Lynn Castle, the lady barber and song writer, had her first album, Rose Coloured Corner, released in 2017 when she was 78 years old. The recordings were made some 50 years ago. She dated Phil Spector on and off for three years and her hair dressing clients included Del Shannon, the Byrds, Vincent Price, Johnny Mathis, Neil Young and Sonny and Cher, in whose Good Times movie she made a brief cameo. Although at one stage she nearly recorded with Bob Dylan (one of her "almost" stories) she ended up returning to hair dressing. Interesting lady with a fabulous husky voice.

Thank you for uploading. I started watching this show in the 70's when I was a child. Today is New Year's Day, my family and ex-husband are deceased and I am very comforted watching it right now.
This show literally helped to pull me out of a huge depression several years ago. I had insomnia and was so thrilled to find it one late night on TH-cam. I find it oddly COMFORTING and FAMILIAR! 😀
Hope you're ok, Laura. I'm watching this with my partner of 21years, no kids and stuck indoors with covid restrictions. I find it reassuring and entertaining even tho i never saw it originally (Im 48). We're in it together even tho I'm in UK👍😁

@@ChristinaC-fj3yu Mia says that to keep people talking because she hates Woody. I don't know who Ronan's dad is, but I know it's not Frank Sinatra. Mia & Woody were in a relationship, Ronan was planned & Woody says he's Ronan's father.
What a great show this is. To be on for 17 years with regulars like Arlene,Dorothy and Bennett and host John , but also so many guest panelists. I've been watching episodes on TH-cam for several weeks now and there doesn't seem to be many famous people that haven't appeared. Imagine how much money they'd have to pay the stars to appear today,it just wouldn't happen. Different times then , fantastic to have great shows like from the early days of television for us to enjoy today , absolutely love this show
I think the show was rigged, and/or that the guests could see through the masks. They always "guessed" the celebrity with only very vague clues. Very sus...
I mean to say that this episode holds a layer of irony. For Frank Sinatra to appear on the show with the level of involvement after the death of Dorothy Kilgallen speaks volumes of the feud between the two.
Mia may have been used to that, Frank was a woman´s man. I guess he slept with any women whenever he wanted. And she only was with him for fame. Do you think that was love? 2 years and enough.
Mia had enough fame of her own, and as the daughter of actress Maureen O'Sullivan & director John Farrow. Love isn't necessarily absent re: short marriages, but their vastly different world views obviously were. I believe Sinatra expected his wife to stay home, while he was at liberty to do as he wished, while Mia would never expect to stop working & saw no harm to her marriage for doing so. Unfortunately, Mia couldn't predict that her dismissal would be swift & painful.
My father worked at Random House for a while and worked on that unabridged dictionary--and like the other employees who worked on it, he got a complimentary copy. I remember we had that massive hardcover dictionary around the house for years! Great resource.
Mia/Frank had been married about 4 months when this show played, and they were divorced less than 2 years later. According to an interview that Mia gave, she lost her virginity to Sinatra and married him when she was 21 and he was 50.

June Murray Because he's still a terrible actor, he rushed almost all the movies he was in, 80% of the scenes in Oceans 11 were done in at most 10 takes because he got tired of doing the same scene multiple times quickly. It's the reason the film doesn't stand up today
Because he was a mean, filthy-mouthed, and immoral. He once said that his goal in life was to become a Mafia don. Why would you expect someone like him to tell the truth? And the show revealed it was corrupt, by having a panelist who knew who the mystery guest was, and yet participated. And to think about it, how could Mark Goodson not know that Frank Sinatra was present?
@Shirtless …..I ABSOLUTELY agree with you. My late husband & I went to his concert. If I remember correctly, it was early 90s. I remember it being in March. I had always said there only two people I would stand in line for hours, if need be, Sinatra & The King, Elvis. Well, the King had been gone near about 15 yrs, so, we went to Sinatra's concert. My husband couldn't stand him, but he did it to please me. I recall his ugly wife having nearly an ENTIRE row to herself, and I'm talking bout 20 or more seats, on either side of her fat tail. I remember reading how he kept harassing Liz Smith and I read about Dorothy Killgalon, Barbara Walters and Kitty Kelly. Have I forgotten anyone?? LOL He was a plain old damn bully !! His last wife was NO better. She never did anything on her own, except to sleep with & marry wealthy men.
