PASSWORD 1963-07-15 Betsy Palmer & E.G. Marshall

[@cmillerg6306]

Both the stars are very involved, so seem down to-earth. Especially E.G... He gets happy when his partner wins. And yes... He even touches! (Horrors in the 21st century!)

[@alanhumphrey4198]

I always love Betsy Palmer's toothy smile!!

[@elspethcoogan1499]

Betsy radiated a beauty that, in my mind at least, outshone most of the supposed glamour girls of the time.

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

So her being the most annoying person in the world means nothing to you? (even ALLEN was frustrated with her)!!

[@scottrogers7242]

@@KristaBrewer-rq7mo That is true. The time limit means nothing to her.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Actual lawyers approving of a show about lawyers is a real tribute to the writers of the series.

[@pfflyer3381]

It's a very good show!

[@orbitalsatellite]

A mommie dearest for the ages. It's unfortunate how actors who were once known for serious parts end up becoming infamous in (arguably) lesser, albeit legendary roles.

[@JJJBRICE]

Ms Palmer was befriended by older actress Joan Crawford in the movie they made together so she had to have a tough core .

[@kennethcamilleri4678]

Betsy Palmer was the mother of Jason from the first of many Friday the 13th movies….she makes her first appearance towards the end of the first movie….

[@tapeduk]

Betsy Palmer= Friday the 13

[@timothywills7709]

Sam looked excited about that watch.

[@lawsonj39]

This is the first time I've heard what the "fine gift" is that losers get. A watch. Fine indeed.

[@kristabrewer9363]

What is with Besty Palmer. Alan must have been getting ticked off with her!!

[@elspethcoogan1499]

Krista Brewer Betsy was way ahead of her time. She didn’t conform to the stiff, regimented norm whereby most celebrities on the show (particularly in the beginning) would comply with the rules of the game. Carol Channing was another guest on the show who would often flout the rules, much to Allen Ludden’s chagrin, whilst remaining friendly with her. I think It added unintentional humour to the proceedings, and personally endeared me to Betsy and Carol.

[@hudsony777]

I think it's frustrating and you just do what you think you should. No one here graduated Password U.

[@jeffminor1583]

Possibly an alcoholic or maybe a pregnant mother who was, as in FAS child, in my opinion, most of the signs are there. Sad

Huh??

[@jadenmuniz8817]

@@alanhumphrey4198 Long story short, GSN creates idents, shuffles them, and plays them according to time remaining before the next show, from 5 to 16 seconds.

[@Ed3737]

Betsy did cheat when she predicated her "Tonsils" clue with "what would we call those things." Betcha the producers ended up giving EG's partner $250 as well. Especially after Allen's strange ramblings about lawyers.

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

She also deliberately cheated when she said to the contestant, "Did you say milk or melt?"

[@jimmybrice6360]

betsy seems like a real nice lady. but she cant seem to stop talking. i have seen her now on several episodes. the guy would not have gotten tonsils, if she hadnt said what are those things called. allen is not able to control the cheating - it is the worst part of the show

[@frankieaddams3937]

Sorry, but she's very annoying at times.

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

:( I know. It's Allen's show, and yet he can't even control it. And then we have Betsy on every single episode she's on being EXTREMELY annoying. Allen COULD have controlled that by not having her back, but for some reason, he always did

[@jimmybrice6360]

@@KristaBrewer-rq7mo hi krista, i doubt if ludden had much to say about who is on the panel. that would have been the owners of the show making those decisions. and they probably told allen to put up with them, cuz they brought the viewers in. i dont really blame ludden, as he probably did not have any more he was able to do. but it sorta reminds me of slapping a kid's hand, and telling him not to do it again - like that really works - LOL

[@susanrutherford866]

Betsy cheats she just hands down cheats !!!!

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

she did it TWICE!

[@pfflyer3381]

Man of his time allen,what do you do in your spare time... I'm a teacher!! I have a job ,just like the men who you ask what do you do? Allen ! also woman aren't girls. Got it Allen? That a boy!!!

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

It wasn’t derogatory, it’s the times, back then it was quite normal for the woman to stay home and bring up the kids etc and the man brought in the money. One of the reasons a lot of kids are off the rails today is because both parents work and don’t put in the time to bring the kids up like it used to be.

[@pfflyer3381]

[@TheGamecock366]

I know this may be a strange thing to say, but looking at Betsy Palmer, I'd say that if she'd been a pro wrestler instead of an actress, she'd have made an excellent heel

[@hudsony777]

She has the build for a wrestler. It would be nice if she had worn gloves during a match.

[@TheGamecock366]

@@hudsony777 I wonder what she would have used as a finisher. Sleeper hold maybe?

[@hudsony777]

@@TheGamecock366 I'm not sure, but she could have starred in the sequel to "Wrestling Women vs The Aztec Mummy" a classic of Mexican cinema.

[@donaldstanfield8862]

Why was Betsy wearing gloves?

[@hudsony777]

Ladies sometimes wore gloves then.

[@sst568]

Covid?

[@waldolydecker8118]

She figured the gloves would disguise her illegal hand gestures

[@jeffminor1583]

I’m wondering if Betsey Palmer was an alcoholic….

[@waldolydecker8118]

If you had a conversation with her, you undoubtedly would have known - she habitually talks so much about stuff she shouldn't that in due time she probably would have told you herself.

[@kokoken1]

I don't like the way Betsy plays the game. "What do you call those things?" as a preamble.

[@lawsonj39]

She sure gave some poor clues in the lightning round...and took forever to think of them.

[@waldolydecker8118]

She is a habitual cheat with her constant comments and intentional preambles, but everyone thinks she's so cute and lovable doing it - except the poor contestant on the other side who gets cheated out of a fair chance to win the money. You can only hope the show invited the contestant back after Betsy was gone.

[@erikkrauss2]

She's such a cheater. My least favorite password celebrity.
