Back when Saran Wrap was really Saran Wrap. Actually, Saran Wrap was still the original polyvinylidene chloride in the USA until 2004; now it is made out of LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene). Polyvinylidene chloride Saran Wrap and another brand is still available from Japan through Amazon and eBay, produced by Asahi-Kasei (Saran) snd Kureha (Krewrap).
The TV version of "Queen For A Day" began in 1950 as a local program in Los Angeles. It went national in 1956 on NBC, then moved to ABC for it's final four years of it's original run.
I WORKED AT ABC TV BACK IN 1962 WHEN THIS SHOW WAS TELEVISED FROM THE MOULIN ROUGHE ON SUNSET BLVD IN HOLLYWOOD...WORKED THE AUDIENCE AND WAS THAT AN UNDERPAID JOB...WE HAD HOMELESS LADIES LINED UP UNDER THE CANOPY UNTIL ALL CARDS WERE READ AND THE MOST PROMISING LADIES WERE CHOISEN....FELT SORRY FOR ALL THESE LADIES CUZ SOMETIMES THEY WERE STANDING IN THE RAIN HOPING TO GET IN....
Hello, my mother was a contestant in 1963 and I have a program and photo of her with the other girls and the host. Do you know who I could contact to see a copy of her particular episode?
17:15 - Jack Bailey and "Queen For A Day" was spoofed regularly in MAD magazine - often for his trademark "photobombs" he would do, to distract Gene Baker from reading his sponsor announcements. In this case, his hand slowly enters the frame to block out congenial Gene's face!!! Usually,Jack would enter the frame from the side and would wave...
A theme song was going through my head a couple of hours ago. A name came to me. I had it right. I can't believe it. I haven't heard it in forever. My grandmother lived until 1970. Life for me was BG and AG--before and after Grandma. Everything changed. I don't want to say her love was unconditional. I think she would have been pretty upset at me if I'd started kicking the dog, or trying to burn down the house. But... What she expected of me was reasonable, and reachable. I was always one of the good guys. She'd buy me model cars to glue together, or play word games with me, tell me little stories about her life, and make hot tea with donuts. I love the children in my family a whole lot--more than I can say. But, now I'm an adult. Life is more complicated. I'm too old to be innocent. And, I'm no one's hero now. Not like I used to be. It happens. I hope at least a few of the children in my family now will experience life the way I described it, when I was a child. If not about me, about someone. It's a very-special need, for a very special time.
Probably from a PD DVD... There are only a handful of episodes, and ALL of them are on TH-cam (that are circulating) - the remaining few kinescopes are in collectors' hands or UCLA...

I was a very young girl and I watched these shows with my grandma. Memories.
I remember watching this show with my grandmother 👵.
Those were the days..remember watching when I was a little girl..great memories.
It was my favorite TV show when I was in the third grade.
I also watches these shows with my grandmother when I was a very young girl. At that age I couldn't understand why the woman cried. I do now. LOL
My Mom won in 1963. All the stuff lasted 50 years.
Good Lord!!!!! Perfection in picture and sound.
I've been longing for a new episode of this travesty of a show, thank you for this excellent quality copy!!!!
This was one of the two most controversial audience participation shows in daytime TV history.
The other was "Strike It Rich".
@@altfactor Checking that now- thank you!
