A commenter said he recently played Barrie the 'St James Infirmary' number from that show, with Fred and Jonah Jones. She loved it but said she had never seen it before!
Trivia about Barrie Chase: She married a doctor and left show biz in 1972. She's still alive and has one child. We have all seen her in a movie, but didn't know who she was. She was the hot bikini chick dancing with Dick Shawn in "Mad, Mad, Mad World" when the phone rang. She's the last surviving member of that movie's cast and will be age 90 in 2 years.
No. How do you know that, stupid? You don't seem to understand 'speech act theory' at all. So why are you being so disrespectful and presumptuous online yourself? @@IsraelNowIsraelForever
Happy to hear this! She was such a graceful, poised dancer. Very gorgeous and confident. Dorothy always could crack a case. What a mind the lovely lady had.
I saw Barrie Chase on a sixth-season BONANZA episode in 1965. She played a saloon dancer who learns the ballet from a former ballet dancer played by Warren Stevens. Every young person who dreams of becoming a ballet dancer needs to see that episode! I never became a ballerina, but I do love to watch the ballet, and that episode put Barrie Chase on the map for me.
A delightful episode. I've been watching Bonanza episodes when I am not watching some other old show (like What's My Line?) and I am up to the 9th season now. I remember that episode being thoroughly enjoyable and worth viewing. And Miss Chase was lovely in it.
Four years down the road from your comment but I had to reply, hope you see it! White Christmas is my favorite movie musical but I had no idea that Doris was played by Barrie Chase. I didn't realize she went back that far and the blond hair really throws you off. The whole scene with her is one of my favorite non-musical parts of the movie. Favorite line - "I wish it would happen to ME!"

I first heard of her in "Cape Fear," (62) in a cameo role which starred Gregory Peck, Mitchum, Telly Savalas in the suspense film redone with Robert DeNiro. Then I caught one of her Astaire specials in the mid-60s. I am convinced she was the smoothest dance partner Astaire had except for Adele, his sister.
💯. As of Today (October 20th) Madam Barry Chase is Ninety Years Young. ☺️☺️☺️😊☺️🥳☺️😊☺️☺️☺️ . ... Is that kiddoe that Mike Mazurka and Phil Silvers Drive Around for a bit with us today (?)
He was outstanding as a late night talk show host in the late 1960s. I used to watch him more often than Johnny because his monologues were hilarious and his handling of guests was so good. Unfortunately, his show only lasted 2 or 3 years.
@@princeharming8963 That is very kind of you to say so. I am, of course, quite well known for my wit and repartee. I am also President of C.R.A.P. (Campaign for Ridiculing Awful People) and wear a bow-tie at all times. I sincerely hope this clarifies matters for you. What a wit!
18:37 That title surrounding her face must make her wince . . . while justifiably proud of the work she did with Astaire, she remains ambivalent about it because she did a lot of other excellent work but all people want to ask her (understandably) is, "What was it like to dance with Fred Astaire?" Compounding that is the fact that they reportedly had a romantic relationship AND Astaire did a lot to promote her career. Finally, for fun, their first recorded dance together from the film 'Silk Stockings': ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6ihiy4O9lsY.html I make the distinction because she appeared prior to that in two other Astaire films ('White Christmas' and 'Daddy Long Legs') but didn't dance with him.
The last guest said he was from Portuguese East Africa but the official name of the country was, and is, Mozambique. Joey Bishop's last comment about the "guide can't find his way out" was hysterical.
+Michael Danello It was Portuguese East Africa from March 1, 1498 to June 25, 1975. As the culmination of a war for independence waged beginning in September 1964, Mozambique gained its independence on that date. But when this program aired, it was still a colony firmly in the control of Portugal. I knew someone who was born in Portuguese East Africa of Portuguese descent. His family's first move in response to the end of the war was to move to Brazil. Sometime later they emigrated to the U.S.

