  • Sammy Lee is the famous name in this show, but the highlight for me is his partner Nona, self-proclaimed "Tomato Queen of the Ozarks".
    Please note that the a/v synch is off for the first segment and I wasn't able to fix it. This only affects the segment with couple #1. If this is too jarring for you, I recommend skipping to 8:50.
    COUPLE #1: Ralph Yack / Marianne Booth, deep-voiced former soprano who injured her voice taking singing lessons
    COUPLE #2: High school students: Douglas Hopper / Ardythe Smith
    COUPLE #3: Nona Morton, "Tomato Queen of the Ozarks" / Sammy Lee, two time gold medal winning Olympic diver

    At age 93, Sammy Lee is still around. He suffers from dementia, and a manhunt was launched last summer, after he went missing. Investigators tracked him through his credit card purchases, as he drove through at least three Southern California counties. He was found by deputies who responded to a report of a traffic hazard. Lee overcame prejudice and discrimination on his way to Olympic gold. He was forced to practice at the Brookside Pool in Pasadena only on Wednesdays -- when it was open to non-whites on the day before it was drained and refilled. He was inducted into the International Swimming Hall Of Fame in 1968. He was inducted into the United States Olympic Hall Of Fame in 1990.

    Didn't Sammy Lee (14:00) train Kitty O'Neil to dive for US Olympic team? What is interesting to know is that Kitty O'Niel's father also competed in Olympics as a member of the USA Rugby team int the 1920s.

    The Reference to Casey Stengel in the Converstion to Ardythe Smith is quite interesting. Had to look him up, but i guess Groucho was a fan and in this Moment he feelt somewhat old (although Groucho and his wit are immortal). The first pair is quite funny especially Ralph. And Nora really is a highlight and the quiz was also fun.

    Koreans have inherently such good values and are good pple who embraced the G-d who is three but one as when the Goryeo kingdom started 4,365 yrs ago, pssbly from line of Dan or Benjamin (Joseph's brother). King Seojung was a descendent of Dangun (means son of Dan) who was believed to be of heavenly connection and believed that G-d was three but one. No wonder Korea is the largest missionary sending country in the world. G-d bless you Dr. Lee and all Koreans. May you always be blessed as the country that calls upon the G-d of Yacob. GBU>>>>> G-d always has a wonderful and beautiful plan for H-s ppl. It is His promise.

      No religion-themed posts, please. I know you *certainly* meant no offense, I just don't want to risk nasty exchanges developing. There are few issues more divisive than religion and politics, so I try to keep these subjects out of the comments sections on my videos entirely. Thank you for your comment, though.

    It's obvious 01:04 Marianne is a trans, a man-in-drag. Husky voice spoken softly, drama queen mannerisms, male build with tightly cinched waist, and those dazed demonic eyes. Trans were commonly in television even then, that paved the way for the prevalent trans in TV and movies today. There are no natural women, and I mean NONE, in today's entertainment industry or politics. Every man-in-drag that hold position as a woman, displaces a real woman while counting as a woman. Worst male chauvinism to date.
