    In 1971, at the age of 39, Angeli was found dead of an accidental overdose at her home in Beverly Hills, but In a letter to a friend just before her death, Pier said “…My love died at the wheel of a Porsche. It’s now been 17 years that I’ve been lonely, desperately lonely. I want to find peace and be free and finally be with my father and Jimmy again.”

    I worked with Paul Winchell's son, Stacy back in the early 70s on the ambulance in LA. He was attending UCLA med school and worked a couple of days a week. We worked in the Hollywood and West Hollywood area. He looked so much like Paul in this episode. Paul was a student in medicine too as I recall Stacy telling me. Don't know whatever became of Stacy but he was good to work with.

      If he ever treated a woman violently, any obituary writer who mentions it is at risk for unemployment. This is because the actor has outlived virtually any woman he might have mistreated, so no hard evidence exists.
      If a “warts-and-all book,” so to speak, about him is ever published, its author and its readers will be a day late and a dollar short.

      @Muirmaiden - Major media outlets already have prepared obituaries for Kirk Douglas. When they circulate, you might find that they mention The Ragman’s Son, but they won’t go into detail about his violent treatment of women in the 1950s. That is a part of Tinseltown history that interests the same few people who gossip about the types of dresses that Pier Angeli wore.
      A mass audience pays attention only to 1950s Cinemascope movies and to kinescopes of intelligent game shows. Other stuff is water under the bridge. May the allegedly anti-Semitic lady rest in peace.

    When I was in junior high school, they offered Arthur Murray dance lessons in the gymnasium during the noon hours. That's how we learned to dance back in the 40's. Fox-trot, waltz, two-step, etc. Unfortunately, that's where my dancing abilities became petrified. There were feet drawn and numbered in paper on the floor showing where to step, and one stepped on them in proper order. My dance partner, Gordon Best and I even entered the season's end contest. I don't think we won it. I know of only a very few of us still alive who can dance "properly" with each other anymore. Unfortunately Gordon moved to Sacramento during high school, so at dance parties, I mostly watch everyone and drink gin.

    John Daly never asks the second challenger where she is from. It is apparently an oversight because there would be nothing about that information that would have given a clue to her occupation. Bennett Cerf usually called John on it when the challenger's location was omitted, but he wasn't there for this episode and no one else stepped to the plate.

      well i don't think so because i read in a website "vintage paparazzi" whish he talked about the real reason why they divorced and is was his mother-in-law who controlled her daughter and keep telling how a bad husband he was and that's why she didn't wanna be with him anymore even after the birth of their son Perry. Ithink he was so much in love with her and she was too because in the same website she confesses how much she loved Vic so much .I think it's the truth because she could marry James Dean but her mother refused cause he wasn't Catholic and i think in gerenal after all i said that her mother who killed her inside and vic was a victim of Pier's unforgettable love to Dean even Vic and Pier met before she knows Dean and asked her out so many times and it was good between them but unfornately after joining the army Pier mets James? I wished that Vic was the true love of Pier and not James and that is just an opinion.

      gcjerryusc I've retired to a villa in France. ;) There are ad revenues, yes, but honestly, it's a pittance when you consider (a) Everything on UA-cam is geared towards the really huge channels. Not even a solidly, consistently highly viewed channel like this means anything to YT. I'm beyond small potatoes. You need to have hundreds of thousands of views a day to really earn substantial money on UA-cam. (b) If you divided what the ad revenues have brought in by the number of hours I've put into to this, I earn less than Chinese children assembling iPhones. (c) It's the funds from ad revenues that enable me to do things like lay out $500 of my own personal money to acquire the "lost" episode of WML from 10/1/50 earlier this year, not to mention having the equipment and software I need.
      This was a labor of love, not an attempt to earn money. I honestly only ever enabled the ads because I felt that UA-cam would recommend the videos a lot more if they were directly earning money on them (they get 45% of any ad revenue). And this did, in fact, turn out to be the case. Within a month of enabling ads, three years ago, the channel viewership literally doubled.
      I always encourage people to use AdBlock if the ads annoy them, and all ads can be skipped in 5 seconds even without AdBlock (some channel owners set it up so that ads can't be skipped, which earns them more money at the expense of forcing viewers to sit through ads that can be several minutes long). Otherwise I wouldn't have them on here at all. Just a clarification, not that I want to give the impression that I have any problem with the question.
      And thanks for the kind words!

Too pitty her mother was so ambitious/dominating, and as I see it, without good judgement concerning men. Watch Damone and Angeli again, and see the frightened girl, grateful for every sign of good mood and smile from her husband. Makes me sick, because I've seen couples like that before.

      I grew up about 10 miles from Youngstown and had an aunt who lived in Hubbard. My aunt's husband was a musician who played at the big nightclub in Youngstown, the Mural Room. Although he was blind, he played the piano and organ simultaneously. He also had a sideline as a piano tuner.
      In those years, that was a wonderful area to grow up in. Fueled by the steel industry, prosperity reigned for almost everyone. Crime was practically nonexistent. As kids, we were able to roam freely, play ball in any empty field, explore the nearby woods, and a thousand other things that kids can't readily do now. As Archie and Edith used to sing, "those were the days".

    I loved the film "Somebody Up There Likes Me" that starred Paul Newman as Rocky Graziano and Pier Angeli as his wife. From that point on, I've always considered Newman to be one of the handsomest men that I had ever seen.
    Twenty years later, there was another boxing movie, the first sports movie to win an academy award. That movie also featured a woman who would eventually marry the boxer who was the title role in the movie, although the marriage didn't occur until a sequel. I see a fairly close resemblance between Miss Angeli and Talia Shire, who played Adrian Pennino Balboa in the Rocky franchise of movies.
    Rocky Graziano's birth name was Thomas Rocco Barbella. "Rocky Barbella" is very similar to "Rocky Balboa". Rocky Balboa's character, however, was based on heavyweight fighter Chuck Wepner.
