Talented relatives of celebrities appear on "I've Got a Secret" (February 26, 1958)

[@EPBF1]

Dean Martin mother so beautiful and like any mother made sure she called out her son for not visiting her😂😂😂😂😂Momma I do the same lol❤❤❤

[@annemccarron2281]

These old shows are so entertaining. They show you how much society has progressed in many ways and digressed in other ways.

[@dinahbrown902]

Mostly digressed

[@1158scott]

Not digressed, regressed.

[@lyndachabane1931]

Times were so different in those days. So polite, well spoken, with poise and elegance.... how we have lost those attributes in today's age 😥

[@sidhayes6168]

Perhaps but much is still around.

[@patriciaschuster1371]

Could not do this today. Too calm. Loved this show early on.

[@magoo9767]

Loved Dino's mom...reminds me of the ladies in my neighborhood when I was a kid, what a neat lady!

[@longhairdon]

To think that a carton of Winston's was a prize really shows how things have changed

[@debbieflaherty1975]

Perfect gift for someone with Pleurisy!!

[@MarkLucasProductions]

These old shows really give me a warm feeling. I always smile a lot. It's not just that they were running when I was a young boy (although that may be part of it) but just the personalities - I'm surprised at how genuine they so often appear to be.

[@njgator96]

I spit out my drink when he said here is your cash prize and two cartons of Winston. Classic!!!

[@ruthannmeachamswain9391]

Especially since Dean Martin’s mom had pleurisy!

[@marianlyons5130]

And he said he was 43, I thought he was much older.

[@loramcityre3873]

I did the same!!!

[@rosered103]

Wow! who knew. Love Dean Martin's mother and all the other lovely ladies and handsome gents.

[@snookumsjack]

Yul Brynner's Sister, WOW! The only photo I had ever seen was when she was a small child beside her young Brother. Thank you so much for posting!

[@LaurindaRoy]

I was just 5 yrs old when my mom, Vera, was on this show. I can't remember at that age if I actually watched it. It was so wonderful to see this clip! Many thanks for sharing this!

[@kellylynneden1977]

LaurindaRoy is your mom still living?

[@decline2state]

@@kellylynneden1977, she died at age 51 in 1967. Did she die because she smoked a carton too many of those Winstons?

[@xenakiddle]

I’m so happy this exists for you to see now!!

[@amethystanne4586]

Your mother was lovely! I admired your uncle’s talent.

[@LaurindaRoy]

@@decline2state She did not smoke. But Yul was a smoker and died @ 65 from lung cancer. And, of course, that PSA “Just don’t smoke!” Did they use the Magnificent 7 theme for the Winston commercial? (Have to see if I can find it on youtube.) I can’t recall.

[@lindaschaefer5499]

I have seen this video before. I watched it again just so I could watch Yul Brynner's sister. Her talent is hypnotic.

[@joecaroselli5858]

Very fun episode. Worth mentioning how excellent the orchestra is in accompanying some of the guests. Live TV is challenging, but these musicians were the best in the NY area; so they could deliver. Superb!

[@rosicrosslin1867]

Love this and love when people had fun and talk to each other.

[@debbiefranks9606]

Yes let's bring it back

[@graperonto]

The woman reading the income tax form sadly... is absolutely HILARIOUS!

I know! All three of them cracked me up lol

Tara Standifer Me, too! They were great!

[@celtglen]

She read the form sadly or her comedy was sad?

[@SailorYuki]

@@celtglen she read the tax for in a given mood, which for her was sad. The other had love and anger respectively.

[@lindascoville5837]

And a carton of Winstons for each of you! How times have changed!

[@robbinruffino1201]

Betsy Palmer is known as Jason Voorhees’ mother in Friday the 13th movies and was the last survivor of the original I’ve Got a Secret panel (died 2015) Also, Judy Lewis was Loretta Young’s and Clark Gable’s daughter and you can see the resemblance of both!

[@staffy4389]

Compared to the crap on television these days , this was real entertainment 👏👏👏

[@deathwitheponine]

"She's had the pleurisy..." and then she walks out with a carton of winstons. holy toledo the past was surely something.

[@SueH57]

And Yul Brynner's sister got a carton, too. Yul later died of lung cancer and before his death warned people not to smoke. The American Cancer Society turned that film clip into a powerful ad after his death. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH_NpqGijLp9gKs

[@zoowriter4654]

I don’t think there was much known about the connection between smoking and health problems at that time. Most or all of the medical doctors at our clinic had packs of cigarettes in their shirt pockets. They quit when it became obvious that smoking could cause health problems.

[@deathwitheponine]

@@zoowriter4654 yes I remember learning about doctors actually telling pregnant women to take up smoking to curb food cravings, I was just remarking on how different things are now. Same thing with the radium girls.

[@Michael.Chapman]

Growing up, smoking from age 12, watching my heavy smoking 59 year old grandmother die of lung cancer, the controversy was always “is there actual proof smoking causes cancer”… Later it was revealed that the tobacco industry had deliberately hidden the damaging truth from the public in the interests of sales and profits.

