"When hasn't wealth been the greatest motivator of man?" It is quite possible to obtain wealth without being driven by greed or an inordinate love for money. Sadly in our day it is pure greed and the lust for sexual perversion.

Also, there was one time when a contestant was answering Dorothy Kilgallen in a very informal way and she was so angry about it. That was the only time I have seen Dorothy be upset with a contestant.

I don't know how many know or remember the staggering raw performance by Loren in 'Two Women' (1961), for which she won an Oscar, the first time for a performance in a foreign-language movie.
She was an actress in such movies back in the 1950's including "Houseboat", and also a singer at one time where she only had a song called "Bing Bang Bong", and it went nowhere on the charts. It was a fun song, but I don't know why Sophia Loren never made it to the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Take a good listen. ua-cam.com/video/FErZM58xT7g/v-deo.html
she was 34 years old, she was born in 1927, she was married to the most powerful cinema producer, and that made the diva. her sister married mussolini' s son, but I'm sure nobody in us know that. just pour parlair she acts super badly. the best italian actress at that time was virna lisi, but she was dismissed too early from the biz system: she was too blond , too white and with a pair of too blue eyes. wrong " material "to represent what they thought had to be represented as " italian", plus she ( virna) didn't marry a producer. ciao ciao.
@@lisacorimbi5045 Chi te le dice queste cazzate? Virna Lisi era bellissima, ma come attrice...La Loren, oltre che bellissima (specie dopo le plastiche) era bravissima come attrice, è andata migliorando continuamente e parlava un inglese quasi perfetto. Pensi che ai produttori sarebbe fregato qualcosa se la Lisi fosse stata in grado di portare spettatori al cinema come la Loren (per un periodo l'attrice più redditizia la botteghino americano)? L'unica rivale della Loren avrebbe potuto essere la Mangano, forse anche più brava della Loren e altrettanto bella.
here it is, the typical italian calling me names for expressing my opinion. come one, grow up and let me be. besides the "perfect english " attributable to sofia scicolone, is only in your dreams. got it?
Caught just part of this movie Two Women by chance on TV 30 years ago and still remember many of the scenes clearly. Amazing actress totally brought the movie to life.
Reminds me of her classic acting career and all the time I spent in her childhood home of Pozzuoli when I was in Naples, Italy from 1981-1983. Perhaps one of the last of "golden era" of film.
Sophia sat in front of us at the Hollywood Bowl in the early 1990's. She was with her sons. What a beautiful family. She is breathtaking up close. Stunning!

ironduke2000 We have hardly regressed in every way. You must be a white man speaking because the women’s movement and the Civil Rights Act of 1965, giving Blacks the right to vote (without the absurd rules made up in the South to deter voting by Black people), can only be called great progress for our country. I don’t think women or Black people would want to return to the 1950s.
@@errorsofmodernism9715 I thought that it was strange that LJ would bring up civil rights in response to a comment about clothes but what the hell is wrong with you? So you don't think that black people should have been given more rights? I'm pretty sure that white people have rights in any African country but if they didn't it wouldn't be justification to limit rights for anyone here.
Must watch TV as a kid in the fifties and sixties even though it was on at 10:30. Great to be able to see it again. Nothing on tv today to compare to this.
I've got to give a belated shout-out to Jim Cook and all his colleagues at the Severe Storm center. At this time I was five years old and living in Kansas City, so I well remember tornado warnings from his organization. During stormy weather when tornadoes were heading our way, we occasionally had to spend a few hours in the basement of our house listening to the radio reports from the tornado trackers. Just like the hurricane trackers featured in another WML episode, these pilots flew in dangerous weather to keep the rest of us safe, in those days before weather satellites and Doppler radar. I'm glad nobody has to do those flights now!
Its like watching these shows for the 1st time and they're great....in the mid 50s I was too young for this program and when I was older i watched other shows
"Two Women" was a wonderful film for which Sophia received the best actress Oscar, but there was another film she did in this very time period which I enjoyed even more. "It Started in Naples" (released in August 1960) paired Clark Gable with Sophia Loren (in color) and was filmed on location in Rome, Naples, and Capri. Needless to say, the cinema-photography was spectacular. Clark Gable had suddenly passed away the previous November (1960) about six months, or so, previous to the date of this WML show. "It Started in Naples" became the last of his film premier's Gable would see. (He had just finished shooting "The Misfits" with Marilyn Monroe at the time of his death). I wondered if Sophia was going to be asked about her work with Gable, but perhaps the WML producers felt it might be depressing for the audience, as well as the idea of keeping the focus on "Two Women" which Sophia came to New York to promote.
A prelude to Steve Lawrence asking 18-year-old Snooks Roark, "What are you doing after the show?" on the 25 August 1964 (I think I got the date right; I know that I got the month and year right) WML? show. It's very funny (especially Miss Roark's response(s)) - but I'll bet that Eydie gave him royal Hell for that one when he got home.
Fascinating what Mr Bennett said at 15:58 onward! They even knew about 'Geoengineering' back then. Yet people don't believe it to this day about 'Chem trailing'. MOST INTERESTING!
I just watched Johnny cash and June carter cash on the tonight show and here I am seeing a younger Johnny Carson on what’s my line because I wanted to see Sophia Loren. What are the odds of this happening?
Yes! and Sophia was offered the role of the daughter - Magnani didn't want to play mother to Sophia. Even tho Sophia was only 26 in this movie, she looked to old to be playing daughter to Magnani and that's why Magnani turned it down.
It's funny to watch the panel laugh when they guess the occupation of the guest . Also when they guess the mistery guest. They laugh like look what I did. ,😁