That was a setup, Montgomery Clef Should of won the Best supporting Actor for that Movie Sinatra sucked in it he is no Actor Like Dean Martin is period.
I understand lots fans of the show admire Dorothy's talent at solving occupations and miss her dearly, although for pure entertainment and every aspect of the playing the game, good will and all the rest of it Arlene was hands down the best of any person involved with WML!!!
Two years later, Nancy Sinatra's collaborator, Lee Hazlewood, produced a single record by Lynn Castle. Lynn wrote both songs. The A-side was titled... The Lady Barber!
The song she wrote for the Monkees was called "Kicking Stones" or "Teeny Tiny Gnome." I don't think they released it. It's on a rarities album called "Missing Links."
I was born in '87, I wish I was born about 60 years earlier. People with this amount of charisma and charm were the norm, music was better, movies were better, I think I could have enjoyed and benefitted a lot more than I do now.
I was born in 1955, and wouldn't be young today for anything. A marvelous time to grow up. My advice: keep watching our old shows. Learn from them, and live like them. Some say they're unrealistic. I say they should be the norm, our examples, not the shallow, empty stuff of today. My child was born in 1976, and was raised as I was. It paid off. Our Baby Boomer values are worth keeping, repeating, and living by.
I was born in 2000. I love these kinds of old shows - I think the '50s and '60s were the golden age of TV. When it comes to movies, I prefer the '40s. I find myself getting more fun out of Adam West's Batman and The Andy Griffith Show than I do anything Netflix comes up with anymore. I do, however, think modern game shows still hold up. Jeopardy and The Chase are both excellent programs. I just wish there was this kind of charm, eloquence, and manners still on TV somewhere. Movies now are all morbid black comedies or mediocre sequels. Everything needs to be miserable or comically melodramatic for anyone to take it seriously, it seems. I have to admit that I disagree on music. I'm not fond of the pop music of today, but the actual field is so broad and all-encompassing. There are still classical and opera composers, and there are some extraordinarily talented pianists. I prefer hard rock despite my formal personality. Some of these styles of music have true creative genius behind them, with songwriting one couldn't have found in the '60s and such, most of which were seemingly full of somewhat homogeneous love songs in somewhat homogeneous compositions. The women on What's My Line? are dressed beautifully, but I have to admit that I wish the men were better-dressed. They seem to mostly just wear a black flannel suit with notch lapels and a pre-tied bow tie. I prefer a more opulent and traditional take on black tie - satin, peak or shawl lapels, a white pocket square, studs and matching cufflinks, a waistcoat (or at least cummerbund), and at least a self-tie bow tie. I wear this style at least every other week for ballroom dance parties, if not for fine dining or informal performing arts events. (White tie and tails is for the formal ones.) This kind of elegant black tie was a tragic victim to the Countercultural Revolution of the '60s. The way I see it, What's My Line? was an old guard in the face of the abject ruination of all things beautiful and elegant of the revolution. They still spoke like ladies and gentlemen rather than hippies and teenagers. I even heard on Wikipedia that the producers wanted to casualize the show to appeal to the youth, but relented out of fear of losing one brave Mr. John Charles Daly, who was unwilling to budge.
It seems obvious that Bennett and Arlene had guessed early on that the mystery guest was Mia Farrow, and were just waiting for Frank Sinatra to figure it out.
What a fun episode! Watching them all in order and this is so far my favorite of the post-Kilgallen era. (Of course, it probably helps that I am a huge Sinatra fan!)
What a pleasant surprise to hear John Daly talk about my beautiful city-San Antonio, Texas. He was referring to the preparations for thev1968 World's Fair. It coincided with our 250th anniversary founding of the city. Now here we are 50 years later as we celebrate our 300th year.
Frank and Mia. You can tell they really loved each other and they remained friends after their divorce until his death (to the point where he offered to kill Woody after the fallout of his affair).
I think you're both insane. a spindly, gawky tom boyish girl with a butch haircut and the most eligible bachelor on the planet chooses her? one of the most bizarre marriages ever
@Corno di Bassetto She went to India beginning of 1968 after Sinatra had served her with the divorce papers on the "Rosemary's Baby's" set (November 1967). The divorce was finalised in August 1968 by which time she had fallen briefly for John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas. Her marriage to Frank had lasted little more than one year because she wanted to pursue an independent career. But she also wanted a family and liked older men, because soon after (1969)she met 4 time-Oscar winning music composer & conductor André Previn, who was 40. She got pregnant and in 1970 they got married .
