I don't know why I should have been, but I was quite surprised at how articulate and thoughtful Dick Clark was with his questions. It was as if he had been on the panel forever. An excellent fit as a guest panelist.
I loved watching her movies as a little girl. She is fascinating to me. Now all of these years later I see her on What's My Line, which was a popular TV show as I was growing up. So much fun and now I understand why I loved her and always saw something in her that is very special. She is very beautiful, inside and out, talented and down to earth...These reruns bring back wonderful memories.
“Are you a blonde?” “In the summer, always.” “Are you on the petite side, say-“ “I’m taller than you are.” Zinger after zinger Esther never missed a beat! Seriously one of the wittiest guests on WML
Esther Williams was the best lady swimmer in the Hollywood history. Amazing lady... bigger than life. She passed away last year or so, I think. By the way, do you know that the first Olympic synchronized swimming competition took place in 1984, Los Angeles; and Esther was kind of a commandor in chief of synchronized swimming and a huge advocate of the sport back then. She introduced the sport into the Olympics arenas. Good for her !!!! R.I.P. Esther !!!
She was a fantastic actress and singer, married to Fernando Lamas, and could hold her breath for I believe 4 minutes, she did a lot of swimming and underwater musicals/movies. She could ski and dance and sing. And she was always smiling and never looked distressed but led a tragic life.
@@Merrida100 No. not tragic. She had her misfortunes, some of her own making as her excellent autobiography admits. But as in her water ballets, she always came up smiling, and her last years were contented. Her fourth marriage was happy and her kids turned out well. Her movies were rediscovered and her apostolic role in the recognition of artistic swimming as a sport honored. She remained lucid and funny to the end. Few female stars of the Golden Age wore better.
There's no mistaking Dick Clark's wonderful deep voice, but wow he's so young here. I only knew him since the 70s in his matured look. I like how he took the game seriously and spoke elegantly.
All hail Esther Williams, who proved to at least two generations that strong women could be beautiful and that beautiful women could be strong! Everyone should read her autobiography, "The Million Dollar Mermaid." Her WML appearances show that she was smart and funny too, in addition to her other talents.
Strength is only measured by one's degree of closeness and obedience to JESUS CHRIST and HIS Commandments. Is this woman you are admiring A True Lover of JESUS Christ? See Holy Bible John 15.
A persons signature, the style. and the speed in which it is written, can reveal so much about a person’s brain power, their alertness and intelligence. Esther’s is at the top of the tree!
This is the second appearance by Esther Williams I've seen on this show, and in each one she is dazzling, devilish, and drop-dead gorgeous. I'm in love!
Reverend Pulley was, previous to sabbatical-ing in Louisburg, Chaplain at the US Military Academy, aka West Point, starting in 1947 (through 1954). Previous to that, he was a minister in Richmond. Went to seminary at Sewanee. Once he got done taking time off, he was rector/priest in charge in Louisburg in the mid-60s. (Starting in 1964.) And then I lose track of him.
And after all those years in disinfected water under hot lights. Powerful shoulders, narrow waist, streamlined legs- anorexia's worst enemy, an exemplary body image for young women.
Well, the most beautiful judo instructor proved to have been the Marilyn Monroe's inpersonator... in 1956, I think. Smashing stuff, must to see ! Cheers !
This great show went on year after year, decades, without the panel being able to hear the guest, without the guest being able to hear the panel. They never tried to overcome the problem. Amazing!
this was the early days of TV. the studio was an old theater. you can hear fire trucks going by sometimes. I don't think there was a way to fix it back then.
When they filmed the one Sunday from Hollywood, there was zero issues hearing each other so it was an issue with that theater and that sound equipment I believe.
002DrEvil -- Yup, she was a hoot. As annoying is it might have been for some that her "laryngitis" affectation made it hard for panelists to hear and understand her answers, it worked fine for the audience at home (including us TH-camrs 47 years later). She fooled the panel and was very funny in the process. I loved her answer "I'm taller than you are" directed toward Dick Clark, who was 5'9" tall. Williams was actually 5'8" tall, so she wasn't as tall as Dick Clark unless she was wearing high heels, which she was.
I actually found her to be somewhat off putting and irritating … between her hard to hear, whispery voice and the misleading answers she gave to most of the questions, it was a slow slog.
Miss Kincaid wrestled in Florida, unsurprisingly. There's very little evidence of her doing so, but I suspect I just haven't found her stage name. (And/or married name.) What I can find is all centered around 1958/1959.
'Raw Wind in Eden', plugged here, was when Esther was breaking up with Ben Gage, her second husband, and having a big fling with her co-star, Jeff Chandler.
Both Arlene and Dorothy stood to shake the Reverend's hand. Good girls! Considering how confused the panelists are over worms, snakes, pigs v hogs, et cetera, can you imagine what they would do with butterflies? LOL
This is the only occasion I can ever recall when Dorothy stood for a clergyman who was not Catholic. She sat for many other religious figures. Maybe the collar fooled her.
@@esmeephillips5888 That’s just self expression done willingly after the fact. What I was referring to is facial symmetry and attractive physical features.
but if the show was on tv today there would be probably riots in usa's street because of the inappropriate sexist whistles and other racist comments of the show... when they had guests not from us they made joke of every nation japanese, scottish or french, just because some1 is from texas doesn't mean they are uneducated... 2nd or 3rd question like "may I assume you don't need a college degree in your work" ... is very embarrassing :D
