Agnes was such a chic and gracious woman. You just don't see people like that anymore. It's a certain type of human that just doesn't exist anymore. The grace, the elegance, the articulation, the good manners. It's 2021. Say no more...
Agnes Moorhead gave a spectacular performance in the Twilight Zone episode “The Invaders”. She performs the whole episode by herself and never says a word.
This was the best show, what brilliant guests, of whom will never see again. Agnes and Barry now they were stars, ...they were so down to earth and normal, just loved it.😍
Since day one Miss Moorehead truly captivated me with her charms her voice she was truly a fine gracious and elegant woman she is truly missed by us all who admired her 🌹
I believe the animal is called "stoat" in the summer, when its fur is reddish-brown. The fur turns white in the winter, with a black tip on the tail. It's recognizable for its use in royal clothing. As it happens, I'm also 63, and I have vivid memories of Lesley Ann Warren's gorgeous "Cinderella" ballgown, which was trimmed with ermine fur. Gorgeous!
Agnes Moorhead was cast in the original film version of John Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes of Wrath". She was one of the most versatile actress/performers I have ever witnessed; was also a superb solo performer. Her interpretive readings of classic works of literature imbued printed words with a life of their own.
@@andytaylor5476 I believe, giving it second thought, you are correct. I was thinking Agnes Moorhead was in the film version of G.O.W., but I could we'll have been mistaken. Thanks for the "heads up".
MOOREHEAD'S DEATH FROM RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT?!? - Moorehead died of uterine cancer on April 30, 1974 (was her cancer and death from the radioactive fallout?) in Rochester, Minnesota, aged 73. Her sole immediate survivor was her mother Mary, who died in 1990, aged 106. Moorehead may have developed cancer from radioactive fallout from atmospheric atomic bomb tests while making The Conqueror with John Wayne in St. George, Utah. Several production members, as well as Wayne himself, Susan Hayward, Pedro Armendáriz (who died by suicide) and its director Dick Powell, later succumbed to cancer and cancer-related illnesses. The cast and crew totaled 220 people. By the end of 1980, as ascertained by People, 91 of them had developed some form of cancer, and 46 had died of the disease.
After having solved the word chubby I had to laugh at the audience members reaction when Lollobrigida was mentioned again, because when I hear something funny I always bust out with a hearty guffaw
Love Miss Moorehead in Bewitched but for once she isn't wearing lilac. I also remember Agnes in a Jerry Lewis movie "Who's minding the store" playing the store president Mrs.Tuttle.
@@janishart5128 noway.till this day? And who says the word rolley.and he answered poley 😄.that group wasn't good at all at this game.is poley even a real word
15:55 Mrs Moorehead used iron as her word and started rubbing the card like a bottom of an iron. Is that a hint , or maybe she never even knew she was doing it
Yes I’m so glad that Elizabeth Montgomery was able to persuade her to take the role. They wisely used her as much as possible. The show has aged well. I still love watching it. The only thing that hasn’t held up terribly well is the unchanging conflict between Darren and Endora. It would be interesting if they did a count of the number of times Darren started a fight versus Endora. I’d say it was probably about 80 Darren to 20 Endora, if not more. The result for me over time was to see Darren as the real bad guy. Now what Endora did to Darren was much worse, but after greeting her so snidely as he did over and over again I would have done the same. Only I would have really let him have it! Maybe sent him to whatever planet the Robinson family were on at that point, so he could get in snotty fights with Dr Smith. She was much more forbearing than I would have been if I had possessed her powers. Now I liked Dick York and to a lesser extent Dick Sargent, but the writers should really have let up on that scenario a little. They way over did it. Things change and people change. If I had been Sam I would have had a POW WOW with Darren and negotiated a truce. Stop goading Endora and I will make her drop the joke about getting your name wrong. And I know she could have done it. Of course then the writers would have had to put in some more effort to introduce new ways for them to interact that would have made their relationship seem more realistic. But that’s what they presumably got paid big bucks for.
Dale Pidcoe Du Boistown,Pa. On the classic TV game show "Password" with host Allen Ludden,how many contestants hailed from the central Pennsylvania region?
I enjoy these but the subtext to all the who are you's is that the actors are always assumed to have more interesting lives than the contestants. On one of these, Mr. Ludden actually seemed to cut off a woman who said that she had just opened an art gallery in Paris.
@@nancyhowell4505 I don't think so. The contestants are always presented as being colorless. No lives. I like the show, but this stands out for me. Except for one curious little man from Australia who was very funny and was paired with James Mason who didn't want to be there and seemed to be in a permanent bad humor at that point in his life.
People tuned in to see stars play. And to play along at home. They didn't tune in to see contestants. And contestants weren't all self absorbed internet fantasy stars back then either thinking THEY deserved all the attention.
@@hudsony777 this was at the time when ordinary people hadn't been liberated yet. The hierarchy still was very much what ran society. The ordinary person wasn't profiled at all in the media or very rarely. Especially women who as we often see on this show are "housewives." The movie star or tv star was at the height of the social ladder, Especially in America. With the gradual introduction of faster forms of media, there was an elevation of the average Joe into the public space until with the advent of social media now all we see are average people thinking they're stars.
yeah the last 2 to 3 seasons I was really getting fed up with the directors and writers doing the same thing over and over, Darrin insult Andora, Andora puts a curse on him, rinse, Lather, repeat.
@@pikemeredith5604 l heard that she was one of the actors who worked on the film with John Wayne in Nevada. Where the had tested nuclear weapons. Many of them passed away from cancer.
In 2024 These words would never be because they ares completely not in use in our “modern” day and age. Keep in mind people use to read and use s as typewriter so there were no “autocorrect”. Lol
I can read people well, and I can read that Agnes Moorehead is really not happy about playing the game or about pretending to be gregarious with her partners. That might be the general rule among celebrities anyway. But her brief smiles are conjured and her eyes mirror annoyance, if not resentment.
The real fault lies with the writers and directors. I got so sick of them slacking off the last 3-4 seasons and just rehashing older episodes and making Darren into a spoiled whining git, and Andora going overboard. They seriously needed a big overhaul on the show.
@@kurtmorris454 Truth be told, after York departed the show went steadily downhill. An inspired episode here and there but with York gone the show lost one of its main comedic sources. Sargeant just didn’t have any flair for comedy. He was a poor substitute.
Agnes Moorehead is the epitome of graciousness and charm; a witty and wonderful woman of enormous talent.

