You could hear the solemn sadness in John Daly's voice. Bennet sounded as if his voice was on the verge of breaking through the entire show and he even possibly hinted as to how Dorothy died by saying that as a news paper woman nothing would stand in her way. Arlene looked as if she'd been crying for days.
John Daly looked so upset. They all looked like they'd rather be anywhere else: yet how dignified they all were and determined to pay tribute to Dorothy. I love this programme: it teaches me a lot in so many ways.
A book was written about the cause of Dorothy Killgalens death called, "The Reporter Who Knew to Much". She was writing a book on the assassination of JFK.
@@akrenwinkle Absolutely. He knew she was working on JFK. Everyone did. She announced that she was going to break the case. FYI: John Daly was married to Justice Earl Warren's daughter. So the Warren Commission knew, too. And the daughter of another Warren Commission member, John McCloy, worked for RIchard Salant, the head of CBS. What's My Line was broadcast on CBS. A tangled web.
One of the rare times the male panelists, and Mr. Daly wore long, dark ties, rather than bow-ties. This also occurred after the death of Fred Allen, in 1956. Steve Allen was also on that panel.
WML never really got over the death of Dorothy., and neither have any of her fans. They really were a family, and even though the show continued in some form or another, even when they were reunited it was never the same.
I never heard of Dorothy Kilgallen before watching What's My Line . She doesn't seem the kind of lady that would take her own life especially re accidental overdose because when she was on the shows panel, she was very articulate, held herself with great self respect, respecting others, no I don't think whatever happened to Dorothy was self inflicted. So sad for her husband, family,friends. I enjoyed the WML episode when her husband Steve Kollmer played Mystery Guest. 🙏🏻🎧✍️💔🥀🙏🏻
Dorothy Kilgallen was murdered by a man connected with the coverup of the JFK assassination. Her her drink and 3 different sedatives in it. Those chemicals were present in her brain fluid after her autopsy. Kilgallen had interviewed Jack Ruby and she was about the publish her findings when she was murdered. The FBI rushed into her apartment and took all her notes. FBI was also part of the JFK murder coverup. A few days later, her assistant was dead also. There's a video here on TH-cam that goes into great detail about her death.
When I was pre-kindergarten, I used to watch To Tell the Truth in the afternoons at home. I was always fascinated by Kitty Carlisle and her glamous attire.
The Oregonian,2016: After Walker's "line" was revealed, actress Kitty Carlisle remarked, "Mrs. Walker is so pretty, I'm sure everybody voted for her." Walker smiled and replied, "Not quite." "Oh, I wanted to hit her," said Walker, now 88. "Gee whiz, I found that to be insulting." Walker never appreciated the attention on her looks - "I was kind of a stick in the mud about that," she said. She was always civic-minded and got her interest in politics from her father, who was chairman of the Bent County, Colorado Republican Party and often took his young daughter to political rallies. Sadly for him, she grew up to be a Democrat. ...When Walker announced her candidacy for mayor, she expected skepticism, but was unprepared for the backlash. "I had calls from a lot of women who felt I was overstepping the bounds of housewifery," Walker said. "I had calls from people who did not like my earrings or the length of my skirt." It continued after the election. "I had a lot of people who would come to council meetings who would just berate me for doing one thing or another," Walker said. "I would just smile and say 'thank you so much for your input.' ...She looks back and says, "I was naive." Her home was burglarized several times. Someone threw a large rock through the front window that lodged in the dining room wall. She received phone threats that either she or her children would be kidnapped. "My brother beat up a kid on the High Line Canal," (her daughter Allison) Payne recalled. "We walked home from school and this kid followed or came along with us and was making remarks about her being mayor. My brother had to pummel him." This was news to Walker: "Now, I'm hearing about it. Well!" As mayor, Walker instituted a pay cut for city council members and a pay raise for police and firefighters. She oversaw a $60 million reservoir project that secured Aurora's own water supply...
Norma Walker passed away just last month, Sep 2023. She was 95. She shouldn't have taken offense at the female panellist's remark, as she (Norma) was indeed very pretty. This was 1965, when miscegenation in the USA had not reached epidemic proportions. Norma was of Scandinavian descent, and she obviously did not have "one drop" of any other DNA. I believe that the flower power era (circa 1967) was the beginning of rampant miscegenation. Although bad things had happened to negress slaves at the hands of their evil masters, which resulted in half-breed babies being born, industrial scale miscegenation nevertheless only started with the advent of LSD, getting high, men dodging the Vietnam war and poking white women and creating fuzzy-haired, Nescafe-coloured babies -- all that began around '66 or '67 and never really ended. Today, 6 decades later, you have 340 million really really mixed people with very uncertain lineage. A nation of really impure people. Contrast that with Japan. Or China. Or Finland. Or Iceland. Those countries are as pure breed as you can get. But the USA?? Oh, well. Really contaminated bloodline. But in 1965, when Norma appeared on WML, she and her fellow 200 million countrymen (the descendents of slaves notwithstanding) were still relatively pure. Hence her pure Nordic looks.
@@JacobNightingale Alexander the great wanted to eliminate barriers between the peoples, which is why he wanted to marry somebody that was not a Macedonian. This was strategic in order to mix the races to eliminate this silly human trait of disliking those unlike yourself. Sadly, your comments be perceived as fairly racist when you should be glad that the US population generally are people who get along with each other because they have so much in common rather than disliking each other for silly differences that mean nothing. Although a possible disappointment to her father, in that she was a Democrat, as opposed to him being a Republican, her performance is what counted, and as usual, the Democrat delivers for the people.
She was murdered with 3 different sedatives because she was writing a book accusing the mob of killing of JFK. There's a whole video about the details by a lawyer here on TH-cam.
@@mitsurikanroji9548How about you "do one"? If there weren't journalists of Dorothy's calibre in this world, we probably wouldn't have the freedom of speech we do have.