[@dinahbrown902]

Life was good. We just didn’t put two and two together very well 🤣

[@lindachavezw...246]

This was an amazing episode! I loved it!!

[@seeleygirl6178]

Dean Martin loved his mom so much. He died on the same date as her. Christmas Eve. Different years.

[@bostonblackie9503]

I thought he died Christmas Day and it was his mother-in-law, who lived with the family, died on Christmas Day a few years before.

[@feralbluee]

Ms. Q is such a good singer - what a voice! she must be in opera, too.

[@bonniepawson8840]

I saw Yul Brynner on stage doing the play "King and I". WoW what a performance !!! He passed not to long after from cancer. He made a don't smoke commerical that ran for only a year after his death. He was my most fav of all actors. He was such a kind man.

[@jackiecanning468]

He was obnoxious and a creep. I worked at a dinner theater and he did The King and I. His dressing room was re-done every single week because he wanted everything to be in brown, from tan to dark brown, including the walls and bathroom towels. So obnoxious.

[@dotmoore7328]

This was one of my favorite shows when we got our first tv. That tells my age

[@DottyGale8]

Gary’s dancing was beautiful! I loved that!

[@danieldawg100]

Dean Martin’s mother should have received the full money prize since the audience reaction gave the answer away.

[@linasaidso1355]

How did they not get it from "pasta fagioli is the correct pronunciation of pasta fazool"? If it weren't for "That's Amore", most Americans wouldn't have known what pasta fazool was! :D

[@miss_midge_]

Hayworth's two were great dancers.

[@jubalcalif9100]

They really were....but then the whole family danced for a living ! Rita's parents were professional dancers and she even became her dad's dancing partner when she became a teenager.

[@eviesmail5447]

They were rehearsed mercilessly

[@jacquelinebell6201]

Thoroughly enjoyed this show. And Gary dancing was amazing.

[@deaded5040]

Only a professional actress make you laugh hysterically while reading the income tax report sounding like they're about to burst into tears

[@ravenzyblack]

Her biological father was Clark Gable. Her mother was Loretta Young. Her biological aunt was married to Ricardo Montalban.

[@nancybarot565]

Made me think of my parents and what they were most likely watching when they were these actor and actresses age and sitting around watching “I’ve Got A Secret”! I think I was born too late. I love watching the movies and performers of that era.

[@PK-bh1ww]

I'm a "boomer" so I watched it as a kid. It's just as interesting now as it was then. :-)

[@qtpysusie54]

Judy still did not know Clark Gable was her father.

[@myname7056]

qtpysusie54 Same with Erik Preminger, Otto Preminger’s son by Gypsy Rose Lee. When he was on To tel, the truth, he was asked how many kids he had. If I’d been on I would’ve said “I think you ought to reconsider that answer.”

[@cynthiasnyder1561]

i remember when Yul Brynner played Jean Lafitte in a movie. i was about 11 and i saved a magazine picture of him labelled - Yul Brynner with Hair. LOL. he was gorgeous. oh, and, of course, a very good actor! 😊

Everyone has to die. At least he died from something that gave him pleasure.

@Just a Girl Cancer is not too enjoyable.

[@rrgomes]

You're very welcome. One of the reasons that I like to post things of this vintage is that once in a while family members of participants find them and enjoy them. So I guess this means that Yul Brynner was your uncle?

[@LKKruse]

It is surprising that Melinda Markey was mentioned as the daughter of Joan Bennett, but not Gene Markey. In several interviews, Melinda has said after her parents' divorce, she rarely ever saw her mother, and considered her stepmother Hedy Lamarr more as a mother to her. Melinda still occasionally shows up in Austria, visiting her half-brother.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

why is that surprising? she WAS the daughter of Joan Bennett ... the show wasn't about children who have unresolved issues with their mothers and step-mothers, was it? Gene Markey was only married to Hedy Lamarr for 2 years, so I doubt your claim the she won the mother-of-the-year prize with regard to her step-daughter could be true especially since Hedy's own children have publically said she was a distant mother figure and she was completely estranged from her eldest son for over 50 years Where do you get this stuff??

[@Sylvander1911]

Since they all knew Joan, she was the one mentioned. Her father was not as well known as her mother. Only in rare instances are writers and producers as well known as the actresses they are married to (and he was married to three star actresses before his final wife (and wife at the time of broadcast)) who was known largely only ion horse circles.

Cartons of cigarettes were prizes, etc. on just about every game show,along with being very prominent in most TV shows. I grew up in a smoking house and have never in my whole (75+ year) life even tried to smoke!!! It was very accepted back then - my Mom had COPD when she passed!!!

[@Ceelle2]

Only a Mama would share the exact number of weeks she has seen her baby. LOL. Her mother was by birth Loretta Young (though they said she was adopted) and her father Clark Gable.