I've watched hundreds of these shows with so much enjoyment. I was lucky enough to grow up watching them, but one thing you notice is that many of the jobs no longer exist, or have been automated. I'm sure that gold ingots are now made to an exacting degree by machines.
found on the web: April 60 columnist Dorothy Kilgallen says that Barrie and Tony Perkins “are being talked of for the leading roles in the screen version of West Side Story…” September 65 columnist Dorothy Kilgallen reveals: “Barrie Chase, for years linked on and off with Fred Astaire, has become betrothed to Jan Malmsjo, an actor and one of Sweden’s top recording stars. She’s with him now in Scandinavia”
I had to look up who this "mystery guest" lady was, as she appeared to be so stunning. Once I got wind of her credits, I realized she had made a great impression on me in the past, having caused me to look her up way back when. (Obviously, the name did not register.) I first looked her up after having watched the original _Cape Fear_ ; the beauty who was Robert Mitchum's victim. It was then that I had realized she also had briefly played another part that had made me take notice, and that was Dick Shawn's "go-go" pal from _It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World._
Again! One more African hunting guide! Throughout the years of this show's run this "line" has popped up on more than occasion. The hunting and killing of animals in their native habitat for sport, so called recreation, has thankfully become recognized in the 21st century for what it is. Inhumane and unconscionable.
Their duets were indeed light-hearted and comic. Fred knew he would not look so good being smoochy with a woman half his age, just as he could hardly have got too romantic with his sister. Barrie had Adele's high spirits and ability to convey the fun of dancing as well as the technique and discipline to make you admire her. She gave Fred his Indian Summer, and we should be grateful.
For those of us that until seeing this never heard of Barrie Chase here"s a link to a video with she and Fred Astaire from 1966, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l9FtFhY-mZw.html (speaking for myself I like girls that look like boys) She was born in 1933 is 86 and at the moment still among us.
Interesting that Joey Bishop called Barrie Chase out on sounding not entirely pleased to be the Mystery Guest while he was blindfolded. Her smile as she answered the questions would seem to indicate that she was in good humor, but the sometimes sharp, sometimes flat tone of her voice obviously gave off a negative vibe. Reading up on Ms. Chase, she apparently had quite a reputation for being aloof and "difficult" -- I wonder how much was actual bad behavior, and how much was shyness (she seems decidedly less at ease after the panel removes their blindfolds and she must engage in small talk with Daly), as well as a lack of elocution training affecting her ability to modulate her voice and cultivate a pleasant speaking manner -- some people just SOUND "nasty," even when they don't intend to.
I read your thoughts above and did a bit of looking myself and found this: www.glamourgirlsofthesilverscreen.com/show/639/Barrie+Chase/index.html I think you may be right. Being a public person doesn't always bring out the best in us. A lifetime has passed between 1961 and today, 2019. She retired from show business in 1972. I hope she found happiness in these years. Barrie Chase is still with us but all of our days a numbered.
"some people just SOUND "nasty," even when they don't intend to." - I have experienced this quite a bit. I have had people ask me why am I talking to them in an "abrasive" way. I just answer the question asked. I believe since I speak seven languages, at various levels/degrees and have seven streams of income so that I am able to do what I want to do wheneven I want to, I sense that people, in general, are just jealous of what I have accomplised in my life as they ALL may kiss my derriere. P.S. If you are BORN poor that is NOT your fault, BUT should you DIE poor, that definitely IS your fault. In the 1987 movie Wall Street, Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko gave an insightful speech where he said, "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." I LOVE this movie!
Perhaps so; but I'm not sure how accurate some of that "aloofness" of which You Speak is accurate.. .... the tone - ... She's a Mystery Guest (!)🐥 Lol. So (chances are) she's gonna vary up the way and mannerisms therewith of which she answers.. ... if You'd like I can go further (and farther). ..
*I'd Like to add; after (Unfortunately) reading further some of this completely uncalled for rudeness found therein in this post - ... would you be smooth talkin' and chill as a bear cub in a jacuzzi in September if -- say You met Vincent Price or (say) Maureen O'Hara ? (For the Very first time,?)... 🤔😐😐😐 Maybe a Little Class and Respect. John Daly; take him, for example. .
Gold has increased by about 42 times since 1961. But you would have been better off paying attention to the woman who lectured on the stock market. The Dow has increased by almost exactly the same as gold in that period (in part because the price was fixed without regard to market forces for decades), but if you collected the dividends and reinvested them, you would have done much better in the stock market than in gold bars even if it had been legal to own them at that time
As to Astaire's dancing partners -- Ginger Rogers or Cyd Charisse always comes to mind. However, Barrie Chase worked with him fairly regularly from 1958 to as late as 1966 -- when they appeared together on a Hollywood Palace episode. Great and talented dancer -- pretty, too. The big Astaire dancing specials happened on NBC TV in 1958, 1959 and 1961. Incidentally the 1958 Astaire-Chase special is the second oldest surviving color videotape. President Eisenhower at the 1958 opening ceremony of the then new NBC TV color studio in Washington DC is the oldest.
