I always love seeing the footage with family and spouses. ❤️ Peter is a wonderful, thoughtful man, very much in the vein of both of his parents. He has had some involvement with the arts in recent years…there is a venue in the Bay Area called the Arlene Francis Center, and he has had direct input and appearances there over the years. His parents would be extremely proud of the things he has done to help people who are socially disadvantaged. He’s a good human being, and I am privileged to count him among my friends.

[@theblake5356]

For those asking why Arlene was the only original WML panelist used on this occasion(1973); of the original panelists, she was the only one alive at that time. Bennett Cerf had passed away two years earlier(8/27/1971) and of course Dorothy Kilgallen had died nearly a decade earlier(11/8/1965). John C. Daly, the original WML Host, was still alive but was effectively retired at this point. They could’ve used Steve Allen as a guest panelist in this episode and that would’ve been the closest possible facsimile to the original show.

[@MarshalTennerWinter]

[@Celisar1]

phtevlin No, having your mother living in a home for the elderly is not taking care if her!

[@m.e.d.7997]

It may have been a good one you do not know. Do not judge that situation. Arlene may not have had the funds left for in home care. They were not an independently wealthy couple to my knowledge. Arlene was never a major screen star or Broadway star. She played in off broadway plays during her career.

[@Celisar1]

Margaret It’s not about the money and not about if it was a good home. It’s about the fact that putting someone in a home where other people take care of that person is the opposite of taking care yourself. Many people put their elderly away in homes. In some cases it might be necessary but praise deserve only the children who really make the effort to be there for their old parents themselves.

[@kenhenderson7999]

In her declining years, Peter moved his mother to a nursing home in the Bay Area where he could be closer to her. She died there, but was buried next to her husband in Pennsylvania (his home).

[@patshhi4620]

Ken, I read somewhere that Peter moved her closer to him. He was a good son.

[@ajs11201]

@@patshhi4620 Yeah, I think she ended up with Alzheimer's and needed a supervised living situation. Peter by then had well established himself in San Francisco and Berkeley, so I guess he felt the best option was to move her to the west coast, giving her both the care she needed as well as making sure the two could be close to each other. He's a class act all the way.

[@teriannebeauchamp254]

What I think is great is that from the very first version it was frequently mentioned that Peter and Jonathon Cerf were in school together from a young age all the way through Harvard. They matainened their friendship to the end. Jonathon gave a eulogy at Peter's funeral

Very handsome guy and an incredibly intelligent and accomplished person. His parents would have rightly been very proud of their only child.

The original host came on in 1975 for a special discussing 25 years of the show, effectively ending the show. He died in 1991, and all the original long time panelists are gone.

@@4seeableTV Just because it's on KZbin doesn't prove the documentary is true, nor does it negate any truth in the documentary. The case of Dorothy Kilgallen's death has never been fully investigated, let alone solved, but there is more than a little suspicion that the mafia killed her for knowing too much about JFK's assassination. But I take your point--there is no proof from any source to conclusively back up any suspicions.

In her final years Arlene had very bad Alzeimer's Disease, needed specialized care. Peter moved her to one of the finest care facilities in the San Francisco area, so he could visit her often. But she didn't recognize her son or anyone else.

He has done a lot of great work to raise awareness about social justice, and continues to do so not only from a legal perspective (he holds a B.A., J.D., and Ph.D.), but also as a noted writer/editor and academic.

After she died, her son Peter had it, and while getting out of a taxi in New York, he was mugged by a robber who stole it from him. It was the most seen heart-shaped necklace in the history of television. One can only hope that beautiful necklace carried a curse for the rat who stole it. Regardless, that necklace, and the lovely woman who wore it all those years on TV, will never be stolen from our hearts.

I have a passing acquaintance with Peter Gabel through my job and to be honest at least in my opinion he is a very strange person. He's always very frumpy looking as if he needs a shampoo bath and access to a washing machine. I spoke to him on the street one day and later someone asked why I was talking to a homeless man.

Peter Gabel and one of Bennett Cerf's sons, Jonathan Cerf were friends. They attended Deerfield Boarding School at the same time. Upon graduation, both boys studied at Harvard. I think perhaps the frumpy look came later in Peter's life and was perhaps a Berkley influence. Arlene and Martin were close friends to Bennett Cerf and his wife. I was not familiar with Deerfield boarding school, so brought it up on the net. It has a beautiful campus.

Don't u think that boarding school would have an effect on some and not in an especially good way?
