowledge of people, places and things. Bennett had all of that, I believe, just in a rather odd package at times. He didn't have to try to come off as anything. Goodson and Todman chose him for the catbird seat on the panel because he was such a man of the world who knew everyone and was well respected. I return to you the kind words that you be well.
I fell in love with Piper Laurie in The Hustler. She is an amazing woman. And so beautiful too. And a beautiful figure as well, even though she has that big dress on. You can see what an athletic figure she has, yet very feminine at the same time. And that unique strong female voice she has. Man, they sure don't make women like her anymore, even though she was a little before my time. Well, I was actually just borne the very year The hustler came out in 1961.
Some of those answers on salt were off. Maybe that’s why they lost the scent even though she said it much earlier. How times have changed, losing important key minerals like salt is important today. Not then. And certainly not considered sweet.
For a supposedly educated man Bennett Cerf comes across as not too bright at times. The fact that he was surprised to learn that salt is a mineral strikes me as unusual.
It's been a few episodes now that WML has opened with the words "live from New York". Some have conjectured that this was because so many episodes over the summer had been pre-recorded. But I also wonder if this was because the infrastructure was now in place that all the network and affiliated stations around the country could air the show live and didn't have to show it later in the week or the following Sunday.
@@igkoigko9950 It's a matter of expense. As long as there are some stations that are not able to air the show live, then two kinescopes of the show would be needed: one with the "Live from New York" tag line and one with a "Prerecorded" tag line.
One of the greatest American actresses of her time, the wonderful Piper Laurie, will be missed by movie fans and television fans for many years to come. She did extraordinary and very versatile work on both the silver screen on TV and on the stage. She deserved every Oscar she was nominated for, and was robbed every time. R.I.P PIPER LAURIE 1932 - 2023 ❤❤ Here a recent and very candid, in-depth interview with Ms. Laurie about her life and extraordinary life: th-cam.com/video/w6HaOYxm4Aw/w-d-xo.html
Some years ago, I had a retired actor as a client. He had an uncredited role in "The Hustler". Some years he would have a W-2 reporting the residuals he earned for the role. It might be $1.78 one year, $3.15 another year; never much more than $5. Jackie Gleason had been deceased for many years, but Paul Newman was still alive and as of this writing Piper Laurie is still with us. It was such a popular movie, and if that's what a bit player in the movie (albeit one with a role that advanced the plot) could earn over 40 years later, I can only imagine how much Laurie and Newman were still receiving.
Surprises me that residuals (after the year the work was done) are W2 and not 1099, making it active not passive income, subject to employment taxes. Are you sure?
@@igkoigko9950 First of all, whether the income is reported on a W-2 or a 1099-MISC (or starting in 2020, a 1099-NEC), it is still active income, not passive. Self-employment income is considered earned income, the same as wages and salaries are earned income. And yes, I'm sure. I did this actor's taxes for many years. I saw the W-2 forms for his residuals from "The Hustler". He wasn't self-employed when he made the movie and earned wages at that time. The residual income stream would be treated the same way. 20th Century Fox must be residuals to thousands of actors each year. They aren't a fly by night outfit. I have to think that they know what they are doing, especially when it is consistent with everything else I know about tax law, having prepared income tax returns since the late 1980's and having passed the Taxation module for the Certified Financial Planning designation some years ago (when the test was still given in six different modules.
@@loissimmons6558 Thank Lois for the time and effort in the detailed response. Intuitively the thought of residuals being taxed as wage earned income offends me. Actors get as bad a deal as hedge fund or LBO partners get as good a deal , like the carried interest fiction, but that’s another story. Research taught me that residuals can be, as you wrote, W2 earned income or 1099 (NEC or misc) as I was expecting depending on contracts, who is paying (IP rights owner versus SAG or other collective) and other factors. TT has a good article pasted below. Thanks again and be well. Your W-2 form will report wages from services you performed, whereas residuals come from the sale or use of artistic endeavors you participated in. Typically, as an artist you receive wages to perform and are paid based on a flat fee or hourly rate. Then, if that performance is recorded and sold, you would get paid not for a service you are providing to the individual who purchased or rented the recorded performance, but as a passive owner of that work of art. Your residual income would not likely be reported on your W-2 form, but it may be reported on a form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC.If it was reported on any one of these forms, you would look for that form entry in the Wages and Expenses section of TurboTax, by looking for the form number or description of the type of income you are reporting. You do need to report the residual income on your tax return. You need to report the amount listed on your form 1099 as your income, but may deduct expenses associated with it if it is reported on a form 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC in most instances.

