What's My Line? - Charles Atlas; Jane Powell; Jack E. Leonard [panel] (Jun 10, 1956) 

It’s just so amazing to see and hear all these legends from the past ……… such a privilege …… they don’t make them like that anymore😪

Everybody is so slim well dressed well spoken and polite WHATS happened ! .

Jane Powell was very pretty & a wonderful actress 😊

George Axelrod should have spent some of his money on braces for his teeth. Another stellar episode due to the absence of stuffy, boring Bennett.

She is gorgeous

Jack E Leonard is as boring an individual as you could care to find. Such humour is definitely past its worth.

I like to see the way people used to dress in those days. They respected themselves and others. I am not saying that we should back to wear ties and heels all the time, but nowadays a lot of people dresses as if they were to wash the car.

Jane Powell is simply lovely. She truly lights up the room.

I only put this on to watch Charles Atlas and I ended up watching the whole thing! It's a pity they ran out of time for the last one. Also, it's nice watching a panel show where nobody is getting criticized or bullied for the benefit of the audience and viewing figures. Ah, the old days...

Every comic book I ever read had an ad for Charles Atlas...he's an original, and led the fitness movement.

I loved how Jane Powell signed. her name.

the experts made fun of Charles Atlas and his "dynamic tension" until they discovered "isometrics"

I LOVE Jane Powell's signature. I wish George Axelrod had appeared more often. He was a sweetie

Miss. Powell’s signature was absolutely beautiful!

26 years old at the time, Jane Powell gave birth to her second child on 2/1/1956, about 4½ months before this aired. Say what you want about Charles Atlas. The top professional dancers also knew how to stay in shape.

Jane Powel is still alive as of March 7, 2020 age 90

Such a classy show.....I was 8 years old. when this aired. I enjoy watching one a night now... really takes me back. Thanks you for posting.

How lovely was Jane Powell! And that signature was amazing.

It is amazing how witty and off the cuff those old Hollywood celebs were. Nothing like the self absorbed zombies we have today. Loved seeing an older and distinguished looking Charles Atlas. It was very apropos that Arlene Francis guessed him an outdoorsman.

I like this George Axelrod. He seems a little awkward and nerdy. He would have been fun to talk to.

What a great show. Charming, funny people. All in the infancy of television. What happened?

Jane Powell is a Doll!

I bought the Charles Atlas course many years ago and still have it! It won't make you look like Arnold- like Tarzan, maybe!

Mr. Axelrod looks a little like Jack Larson (Jimmy olsen)

Funny Charles Atlas look like a normal guy -- not the pumped up specimens we see today in Body building. Natural or otherwise,

Cute smile by Dorothy Kilgallen at 6:57 !

Are you a blonde...Sometimes- how real!

Wow. George Axelrod just crushed that one.

As someone commented, Charles Atlas looked small compared to today's bodybuilders, but his program is still sold and he was active until his death at 72. Maintaining for the most part his physique.

Charles Atlas was a good-looking guy!

I've known George Axelrod as a playwright for decades but have never seen him before. I was expected some dumpy middle-aged chain smoker. Imagine my shock! I thought he was a great panelist and wish he did more.

Mr. Atlas is 64 here and you can still tell he is pretty big because of how his suit fits him. Probably a solid size or 2 larger to accommodate his shoulders judging on the waist of his coat.

Jane Powell is the BEST!

Loved her in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers . . .

Jiminy Cricket, this is one heck of a terrific show!

George Axelrod made an excellent panelist. I don't share the dislike of Fat Jack. He did waste a bit of time when questioning Charles Atlas, but otherwise, he was quite well behaved - in particular, his final question for Jane Powell was actually quite charming.

Jane never looked more beautiful in her entire life. She was never noted for her beauty bu much more for her abundant TALENT. She was a TERRIFIC SINGER, could hold her own DANCNG with Fred Astaire, and a gifted comedienne.

At 17:25 did John Daly snort with laughter

I love how Dorothy always politely raises her had to ask questions of the guests, after their line has been established, instead of just blurting out the question when John or the guest is talking. When people just blurt out things, it makes it so we can't hear anything, and we probably miss some cool stuff. She raised her had at the very end of the show with the woman who dove into water with a horse, but there was so little time John didn't call on her.