Yes, during the opening, you can hear his voice crack a few times. Great post, by the way.
The panel is always a class act.
A different time to be missed.
The first contestant, Mayor Norma Walker, just passed away September 2023.
She was also the only woman Mayor in Aurora Colorado's history.
Very sad occasion! God bless Her Soul.
Dorothy would have nailed the first person as a mayor within the first few minutes, I think.

It is a great book. She was murdered.
...That is certainly true. But to this day her murder has gone unsolved and unpunished...a terrible2 injustice

Dorothy Mae Kilgallen
(July 3, 1913 - November 8, 1965)
WML never really got over the death of Dorothy., and neither have any of her fans. They really were a family, and even though the show continued in some form or another, even when they were reunited it was never the same.
You could see the pain in everyone’s face rest in peace Dorothy
She passed away 8 years before I was born and I'm crying my eyes out at the beautiful closing remarks.
ah, bless you my son.
Me too!!! This was a rough show, but so loving.

Hi
Kitty Carlisle was 55 years old in this video, yet her skin was so flawless., she could have passed for 25. Absolutely gorgeous.
When I was pre-kindergarten, I used to watch To Tell the Truth in the afternoons at home. I was always fascinated by Kitty Carlisle and her glamous attire.
John's tribute to Dorothy was profoundly moving.
Mrs. Walker has my vote.
The 1940s to the 1970s were a MAGICAL TIME! Rest in eternal paradise to Dorothy. She was an amazing woman who fought against amazing odds!
2 days after my 12th birthday, it was a sad Sunday.
Watching all these shows and watching Dorothy it seems like you have lost a friend though I wasn't even born when these shows were aired
So sad. The show must go on.
She had no reason to take her own life. She was very excited about her work on the JFK assassination
Poor, Dorothy.💔🙏😢🥀

I can't imagine how tough someone would have to be to be in her shoes, in those days - even well-meaning compliments like that had to sting.

This telecast was live in Eastern Standard Time and Central Standard Time. Videotape was not used.
Opening tribute similar to the one for Fred Allen.
The more I learn about her, the more I'm convinced she was murdered
John introduces "Mayor Norman Walker". LOL.
Per Wikipedia, Mayor Walker is still alive, age 95, as of the date of this post.

Kitty Carlilse was a class act....much better on the panel than Dorothy ever was!!!
Ok grandpa. Take your pills and go to bed.
What an appalling lack of taste and decency.
I like Kitty, but as she said at the end of the show, she can never take Dorothy's place.
What an utter nonsense, not even close, you ignorant fool.
It is rather sad that she had a problem with drinking ... appearing slightly tipsy on some shows ...
Nah that had nothing to do with her death..... They did to her what they did to marilyn
People often drank on shows. Probably loosened them up.