A bit of irony in that a few months after this show aired, Piper Laurie married a rival columnist of Dorothy Kilgallen: entertainment writer Joe Morgenstern of the New York Herald Tribune. It has been the only marriage for Ms. Laurie.
I would love to see a compilation of some of the oddly specific questions Dorothy asked the mystery guests, such as "Do you own property in Switzerland?"
she thinks she is very clever and secretive, so that only she would know. Others are supposed to ask questions that would help her and the other panelists, but so many questions of hers are specifically designed not to help out the other panelists. Almost never are the answers to such questions "yes." Poor marks for "works and plays well with others."
Martin Grams! I actually met you in Cincinnati. . . if you remember the guy who did the B&A presentation and talked to you about the "No Time At All" Playhouse 90. :) I so wish I could make that one. Maybe next year! Nice to see you on here.
Also, feel free to post a link here to the website if you want-- though I will likely have to approve it as "not spam", since TH-cam mysteriously marked even your first comment as spam initially.
Arlene! Piper Laurie‘s performance was not a lovely performance in the Hustler. It was an outstanding performance and it holds up today; she wiped Paul Newman and even George C Scott off the screen, IMHO.
Yes, he uses the hard g. I am from Southern California and remember a controversy about the pronunciation of the city. The official pronunciation uses the soft g as in Loss Anjeless.
No, THREE-TIME ACADEMY AWARDS nominee. The great Piper Laurie was also nominated a 3rd time in 1987 for her performance in "Children Of A Lesser God". However she she should have been nominated AND WON an Oscar for her unforgettable role in the wonderful movie "The Grass Harp" in 1995. If you haven't seen it, do look it up
Do the panel seem a bit... inebriated this week? :-) Regardless, fun show. I can't believe Dorothy said "salt" and never asked about it! Piper Laurie... 30 years later she'd be appearing in one of my favorite shows, Twin Peaks. It's rather amusing when Daly suddenly realizes he can't say "my tail" on 60s TV... nice save! :-)
I'm behind in watching the shows myself, but I had to give a quick second to the trumpeting of Piper Laurie on "Twin Peaks", which was my first exposure to her as well. Powerful actress.
Reluctant Dragon Since this show is presented at 10:30 at night I suspect the panel regularly had dinner and drinks before the show (not necessarily with each other) and I'm betting at times they probably had a couple of more drinks than they should have. ;)
I love Piper Laurie....... So sad she died today on October 14, 2023 at age 91......... She quit Universal studios being under contract for some 4 years. With all the lousy roles she was getting, she left for New York in 1954/55 to work on the stage and in live television and returned to films only when offered a great role in THE HUSTLER in 1961 for which she recived an Oscar Nomination; she then went on to further Oscar Nominations for CARRIE in the 70's and Children of a Lesser God in the mid 80's and had a grand career winning a Golden Globe for TWIN PEAKS (80's) and receiving an Emmy Award as well, never taking on any role that did not have a good, sound screenplay.
I was 8 years old watching Pïper in the Hustler and I felt so attracted YES even at 8 lol but also sorry for her and therefore, I wanted Fast Eddy to sweep her off her feet as I WOULD HAVE BACK THEN, made lots of love to her making babies living happily ever after! Joanne his wife didn`t old a candle to Piper as to humbleness, shyness, being coy, sensitive, introspective, insightful thus overall a deeply rich lady who would have been a perfect match for me IF I had been around her back then ... she is 91 still alive and I am 67 and I would love to sing to Piper as a trained singer.
yep, still around right along side mandatory and legalized public segregation and discrimination in every aspect of American society - but it was done with such 'class and manners' that folks like yourself could undoubtedly appreciate it. Perceptive observation.