being born in 1959 I really don't know anything about Ester Williams. shes funny, quick with a joke and very sexy and flirty. "depends on your definition, you are very critical". at 20:43 I thought she was moving in for a kiss. "you're asking the question miss Francis". "I'm taller then you are, honey" "They didn't sell"
I love Arlene and Dorothy. They’re like 2 sides of the same coin- Arlene the fun, outgoing, bubbly one and Dorothy, fun- but a little more serious, and a little more reserved
@@dawnfalvey6766 Dorothy dropped out of college and plunged into the most competitive news market in the country- New York City. It was the world of 'The Front Page' and 'Ace in the Hole'. As a syndicated columnist she had to get scoops every day. Her forensic questioning is well-mannered, but her questioning is that of a hotshot reporter trying to grab money quotes from a celebrity in a hurry.
There usually is some awkwardness with the contestants every now and then. Broken chalk, walking forward to soon to the desk etc. I get a kick out the whistles when a good looker walks on stage.
I'm not sure why some of these mystery guests have to prolong things and eb coy. Esther is known for swimming. She never answered and that's not fair to the panel.
The MGs were expected to get laughs by prevarication, in contrast with the often nervous, tongue-tied responses of the civilian contestants. Light and shade.
+daisyflowerrose2005 and +What's My Line? I think they just went on and on about this question for so long (probably because John was trying to confuse Dick Clark) that John got HIMSELF confused about the way the question was asked and gave Dick Clark the "No" when it should have been a yes. Mr. Daly (and most of the panel) very definitely knew all about the taxonomy of worms after an episode featuring the same occupation a couple of years back! Regardless of his error, Arlene seemed to know what was really intended and was able to come up with the right answer. I loved Arlene's reprimand of John for denying he would ever try to "trap" anybody with the reverend sitting right there! Lol. :)
There is no question that society's decline of respect for Religious Institutions is partially the result of the morally corrupt behavior on the part of many of the leaders of those institutions, fortunately many people have not lost faith in the G-D that these institutions have claimed to represent.
Sadly, our dear Esther Williams, before marrying Fernando Lamas had to agree to stop “being Esther Williams”(no more movies or appearances) and promise none of her three children would be allowed to live with them. What was the exchange? He wouldn’t cheat on her.
Clark was perpetually youthful even in his 70s. Then he had a stroke. He faced criticism when after a year or so of rehabilitation, but far from his prior self in looks or ability to speak, he hosted New Year's Rockin' Eve. Later he groomed Ryan Secrest for the role by sharing it with him for a couple of years. Given the pride he took in his appearance, his voice, and his seeming agelessness, it took quite a bit of guts for him to go back to the hosting role after the stroke, yet he also soon recognized his limitations as well. He still made contributions and helped to ring in happy occasions for people even as he was no longer a glamorous show business figure and even when it was physically difficult. Good for him.
She was among the smartest, bravest and most beautiful performers ever to have their name in lights. The challenges she accepted as part of her days at the studio made landbound actresses look like slackers. Yet she had thought MGM was joking when she was offered a contract, protesting to producer Joe Pasternak that she couldn't act and had no intention of learning how. Her dream of competing in the Olympics had been dashed by the outbreak of the war. The 18 y.o. athlete took a modeling job at Magnin's, the big store in LA (the family lived in Inglewood). Billy Rose, the promoter of the Aquacade, told her to get over and audition pronto because he had a plane to catch. She said she finished work at 5 and he would either have to forget it or catch a later flight. He stayed and signed her to appear with Johnny Weissmuller. So began the most distinctive screen career of the postwar period- and one of the most successful. Esther lived a long, rich and mainly happy life because she was determined, yet she took nothing too seriously. A drama queen she was not: the polar opposite of her Metro contemporary Judy Garland.
We were better then. Sure you can pick out a thing or two that has improved… But on the whole, we were a better people then. To deny this is the height of myopia
Getting so sick of "raising worms", Lady wrestlers, private INVESTIGATORS, gets shot out of a cannon, circus acts, etc...I mean, there ARE more jobs, aren't there???????
“Can I rule out?” was a sneaky way of hogging the questioning. Dorothy was a delightful and very intelligent panel member but not only did I dislike this negative style of questioning but sometimes it confused and embarrassed the guest in giving a wrong answer.

Thanks for clarification...
She was smart and her pool company also did the structure surrounding the Statue of Liberty when it was refurbished...
"Lady swimmer"... wow
Esther is regarded by synchro swimmers as the godmother of the sport. She had to train her chorus as well as devise her own moves.

She was a-DOOR-a-BULL
She was a fantastic actress and singer, married to Fernando Lamas, and could hold her breath for I believe 4 minutes, she did a lot of swimming and underwater musicals/movies. She could ski and dance and sing. And she was always smiling and never looked distressed but led a tragic life.

Dick Clark’s voice. Close your eyes you still know it so well.
One day my rather reserved father stated that Esther Williams was his favorite movie star. Now I know why. What a beautiful woman, and a true delight.

Since I started watching WML on youtube last month. The line that has come up most often is Raising Worms.
