Eve Arden's facial expressions are absolutely hilarious and her horn sounding was truly funny! Eve Arden was one of the best gems of comedy. She is sorely missed to this day. RIP Eve, and I know you're giving Heaven some wonderful laughter. :)
The applause was tepid considering the overwhelming talent and beauty of this comedienne. She could dish out a line with more p'zazz than almost anyone and her lines were dripping with good-humoured sarcasm. What a joy.
I've met many celebrities in my career as a writer. So I was used to being around them. But I really was in awe of Eve Arden when I met her on the set of "Alice", a series I was a writer. She told me how in the film "Stage Door" when another actress would decline to say a humorous line, she volunteered to take that line. She told me she was fortunate to be able to have had many acting jobs, and her favorite was of course "Our Miss Brooks". ...Rowby
I fell in love with Eve Arden as a little girl watching films with my mother. She stole every scene she was EVER in. Beautiful and a class act. I would've loved to have met her to chat about her illustrious career.
Eve Arden in her 60 year career, has crossed most media frontiers with supporting and leading roles. She will always be remembered for her role as a school teacher in the classic "Our miss Brooks.
9 years later someone is responding...yes she was Samantha's nurse toward the end of season 1 when Tabitha was born. She balled out Sabrina and Sabrina turned her into a frog, then she balled out Endora, I think it was for filling the room with flowers. It's free on Amazon Prime at the moment.
When Mr. Daly tells Ms. Arden to "sign in please" it is so evident that he really admires her; just observe his expressions! In other places on U-Tube, one can see her other talents, such as her dancing and her way of flipping a phrase to great comedic effect. She was one of the greats! I was very sad when she died; don't think that she ever quite got over her husband's death.
She was one of the greatest character actors in the 40's and 50's. She played beside some of the greatest actors/actresses in history not to mention many Academy Award winning films and there's a reason for that. What a great talent she is.
A rare talent and somewhat unorthodox legend: A character actress in films, a leading lady on television, but you'd know her immediately with the utterance of a single syllable; one of the most recognizable voices on TV and film. Essentially left her career to be a mother four times over, then bewitched a second generation of fans with things like "Grease" and "The Mothers-In-Law." Thank you so much.
thank you for releasing this on youtube. What made the golden age of movies and TV was great character actors/actressess like Eve Arden. I only wish the great TCM movie network would air classic TV shows as well, like Our Miss Brooks, heck I would listen to a blank TV to hear the classic Our Miss Brooks radio shows or the Danny Kaye show featuring the great Eve Arden
Exactly. If Eve was in the cast, the film was usually worthwhile. A wonderful actress, with wit and grace. Loved her in Stage Door and Mildred Pierce. Always charming.
I don't really know her but you can tell from this appearance that this woman is def. above par. She seems humble. polite, and loving. Def. someone I would love to know throughout the Eternities. I'll have to look her up later )
Eve Arden was great! She was hilarious in "Our Miss Brooks." I have the complete series on DVD. Some of the episodes are even funnier than "I Love Lucy," which is hard to accomplish! But, with her show being produced by Desilu, it's no surprise. Eve Arden and Lucille Ball were very close friends.
And I must add thanks for the laughs! And also the compliments. Good to see I´m not alone with those thoughts about the "wonderful" youtube community. But we´ll stand. Cheers to you and I´m off to dreamland.
Thanx for posting this classic sequence with a great actress. Some celebrities, Mark Goodson once said, could not disguise their voices and used other means. Arden's voice was pretty unmistakable. Whatever that gizmo is, it makes very funny yes and nos.
She was also brilliant and funny in the famous Brown Derby episode of 'I Love Lucy' with Bill Holden. She was a much bigger TV star than people remember and was a great sidekick in the movies. Dorothy K, Miss Arlene, and Bennett Cerf were all good, but they were helped somewhat by a column that appeared every week in Variety in those days that reported on West Coast celebs flying east and vica versa. I'm sure they all knew who was in town from Hollywood that week. Still, they are good!
I just can´t stop watching this show. It´s so light hearted and simple fun. There´s something about those times indeed. I´m happy youtube can still hold some great stuff. Nicest surprise in a long time. Thanks for uploading. Cheers.