One "sweet moment", and I say that sarcastically, is when our little erudite-wannabe, Bennett Cerf, did not realize that a mineral can be ingested. For all his worldly knowledge, something as simple as that unknown fact to him took me by surprise. I think I just have a general prejudice against this man because of his moodiness, arrogance and the obvious feeling (to me) that he "deserves" to always be right. Now, who has consistently impressed me, in watching a number of these episodes, are the two women panelists, Dorothy Kilgallen and Arlene Francis. I know that Ms. Kilgallen can also be moody sometimes, and testy, but she and Ms. Francis are the intuitive thinkers. They can figure out what the "contestant" does more often, and usually more quickly, than the other panelists; and if they don't figure it out immediately, they supply enough information as a "set-up kind of thing" for the other panelists to be able to feed off of as a knowledge base, thus allowing the others to then (finally) guess the occupation of the contestant. What I'm saying in essence is, Dorothy Kilgallen and Arlene Francis are smarter than any of the other panelists that have been on that show. This is just a personal opinion coming from an older guy.
The late Piper Laurie. Died, October 2023 at 93. I have 3 movies with her; DANGEROUS MISSION, THE HUSTLER & CARRIE. She also did tv and also live tv in the early 50's ?
Shortly after i started flying lessons ( in a Piper Alpha ) , there was this TV series ( Twin Peaks ) starring another Piper : ms Laurie - enjoyed both events thoroughly 😇
I get the feeling she didn't want to do this but was forced by her managers/agents to promote The Hustler. She was a good sport, but probably would prefer staying home.
This is one of those episodes where Arlene looks so glamourous and her face is so fresh. Other episodes she has dark shadows round her eyes, crows feet and looks tired....as if having suffered stress!! I wish I knew why.
The clothes women wore then were rather form fitting and the women looked good in them. Everyone was so slim and in such good shape. As opposed to these days.
Actually I do that I think from “Year of the Cat” lyrics she always mistakenly comes to mind. It would have been a hoot if she mimicked his voice here.
First of all, so called "Piper Laurie" wasn't her real name. There was nothing wrong with her actual birth name, Rosetta Jacobs. Obviously she "sold out" her birth name because of the shallowness of the entertainment industry?! Most likely the change was made as the result of a greedy Business Manager, with perceived notions of greater recognition accompanied with monetary gains? In reality, it's also shows blatant disrespect for one's parents & their family heritage, just to possibly obtain (not earn) a greater buck?!

She went 15 years before making another feature "Carrie" in 1976 in which was again nominated for an Academy Award.
She is so lovely here. 💗💗💗💗💗💗
And is still with us in late 2022. She is a gem.
And still here as of September 2023.
She has said, all of her follow-up offers were only variations of her Hustler character, so she declined. The same thing happened to Gloria Swanson after Sunset Boulevard.
It has been reported that Piper Laurie died on 14th Oct , 2023 . She was 91 . A very talented actress .
18:29 -- salt has nutritional value. This was little known, I think, in 1961.
I'd never seen Art Linkletter on the panel before. He's funny because he's so proud of his questions and he almost always gets a "no"! Also, the stunt parachutist played a good game and was very cool. I like when Art proclaims, "I know what you do!" she replies with a slightly wry, "DO you?".

I also enjoy his getting in on the arguing. Very into the show, in an engaged and willing kind of way. Adds to the process.
loved Piper's "Betty Boop" type voice.
Piper used the cutest voice and pitch! She had me in stitches, and she was so beautiful!
Art Linkletter really guessed well. He was a great intervirwer all around and those skills helped.
Also I think John should have run for office with all those non answer answers.
And finally, who names their child Piper??
liberty Ann, I love each of your observations. Lol.
