WML 1959 Norma Brooks Dental Assistant

[@aintgotnotltc]

Wow, I am highly impressed by Dorothy's intellect. What a brilliant woman- she always asked the most clever questions and guessed right most of the time.

[@raiderrodriguez]

lisa marie mc she was good. The contestant's job wasn't that hard to identify tho.

[@clairespottedhorse1972]

I love Niven's elegant manners! There are a few people who will still stand up when meeting a woman. I also enjoy the jewelry the ladies wear. Look at the way the light plays on those necklaces and hair ornaments!

[@kenretherford1197]

Was Niven a war hero?

[@mustafajackson9430]

In the earlier part of the 20th Century and before, it was customary for Men to stand in the presence of Women as a courtesy; this was when People here in the States were being raised with manners and etiquette; sadly most Americans have lost that.

[@MySpace662]

The most beautiful Dental Assistant that I have ever seen, I would have my teeth cleaned everyday at this Dental Clinic.

[@otakurocklee]

Dorothy is so smart.

[@calalilygirl]

The head thing is attractive but I've never seen one on anyone else. It does match the necklace. Unusual, looks like a step down from wearing a tiara or crown.

[@ajplays7241]

She’s a Gyspy and that’s what Gypsy’s wear if married or on special occasions

[@mrantiquedealer]

Dorothy's mysterious death actually might be due to her being a bit too detective-like...

[@billoddy5637]

100%

[@mustafajackson9430]

Sadly Dorothy Kilgallen was murdered.

[@Marckymarc71]

David Niven was so friggin cool.

[@bluegrendel]

Yes, Dorothy would have made a great detective. She was a reporter who worked on at least one very big story.

[@lorraineb.4698]

The women panelists were always so glamorous.

[@radtech2005]

This woman's looks are well beyond her time.

[@johnwilliamson2276]

This is the first time I've seen a necklace on the forehead!

[@marks6663]

7:54, Dorothy asked her if she worked in a dental office, and she didn't know at first how to respond to that.

[@rob9495]

I too wondered why that question baffled her. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@latsnojokelee6434]

Probably because she doesn't really work for a regular dentist but an oral surgeon. So it's not exactly a dental office .

[@Samantha_Lee]

@@rob9495 she said that she works for an oral surgeon, so it is an oral surgeon's office and not a dentist's office

[@ameroux]

A great example of Dorothy's implacable logic at work. She'd have made a great detective.

[@billoddy5637]

For all intents and purposes she was a great detective

[@jaqqqqqqattack]

At that point, saying that a woman was pretty or attractive constituted not sexual harassment but a compliment.

[@Celisar1]

JP Brown The lack of good manners and refinement to know what’s appropriate in the circumstances is missing often. That’s the problem.

[@flowerfairy1950]

This format would never be permitted today...a pity.

[@bigred997]

i remember now- it was diane baker i am thinking of. lana turner was playing an older woman in that movie.

[@UDIETHATWAY]

Oh, I just love David Niven..!

[@519djw6]

Norma Brooks was some dish!

[@calalilygirl]

@SeleneBowie She really looked like physical perfection.

[@williamlaneve9236]

David Niven was the first choice to play the popular James Bond movie role but it didn't work out. Can't imagine him going up one on one against "Odd Job" but everything worked out ok....

[@schusterlehrling]

He played James Bond in Casino Royal.

[@13loomisst]

Thanks very much.

[@kenretherford1197]

Why did Arlene marry that imbecile Gabel?

[@calalilygirl]

Very attractive woman..i wonder if dental assistants weren't as common then. i remember my first Dentist in the 60's did everything himself--no assistant.

[@latsnojokelee6434]

She worked for a dental surgeon so A surgeon with need more help than a regular dentist .

[@calalilygirl]

I know it's gotten to the point where men are afraid to compliment women. I miss that.

[@Celisar1]

calalilygirl 6 years but still: nonsense. All you need is good manners and a sense for what is appropriate in the circumstances. That’s missing often.

[@Samantha_Lee]

Men aren't afraid to compliment women, they lack basic human respect in the manner in which they talk to women

[@soulierinvestments]

3:00 -- The perils of living television. If they had videotaped the broadcast, they could have stopped and replaced the cards. Wouldn't have been nearly as amusing, though. Daly certainly was quick.

[@stanpatterson5033]

It could still have been fixed, by merely having the floor director (or props person) carefully nip over while the director and technical producer simply avoided using the camera that pointed in the direction of John's desk. In fact, after John pointed it out, the next question(s) from the panel were rather lengthy and naturally kept the camera occupied on the panelist anyways. But, yes, doing a live show does present hazards and problems.

[@bigred997]

boy, is she gorgeous. looks like a body double for the one who was in Peyton Place movie- forget her name.

[@calalilygirl]

Was replying to someone who said her look was way beyond her time. The comment above mine.

[@calalilygirl]

That's okay, I've done that before too.

[@calalilygirl]

@bigred997 Was it Lana Turner?

[@calalilygirl]

@harrietcow In those days it really was more common and acceptable for men to talk like that. Seems like no one blinked an eye.

[@ajluvsny]

the woman has a beautiful classic outfit, very nice. But could somebody tell me what the hell is hanging down from her forehead?

[@ajplays7241]

A necklace

[@NetCerpher]

Can we collect enough money for Bill Carson to buy a pair of glasses?

[@calalilygirl]

@radtech2005 The woman is stunning but I think her look is 1959 all the way.

[@mikefargus]

All the women are wearing too much jewelry this time around, however the dresses are great!

[@Baskerville22]

David slipped her his phone number.

[@TopperMadeline]

That's possible.