@Corno di Bassetto Do you know what? I find that everybody is so judgemental when it comes to other people's choices! I, who DO have backed out & given up on no mean love interests out of respect for women, am not so judgemental. One can only expect sacrifices from him/herself, I believe. Emotional self-denials are very costly, even on the long term.
It was such a different country I'm 55 and seeing these for the first time. Now there would be lights and sirens and large money exchanges. Here even the stars seem normal.
The beautiful lady barber in this show, Lynn Castle, was the favorite barber and stylist for many diverse celebrities. In addition to Steve Allen (as host John Daly mentions), she cut and styled the hair of musician Del Shannon, the Byrds, Sonny and Cher, Vincent Price, Neil Young, Johnny Mathis, author Ray Bradbury, singer Jim Morrison, songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, and more.
I met Mia's sister, Prudence Bruns. I believe John Lennon wrote a song about her, "Dear Prudence" after they met in India at the Transcendental Retreat with Maharishi. Prudence had so many celeb contacts with her mum and dad in Hollywood that meeting the Beatles didn't really appeal to her.
Mia started young on ABC's 20th Century Fox Television production of "Peyton Place". Based on the novel and 20th Century Fox film of the same name, the show ran for 514 episodes, and 5 years, from 1964 to 1969. The program was a trailblazer for Primetime Soaps. Mia played Allison MacKenzie in episodes 001-263.
My older sister used to watch that . I remember as a little kid when neighbors , relatives , and family would gossip about something going on they would say it was a real Peyton Place .
What's sad is that it took the death of Dorothy Kilgallen before Frank Sinatra would ever appear on the show. He detested her and would never appear while she was a panelist. I always wondered what he and Mia Farrow ever had in common. It was easily the shortest of his four marriages.
She was beautiful, angelic-looking, talented, obviously had a good sense of humour, was in the business so understood a lot of the requirements & unconventional hours & lifestyle and just so precious and unique. He had talent galore, charisma, a strong male vibe combining sexuality & paternal, protective warmth, and he went after anyone or anything he wanted relentlessly. It was a star-struck marriage sprinkled with lots of fairy dust, permeated with glamour & star power: what's not to love? They were both raised Catholic. I see a lot of sweetness in this union, a desire on his part to start over & mold someone young, fresh and untouched. She could learn so much from him, as he from her, in different ways. He was powerfully magnetic, loyal to his friends, loving, unpredictable, volatile and unique in his field. I see the initial attraction so clearly.
Wow this show was on 16 years wow. I recently watched one with lucy ,& desi. Ronan farrows dad is so handsome . Love old blue eyes. So cute she wrote mia sinatra.
Color me shocked to see Sinatra on this show. Because...ok, this show only recently started appearing in my recommended...and, I’ve been drawn in to watch a few. One being (according to video description and comments) from the actual day before Dorothy Kilgallen was found, dead. And the comments compelled me to look up the circumstances surrounding her death. And, from doing so, I learned about the hostility b/w Dorothy and Sinatra...and how he would make fun of her appearance during his live shows. And that he was callous about her death, as well. Not that he had anything to do with it, of course. But still...I just find his being on the show afterwards, in which she starred for 15 years, a bit weird. And everyone was friendly, naturally. But did they not know how badly he was insulting Dorothy while she was alive?
As Mia Farrow departed, I thought... Frank should've asked her to take his place on the panel for the next guest (so she could partake in the fun) - now that would have been 'class'
Frank Sinatra was such a fantastic, extremely talented huge star in a galaxy of stars. I really don't think that there'll ever be anyone to come close to Sinatra. I am honored to have grown up in the latter half of his life. He was a real man's man who could really walk the walk.
I was going through a tough time in my life several years ago and I was so happy to discover these gems! I was instantly "hooked" and have always enjoyed watching these! I miss shows like these!
Mia Farrow was a goddess. One of a kind. I think she is one of the few ladies I Actually loved with that short hair. (Personal choice, I love long hair). And a great actress.
One of the main reasons Frank sinatra never appeared on the show in it's 16 years was due to his bitter rivalry and dislike of Miss Kilgallen, she sadly passed away just over a year before this.