Her real name is Rosetta Jacobs. The film studio changed her name to Piper Laurie, because they thought her actual name sounded "too Jewish." She doesn't like the screen name either and still goes by her birth name in her private life.
She broke into movies while under contract to Universal. That studio specialized in changing actors' names in the 1950s. Rock Hudson, Tony Curtis and Piper Laurie all were pseudonyms...
My mom almost named my sister Piper, because she thought it sounded Irish. My Dad thought she was nuts, so they compromised on Colleen instead.
I have never jumped but have been around that a lot. They have boogies around the country were people come together to jump. And wow the parties rock
RIP, Piper Laurie. She just passed at age 91.
1st contestant, stunt lady, is drop dead gorgeous !!
Often, I find the guest panelist to be annoying. But Linkletter is wonderful.
If we're talking about "annoying," we can start and end with Bennett. For a supposedly worldly guy, he has mispronounced places and names time and again during the run of this show. Tonight it was "Los Angullese." What a phony he was.
@@Walterwhiterocks A lot of Hollywood people back then would pronounce certain words weirdly. They'd do this in an attempt to appear high brow, while to us it sounds awfully silly xD
@@Walterwhiterocks I do not believe Bennett was a phony, though he knew how to promote his writers and their books and be tactful about people's frailties. However, if you watch how he moves his mouth and listen to him throughout the entirety of the 17 years, I believe he perhaps had a speech impediment or hearing deficit because he pronounced the simplest vowels incorrectly all the time in common English words. It was not merely the NYC habit of saying Leonard Bernsteen, when composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein called himself the Germanic Bernstine pronunciation. It was a lot of truly odd things. And, back in the day, it was way more common for easterners to call L.A. by what now sounds to us like that odd name he used for it. Further, this was complicated by the fact that anyone who knew any Spanish would be confused because many American locales with Spanish names are not actually pronounced correctly in their common usage or they are nonsensical when translated or they are grammatically incorrectly in some way. He was an only child, whose financially well-heeled mother died when he was in elementary school, so he may not have had a lot of diction/speech correction at home if his father was busy being successful. And he went to public school near Columbia Univ. with the likes of Richard Rodgers, so maybe the gifted kids there were not often corrected by teachers. He was kind and loyal to all his friends. And even in the case of Dorothy, who owed him a book for which he'd given her a large advance in the early 1960s, he was never unkind in his follow-ups to get the way past deadline work of fiction published. He never got the book and lost all that money when she died or was murdered. He did not like her nasty gossip column, but he knew she was a person in trouble. But if you listen to him carefully you will hear how he either lisps after a fashion or is just not hearing sounds correctly. And I am not referring to the fact that no one on that show could hear anything correctly because the studio was a jerry-built room made into a makeshift studio with hideous acoustics and lots of noise from the other activities in rooms around it because it was not a properly equipped studio. To me he has the almost goofy, awkward behaviors of someone who had no siblings or mother to refine him a bit and added to that had the good fortune to make it big early on, so he did not have professional struggles from the ground level up to get where he got, thus did not have coworkers or bosses helping to form him. He's awkward, eccentric, odd, but not a phony.
@@philippapay4352 Thank you for the additional biographical information on Cerf. Some of your conjectures as to why he is what he is may have merit, but the fact remains that he tried to come off as a sophisticated, worldly, individual - which he clearly, IMO was not. In that sense he was a pompous, role-playing individual. If you object to the adjective "phony," I'll withdraw it, though reluctantly. Be well.