The second challenger said that she was from Woodland Hills, California. There is an unusually high number of actors, actresses and other show business luminaries who drew their last breath in Woodland Hills. It is the location of the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital, a service of a fund on behalf of members of those two entertainment media. Among the more famous people who passed away while a resident there: Bud Abbott, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Mary Astor, Jerry Colonna, Ellen Corby, Bob Cummings, Yvonne De Carlo, Fred de Cordova, Tom Ewell, Norman Fell, Larry Fine, Max Fleischer, Hoot Gibson, Harold Gould, Jean Hagen, DeForest Kelley, Stanley Kramer, Ken Maynard, Joel McCrea, Hattie McDaniel, Donald O'Connor, Susan Oliver, Madlyn Rhue, Mack Sennett, Norma Shearer, Jay Silverheels, Jan Sterling, Regis Toomey, Forrest Tucker and Alan Young.

Wow! Just Wow! THE GOD of physical fitness!

I agree that it is amazing to see so many famous people that came on this show that so many of us grew up with if not directly in the films then on television and when I was a kid I actually love this show

So that's Charles Atlas, now I have a face to go with the name.

Jane Powell, the most lovely eyes in the business

Jane Powell: always my favorite

Jane Powell was a fabulous dancer.

This truly was the golden age. Every one of the panelists dressed elegantly and tastefully in appropriate evening wear. Everyone's manners were impeccable. They were urbane, sophisticated, convivial and utterly charming. How can anyone watch this and not lament it's loss? Certainly, evening wear is not appropriate for wearing day to day, but it's not that much trouble to put on a sports jacket and/or tie now and again.

Jane Powell is STILL ALIVE! As of October 1st, 2018.

JANE POWELL TURNS 90 NEXT APRIL...HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANIE GIRL....

Elocution is a lost art

Jokes were funnier and women were prettier and more refined than anything today.

How come they did not recognize such ICON? CHARLES ATLAS WAS A ROLL MODEL FOR ALL NATIONS IN THE WORLD.

Comments left on prior version of this video: Todd Brandt 1 year ago George Axelrod was a quite charming and very good guest panelist. Did he ever join the panel again? What's My Line? 1 year ago +Buffoon1980 Guess I was remembering wrong! Glad you're enjoying the shows. :) Johan Bengtsson 8 months ago I agree, he was intelligent and asked good questions. Todd Brandt 8 months ago Arlene and Jane Powell seem to be having a sleeve showdown! Todd Brandt 8 months ago Dorothy was uncharacteristically off during the Mystery Guest segment. It had already been established that the MG was blonde, and not a 20th Century Fox player, yet she guessed Debra Paget -- who was brunette and under contract to Fox. Jimmy Flanagan 6 months ago Never heard of Jack Leonard but I found hin very funny MediaGold 4 months ago Ditto for me as well! TheGadgetPanda 1 year ago Jack E. Leonard has to have been the most consistently annoying panelist they ever had. He just bugs me. Robert collins 1 year ago I found Wally Cox, Hal Block and Grouch Marx just as annoying. Rikard Peterson 1 year ago I enjoyed his contribution, but I can totally see how he could be annoying. Wouldn't want too much of him. What's My Line? 1 year ago I'm just noticing this comment about Groucho being annoying as a panelist. Really?!? I'm heavily biased, as a life long Marx Brothers fanatic, but I thought Groucho's first appearance on the panel was the funniest WML show I ever saw. Yes, he derails the program, but he's doing it on purpose, unlike panel members like Cox who killed the shows they were on simply because they were pure dead weight. CC-Tron 1 year ago +What's My Line? After watching the Wally Cox panelist episode again. He was definitely slowing the show down on purpose. He was in his Mr. Peepers character that entire episode. Groucho just completely ruined the celebrity guest segment all together. Johan Bengtsson 8 months ago Jane Powell is still alive and will be 86 years this year. The movie she made with Jack E. Leonard in 1953 was "Three Sailors and a Girl". Johan Bengtsson 8 months ago This is the first time a guest signs in as "Mr X. 2:35 joed596 5 months ago thank you :-)

Charles Atlas use to advertise in the back of comic books

Miss Francis always looked amazing and dressed beautifully. Unfortunately on this particular evening she barely had room to sit at the table properly due to the width of her sleeves.

Powell had the cutest little shape ever and such a cute FACE.

How did he guess Charles Atlas based on what was asked?

Finally i see the man behind Frank-n-Furter's Seal of Approval

Charles Atlas-Angelo-Scilano?

Sarah Detwiler married Eugene Charles "Gene" Hart (1931-1999) who was well known as "the voice of the Philadelphia Flyers".

I liked Leonard. Thought he was very funny and clever. He had a charming smile.

I was so sorry when I saw that she died just a few days ago (Sept.16, 2021)!

Well Ms. Powell joined Ms. Arlene in the 90 years plus club .

JANE IS ADORABLE.

Jack Leonard is so irritating. Jane Powell is soooooo beautiful 😍😍😍

Jane is still with us. She was married to the child actor, Dicke Moore.