The two of them appeared a couple of times on Hollywood Palace. In January 1966, the two of them danced on HP a memorable routine to "Pussy Cat" -- in color.
One of the commentators had mentioned about Ms. Chase as being the last surviving actor of Its a mad world movie of 1963. It got me thinking how many of its players survived to the 21th century . Some of the more notable players that made it to this century : Berle , Caesar ,Hackett , Rooney , Winters , Adams , Provine , Falk , Freberg , Knotts , Kaplan , Lewis , Norton , Stang, Lane , Rhue , and AA actor Nick Stewart .
Gold bricks are usually 400 troy oz; as 12 troy oz.=1 troy lb, the brick would weigh ~ 33 1/3 troy lb. As 1 troy oz. =1.09714 regular oz., it would weigh about 27.43 lb. In any case no where near the 37 lb. he claims.
I'm a regular watcher of this, but with 400 episodes, how do you remember this stuff? I think I do good by naming most of the regular panelists, and I also know all the theme openings in sequence.

Aha, goldbricking isn't heard much today; it means appearing to work but not working and dates to the old hustle of selling a gold-plated metal bar as if it were real gold. So a person is a 'gold brick' who shines on the outside but isn't worth much.
i recently found martin's tony award speech online, and his shout out to arlene was the sweetest! here's the link: www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ej1wz_tony-awards-1961_people and go to around 28:57 he's walking up to accept his award.
Lorna Badeo That's fantastic! Martin got a HUGE ovation for being the winner. I ended up watching quite a bit of this video and this is the way awards shows should be run. You announce the winner, they come up and don't say much more than "thank you" and they move on to the next award. Thanks for posting!
Lorna Badeo- He said the Tony was the best prize he'd gotten since Arlene married him. Even better than their son? I bet Peter Gabel didn't think it was 'the sweetest'.
The 1934 Gold Reserve Act raised the price that the U.S. Treasury would pay for gold from $20.67 to $35 per troy ounce, but it also fixed it there until U.S. citizens were free to own and trade gold in 1975. (Exceptions were numismatic coins and jewelry.)
My step-mother and Ms. Chase knew each other and had friends in common. My step-mother loved to tell the story of how someone had brought the most beautiful, delicious cake to a party. Ms. Chase, upon seeing it, threw it right in the garbage in front of everyone. My step-mother thought that was rude and selfish. If she didn't want cake, that was her choice, but she didn't have to decide for everyone else. My step-mother said she was a snooty, cold, selfish beast of woman, lol.
Ms. Chase was noted for sharing the stage with Astaire on those specials . I consider her in a trio of dancers / small parts players at the time with Sylvia Lewis and Larri Thomas .
Was Barrie Chase really big star in 1961? I was looking her Wikipedia page and she doesn't seem to have had a remarkable career. By the way she will be 87 on October 20th, 2020 (Still with us on August 20th, 2020)
She had been lifted out of the chorus by Fred Astaire and Hermes Pan for their three television specials at NBC, 1958-60. They were the most lauded ever. Barrie partnered Fred in all of them and shone in his reflected light. She was on the cover of TV Guide for the first.
@ I agree with Merrida 100. Almost invariably, when a contestant is a male from Africa, he is involved with big game hunting or, less often, bullfighting. Both professions are today considered despicable, although were acceptable back then. I remember being so disappointed to see Arlene (who is so charming and intelligent) almost drooling over a bullfighter on another episode. How sad indeed.
Barrie Chase...another member of the cast of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World that appeared on WML, joining Jimmy Durante, Jonathan Winters, Phil Silvers, Arnold Stang and Sid Caesar .
'Double speak, that is to say within the strictly applicable definition of saying one thing while meaning another, might be held to be an appropriate description in this case. Miss Francis?'

The culture of the '60s was very different from today's culture.Bullfighters would get no applause, and hunting guides who facilitated extinction of endangered species would get (at least) angry shouts. Today, the only hunters that deserve respect are those who cull invasive species, such as wild pigs and pythons.