@@Walterwhiterocks You need not withdraw your chosen terminology. However, where you are wrong is that he was highly educated, extremely well-travelled (as evidenced by the descriptions on the show each week as to where he'd been or was going), he was extraordinarily well-read and often friends with people of exceptional talent, like Moss Hart, Eugene O'Neill, and other writers, composers, scientists, etc. He could hold his own on almost any topic. He had a sweet nature and was loyal to those in his realm. He was worldly and sophisticated. He knew more of most of the world than many of us ever will and was sophisticated enough, not unlike the poet-plowman Bobby Burns, to be welcome in the courts of kings and comfortable talking with contestants after the show and learning every little thing he could from them about their work and their hometown. He had a genuine thirst for knowledge and a love of the written word. He had all the sophisticated qualities with perhaps a bit of an unrefined edge in presentation of himself due to his odd language usage, habits. My father once said, when he was entertaining Japanese Naval officers in our home as part of his work as a Naval officer, that true sophistication was being comfortable with anyone anytime anywhere. That requires a lot of living and a lot of knowledge of people, places and things. Bennett had all of that, I believe, just in a rather odd package at times. He didn't have to try to come off as anything. Goodson and Todman chose him for the catbird seat on the panel because he was such a man of the world who knew everyone and was well respected. I return to you the kind words that you be well.
I fell in love with Piper Laurie in The Hustler. She is an amazing woman. And so beautiful too. And a beautiful figure as well, even though she has that big dress on. You can see what an athletic figure she has, yet very feminine at the same time. And that unique strong female voice she has. Man, they sure don't make women like her anymore, even though she was a little before my time. Well, I was actually just borne the very year The hustler came out in 1961.
Margaret White from the original "Carrie".
This is fun !
Young Piper Laurie was so gorgeous
I'm shocked...SHOCKED...that the panel did not get the salt man.
Dorothy, you must be so ashamed.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Piper is so adorable ..... and gorgeous!
Omg Arlene Francis is just adorable in every way! 😍😍😍
Art linkletter was wonderful!
Some of those answers on salt were off. Maybe that’s why they lost the scent even though she said it much earlier.
How times have changed, losing important key minerals like salt is important today. Not then. And certainly not considered sweet.
For a supposedly educated man Bennett Cerf comes across as not too bright at times. The fact that he was surprised to learn that salt is a mineral strikes me as unusual.
And he has a straitlaced image but I bet he was pervy .
@@MensAsses33 That wouldnt surprise me.
@@MensAsses33 Don't be so silly.

Wow,piper laurie,the mother of "carrie"
Piper Laurie still alive at 91 years old.
It's been a few episodes now that WML has opened with the words "live from New York". Some have conjectured that this was because so many episodes over the summer had been pre-recorded. But I also wonder if this was because the infrastructure was now in place that all the network and affiliated stations around the country could air the show live and didn't have to show it later in the week or the following Sunday.
Wouldn’t it be more likely to announce “live from N Y” the larger the audience watching in real time?
@@igkoigko9950 It's a matter of expense. As long as there are some stations that are not able to air the show live, then two kinescopes of the show would be needed: one with the "Live from New York" tag line and one with a "Prerecorded" tag line.
One of the greatest American actresses of her time, the wonderful Piper Laurie, will be missed by movie fans and television fans for many years to come. She did extraordinary and very versatile work on both the silver screen on TV and on the stage. She deserved every Oscar she was nominated for, and was robbed every time.
R.I.P PIPER LAURIE 1932 - 2023 ❤❤
Here a recent and very candid, in-depth interview with Ms. Laurie about her life and extraordinary life: th-cam.com/video/w6HaOYxm4Aw/w-d-xo.html
Some years ago, I had a retired actor as a client. He had an uncredited role in "The Hustler". Some years he would have a W-2 reporting the residuals he earned for the role. It might be $1.78 one year, $3.15 another year; never much more than $5. Jackie Gleason had been deceased for many years, but Paul Newman was still alive and as of this writing Piper Laurie is still with us. It was such a popular movie, and if that's what a bit player in the movie (albeit one with a role that advanced the plot) could earn over 40 years later, I can only imagine how much Laurie and Newman were still receiving.
Surprises me that residuals (after the year the work was done) are W2 and not 1099, making it active not passive income, subject to employment taxes. Are you sure?
@@igkoigko9950 First of all, whether the income is reported on a W-2 or a 1099-MISC (or starting in 2020, a 1099-NEC), it is still active income, not passive. Self-employment income is considered earned income, the same as wages and salaries are earned income.