Jane Powell is and always will be a beautiful woman. Jack E. Leonard is great too. He mentioned the song number they did in the film. It was a great part of the film. Jane Powell really showed off her beautiful legs and figure in that film!

I understand times were different, and things vary based on local, but as someone who's been riding horses since I was quite young, it's so painful to watch/hear about people doing this -- the danger to the horse (even trained). They're not designed for this. It just breaks my heart to pieces. ----------- In other aspects, I absolutely loved this episode and I really am enjoying George Axelrod as a panelist. He's very entertaining.

George Axlerod was adorable

I liked Jack Leonard's remark to Charles Atlas: "I didn't recognise you with your clothes on!" (ha ha)

I lived in Apopka, Florida for 12 years.

George Axelrod - grandfather to Critical Role's Taliesin Jaffe!

Arlene’s dress. Loving the sleeves. OMGosh!! Adorable!!!

I never, ever could stand or tolerate Jack E. Leonard. When he was on quiz shows, his partner never could make a dime because of his cracking jokes. Can't stand, can't stand, can't stand!!!!!!!!

40 feet on horse back into water?????? you just described the getaway scene after the bank robbery in your average Western! I have always wondered how such a diminutive person had such a dynamic voice like Jane Powell. "7 Brides for 7 Brothers " is one of my favorite movies of all time! "Bless your Beautiful Heart......." mia sententia 🦂🥂

Arlene is stunningly attractive, here.

Jack E. Leonard first time on panel ... and first three (including Ms Powell) were obviously chosen because of two male panelists (both under muscular, Jack bald, and he knew Jane)

Charles Atlas was asked if he used any implements in his line of work and he said no. What are barbells etc if not implements?

We've come a long way. Back then IKE was in the White House and ELVIS was on the radio. Today, if you turn on a radio someone is swearing at you (rap "music") and we have a squatter in the White House.

Geez, why the hate to Jack? I didn't cringe once

Jack Leonard was driving me nuts on this show. He is so winded and never gets to the point. He's so hell bound on every bit of laughter that the game is second to him.

Jane Powells writing is soo beautiful

Jack E. Leonard was so funny but never tried to takeover the show or waste time.

RIP Ms. powell

Okay, so the Jackster wasn't the best panelist, but I thought he was a decent one for just trying. But the guy did provide for some amusement. So did Groucho Marx when he was a panelist. See them for who they are: entertainers!

I wonder if Charles Atlas had written his name on the blackboard; ANGELO SICILIANO Would the name give the secret away ? Wikipedia has tons of information about Atlas in his great Bio. That cartoon ad was a great ad and was an ad that lasted for decades. I forgot who created that great cartoon strip, I think his last name was Rome but I'm not sure ? P.S. Arlene was force to wear that outfit, I like her but not that outfit. Jane Powell wearing her puffy shoulders too must have been a style at that time. Adding too much on women's clothes usually doesn't work in my opinion. All the female guests were good looking. This was one of the best shows. Jane Powell is super cute, I loved looking at her.

That last guest was hardcore!

Jane Powell.... yummy yummy.

15:30 What is John Daly fumbling away sneakily ?? He has something on his desk, and when he sees the new camera showing him from the side, he looks at a paper, then sees the mystery item, cups it with his hands and slides it into his lap. Very curious. The moment happens at 15:40

Dives on horseback 45 feet into a tank on horseback. Guess PETA wasn't around in 1956.

Miss Powell is absolutely adorable !!!

the problem with Charles Atlas' participation is that they didn't decide what he does: trains himself for show, trains others, manages a gym. He can wear a suit when he manages. He can train a person outdoors. etc.

It seems cat calling pretty girls was fine to do back then, almost expected.

The face Jack E. Leonard makes at 13:13.....😆

Jane was a good friend with Debbie Raynolds , at times enjoying ridding the bicycles along with Debbie around the movie business properties ha ha ha... funny stuff indeed. Jane still as fit as a fiddle !!! Just turned 90 !!! Very Long Live sweetheart !!!!

I wish they still only had 30 second commercials these days. Some of them go on for 4 to 5 minutes! YUCK! Thank God for the mute button 😊

The signature is so affectatious.

BODYBUILDER CHARLES ATLAS MAKES WIGS DIVES 45 FEET INTO TANK OF WATER ON HORSEBACK

Jack Leonard trying to be the Wally Cox of the panel and failing.

Jane Powell was fun. I didn't recognize her name. She started her career at an early age: "Through her adolescence on the MGM lot, Ms. Powell made friendships with young stars including Elizabeth Taylor. 'I was a bridesmaid at her first wedding, and she was one at mine. I'm glad we stopped it, or it would have become a full-time career,' Ms. Powell joked of her five marriages and Taylor's eight."