Arlene Francis took a dig at Frank a bit when Mia Farrow came over to greet them all on her way out and Arlene said "You look 4 years old"...... She took a shot at Sinatra for dating & marrying someone who was 30 years his junior. He was 51 and she was 21 but he had seen her since she was 16 or something along those lines (can't remember exactly). But it was a HUGE gap and Arlene was going to have none of it. She was very rooted in her beliefs even if it was Frank Sinatra.
I absolutely adore Frank Sinatra! Love the guy. That's how men acted back then. But he is a good guy and a hell of a talent. Mia loved him and Frank loved her. It is a fact that he told a friend later in life that "Mia is the most wonderful person I have ever known". I believe he had regrets on letting go of her. I think he acted tough because this is the time he was in. But deep down he had very deep feelings. He also had a big heart. Ask his friends.
Not all men, his rudenss and cheating and hard drinkinking got him arrested and what not., Our own John Daly and Bennett Cerf were great male examples. Bign Crosby as well. Animation's best, Walt Disney, who died that year (in 1966), was the best gentleman.
@@SteveCarras Bing Crosby was horrible to his kids. And possibly his wife. I never said Frank didn't have times he wasn't at his best. However, he had a huge heart. He acted tough but deep down, he was a teddy bear. A Gentleman to me was Jimmy Stewart. Frank was no Jimmy Stewart. But I never claimed he was.
Mia Farrow was not the only one on "Peyton Place" with a Roman Polanski connection. Barbara Parkins who starred as Betty Anderson for the whole run, starred with Sharon Tate in "Valley of the Dolls". Tate played her signature role of Jennifer North in that film. And Parkins attended the wedding of Roman & Sharon in January 1968.
Frank shooting his shot with Lynn Castle while his newly young wife Mia Farrow is also on the show lol priceless 😂 always a ladies man. What a fun show!
That was Frankie deliberately dodging Miss Kilgallen: "Are you by any chance affiliated with the Kosher Nostra?" might have proven just a tad too embarrassing for prime time TV... :-D
Lynn Castle, the lady barber and song writer, had her first album, Rose Coloured Corner, released in 2017 when she was 78 years old. The recordings were made some 50 years ago.

I wear this style at least every other week for ballroom dance parties, if not for fine dining or informal performing arts events. (White tie and tails is for the formal ones.) This kind of elegant black tie was a tragic victim to the Countercultural Revolution of the '60s. The way I see it, What's My Line? was an old guard in the face of the abject ruination of all things beautiful and elegant of the revolution. They still spoke like ladies and gentlemen rather than hippies and teenagers. I even heard on Wikipedia that the producers wanted to casualize the show to appeal to the youth, but relented out of fear of losing one brave Mr. John Charles Daly, who was unwilling to budge.
It seems obvious that Bennett and Arlene had guessed early on that the mystery guest was Mia Farrow, and were just waiting for Frank Sinatra to figure it out.
I like how Frank Sinatra acknowledged the audience. So few celebrities did on that show.
Phyllis Newman is a beauty!
This is so lovely to watch
Several years later, People magazine began. Mia Farrow was the first person to appear on its cover.
Mia Farrow was just perfect!! With her outfit.
Great to see Mia Farrow from the same period that she was playing Rosemary. Arlene's questioning of her (especially one) is hilarious.
What a fun episode! Watching them all in order and this is so far my favorite of the post-Kilgallen era. (Of course, it probably helps that I am a huge Sinatra fan!)
What a pleasant surprise to hear John Daly talk about my beautiful city-San Antonio, Texas. He was referring to the preparations for thev1968 World's Fair. It coincided with our 250th anniversary founding of the city. Now here we are 50 years later as we celebrate our 300th year.
bruno av. A very beautiful & fun city....
@@dcasper8514 Thank you!
I was there - It was wonderful and San Antone Is a beautiful city.
This would be fun show to revive. I like their classy look too.
Frank and Mia. You can tell they really loved each other and they remained friends after their divorce until his death (to the point where he offered to kill Woody after the fallout of his affair).
Arlene to Mia Farrow: " Have you ever performed with Frank Sinatra?" Talk about double entendres!. ;-)
Leave it to Arlene. Her quick wit was hard to beat and really something.