And yes, I'm sure. I did this actor's taxes for many years. I saw the W-2 forms for his residuals from "The Hustler". He wasn't self-employed when he made the movie and earned wages at that time. The residual income stream would be treated the same way.
20th Century Fox must be residuals to thousands of actors each year. They aren't a fly by night outfit. I have to think that they know what they are doing, especially when it is consistent with everything else I know about tax law, having prepared income tax returns since the late 1980's and having passed the Taxation module for the Certified Financial Planning designation some years ago (when the test was still given in six different modules.
@@loissimmons6558 Thank Lois for the time and effort in the detailed response. Intuitively the thought of residuals being taxed as wage earned income offends me. Actors get as bad a deal as hedge fund or LBO partners get as good a deal , like the carried interest fiction, but that’s another story. Research taught me that residuals can be, as you wrote, W2 earned income or 1099 (NEC or misc) as I was expecting depending on contracts, who is paying (IP rights owner versus SAG or other collective) and other factors. TT has a good article pasted below. Thanks again and be well.
Your W-2 form will report wages from services you performed, whereas residuals come from the sale or use of artistic endeavors you participated in.
Typically, as an artist you receive wages to perform and are paid based on a flat fee or hourly rate. Then, if that performance is recorded and sold, you would get paid not for a service you are providing to the individual who purchased or rented the recorded performance, but as a passive owner of that work of art.
Your residual income would not likely be reported on your W-2 form, but it may be reported on a form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC.If it was reported on any one of these forms, you would look for that form entry in the Wages and Expenses section of TurboTax, by looking for the form number or description of the type of income you are reporting. You do need to report the residual income on your tax return.
You need to report the amount listed on your form 1099 as your income, but may deduct expenses associated with it if it is reported on a form 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC in most instances.

@@igkoigko9950 Lois Simmons is a bona fide expert on many subjects.
@@igkoigko9950 And if you don't believe it, just ask her.
I loved Ms. Laurie's fake voice.
A bit of irony in that a few months after this show aired, Piper Laurie married a rival columnist of Dorothy Kilgallen: entertainment writer Joe Morgenstern of the New York Herald Tribune. It has been the only marriage for Ms. Laurie.
Hard to believe that that is Mrs. White!
My husband took pottery classes in North Hollywood and Piper Laurie was a fellow classmate about 10 years ago when we lived in Los Angeles.
Rest in peace Ms.Laurie
Art Linkletter was about the best MC ever!
Rest in Peace, Piper Laurie. An amazing actress and woman. The Hustler will always be one of my favorite movies.
I will watch anything Piper Laurie is in. She is currently 87 yrs old an optioned for a picture named Lets Get Lost playing Pearl
have you seen Snapshots 2018 newish movie, prominent role, still going strong.
ELLE P No I have not but I will look for it this weekend. Thanks for letting me know
Well that was long before Twin Peaks 😃
I would love to see a compilation of some of the oddly specific questions Dorothy asked the mystery guests, such as "Do you own property in Switzerland?"
she thinks she is very clever and secretive, so that only she would know. Others are supposed to ask questions that would help her and the other panelists, but so many questions of hers are specifically designed not to help out the other panelists. Almost never are the answers to such questions "yes." Poor marks for "works and plays well with others."
@@preppysocks209 a well known Dorothy hater right here folks. This bag hates Dorothy. Hmm.
Piper, in disguise, sounds like an adorable child.
Piper Laurie had the best Mystery Challenger voice on this program.
She was unforgettable as the fanatical Christian mother in "Carrie."
The most polysyllabic panel moderator John Daly!
Art Linkletter is so serious about holding the salt in your hand, he forgot that we have salt shakers, Lol!
Not chefs, lol!
Looking forward to seeing Piper Laurie at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in September!
Martin Grams! I actually met you in Cincinnati. . . if you remember the guy who did the B&A presentation and talked to you about the "No Time At All" Playhouse 90. :) I so wish I could make that one. Maybe next year! Nice to see you on here.
What's My Line? Just got on here and enjoying some of the rare clips.

Piper's 28 or 29 here.
