Best Celebrity Moments of What's My Line Part 2

[@H.pylori]

As I wipe away the nostalgic tears, as a child of the 1950s I grew up with TV and these people. What nice entertainment and great actors. Pure entertainment without nudity, car crashes and fake super heroes. Our time has passed. The memories endure. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

*Dorothy Kilgallen wasn't a mega beauty in the classic sense but she was gorgeous to me. She wasn't just pretty but she was also highly intelligent , witty and classy. A 💎 of a woman. I wish I could travel back in time to meet her and the rest of the panel.*

[@FirstLast-pm4rh]

Glenn Hoddle I can't tell you how many baby boomers have said Dorthy Kilgallen was one of their first or oldest memorable crushes. I think she was pretty enterprising and untraditional in the 1950s expectations of women sense. That's pretty cool. May be wrong about that though.

[@RedcoatsReturn]

Glenn Hoddle Me too! I could protect her from being murdered ...a great and evil tragedy of that time!

[@kelloggs5473]

@Redcoat’s Return - A possible exhumation of Dorothy’s body from Gate of Heaven Cemetery is the latest approach that her biographer Mark Shaw has taken during his long campaign to give her justice. Dr. Cyril Wecht has promised to examine her body for DNA that a murderer might have left behind. Dr. Wecht has served as a consultant on investigations into many other unsolved deaths including the death of JonBenet Ramsey. Me, I feel Mark Shaw could spend his time more productively if he allied himself with a member of the United States Senate or House of Representatives so they can petition the FBI and CIA to declassify all documents. Mark should fight for the release of every document that mentions Dorothy’s name and every document that mentions Ron Pataky’s name. You are familiar with him, I presume.

@gcjerryusc Perhaps true, but it was honestly no picnic to be black back then.

They had to work twice as hard as men and still got paid less, plus that glass ceiling was real and it was much lower then. That era was better in many ways but not every way Let's be honest and not idealize it.
