Dorothy Kilgallen's specific/odd questions on What's my line 

Amazing that you know ALL these, Teddy: thanks!

The questions make sense with those explanations. Dinah Shore was married to George Montgomery, who made furniture.

That's so cool that you knew these! The only one I knew was the address book because I had seen it asked so many times. Thanks for this info, and for the compilation(s).

What about the tie 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks for that info!

Well, she did have help. Remember that the "mystery" contestant was very frequently someone premiering a film, or acting or directing in a play on Broadway or other stuff - and no one had contacts in the Manhattan theatrical community like Dorothy. So she would have had an extremely keen awareness of what celebrities were recently in town, or opening a play, or what have you - and also remember that Arlene Francis and Bennett Cerf lived in Connecticut and wouldn't have had their nose to the ground nearly as effectively as the "voice of Broadway" - not to mention they both had gigs that would have taken up a fair amount of time, especially in Cerf's case. So, yeah, she would definitely have a leg up with the mystery guests in particular. I think you'll notice that she didn't do nearly as well in areas like sports celebrities.

@@chuckschillingvideosArlene and Bennett were neighbors in Mount Kisco, NY.

Richard Widmark soon after made a noir film in which he was the good guy and Jack Palance threw another wheelchair bound invalid off a fire escape. I wonder if Widmark gave him lessons.

She was a gossip columnist silly.

Remember she and her family stayed at the White House during the days of JFK

Her husband did it.

Mafia is my guess. I wondered why they never say where her husband and children were. It's a mystery that will never be solved.

Hey Serena, thank you for the feedback. The answers are included, only 2 or 3 are missing, and they are No's. She never had affirmative answer on the dentistry and address book questions. You can click on my profile to see my other video re Dorothy. Regards.

I think the one time Anthony Perkins was a guest during the sixties Dorothy FAILED to ask the address book question!

Have you ever studied dentistry as you dropped your address book out of a helicopter the day after the night we danced at Maxine’s before you slept on lavender sheets after you’d sat on Bennett’s lap when you autographed a pair of my shoes? No?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No, but I did serve two terms as Secretary-General of the UN before becoming a star attraction in the Cole Brothers Circus as the Human Cannonball understudy. By the way, have you seen my address book? I must have dropped it somewhere.

​@@crgrbrtsThis video was suggested and I forgot about my comment. Love your response. Thanks for the laugh 😂

Yeah, I want to know, too. There were suggestions that it was Ginger Rogers, but it is unknown really.

@@teddytodorova she was related to him so it's possible she had sat on his lap at one time or another.

@@teddytodorova I've heard that as well - they were related by marriage.

Liberace.

Well, she was hoping that Tony Perkins would appear, so she was asking this question and if the answer was "Yes", she would have known it was him. Also I guess she liked showing she knows stuff

There was one time where a dentist appeared and she didn’t get it so she used it as a throw away question

My guess is she threw out the oddball questions to throw the mystery guests off and get them to forget their pretend accent and instead answer (at least in part) with their real voices.

She was stuck on that elf from Rudolph.
