Bennett makes a reference to John not having run a mile under 4 minutes. The day before this program aired, at the British Commonwealth Games in Vancouver, Roger Bannister and John Landy of Australia were pitted against each other for the first time. At the time, they were the only two who had run the mile in under 4 minutes and Landy was the current world record holder. Although he didn't set a new world record in the process, Bannister ran his faster time ever in beating Landy in a race that was called "The Miracle Mile". When Roger Bannister was the first to accomplish a sub-4 minute mile in May 1954, he didn't do so in a major sports stadium. Rather it was at modest Iffley Road Stadium, the home facility for Oxford University in athletics (track and field) and association football (soccer). While Bannister was no longer a student at Oxford when he ran the historic race, he had been one in 1949 when he was elected President of the Oxford University Athletic Club and led the effort to replace the bumpy, uneven track with a state of he art (for its day) facility. It's highly doubtful that Bannister would have considered competing on that track in his quest for the record if it had not been upgraded. Because of my past association with Cornell University track and field, I was fortunate to actually walk on the very same track on which Bannister set the record at Oxford. I was there in 1974, two years before they upgraded the track to a synthetic surface. When I was there, it was still a dirt/cinder track: state of the art in 1954. The running track portion of the stadium has since been renamed for Bannister. Sir Roger Bannister, MD recently celebrated his 88th birthday in March 2017, but is suffering from Parkinson's Disease.

I had to look up Eva Gabor's height because she looked so petite when she shook hands with Bennett Cerf and Steve Allen, both of whom were tall. She was 5 ft. 2-1/2 in. tall (158.75 cm), 12-1/2 inches (31.75 cm) shorter than Steve Allen and 10-1/2 inches (26.67 cm) shorter than Bennett Cerf. So a rather petite woman, I'd say. Based on the way she answered the questions, I think she was pretty smart, too, and obviously had a good command of English. I think she knew how to use her Hungarian accent to convey a certain personality on which she capitalized. By all accounts, Eva Gabor was a very nice woman who was very well-liked by the people she worked with as an actress. I think she had a good sense of humor -- I think that was required when she played "Lisa Douglas" on "Green Acres" for six seasons.

[@loissimmons6558]

She was adorably delightful on Green Acres as well as being gorgeous - especially for someone in her mid-40's to early 50's during the run of the show. She displayed outstanding comedic timing on that show, a surrealistic spin off of Petticoat Junction (or perhaps the PJ writers on heavy drugs). But all terribly frustrating to her usually logical husband, Oliver. I say usually logical because what attorney would buy the Haney place unseen except one whose eyes were clouded by an overly romanticized and idealized view of the American farmer. Lisa would say the most outrageous and nonsensical things and then one of the local people would repeat them as if everybody knew about that (except for Kate who was always very sensible). And Eva and Eddie Albert had remarkable chemistry together. My two favorite parts of Green Acres were Oliver trying to explain the electrical system to Eva (which required nothing more difficult then adding and making sure the total didn't exceed 7) so they didn't blow a "foose", and the time the selvage (for want of a better term) from Lisa's pancakes (stamped out with a "pot's cover") replaced the broken head gasket on Oliver's truck. And regarding her accent, Lisa would sometimes remark that she had trouble with her "woulbe-U's" and her "wees". +ToddSF 94109 Being a Californian who has lived in both the southern and northern part of the state, did you ever notice that in central California there is both a Pixley and a Porterville in fairly close proximity to each other. (The Cannonball would have had a run of about 12 miles.) Of course Porterville's name had to be altered slightly to fit in with the presence of the Bradley sisters: Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo and Betty Jo, not to mention Bea Benaderet's ample charms.

[@robdewey317]

Lois Simmons I think Eva is very underrated. Her timing in comedy is amazing. She's a hoot in interviews. Highly successful business person as well

[@ChristopherUSSmith]

ToddSF 94109 I can still hear her voice saying "This has been a Filmways presentation dahling." at the end of every Green Acres episode.

@@loissimmons6558 I am of Hungarian ancestry, although born in Canada. There is no "w" in Hungarian, so "double U" is invariably pronounced "v", just in case you "vant" to know, dahling. Incidentally, the first contestant also has a Hungarian name, "Zold" means "Green" in Hungarian.

[@loissimmons6558]

@@robertfiller8634 Always a pleasure to meet a fellow Magyar! I knew that there is no "w" in Hungarian. I was quoting Eva from the show explaining one of her difficulties with English. (If I remember my German class from over 50 years ago, Germans call "w" "double-vay" when reciting the alphabet; double-v is a more accurate description of the shape of the letter than double-u.) I did not know that "zold" means "green" in Hungarian. Thank you for sharing that. I don't recall my mom teaching us the names of colors in Hungarian. Ironically, we had a neighbor of Italian descent whose last name was Verde. My dad (German descent) with his dry sense of humor would call him "Joe Green". (It predated the football player for the Steelers.) Alas, my mom didn't have the same dry sense of humor. If she did, I would have learned "zold".

In other words, today's movie stars look like a bunch of homeless, crackhead skanks just as women in this country who are not in the movies do.

[@litigioussociety4249]

It depends on the occasion. Many celebrity appearances today occur on shows or at events that have casual attire, whereas in the 50s almost any television appearance was something that usually called for more formal attire. Celebrities still dress formally for certain types of programming or events, and it depends on the celebrity. It was only recently that daytime talk shows started becoming more casual dress, even in the 90s a celebrity apearance on a talk show with Regis or Oprah would usually be in formal attire or famous designer casual.
