      But Jane lied about not knowing if she had a film in release at the movie theatres on Broadway. At the time of this WML show Jane had lost her MGM contract and had not had a film in release for over a year and there was no prospect of one going into release anytime soon. He movie career was in free fall and it would be another year and half before she had any film in the theatres... and it turned out to be a box office flop at that. No wonder she was cagey about answering the question about her film career.

      When was the last time you saw man or boy in a simple tie and jacket while dining out?
      Wearing a coat and tie was NOT considered getting dressed up but rather just good manners in some situations.

      I disagree. This was a fancy show. Actually in those days it would have been considered square or excessive to wear a dress coat like these men. Business men often wore plain suits, but many Americans in the 1950's embraced casual-wear very much... Now jump to the 70s and you have something there.

The upscale places where boys used to wear a jacket and tie to eat, now belong to a more narrow group of people, if you'll pardon the expression.

      Always remember, though, that broadcast radio, TV, and all social media was and remains an artifice to an extent. These are presentations for an audience's consumption. How these people handled their private lives, how they behaved to each other off camera, we'll never really know. They present as people you feel you know, and that you'd like to spend time with. That kept advertisers happy and funded the production.

      If you built your size naturally without injecting ten thousand miligrams of anabolics into your body, you will still be pretty big once you are older as long as you don't let yourself go. Most people let themselves go as they get older and become a weak mess. And if you built your body on steroids or trt, you better hope you would be able to afford those things for life because once you stop taking them your body will shrink.

    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 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."

      An implement is a tool, something you use on something else, like, e.g., a writing implement is used on a piece of paper. Dumbbells aren't implements, they're just objects. All implements are objects; all objects are not implements. Are boxing gloves implements? :)