I recall one iof her lines ina movie "If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a snake" Everyone here has turned to dust, but they endure on this recording.
EVE WAS THE GREATEST. BETTER THAN LUCY(ALTHOUGH WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST), BETTER THAN MTM(AND THATS IMPOSSIBLE), BETTER THAN MARLO (WHO WAS SO WONDERFUL) BETTER THAN THEM ALL. INTELLIGENT, SEXY, FUNNIER THAN HELL AND SO VERY TALENTED. SHE EVEN MADE THE HORN SOUND FUNNY THE WAY SHE USED IT. THE MOST DISTINCTIVE VOICE EVER. LOVED HER SO MUCH. I DEARLY LOVE ALL THE SWEET AND HONEST COMMENTS THAT WERE POSTED ABOUT HER. THANK YOU ALL FOR RECOGNIZING A COMIC GENIUS WITH PERFECTLY TIMING.
I want to say she was known for her excellent wisecrack timing which Lucy really wasn’t known for like Eve Arden was. Not saying BETTER, just different approach.
I love that there are young people who weren't even born yet when Kurt Cobain died who are watching these and enjoying them. It amazes me and yet it doesn't.
That is when they even manage to succeed on being entertaining nowadays. They sure have a LOT to learn! Thanks for you reply. I´ve been working too much and the reminder of the existence of this amazing show sure relaxed me at the right time.
In The Marx Brothers at the Circus Eve played the girl who walked upside down on the ceiling in magnetic boots. And what a shame for TV that Christine Jorgenson was never a mystery guest on WML.
One of her husbands name was Brooks West.I wonder if she picked the name for her show ? I have about 50 of her radio shows. I grew up listening to radio programs, so I got a big collection of them and have supplied a radio station (KSFO) in San Francisco with many of them. These shows are great while driving long distances.
Yeah - she is great! My dear friend John just LOVES her in Anatomy of a Murder. If I bring her name up he goes right in to telling me how great she was in that movie. (I think it is kinda sweet -even tho I've heard him talk about her in that part like a million times!!) He loves her I guess - tee hee.
Shirley Booth did the audition radio show "Our Miss Brooks." They wanted Lucy but Lucy recommended her friend Eve Arden. Eve took it and ran with it in both radio and television. For the first year they did it both on television and radio which Eve said was difficult. Regardless the show transfered beautifully to television.
@etraig I agree Kay and Eve were at their best in that show, I wonder why Nick at Night or TV land haven't re run it? Itwas on when Nick at Night First started back in the 80's.
Brooks West didn't play Mr. Boynton. Jeff Chandler and Robert Rockwell played him. And as far as i know "Miss Brooks" was created before she even met Brooks, so i don't think the character was named after him.
Don't break the illusion! John Daly said in the last episode that the mystery guest actually arrived after the show had gone on the air (it was usually the second-to-last or last segment) and in a few cases the mystery guest almost didn't make it to the studio in time.
Dora Glasberg Yes He was! He also played the lovestruck teenage boy who had a crush in I Love Lucy. The almost as famous Janet Waldo ( voice of Judy Jetson) played the teenage girlfriend . They are horrified when Lucy and Desi confess to being very ,very elderly.
This was a better time for television and film, when the barrier to enter the craft assured that only those who had a certain level of mastery could produce and release content. Now we are cast adrift on a sea of substandard dreck, picking through layers of detritus to try to find the rare shining gem
@xenafan234 exactly. listening to them and their impecable dialogues in the danny kaye radio show gets me every time. they were wonderful together. and so funny. they really brought the best out of eachother. the episode of the murdered meatball is a complete and total joy to listen to. i got tears in my eyes while laughing.
Eve Arden born (Eunice Mary Quedens) in Cali was a classic Hollywood actress that was pretty, charming and quick witted. If she was still alive to see what has happened to California, New York and Hollyweird she would be utterly sick. Many golden age actors would be aghast at the destruction of the golden state by liberals. Its nice to see old programs where people were charmingly entertaining without too much political bullshit.
Joan Crawford pitied Eve Arden when Ms. Arden started doing "Our Miss Brooks" and Crawford thought that Arden would be working for peanuts. Ms. Arden showed her the contract and there was no pity any more. That program ran from 1948 to 1957 on radio and 1952 to 1956 on television with a motion picture in 1956 and made Arden a wealthy woman...

