Elizabeth Cember Sometimes Allen would narrow and look out of the corner of his eyes (an almost lecherous look) when he doubted the logic of an answer.
When Betty said that she thought one word and said another, what a perfect opening for Allen to say "I know: for a year you meant to say yes, but said no!" (To Allen's marriage proposals)
What Betty White has seen in televisual evolution since she went from Radio to TV is phenomenal. Clumpy cables, heavy equipment, then color tv, video, live satellite feeds, dvd's, youtube & streaming on ones computer. She has watched all of that unfold.
Interesting to me that George Grizzard would later guest star on "The Golden Girls" on two different occasions, some 20 years later. He played Blanche's late husband George (who apparently faked his death, only to find out it's all in Blanche's dream) in one episode, and in another he played George's twin brother Jamie.
And with my generation and those younger, he is best known for playing defense attorney Arthur Gold in the first few seasons of the original "Law & Order" on NBC.
@@WaltGekko I also remember him in the role of the Governor (who shows up at the chaotic dinner party in the latter half of the film) in the Goldie Hawn/Chevy Chase/Charles Grodin flick "Seems Like Old Times." It's a small role but he's great in it. At one point in the dinner party there's absurd chaos going on all around him and he just sits there and says "notice how I remain calm? I do that because I'm the governor." He was a gem.
What’s funny is that Betty and George Grizzard worked together years later on the Golden Girls. George played Blanch’s deceased husband George and George’s brother Jamie.
I was only 10 years old at that time which seems to just be a few years ago. To think that Betty is almost 100 years old, and still looking good, and going strong 💪. How time flies!!!
That big gorgeous smile and dimples as soon as you turn it on it. What a beautiful site. RIP Betty White! I love you so much! 1st lady of television.🙏🏽🕊😩💔😪
Wow, look at Betty White! I was 4 years old!!! LOL :) 8/29/21 According to the internet, she is still kicking at 99 years old!! AWESOME!!! :) Note, she was in her early 40's here, and for the record, she is older than "sliced bread"! ;)
The contestant named Pat was a graduate student at Kent State Umiversity,vwhich less than three years later was the site of "four dead in Ohio", as Neil Young put it. Painful memories.
I will say that for a lightning round password, "Creep" is probably 1 of the most difficult I've ever seen (although Betty - who I have now determined to be 1 of the best Password players of all time - gave it the old college try.
What surprises me is Allen Ludden's wife of 18 years died of cancer in 1961 & he met Betty in that year & proposed the following year. Was he either unhappily married before or in a hurry to fill the gap his first wife had vacated.
Incidentally, *Allen Ludden* and *Betty White* were also married for *18* years, until his own death from cancer. She never remarried, saying that "when you've had the best, who needs the rest?"
@@susanford2388 She said this about those two previous marriages: "I've had two bad marriages, and I don't like to think of them as good mistakes. They were traumatizing to go through. But they did make me appreciate it when the perfect one came along."
Allen Ludden married Margaret McGloin on October 11, 1943. She died of cancer on October 30, 1961. They had a son, David, and two daughters, Martha and Sarah. Betty White and Allen met in 1961 on the set of his game show, Password, when she appeared as a guest. He proposed to Betty White at least twice before she accepted. In 1963, the couple tied the knot two years after meeting. Betty and Allen were married for 18 years until Ludden passed away from stomach cancer in 1981. Betty never remarried. When Anderson Cooper asked White in 2011 why she never remarried, she replied, "I had the love of my life. If you've had the best, who needs the rest?"
.Would not have guessed Betty White was in her mid 40s here. Most people around this time looked older than their actual age. She actually looks younger than 45.
Betty White and Allen Ludden first met in nineteen sixty one on password the show Allen was hosting and for Allen how had just lost his two and half weeks after he lost his wife Margaret to cancer.
Its interesting that he was ready to remarry so quickly- but Betty put him off. As a woman she probably knew he needed a bit of healing time- and the children needed to get used to her as well as grieve their mother.
*It's wirdt. I am Chilean and my language is Spanish. I know English maybe 30%, and I said in my mind two words who famous actrees said, these were hey! and listen!* 😮
Interesting how Allen Ludden said to Charlene Shrake, "I see you're married . What does your husband do?" Instead of what do you do. Sign of the times.
@@tomloft2000 Not necessarily a stereotype Tom and I wasn't scolding you. Realistically speaking at that time, the professions you listed would have been the normal response. By the way, they are still female dominated professions today. I just meant that it was intriguing seeing the different professions on What's My Line and that there was no need for me to make a sweeping generalization of a fragile 50's housewife.
Another episode with some dorky/low vocabulary people in the studio audience. The guy gave a very good clue ("Cemetary") for the Password "Plot" and some idjits in the audience laughed at it, thus making his partner think he had given a bad clue. He had given an excellent clue.
@lawsonj39 --- Anyone with a functioning brain would associate "Brahms" with the word "lullaby". Drugged-out rock-n-rollers and R&B &Jazz types and rappers would not, but folks that appreciate good music would.
It would destroy the game if the partners on a team learned that they knew the same foreign language and gave the translations as the clues. But in this episode, "achtung" is not a direct translation of attention, although it was used that way to get someone's attention (or at least that's what the movies and television shows portrayed). The direct translation of "achtung" is "danger".
„Jein“ as the German say. “Attention” is the best generic translation of Achtung, from the verb “achten“ which means to pay attention. The best translation for danger is “Gefahr”, by the way.
You know what I don't like about Betty? She's a good player, but I don't think I have EVER seen her say pass in the lightening round (I honestly think that if Allen never say, "Go the next word," she would go to the very end before saying it herself (even she she only had 100 points). I love Betty White, but that DOES drive me when she'd rather press on and try to get the word than win the game for the contestant
@KENTUCKY-MAMA ---> Nothing wrong with that at all. Do you really NOT understand that usually at that time married women were housewives that worked at home? My Mom did, and had zero interest in working outside the home and Dad would have been embarrassed if she had to take a job besides keeping house. Better times than now.
That is because if the women were married, then they usually were housewives and most women wanted to be housewives instead of in the work-a-day world. Better times than now.