LOA1955 k
"Yes, and you should have seen the money shot..."
I think they all knew. Really, they wanted Frank to guess.
@@brookehanley3659 Arlene was a very Beautiful looking Woman May she RIP
Oh, Mia was so precious. You can see why Frank fell for her.
She was beautiful so was the barber.
I think you're both insane. a spindly, gawky tom boyish girl with a butch haircut and the most eligible bachelor on the planet chooses her? one of the most bizarre marriages ever
Yea, but what the hell did she see in him?
@Corno di Bassetto She went to India beginning of 1968 after Sinatra had served her with the divorce papers on the "Rosemary's Baby's" set (November 1967). The divorce was finalised in August 1968 by which time she had fallen briefly for John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas. Her marriage to Frank had lasted little more than one year because she wanted to pursue an independent career. But she also wanted a family and liked older men, because soon after (1969)she met 4 time-Oscar winning music composer & conductor André Previn, who was 40. She got pregnant and in 1970 they got married .
@Corno di Bassetto Do you know what? I find that everybody is so judgemental when it comes to other people's choices! I, who DO have backed out & given up on no mean love interests out of respect for women, am not so judgemental. One can only expect sacrifices from him/herself, I believe. Emotional self-denials are very costly, even on the long term.
Mia was so beautiful and sweet. You can see why Frank fell for head over heels for her.
I'm 67, I remember alot of the shows. Even in the 50s
Frank in full form here: "Baby you can cut my hair anytime" and the way he gives Miss Castle the eye when they shake hands.
It was such a different country I'm 55 and seeing these for the first time. Now there would be lights and sirens and large money exchanges. Here even the stars seem normal.
What a show an all time great.. all on the show were super stars
I had forgotten just how gorgeous Mia Farrow was.
im from san antonio texas! its super cool to hear about the the tower before it was built :)
The beautiful lady barber in this show, Lynn Castle, was the favorite barber and stylist for many diverse celebrities. In addition to Steve Allen (as host John Daly mentions), she cut and styled the hair of musician Del Shannon, the Byrds, Sonny and Cher, Vincent Price, Neil Young, Johnny Mathis, author Ray Bradbury, singer Jim Morrison, songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, and more.
That would explain it. Big hair was also very big in the 60s.
Wow I got a little history lesson just by reading the comments, thank you
Yes same here that's why i always liked reading comments because you never know what you'll find
great episode!
So beautiful then and now
Deba Dev n
I just found this show and it's so crazy to learn and come to enjoy all of these people on here and to learn they have been dead for years and years
The show was on when I was a little girl and watching these here really brings back memories
Mia Farrow is beautiful. Now and then.
Classic. 'You got the same name as mine'
I met Mia's sister, Prudence Bruns. I believe John Lennon wrote a song about her, "Dear Prudence" after they met in India at the Transcendental Retreat with Maharishi. Prudence had so many celeb contacts with her mum and dad in Hollywood that meeting the Beatles didn't really appeal to her.
That was so enjoyable to see. I was a young teen at the time and barely watched this show. My dad was the one that turned the channel, not us kids.
Mia started young on ABC's 20th Century Fox Television production of "Peyton Place". Based on the novel and 20th Century Fox film of the same name, the show ran for 514 episodes, and 5 years, from 1964 to 1969. The program was a trailblazer for Primetime Soaps.
Mia played Allison MacKenzie in episodes 001-263.
The entire series is on TH-cam.
Popular show in it's time.
My older sister used to watch that .
I remember as a little kid when neighbors , relatives , and family would gossip about something going on they would say it was a real Peyton Place .
After seeing this its hard to imagine Mia Farrow could be so good in the Woody Allen films. She was great in Broadway Danny Rose.
Love Mia's haircut...
no one else could pull it off that good
@@cerenb7909 Took the words right out of my mouth but I did like her with longer hair.
She looks like Jean Seberg
I think she had it (haircut) done for "Rosemary's Baby".
@@stevenmacphail1136 Sinatra wanted it. She did it for him well before that 1968 movie.
great and excêllent show, wonderfull!
Sinatra was the epitome of cool. Mia Farrow was the epitome of sweetness.
That was a kick! And, it was interesting reading up on Lynn Castle.
I miss Frank, he was a charming man, loyal to his friends, and truly a Star - both Stage/Singer, and Film.