If she had spoken one word, they would have gotten her identity immediately. She had such a distinctive voice.

I always just loved Eve Arden, and she was so funny! She was always such a delight to watch!

It's only "tepid" compared to the over-reaction of today, where everyone gets a standing ovation and a participation trophy just for showing up.

Classy, articulate, and incredibly funny. Eve Arden was wonderful!
I adore Eve Arden...She is simply fantastic...
Very underrated actress. Not known as a glamour girl but also very beautiful. Class act.
There it is, the meaningless "underrated" comment.
@@hijodelaisla275 And there it is. A meaningless comment just to make one.
One of the best guests--love Eve--one of the funnest ladies in Hollywood.
I fell in love with Eve Arden as a little girl watching films with my mother. She stole every scene she was EVER in. Beautiful and a class act. I would've loved to have met her to chat about her illustrious career.
I've watched this clip about 20 times now and still LOVE it! Eve Arden was amazing in everything she did.
Eve Arden in her 60 year career, has crossed most media frontiers with supporting and leading roles. She will always be remembered for her role as a school teacher in the classic "Our miss Brooks.
One role I never saw again was when Eve played a nurse in the birth episode of Tabitha on Bewitched.As always she was charming.
9 years later someone is responding...yes she was Samantha's nurse toward the end of season 1 when Tabitha was born. She balled out Sabrina and Sabrina turned her into a frog, then she balled out Endora, I think it was for filling the room with flowers. It's free on Amazon Prime at the moment.

Classy lady and funny also. She was marvelous in Grease in 1978.

Not to mention an accomplished stage actress. I would have given anything to have seen her when she played Dolly in Hello Dolly.
Any movie or TV show she was in was a winner, at least in part, because she was in it.
Always loved Eve Arden! Great character actor.
I have watched all the ones I can find and now I am watching them again. I am completely hooked.
Our Miss Brooks...unforgettable. Adored her.
Eve got back into movies, turning in a great performance along with her peers for "Anatomy of a Murder".
John Daly .. what a classy gentleman =)
I love it when he shares a little giggle with the guest!
LOVE Eve Arden !!!!

Hello Vicki, How are you doing?
she was so good in Mildred Pierce
The sublime Eve Arden!
Eve brightened up whatever she was in.
Exactly. If Eve was in the cast, the film was usually worthwhile. A wonderful actress, with wit and grace. Loved her in Stage Door and Mildred Pierce. Always charming.
one of my favorite people---so funny and fantastic

She appears as guest on ILL as well, I believe? Probably goes without saying.
one of the best guests ever!
She's from Our Miss Brooks. I love listening to that show.
This clip (as have the other WML clips) left me smiling and feeling good. What a joy to watch amusing, entertaining and intelligent performers.
There was none like Eve Arden. Connie Brooks; Eve Hubbard; Principal McGee, she was, as Leonard Maltin always said, comedy insurance!
Eve Hubbard was so funny! Shame Mother's and Law couldn't have lasted longer
My fave role: Ida, from 'Mildred Pierce'
"Leave some clothes on me, I might catch cold."
she was also the principal from grease 1 and 2
You are right..Eve Arden was the principal in 'Grease'...classy lady
She would have made a great Glolden Girl!!
I agree
i adore eve arden!
And I must add thanks for the laughs! And also the compliments. Good to see I´m not alone with those thoughts about the "wonderful" youtube community.
But we´ll stand.
Cheers to you and I´m off to dreamland.
With Netflix, I find myself always watching or listening to TH-cam. It's the best!
Thanx for posting this classic sequence with a great actress. Some celebrities, Mark Goodson once said, could not disguise their voices and used other means. Arden's voice was pretty unmistakable. Whatever that gizmo is, it makes very funny yes and nos.
I LOVED Eve Arden on "Our Miss Brooks!" But I had no idea that she could be as funny as her character.
Thank you for answering me. But what I meant was how she makes it sound like her voice. She is really good at it. LOVE it
What a wonderfully classy lady! Thanks for sharing this.
Love Her!
What an amazing talent she was!❤❤❤
She was also brilliant and funny in the famous Brown Derby episode of 'I Love Lucy' with Bill Holden. She was a much bigger TV star than people remember and was a great sidekick in the movies.