I love Miss Mooreheads voice. It's wonderful!
And sexy!! 💜⚘️
I could listen to Agnes Moorehead talk all day long.
ME TOO!!!!! 💜
Agnes was , and still is, a treasure
She is!!

Watched Bewitched reruns as a child...loved her
You mean she should be buried?

@@michellegulden1052S 1:34 She was great in that TZ episode. She looked the same as she did playing Velma Cruthers in Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte.
Rod Serling mentioned that specific episode as his favorite.
Alienation. Double meaning: a woman alone, alienated. Visitors from an alien nation.
This was the best show, what brilliant guests, of whom will never see again. Agnes and Barry now they were stars, ...they were so down to earth and normal, just loved it.😍
It's so cool that Agnes Moorehead was a member of Orson Welles, Mercury Theatre.
Ms. Moorehead is a very serious player. I love it.
She's a total pro.
The great, Agnes Moorehead, gotta love her "RIP" 🌹
She died. When did she pass away.she was so nice.she enjoyed dick york and 99% of the people on the set disliked him .not sure why
Agnes Moorehead was a great actress 👏 👍 👌 😀.
She certainly was.
That was an 8 carat diamond brooch that Agnes Moorehead is wearing that she willed to Elizabeth Montgomery upon her death.
And her son sold it!
@@btpuppy2 sad 😔
Very interesting... Thank you for telling us! Sure was a beautiful piece of jewelry!
Dang! What a nice thing to do.

Life seemed so much simpler back then. Agnes Moorehead had a fabulous voice. Highly intelligent lady. Master's Degree
Allen Ludden's entrance always cracks me up. 0:30
He looks like he wandered into the wrong place and just decided to go with it 😆
I like Agnes's countenance when she finishes a word, "I've seen this a lot."
I'm 63 and for the first time in my life now know what Ermine is. 😄

Agnes is very witty. ♥️
Actually Agnes Moorehead and Dick York were truly good friends. They had true respect for each other.
She apparently wasn't so chummy with Dick Sargent though .
Agnes was so cool!
Qué bien conservado el vídeo!!!
De 1967 😲
1967, the year of tall hair.
Also the way Agnes wore her hair on Bewitched.

@@lynnturman8157 I believe Agnes Moorhead portrayed the matriarch of the Joad family in T.G.O.R.

A real woman Agnes Moorehead
Barry was even a finer person than I thought
Graciousness at its best.
"I used to play a hot ukulele."

Excellent actress
Barry Nelson was in The Shining with Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. He played the manager of the Overlook Hotel!
Agnes Moorehead willed that particular diamond brooch to Elizabeth Montgomery.
Barry Nelson was the first James Bond on a live TV play in the early 60's. Casino Royale.
mid - 1950's, not 1960's. Connery showed up years later in 1962
Excellent in bewitch
Agnes was Very inteligent

Gotta think 'Checker' for 'Chubby' he was still big back then. (pardon the pun)
Did agnes Moorehead and Amanda Blake know each other?
Agnes had a career decades long - she was very busy before Bewitched. I'm sure she knew her from along those many years working in Hollywood.
Don't know but I'm pretty sure Nixon knew Kissinger

Even when she referred to the British woman as her sister after their win? I doubt she would have gone that far if she were channeling resentment.
I would describe her as friendly but reserved. Undoubtedly she is meeting the contestants for the first time, a proper person is going to be reserved.
