It certainly is apparant that Hermionie Gingold was a wonderful and much loved lady. I wish there were more programs available on U-tube. She lived to be 89...

Hermione was a true original talent, unfortunately in too few productions. I enjoy her tremendously in the few remaining snippets such as 'Bell Book and Candle'.

[@fidobarks]

loooooooooooove her !!

Thank you so much for that link Charlotte. A lovely bit of family history and of course the first time I have seen Mother's much beloved Stephen....ever!

I love that they gave the stars gifts, as if they needed anything.

This episode aired in 1961. It's easy to discern that from the commercial about the new NBC series "87th Precinct", which made its debut on 9-25-1961.

Chris Rogers That would be great.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

+Chris Rogers is her sons still alive??

[@aeichler]

Do you have a link to your friend's recording and/or blog about Hermione?

[@randysills4418]

In reading an obituary of Hermione Gingold I found that her sons both pre-deceased her, sadly!

[@John_13_35]

Hermione, if you're listening, I heard Groucho's still looking for your private home number.

[@aeichler]

Hermione was always listed in the phone book. True!

[@fidobarks]

gosh imagine, being the son of ms gingold. lucky !!!

[@debbieanne7962]

Have you read her autobiography 'growing old disgracefully '. From what I recall having read it years ago she didn't have much to do with her children when they were growing up, hence not knowing their birth dates. Highly recommended. She was one classy and funny lady

Delightful!

[@joef3850]

Did I hear her call Billy Dewolfe "her sister"? At 26:05.

[@mov1ngforward]

[@MrJoeybabe25]

This Is Your Life went off the air in 1961. Is this the wrong date or a special?

[@aeichler]

It might be one of the last shows. I'm not sure of exact air date, but she talks about "The Music Man".

[@MrJoeybabe25]

Right. They were filming it, so it may have been 1961. I dunno.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Wow gretchin franklin ethel skinner from east-enders

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Is any of her sons still alive???

[@michaelmantle6043]

BlytheWorld1972 "Is" you an English major? Priceless.

[@michaelmantle6043]

daniel stanwyck Yes. Thank you for recognizing it.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

fuck face

[@randysills4418]

Her sons were born in the early to mid 1920s. I know that one of her sons died in the 1960s, sadly. I don't know about the other one...

The beginning of deception through tv programming. Hermione has very masculine features if you look closely.