My 8th birthday. However, I'm no longer 8.
Piper Laurie died yesterday 10/14/23 She was 91.
Arlene! Piper Laurie‘s performance was not a lovely performance in the Hustler. It was an outstanding performance and it holds up today; she wiped Paul Newman and even George C Scott off the screen, IMHO.
Paul Newman dominated the movie. The stand out performance.
What an amazing and complex and sultry performance she gave in the hustler.
SUCH a RELAXING, PRETTY Voice!☺️
And SO, PRETTY !.
😊
"They're all gonna laugh at you".......I just want to see how may people know this line from a certain movie.
Carrie.
"It's not red mama it's pink"
Oh, of course lol It's probably her most famous. She did such a great job in that movie.
I’m ashamed to say, prior to Carrie I had no idea who she was.
Loved her in Carrie! She was also great in The Thorn Birds.
Cerf says, "Los Angle-eze!"
Yes, he uses the hard g. I am from Southern California and remember a controversy about the pronunciation of the city. The official pronunciation uses the soft g as in Loss Anjeless.
to me, the first contestant resembles Jane Pauley
Dorothy looks so cute in this episode. Great heels.
The parachutist contestant did have a muscular athletic build I thought.
Two-Time Oscar Nominee (Best Actress-THE HUSTLER-1961) & (Best Supporting Actress-CARRIE-1976) Piper Laurie. ☺
should have won for The Hustler- she was magnificent, her and Newman both
@@michaelnivens6267 Yes she was. What a film.
3- time oscar nominee: the hustler, carrie, children of a lesser God.
No, THREE-TIME ACADEMY AWARDS nominee. The great Piper Laurie was also nominated a 3rd time in 1987 for her performance in "Children Of A Lesser God". However she she should have been nominated AND WON an Oscar for her unforgettable role in the wonderful movie "The Grass Harp" in 1995. If you haven't seen it, do look it up
RIP Laurie.
I love Piper Laurie.
I loved her in the Thorn Birds
Happily, Dr. Piper Laurie is still with us.
Do the panel seem a bit... inebriated this week? :-) Regardless, fun show. I can't believe Dorothy said "salt" and never asked about it!
Piper Laurie... 30 years later she'd be appearing in one of my favorite shows, Twin Peaks.
It's rather amusing when Daly suddenly realizes he can't say "my tail" on 60s TV... nice save! :-)
I'm behind in watching the shows myself, but I had to give a quick second to the trumpeting of Piper Laurie on "Twin Peaks", which was my first exposure to her as well. Powerful actress.
Reluctant Dragon Since this show is presented at 10:30 at night I suspect the panel regularly had dinner and drinks before the show (not necessarily with each other) and I'm betting at times they probably had a couple of more drinks than they should have. ;)
I believe Piper Laurie took a long hiatus and the first movie she made after her hiatus was'' Carrie''. She played Carrie's (Sissy Spacek) mother.
Jeff Vaughn At least one of them did.....
I love Piper Laurie....... So sad she died today on October 14, 2023 at age 91......... She quit Universal studios being under contract for some 4 years. With all the lousy roles she was getting, she left for New York in 1954/55 to work on the stage and in live television and returned to films only when offered a great role in THE HUSTLER in 1961 for which she recived an Oscar Nomination; she then went on to further Oscar Nominations for CARRIE in the 70's and Children of a Lesser God in the mid 80's and had a grand career winning a Golden Globe for TWIN PEAKS (80's) and receiving an Emmy Award as well, never taking on any role that did not have a good, sound screenplay.
Wow Piper was sure different in Carrie as the Mom.
Rip Piper Laurie Oct 2023
Piper... Sissy's mom in Carrie
joe smith yes
She was also great in the Hustler with Paul Newman. Came out the same year as this clip.
MrAitraining really wow that was before carrie carrie came out in the early 80s right?
@@angeljohnson6665 Carrie was 1976. The Hustler was 1961.
