PASSWORD 1963-03-17 Diahann Carroll & E.G. Marshall 

I'll love her style and class eternally.She's everything I've ever wanted in a woman only she would be classified as my Grandmothers age. They just don't make them like that anymore..... Rest in eternal paradise Queen Diahann!

She is the reason why I became a nurse...When I seen the TV show Julia, I said this what I want to be...

Diahann Carol is such an amazing beautiful woman. Loved her on Dynasty. And so much more.

As a child I believed her to be the most beautiful woman in the world. I was in awe. I watched her later on TV series and still thought the same. Wow. There she is.

She was absolutely stunning and classy a lady!!!!!

What makes Diahann Carrol so unique are her eyes

Enjoy them. The game was always challenging. For some reason I prefer these in black & white. These are like time capsules. These ARE time capsules.

Ms. Carroll was the first Black actress to be awarded the Tony Award: (Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical) for the Broadway musical mentioned within this episode: No Strings. As the first Black Actress to star in a non-domestic lead role, she was awarded the Golden Globe Award as Best Actress in a Television Series in 1969, for her portrayal of Julia Baker in (Julia). Carroll received two additional Golden Globe Award Nominations for (Julia) & (Claudine) in 1970 & 1975 respectively. Additionally, she was twice nominated for the Emmy Award: (Julia) in 1970, and: A Different World (Marion Gilbert) in 1989; and received an Academy Award nomination in the Best Actress category for her title role portrayal of: (Claudine) in 1974.

She was famously and tumultuously romanced by actor Sidney Poitier, and later broke her long engagement to journalist David Frost.

She suffered from a recurrence of Breast Cancer and Dementia at the time of her death. b. Carol Diahann Johnson (7/17/35). d. Ms. Diahann Carroll (10/4/19). ...Rest In Beauty and Splendor. 👍🏽💯🛐🙏

I like the commercial at the end about the World Book Encyclopedia. We had a set of them when I was a kid. My dog chewed up the last book which was x,y and z. Used them a lot doing homework. I would ask my mom a question and she would say "go look it up".

I remember this show Password as a kid growing up in the 60s. I remember and love Diahann Carroll forever!

Ms Carroll was stunningly beautiful even in black and white! Work Diahann!!!

She was a goddess!

Ms. Carroll was not only gorgeous but elegant, poised, intelligent and supremely talented. I watched several of her films and of course her tv show Julia and her appearances on Dynasty. She was also a singer with a beautiful voice. There is a video here on YT in which she sings Elusive Butterfly (on the Ed Sullivan show). She exudes class!! After watching it I'm sure you will agree that her talent went beyond acting for she had also been blessed with a magnificent voice!

Diahann Carroll was drop dead GORGEOUS!!!

Loved that Julia show as a kid, and the boy actor playing Corey, who didn’t envy him having her as his mum? She was gorgeous and spoke so lovingly.

When Mark Goodson and Bill Todman put a game show on television in the 50s and 60s, it was doggone well worth watching! These B/W versions of PASSWORD, TO TELL THE TRUTH, I'VE GOT A SECRET, WHAT'S MY LINE?, MATCH GAME, THE NAME'S THE SAME, and the earlier version of THE PRICE IS RIGHT (then hosted by Arlene Francis and/or Bill Cullen) were all done with style and taste, good manners, genuine humor, and the ability for everyone to participate...

Thank you for posting this show Diahann Carroll is a class act and beautiful.

The Defenders & JULIA both on the same show.Two highly talented people.

When I was a kid, I had a crush on Diahann Carroll in 1968 and I religiously watched her show every week. The living room was usually empty as none of my sibs liked it very much :)

Diahann was a nurse in a prime time program.

Thank you for remembering the times of Password and friends gone bye

O shes so stunning!!

SHE WAS 28 YEARS OLD HERE AND SHE HAD THE AUDACITY TO SAY SHE WAS GETTING OLD, MY GOODNESS!

Ms. Diahann Carroll's BEAUTY distracted me the entire time. What a PHENOMENAL CLASS ACT...may she continue to rest in peace!

Rest In Peace Diahann. You will be missed.

Diahann is so beautiful, I love her delicate voice.

Diahann came out as diamanté on my word check on my tablet. I like that, suits her, Diamanté Carroll. She seems a nice, sparkly, modest lady and got better at the game as she went. I vaguely remember her in Dynasty watching as a child, but it was always the beautiful and hilarious Joan Collins I remember, she was just so OTT. I think she's a good role model, she isn't harsh, aggressive or overly sexual, she has decorum and dignity, and dresses ladylike. In some ways we've regressed, which is a shame.

R.I.P. Diahann Carroll.

Yes, yes, I’m idealizing the past, I plead guilty!!! But is there not something utterly comforting and peaceful in these shows, the simplicity, the grace, the celebrity-civilian mix, the stakes clearly significant enough to matter to the ordinary contestants, the reliable formula day after day?

I was born a couple of weeks after this!

A beautiful, talented, classy lady. 🎶

Thanks so much for posting this classic!! Love this

finally a channel for the real password! thank you for this.

DIAHANN CARROLL, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN EVER TO GRACE HOLLYWOOD. REST IN THE LORD'S LOVING GRACE.

Diahann Carroll (1935-2019) may you quietly rest forever in peace you Black Beauty Queen.

Diahann looks like she should have been with the Supremes as a gorgeous singer. Too much beauty back then.... and I love it! Not like today’s celebs with their hair uncombed!

