As of April 29, 2017 (the date I made this comment), Olivia de Havilland is still alive and is 100 years young! Now some people may not care about that, but I do; otherwise, I wouldn't have made this comment. I don't want her to "go" yet.
56 years later and Olivia is still alive. Loved her in Gone with the Wind (1939) The Heiress (1949) and Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte (1964.) She turns 101 this year.
Here we are in 2021 & Ms. Olivia died at the grand age of exactly 104. Born in July 1916 & died July 2020. Bravo her. Her sister passed at 96. Her father too.
Her sister was Joan Fontaine. That generation was tough. My Mother, born in 1917, passed in 2018 at age 101. They endured the Great Depression and World War II. My mother lost her 1st husband at Normandy. May they All REST IN PEACE. 🙏🏼🕊❤️
What a gentlemen Doug was.! He was the gold standard. He talks about he and Olivia de Haviland doing a radio play many years before and describes her as 'a little girl'. She was NOT a 'little girl' at the time.
The most confusing maneuver is to switch clues on a word during the lightning round. Olivia started off with stagecoach idea for 'stage' then switched to theatre. It almost never works.when time is that short.
Interesting that the word "movies" was considered slang back then 😊! Mr Fairbanks definitely came from an earlier era. He was lovely though. I had never seen him in these shows before.
According to newspaper archives, Deloss C. Hyde died in a car accident in 1964. Passed away at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Very tragic. Seemed like such a fine young man. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
I get the impression that the Sunday night version of Password got the big stars. it was a pretty big show since Sunday night was the biggest TV watching night- Right up there with the Ed Sullivan show. The weekly day time version didn’t get the same stars.
Olivia: "Do you mean we make money on this show?" Allen: "No, they do (meaning the contestants). You work for free." Considering she sued Warner Bros. not all that long beforehand (1940s, I believe), I wonder if anything went through her mind just then.
For "Ace" I might have said "card" and then stretched out the word Kiiiing" (Maybe while looking up to the ceiling for a moment or nudging my head upward slightly - technically are not supposed to gesture, but they usually let you get away with small things). Or after "Card" maybe "top" (or "highest").
The only annoying thing about this show is they have people in top jobs who are usually intelligent as contestants . I bet it would be a lot more entertaining if they had more ordinary people who wouldn't get the clues so quickly .
@@MaryAnnMsbl34 - Armistice is one that every one should know! An Armistice ended the fighting on the Western front in 1918. It is a terrible thing to sleep in History class.
Get thee to a Library and check out a book and a couple / few of magazines ( NOT videos !) and start reading! Buy a inexpensive paperback dictionary and a Thesaurus and learn things! Words are what separate us from the four-legged creatures.
She truly had NO clues and no answers. Painful to watch her sit there and do nothing. She answered: "Tired", A.L. said: "Roughly a form of the word, give me the exact word!" So, the daft woman says again: "Tired". argh! This was a horrible episode. She very much had the "Deer-in-the-headlights-stare". The horrible clues from the Celebrities did not help at all. Olivia d H. was slower than molasses in January. {I think her sister (J. Fontaine) had more "upstairs".} She and Fairbanks must have never owned a dog or a horse. I knew what a "Pedigree" was when I was in Elementary school. We had a Beagle (with a Pedigree) and next year we got a Horse with "No Papers", a "Horse-Horse". She and Fairbanks seemed to only know the scripts they recited in movies.
Mary Ann M - Hello. The daily game came on in the afternoons, as an alternative to the horrid "Soap Operas". iirc, it came on about 2pm (Mountain Time) about 1961, 1962. {So, 4pm Eastern Time because it was filmed in N.Y.C..} People that worked a Day shift job could not watch it, so the Network decided to have a game on Sunday Evening, called the "Weekly". Different procedures somewhat than the daily. Over the years the rules / regs changed on some things. A really good improvement was the idea of changing partners at the end of a game and getting a second chance. {Fact is, some Celebs were NOT very bright and the contestants suffered from that. Switching partners evened "the playing field".
Was just thinking, when Ludden mentioned the encyclopedia dude how the Internet and maybe more specifically, Wikipedia turned the World Book Encyclopedia into a buggy whip! Amazing how the world has changed on a dime.
password before a secret word or secret phrase that has been gain to attain something password now a string character that allows access to computer. hehe
The female contestant is one of the worst players I’ve seen. She wasn’t good at giving clues or guessing, but she always looked at her partner like it was their fault, lol. When you don’t do well regardless of who you’re with, you gotta look at the common denominator. That doesn’t just fit with games, either.
She was truly in the wrrooooong studio building. With that "Deer-in-the-headlights-stare" she must have been an out-of-town tourist who was looking for the Statue of Liberty tour or the "Radio City Music Hall" show. Daft and dizzy. She answered: "Tired". A.L. tells her: "You have given a form of the Password, now give me the actual word!" She stares around looking for a cue card it seemed and replied again: "Tired". ARGH! 😞🤯 I hope she never had children.