MrAitraining oh ok thank you
Piper is simply ADORABLE! A great and talented actress! Also, the days when class and manners were still around!😎
I was 8 years old watching Pïper in the Hustler and I felt so attracted YES even at 8 lol but also sorry for her and therefore, I wanted Fast Eddy to sweep her off her feet as I WOULD HAVE BACK THEN, made lots of love to her making babies living happily ever after! Joanne his wife didn`t old a candle to Piper as to humbleness, shyness, being coy, sensitive, introspective, insightful thus overall a deeply rich lady who would have been a perfect match for me IF I had been around her back then ... she is 91 still alive and I am 67 and I would love to sing to Piper as a trained singer.
yep, still around right along side mandatory and legalized public segregation and discrimination in every aspect of American society - but it was done with such 'class and manners' that folks like yourself could undoubtedly appreciate it. Perceptive observation.

Daly's Callipygian Club approves of Mrs. Abrasive (Cerf''s pronunciation).
One "sweet moment", and I say that sarcastically, is when our little erudite-wannabe, Bennett Cerf, did not realize that a mineral can be ingested. For all his worldly knowledge, something as simple as that unknown fact to him took me by surprise. I think I just have a general prejudice against this man because of his moodiness, arrogance and the obvious feeling (to me) that he "deserves" to always be right. Now, who has consistently impressed me, in watching a number of these episodes, are the two women panelists, Dorothy Kilgallen and Arlene Francis. I know that Ms. Kilgallen can also be moody sometimes, and testy, but she and Ms. Francis are the intuitive thinkers. They can figure out what the "contestant" does more often, and usually more quickly, than the other panelists; and if they don't figure it out immediately, they supply enough information as a "set-up kind of thing" for the other panelists to be able to feed off of as a knowledge base, thus allowing the others to then (finally) guess the occupation of the contestant. What I'm saying in essence is, Dorothy Kilgallen and Arlene Francis are smarter than any of the other panelists that have been on that show. This is just a personal opinion coming from an older guy.
The late Piper Laurie. Died, October 2023 at 93. I have 3 movies with her; DANGEROUS MISSION, THE HUSTLER & CARRIE. She also did tv and also live tv in the early 50's ?
Shortly after i started flying lessons ( in a Piper Alpha ) , there was this TV series ( Twin Peaks ) starring another Piper : ms Laurie - enjoyed both events thoroughly 😇
I get the feeling she didn't want to do this but was forced by her managers/agents to promote The Hustler. She was a good sport, but probably would prefer staying home.
This is one of those episodes where Arlene looks so glamourous and her face is so fresh. Other episodes she has dark shadows round her eyes, crows feet and looks tired....as if having suffered stress!! I wish I knew why.
maybe the car accident or the divorce ?
She had a facelift after the earliest episodes
@@FlockOfHawks I doubt her divorce from her first husband was causing issues at this point. And she was married to Martin until his death.
They're gonna luff at you
18:05: “Why didn’t I stay home tonight?!” :D
The clothes women wore then were rather form fitting and the women looked good in them. Everyone was so slim and in such good shape. As opposed to these days.
The food industry started adding chemicals and additives in the early 1980’s...before then obesity was rare
I've always liked Art Linkletter but he just didn't have a knack for the game.
Loved Piper Laurie here, although my mind has mixed up her name with Peter Lorre...I know, gross right?
Actually I do that I think from “Year of the Cat” lyrics she always mistakenly comes to mind. It would have been a hoot if she mimicked his voice here.
Love the way the guest looked at John Daly when he mispronounced her last name.
Boy the panel is good.
First of all, so called "Piper Laurie" wasn't her real name. There was nothing wrong with her actual birth name, Rosetta Jacobs. Obviously she "sold out" her birth name because of the shallowness of the entertainment industry?! Most likely the change was made as the result of a greedy Business Manager, with perceived notions of greater recognition accompanied with monetary gains? In reality, it's also shows blatant disrespect for one's parents & their family heritage, just to possibly obtain (not earn) a greater buck?!
Oh well. It's not affecting your life in any way.
Piper Laurie is a National Treasure