Arden is delightful
Our Miss Brooks holds up so well - such a funny radio program
a very confident women and funny great actress i fell in love with her many years ago
She would appear in the movie "Grease" 23 years later.
I love her little horn.
i've just seen her in "Stage Door", totally gorgeous with an ironic, wit glance and that way she caressed that white cat all the time....
I love Ms Brooks
I recall one iof her lines ina movie "If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a snake" Everyone here has turned to dust, but they endure on this recording.
Just a glorious entertainer!!

Eve was the Queen of snark, before snark was a term.
"Tea For Two" is one of her best.
I liked her on the Mothers in Law and in Mildred Pierce.
"Leave some clothes on me, I might catch cold."
Since I've only seen Eve Arden in films and on OUR MISS BROOKS it was fun to see her "in real life" on WML. Thanks!
This was filmed the day I was born....LOL....Eve Arden, the only actress who can steal a scene from Rita Hayworth (Cover Girl, 1944). Love Eve Arden.
Oh my! I'm a teen and i love this woman!! especially in Grease! :D
Miss being a teenager? I sure do. Lol
In some moments that nice lady reminds me Marlene Dietrich :-) I adored her in Mildred Pierce, BTW :-)
I love that there are young people who weren't even born yet when Kurt Cobain died who are watching these and enjoying them. It amazes me and yet it doesn't.
That is when they even manage to succeed on being entertaining nowadays.
They sure have a LOT to learn!
Thanks for you reply. I´ve been working too much and the reminder of the existence of this amazing show sure relaxed me at the right time.
Both Eve and Sam Leven son were very talented,
Hello Linda, How are you doing?
In The Marx Brothers at the Circus Eve played the girl who walked upside down on the ceiling in magnetic boots. And what a shame for TV that Christine Jorgenson was never a mystery guest on WML.
@stickitupyourasteric she played in the mothers in law tv show i liked her too
I would love to see her in "the Mothers in law" sit com again. That show hasn't rerun in years.
Get in law on tubi
@@pattikies143 lol! yes, i have seen it on tubi, since posting this 11 years ago, wow time flies.

I love listening to the radio suspense programs. You picture the scene in your mind.
Yeah - she is great! My dear friend John just LOVES her in Anatomy of a Murder. If I bring her name up he goes right in to telling me how great she was in that movie.

Her dress was very business like, compared to other females who wear elaborate and beautiful dresses.
You know, you can download just about all of Our Miss Brooks episodes online for free. I'm only 24 but OMB is one of my favoite OTR's!
Where at?
Don't break the illusion! John Daly said in the last episode that the mystery guest actually arrived after the show had gone on the air (it was usually the second-to-last or last segment) and in a few cases the mystery guest almost didn't make it to the studio in time.
This specific clip aired live on Jan 2, 1955.
Richard Crenna was Walter Denton on Our Miss Brooks.

Mildred Pierce was a Joan Crawford movie, but Eve Arden had the best lines.
I ask the EXACT same question after seeing every one of these 'mystery celebrity' clips. The people on this panel are just d__n good at this game.
I,ve played more supporting roles than Eve Arden, is one of my favorite lines when I come in second on anything. (EVERYTHING!!!!)
I saw an episode on TH-cam...I remember that show when I was 5.
Eve also played Sam’s baby nurse on ‘Bewitched’!
Her voice was so deliciously full and would have been an unfair tip off.
@xenafan234 exactly. listening to them and their impecable dialogues in the danny kaye radio show gets me every time. they were wonderful together. and so funny. they really brought the best out of eachother. the episode of the murdered meatball is a complete and total joy to listen to. i got tears in my eyes while laughing.
She was great as a comic relief to Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce
I want one of those horns now!
That is so funny, because I was thinking the same thing. lol

you got that right!
Lena Horne. HA! Good one.
Eve Arden writes BOLD!!! She was funny with that squawky horn. The thing sounds like a sick duck.

Yes she is ours!

Wonder what it would have been like for her to play Miss Kitty and Amanda Blake to have played the mother in law 🤔
"must be Lena Horne" -- hee hee hee
