You think old TV was boring? Meet Arlene Francis on "What's my line?" 

Arlene and Dorothy were smart beautiful and classy ladies!

Arlene, in 1959 (51/52 years old) is one of the most attractive women I’ve seen at any age. She looked so beautiful and that personality; nobody close to that now.

She just oozes sensuality. She had personality and character galore... and the most beautiful shoulders in the business.

Ah, Arlene, forever charming and dear to our hearts.

"Miss Arlene" was one of a kind. She never got enough credit for how witty she was.

She was an absolute doll! And the truly amazing thing was that she got more attractive as the years went on!

She was quite the character. 😂❤

Arlene was a national treasure for sure. And, after hearing about her personal hardships/Bad luck in life it is amazing she was able to stay so positive!

Arlene was just tops!! 😃

Love ❤ Arlene Francis, aways a great! Rip forever more ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That is a great collidascope of Arlene. Thanks!

I would loved to have joined in their after-show cocktail parties!

no click bait in THAT title I'll second that emotion Arlene's kindness shines oddly enough, the only thing I know about her husband Martin Gabel is he must've been kind+special -- as evidenced by the fact Arlene Francis married him

Ooooh, that was great! I especially loved the “is a husband a friend of the family” conversation 😂 Thank you, Paula!

No one on rte planet like her. No one.

This was a GREAT game show!!

Gorgeous, witty, brainy, charming, sexy...Arlene really had it all.

She was so CUTE. Thanks for posting this; great editing work on your part.

I enjoyed this so much!

Arlene was one spicy gal!

Thanks Paula ! Great job, I just LOVE Miss Francis. I am envious of my parents generation that got to see her on stage and in the “What’s My Line” theater.

you are single handedly carrying the fandom and I thank you. excellent video as always!!!

Forever my favourite pannel

Mmmmm Mmmmm, ARLENE ! SUCH A FABULOUS LADY ! BEAUTIFUL ! I LOVED HER !

Fantastic compilation. She was so great! Appreciate her more as time goes on. One of a kind!

Great compilation. Thank you!

You need to add the one where she’s questioning a San Francisco cable car operator. She asks if she would be likely to come for his services, then says “ I think he’d LIKE me to come for them!” Then she asks if fellow panelist Tony Randall would also be liable to come. she asks if she and Tony Randall could come together. Then, when she realizes the services are performed outdoors, she turns to Tony Randall, and says “what can we do together outdoors?”😄😄

😂😂😂 The best!

I love her accent

❤

Arlene Francis (1907 -- 2001) was Armenian American, her birth name, Arlene Francis Kazanjian. Arlene's dad (Aram Kazanjian) was an Art Student, in France, when her Grandparents were counted among 200,000 Ottoman Christian Armenians slaughtered in the Hamidian Massacres (1894 -- 1896). Arlene was an 8 year old girl, with her parents, in Manhattan, New York, when the century old Armenian Genocide claimed the lives of 1,500,000 Armenians.

Such a smart A$$

05/15/24: At the very start, you MUST annotate what happened before the exchange took place. Otherwise, the point of Arlene's insinuation ("are you thinking...") is completely LOST. As is, it's IMPOSSIBLE to understand why she said what she said, and why her genial retort was amusing.

People theses days have no sense of humor like they used to. The world is way too serious. Sadly.

Hal Block was funny like Arlene.