Great memories -
What's sad is that it took the death of Dorothy Kilgallen before Frank Sinatra would ever appear on the show. He detested her and would never appear while she was a panelist.
I always wondered what he and Mia Farrow ever had in common. It was easily the shortest of his four marriages.
She was beautiful, angelic-looking, talented, obviously had a good sense of humour, was in the business so understood a lot of the requirements & unconventional hours & lifestyle and just so precious and unique. He had talent galore, charisma, a strong male vibe combining sexuality & paternal, protective warmth, and he went after anyone or anything he wanted relentlessly. It was a star-struck marriage sprinkled with lots of fairy dust, permeated with glamour & star power: what's not to love? They were both raised Catholic. I see a lot of sweetness in this union, a desire on his part to start over & mold someone young, fresh and untouched. She could learn so much from him, as he from her, in different ways. He was powerfully magnetic, loyal to his friends, loving, unpredictable, volatile and unique in his field. I see the initial attraction so clearly.
The one with Barbara lasted.
Iiked Dorothy. I wonder why Sinatra didn't
Yep. He was a coward
@@costolokwrote a multi-page story about him and he didn't like it.
I was pretty young when I first heard Mia was dating Frank. I could not comprehend that a girl that young would be with someone so old.
are u from another dimension ?
sfd Me too I couldn't bear to be young with so old man, unless powerful and generous
Wow this show was on 16 years wow. I recently watched one with lucy ,& desi. Ronan farrows dad is so handsome . Love old blue eyes. So cute she wrote mia sinatra.
ive got the feeling that being married to sinatra for two years was an epic ADVENTURE for miss farrow!
id love to read her own FULL account...
Phyllis Newman Outfit rocks ! Love it 😍😍💞💞💞 I think she is so special and cute!
Mia Farrow went from a stunner like Frank Sinatra to Woody Allen. I wonder what happened there.
Good to see Mark Goodson - Very classy guy.
Another one with a huge ego. I far prefer Todman.
“And this is how Ronan Farrow came to be….”
she went there
Read Ronans book he wrote, he admitted that Frank was NOT his father.
Ava Gardner on Sinatra's marriage to Mia Farrow: "I always knew he would marry a boy"! Ha! That was then!!
great show
This is my absolute favorite "What's My Line?" of all time.
Yeah this is probably my favorite one also
Color me shocked to see Sinatra on this show. Because...ok, this show only recently started appearing in my recommended...and, I’ve been drawn in to watch a few. One being (according to video description and comments) from the actual day before Dorothy Kilgallen was found, dead. And the comments compelled me to look up the circumstances surrounding her death. And, from doing so, I learned about the hostility b/w Dorothy and Sinatra...and how he would make fun of her appearance during his live shows. And that he was callous about her death, as well. Not that he had anything to do with it, of course. But still...I just find his being on the show afterwards, in which she starred for 15 years, a bit weird. And everyone was friendly, naturally. But did they not know how badly he was insulting Dorothy while she was alive?
This show was WAY before my time but I LOVE watching this show
You could never fully take away the crude Jersey Joe from Frank.
Im surprised Sinatra agreed to be on this show. Cool!
He appeared after Dorothy's passing. They didn't like each other. That might be the reason why he agreed to be on the show.
Arlene Francis is 59 here. She was born in 1907. 59!!!
Frank Sinatra was very comfortable with saying, “Get out!”
@kimariokiji I woulda bin saying it to him.Great singer, good actor but after that, meh....
GAWD! We NEED this show on again, puh-leez.
It wouldn't be the same they're all dead!
How about reruns
Frank wasn't about to admit he did have a bald head.
As Mia Farrow departed, I thought... Frank should've asked her to take his place on the panel for the next guest (so she could partake in the fun) - now that would have been 'class'
And their son Ronan Farrow is beautiful and brilliant.
@Dumb Freddy There is a very good rumor that Frank is the father.
@Dumb Freddy PLUS, Frank supposedly had a vasectomy long before!!
@Sarah, Rumor? Straight from Mia! How is that a rumor?
You are high if you don't get it. Come on , look at his fucking face. He's a Xerox
Ronan is absolutely, 100% Franks son.
Mia was just 21 in this!
"You sing, you've got hair and you're not on television...
...why?"
Good question honestly.
Nearly 50 years ago... wau how time flies!
