    Every entertainment show needs a star. John and Dorothy were terrific, but they were primarily journalists. Bennett Cerf was an accomplished book publisher. Good people all, and a great fit for WML, but none of them had star quality.
    The star of this show, for 17 years, was without a doubt Miss Arlene Francis. It's sad that America doesn't seem to produce intelligent, classy, and witty people like her anymore. At least, the entertainment business doesn't.

    Arlene's father, Aram Kazanjian, was Armenian, originally from the Ottoman Empire; when her dad was in France, Arlene's grandparents perished as victims of the Hamidian Massacres (1894 -- 1896). Her dad then took the family to Massachusetts, where Arlene was born, and later to Manhattan, New York.

I have purchased vintage items in the past and they’re so special to find in good shape, wearable shape. Such simple elegance in those well made, tailored clothes. People don’t know what that is now, to wear clothing that’s tailored, fitted, well made. Yes indeed, sadly, long ago times. At least some of us can fondly remember those days, and hear their whispers. Blessings, friend.

    Question: was the show done with no rehearsal or the panel not having any prior information? If so, their quick wit and humor are amazing! I am too young to remember the show but my folks remember it well and each panelist. From my perspective WML seems like an anomaly for the time period and something which would not exist in the real world of the 50s and 60s. Dressy and polite NYC society interacted on the same level as regular folks. African American guests appeared and shook hands with the white panelists. And the show beamed across the country where it was a huge hit for many years. I am not sure how the producers pulled it off and why the show was so well accepted by average Americans, but it was pure genius!

    • @teddytodorova
      @teddytodorova  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Very nice said. I think one of the reason the show is loved so much is the chemistry between the panelists.
      The show is not rehearsed and the panel is not given prior information. Although some people think it is, I find it very stupid idea. There's no point for a show like this to be prepared in advanced. Plus all of the contestants get the 50 dollars anyway and the cards are only for following the Yes and No-s.

    From my acquaintance with showbiz history, I get the same vibe from Arlene as from those two buddies, Anita Loos and Adele Astaire. Charming, feminine but risque when it suits the company; capable of fusillades of impromptu wit but kindly with it. The sort of dame who always lifts spirits and stays classy. Unlike those two other American mistresses of repartee, Mae West and Dorothy Parker, they were never mean bc they were less wrapped up in themselves.

    I saw a young Arlene in All My Sons, with Edward G. Robinson. She only had a small part, but she was hot and sexy. Nobody ever aged more wonderfully.

    I appeared on her radio show from Sardi's in 1989. She was very sweet and personable. I asked about the diamond heart necklace she always wore from her husband, Martin. Someone ripped it from her throat and ran off.

    WHAT'S AMAZING ABOUT THIS SHOW WAS IT'S POPULARITY AND RATINGS IN ITS TIMESLOT...
    SUNDAY NITE @ 10:30 PM.
    IT GOT SO POPULAR THAT ITS FIRST SPONSOR COULDN'T AFFORD TO CONTINUE BECAUSE OF WML's

    I feel the only thing you could have done differently is play the Groucho Marx introduction of Arlene.

    Love Arlene on WML? Watched all shows that Gary put on YT in order and got my wife a diamond heart necklace for our 25th anniversary and presented it to her in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle in Disneyland. Too bad Arlene's was snatched off her neck getting out of a cab in the 80s.

    Not a particularly beautiful woman, but her warmth, charm, and impeccable style made her seem so.

    She seemed a very nice woman and attractive. Hair style makes a lot of difference.