The televised a game show at 10 o'clock on a Monday night? And it survived? Wow!

Her presence destroyed the stereotype of blacks although in the minds of some people who are reprobate they ignored it.

Dianne looked the same 20+ years later as a Carrington!

Diahann Carroll was absolutely stunning!

She had a beautiful voice and he was a fine actor. All passed away...…..

Diahann Carroll in Julia 1968

Loved Diahann when I was a kid. Pretty and classy.

Yay Yonkers! Was born there in December 1961. Moved away in May 1969. Have very fond memories even though I was only 7 when my family left.

Rest In Peace Diahann Carroll. You are truly missed.🙏🙏❤

OH WOW, Dianne Carroll!!! Julia!!! Thank You!

Diahann Carrol… pure elegance.

RIP beautiful Diahann Carroll...

Beautiful Diahann Carroll.

Diahann is a great actress but she’ll win no prizes at this game.

Her hair !!! lovee so much

One of the most GORGEOUS black women I’ve ever seen!

They're always touchy-feely with each other. I think the producers encouraged it.

Sheesh she's gorgeous and sheesh this was a long ass time ago....JFK was alive and my Mom wasn't married yet.

All of them give such lousy clues! This game really evolved over the years.

It was 1963. It’s horrible to think that this lady was still going through the civil rights movement at the time of this show. And most horrible to think this was recent.

Stunning😍

Rest Peacefully Julia. You deserve it.

No one wears glasses to bed. I'm convinced. Not guilty.

Diahnn became even more beautiful as time went by, i.e. in Dynasty.

What class act my mum would have so proud of me to present her to the family...i mean sophisticated Diane. If i could turn back time you get Keri Hilson instead...but she is happily married. Oh Well sixties class is modern contemporary in phd. She will be back, more beautiful afterlife.

2:50 the mc acknowledges the "lovely Dianne Carol," I am surprised if his glasses aren't steamed up, lol, he got flustered, forgot the words and then turns to the "lovely," EG Mashall, that was so funny to me I almost fell off the kitchen chair!! LOL

No contestants from the south...interesting. she is stunning !

Not 1 black person in the audience..Thank you Diahnn

E.g. Marshall 👍

Mondays at 10 pm? Back then?? The network must have been trying to kill off the nighttime version!

Y'all know host Allen Ludden was married to Betty White. In fact, they married that same year.

Is that true that Yonkers definition is "a young Druid"? I looked it up and couldn't find any connection.

One of those episodes that I’m using one of those extender thingies with the boxing glove on the end - WALLOPING those horrible answers!!

Dresses!

Yonkers, from the Dutch "Jonkheer" - etymologically, "young gentleman", a Dutch honorific title derived from the old Dutch jonk (young) and heer ("lord"). From back when New York was New Amsterdam, I guess.

She’s quite the lady!

Diahann Carroll versus Gail Fisher. I choose both.

Per Allen's announcement at the beginning, WHY the heck would the network put Password on at 10 PM? So risque? I guess it's about the same as when What's My Line was on so late.

I was only born 7 yrs after this. jeezus.

Miss Carroll! One of my first and all time crushes. Along with her opponent E.G. Marshall not a proficient Password player unfortunately.

Idents: Formation (5 seconds) Formation (6 seconds; partial)

22:00 "Poker? I hardly know her!"

Yes, beautiful Miss Carroll! Ive noticed in several episodes that the women contestants keep grabbing the male star's arms and hands!!! Weirdly frantic!!!

Wasn't eg marshall in 12 angry men

"Meeting" seems so simple but… The only one I think that was missing was maybe "Office…" (said in that sort of "Passwordian" way, denoting something following :-)

Diahann is as thick as champ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm REALLY curious why for "Couple" NOBODY tried "Married……" (said in that Password-ian way denoting something to follow :-) Seriously, did they not have the term "married couple" back in 1963? I suppose it's possible that didn't become part of the vernacular until later on (?)

Diahann Carroll always looked to me like she posed for the Nefertiti statue. She's so beautiful!

R.I.P Diahann ♡♡♡♡♡

For "Champagne" I would've expected her to say "Bubbles"… Or at least maybe "Bubbly". For "Sail," why wouldn't she say the word "Wind?" For "Plate" maybe the word "Dish?"

This episode falls a bit flat. The audience was the quietest I have ever heard them and the contestants weren't very good. Still loving watching them though.

I guess I'm preaching to the choir (the fans of the show) but for "Sail" weren't you also shouting "Canvas" and/or "Wind?" :-)

Do most of the female contestants wear size 8 black dresses with long strands of pearls????

People were more articulate then. That brunette said some word I never heard of for " fee"

Although smitten by Diahann Carroll, I wonder why Pass Word was subsequently relegated to a Monday 10 PM slot. The beginning of the end?

They gave terrible clues, I adore Diahann though ❤

Is the first announcer Tom Kenny

Spectacle and spectacles are not the same thing.

At 18:57 to 19:00 we see the first interracial kiss on network television, when Diahann Caroll's partner from Yonkers- Dick Crayer- leans over and gives her a kiss on the cheek. This predates the kiss between William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols (Capt Kirk and Lt Uhura on the Star Trek episode "Plato's Stepchildren") by a full 5 years.

RIP Diahann Carrol

the era of big hair, not a strand moves, dihann wears it elegantly though

Meeting chance and spending for luxury quality in Bahamas spring bay club.

😃

Diahann Carroll was a beautiful lady . RIP Queen