I guess it means we've all been having fun
Frank Sinatra was such a fantastic, extremely talented huge star in a galaxy of stars. I really don't think that there'll ever be anyone to come close to Sinatra. I am honored to have grown up in the latter half of his life. He was a real man's man who could really walk the walk.
He was a larger-than-life legend yes extremely talented but far from perfect
What is a "man's man" ?
Well said…no Dino but he did have a certain style that endeared him with the public.
@@cellom.9227 Someone doing favors for mafia.!
I imagine the caterer Frank was looking for had already been fitted with a pair of cement shoes.
Rosemary's baby marked my life. Such a masterpiece.
"Hail Satan!!" = That scene just cracks me up!! LoL
Mia Is introduced as "Mia Farrow" while She signs her Name as "Mia Sinatra "!!! Im sure frank knew she was on the show !!!
"Do you drink kid?" 😂😂 what The heck, Frank?
I am getting addicted to "WML"
I Really love it...
I was going through a tough time in my life several years ago and I was so happy to discover these gems! I was instantly "hooked" and have always enjoyed watching these! I miss shows like these!
I was suffering from insomnia several years ago and that is when I discovered this show. I have been hooked ever since! : )
One of the few shows that has me smiling from start to end!
You are not alone. They are therapeutic to watch.
Mia Farrow was a goddess. One of a kind. I think she is one of the few ladies I Actually loved with that short hair. (Personal choice, I love long hair). And a great actress.
Mark introduced Arlene like she was some old war horse.
I think Arlene felt it too.
One of the main reasons Frank sinatra never appeared on the show in it's 16 years was due to his bitter rivalry and dislike of Miss Kilgallen, she sadly passed away just over a year before this.
Arlene Francis took a dig at Frank a bit when Mia Farrow came over to greet them all on her way out and Arlene said "You look 4 years old"...... She took a shot at Sinatra for dating & marrying someone who was 30 years his junior. He was 51 and she was 21 but he had seen her since she was 16 or something along those lines (can't remember exactly). But it was a HUGE gap and Arlene was going to have none of it. She was very rooted in her beliefs even if it was Frank Sinatra.
Dorothy Kilgallen took an inside scoop of him. Didn't even show up until after her death.
Arlene was perfectly right.That marriage lasted 2 years.
I absolutely adore Frank Sinatra! Love the guy. That's how men acted back then. But he is a good guy and a hell of a talent. Mia loved him and Frank loved her. It is a fact that he told a friend later in life that "Mia is the most wonderful person I have ever known". I believe he had regrets on letting go of her. I think he acted tough because this is the time he was in. But deep down he had very deep feelings. He also had a big heart. Ask his friends.
Not all men, his rudenss and cheating and hard drinkinking got him arrested and what not., Our own John Daly and Bennett Cerf were great male examples. Bign Crosby as well. Animation's best, Walt Disney, who died that year (in 1966), was the best gentleman.
@@SteveCarras Bing Crosby was horrible to his kids. And possibly his wife. I never said Frank didn't have times he wasn't at his best. However, he had a huge heart. He acted tough but deep down, he was a teddy bear. A Gentleman to me was Jimmy Stewart. Frank was no Jimmy Stewart. But I never claimed he was.
Mia Farrow was not the only one on "Peyton Place" with a Roman Polanski connection. Barbara Parkins who starred as Betty Anderson for the whole run, starred with Sharon Tate in "Valley of the Dolls". Tate played her signature role of Jennifer North in that film.
And Parkins attended the wedding of Roman & Sharon in January 1968.
Great questions about Sinatra being bald! In fact he wore a toupee for most of his career.
Frank shooting his shot with Lynn Castle while his newly young wife Mia Farrow is also on the show lol priceless 😂 always a ladies man. What a fun show!
THE BEST EPISODE I've watched so far ! 👍😂 Didn't Mr.Sinatra was SO FUNNY !?!? "The 🐀 pack ??? " All ABOUT bars & Partying !?!?!?
IVAN HORVAT. trying to sustain his ego image..
Bennett and Arlene knew in 2 seconds. The others were lost and Sinatra didn't even disguise his voice.
That was Frankie deliberately dodging Miss Kilgallen: "Are you by any chance affiliated with the Kosher Nostra?" might have proven just a tad too embarrassing for prime time TV... :-D
