She was so taciturn and reserved (a product of her deep Southern upbringing, no doubt) you almost couldn't hear her. THIS to me is the definition of "charming." One of the sweetest young women I've ever seen or heard in any venue. If all women in the South had her personality and character, that would be the ONLY thing that would entice me to move to the South.

Candy Sheridan was born Juanita Frech in Paris, Tennessee. She got the name Candy due to her looks. Was originally married to a Mr Lee. Married in Charleston, he worked in Charleston and Memphis until they moved to Galena, Alaska. She started work than as a weatherwoman with a GS-3 rating. Worked there until her husband was killed in a hunting accident, at which point she returned with her son to Tennessee. At the time of the show she was married to a Mr Sheridan, an aircraft communications specialist with the Civil Aeronautics Administration (precursor the FAA), and as stated in the show currently stationed at Nantucket now at a GS-5. Her duties included sending helium air balloons to 100,000 ft where in her words "Boom! They explode.", and drawing weather maps. --- paraphrasing from "The New Yorker" December 19, 1953 pp 21-22.

@philippapay43524 жыл бұрын
@@shirleyrombough8173 Being old enough to have been alive to watch the originals and being a language major, I fear that the situation with "man" was a double-edged sword at the time. While it is true that the "nature of man" generally meant mankind because it was a social science, if not hard science construct, the names airman, mailman, fireman, etc., did not really. The armed services were not anticipating women warriors, so had not prepared to call people simply flyers or sailors, etc. Likewise, mail carriers and firefighters had not been considered because few outside of the feminist movement had anticipated women doing such jobs regularly. Paid work of certain types was for men and others for women. So, WML continues to utilize job descriptions such as male nurse or lady barber or lady butcher or lady cop or male secretary, when each of those lines of work was adequately described without the modifier noting the sex of the worker in front of it. The airman and similar designations in the military were retained, at least for a time, because it was too cumbersome and expensive to change all the tons of paperwork before knowing how the experiment with women in such posts would work out. My father was a supply officer in the Navy and an economics professor at a university, so knew of these things. He shared when questioned because they had not occurred to him as odd. I, personally, think the name of the job should describe the tasks being done while never strangulating the language. That became a bit of a problem for a period of time after these had aired with all sorts of lengthy descriptions that tagged either "man" or "woman" onto the end. It got silly. One who fishes is a fisher. Sufficient. It's even in the Bible. I suspect that meteorologists always had trouble with "weathermen" being assumed to be meteorologists when they were merely weather readers. I understood from one in my city that this designation was accidental because at the TV channels and radio stations they were all talking heads, whether hard news, sports, society gossip, weather, and they read the news in their area or predictions that came over the wires from those in the field they handled. So, when even folks at home began calling weather readers (before there were actual meteorologists in those jobs) merely weathermen it stuck because back in my friend's day they were all men. It was before the attractive busty blonde phase and the phases following it. So there's midshipman and there's sailor. One costs a lot of money to fix.

Sho' 'nuff, I found Mrs. Candi Sheridan absolutely delightful. While she admitted to being very nervous (as I can imagine many of the challengers were), she had an amazing capacity to be very forthright at the same time as being very soft spoken. And yet despite the softness of her voice, the panel seemed to hear all her answers clearly. That wasn't always the case with non-celebrity challengers. Watching her, I would describe her as a woman in the positive sense of the phrase that "butter wouldn't melt in her mouth." Although they spelled her first name "Candy", Mrs. Sheridan was the subject of _The New Yorker_ magazine column "Talk of the Town" by John McCarten in the Dec. 19, 1953 issue. Apparently because Nantucket was a cozy place where the rich and famous often vacationed, she occasionally had the opportunity to hobnob with such folks. I can't link to the entire article because I would have to subscribe to their website for $1 a month to retrieve it, but this excerpt was interesting to me: Talk. Interview with Candy Sheridan, a weatherwoman in Nantucket, who has been with the U.S. Weather Bureau since 1947. One night the writer found himself sharing a table with Candy, Tim Costello & Burl Ives. Candy's first husband Mr. Lee, was a weatherman & she worked with him in weather bureaus in Charleston, Memphis and then Alaska.

Since he was not asked for specifics, he was able to choose one and say "no," even though the panel was obviously thinking of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. That's why the whispered conference and why John said it, "suddenly got more interesting."

The first contestant had a very good poker face...except for those occasions she did not. Arlene got credit for guessing the line, even though she indicated the man was involved with 'making or selling' the product - with other contestants, the panelist would have to also guess if the contestant made or sold the product.

You don't see many monocles these days. I never understood why anyone would wear one as it just seems eyeglasses would be easier. Even if you only needed vision help in one of the lens. A monocle just seems like continued effort.
@loissimmons65588 жыл бұрын
A monocle was often something of an affectation. And there was some class distinction in monocles. The wealthy could afford to have them custom made and therefore would fit them well enough that under most circumstances they would not fall out. That wouldn't be as true for those who could not afford a custom made monocle. Even so, a common comedy device was to have a snobbish wealthy man be so shocked or surprised that his monocle would fall off and fall someplace interesting (someone's drink perhaps) and fall on the floor and break. Raising one's eyebrows too high is one of the ways a monocle is likely to fall out.

Lois Simmons Monocles for stuffy wealthy men were also ideal in pie fights on screen, in the 3 Stooges Genre, almost as great as those eyeglasses on sticks that the rich dowagers used.

I wondered the same. Did people only have one bad eye that required a monocle? Then I read an article about a German man who wore his monocle on his good eye so as to force his bad eye to improve.