@@errorsofmodernism9715 I thought that it was strange that LJ would bring up civil rights in response to a comment about clothes but what the hell is wrong with you? So you don't think that black people should have been given more rights? I'm pretty sure that white people have rights in any African country but if they didn't it wouldn't be justification to limit rights for anyone here.
@@errorsofmodernism9715 yes they do have rights. What an ignorant comment. Shows how little you really know.
Panel Member: "Are you one of the most unbelievably sexy women of all time?"
Sophia: "Yeeeess"
John Daley is so suave and articulate.
Must watch TV as a kid in the fifties and sixties even though it was on at 10:30. Great to be able to see it again. Nothing on tv today to compare to this.
When asked why she had such a stunning figure Sophia replied
" I owe it all to spaghetti "
She denies saying this.
But who cares whatever she ate she looks fabulous
I've got to give a belated shout-out to Jim Cook and all his colleagues at the Severe Storm center. At this time I was five years old and living in Kansas City, so I well remember tornado warnings from his organization. During stormy weather when tornadoes were heading our way, we occasionally had to spend a few hours in the basement of our house listening to the radio reports from the tornado trackers. Just like the hurricane trackers featured in another WML episode, these pilots flew in dangerous weather to keep the rest of us safe, in those days before weather satellites and Doppler radar. I'm glad nobody has to do those flights now!
Sophia was so beautiful.
She still is
She still is a gorgeous woman.
Its like watching these shows for the 1st time and they're great....in the mid 50s I was too young for this program and when I was older i watched other shows
Sadly Pamela Proksa’s obituary can be found online! She passed away in 2009 at only 66 years of age!
Omg Johnny Carson is so young here!!!
Now that is how you greet a screen legend!
"Two Women" was a wonderful film for which Sophia received the best actress Oscar, but there was another film she did in this very time period which I enjoyed even more. "It Started in Naples" (released in August 1960) paired Clark Gable with Sophia Loren (in color) and was filmed on location in Rome, Naples, and Capri. Needless to say, the cinema-photography was spectacular. Clark Gable had suddenly passed away the previous November (1960) about six months, or so, previous to the date of this WML show. "It Started in Naples" became the last of his film premier's Gable would see. (He had just finished shooting "The Misfits" with Marilyn Monroe at the time of his death). I wondered if Sophia was going to be asked about her work with Gable, but perhaps the WML producers felt it might be depressing for the audience, as well as the idea of keeping the focus on "Two Women" which Sophia came to New York to promote.
i love all her films
Sophia Loren - beauty , grace and talent
What a chance to see these actors/actresses in their prime.
I love that John calls Sophia Loren, Mam.
When most men had manners!
I'm glad that Arlene named Ms Loren soon so that John and Bennett could have more drooling time! She is indeed very stunning.
Man, I think this young Carson guy may become something one day...
He may even have his own late night show if he keeps it up? 😁🤓🧐🤣
you guys are crazy! this will probably be the highlight of his career
😆
It's fun seeing Johnny Carson well over a year before he was to start on the Tonight Show.
Johnny Carson "Are you free tonight?" LOL!
A prelude to Steve Lawrence asking 18-year-old Snooks Roark, "What are you doing after the show?" on the 25 August 1964 (I think I got the date right; I know that I got the month and year right) WML? show. It's very funny (especially Miss Roark's response(s)) - but I'll bet that Eydie gave him royal Hell for that one when he got home.
Her performance in films with Marcelo mastroiani were unforgettable
The first thing you notice among many nice things about Sophia Loren is her eyes.
The 1st guest has the sweetest voice.
SOPHIA LOREN, WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
Disagreed.
@Calpurnia L But, she gave away her child.
Fascinating what Mr Bennett said at 15:58 onward! They even knew about 'Geoengineering' back then. Yet people don't believe it to this day about 'Chem trailing'. MOST INTERESTING!
I know right!!!?
The sexual innuendos are off the chain but so subtle 😂😂😂
Love seeing the celebrities at the prime of their lives….
OMG Sophia Loren! A goddess!
I just watched Johnny cash and June carter cash on the tonight show and here I am seeing a younger Johnny Carson on what’s my line because I wanted to see Sophia Loren. What are the odds of this happening?
so gracious as always Ms Arlene
John Daly was such a gracious,charming and polite host.Sophie Loren has great modesty-inner beauty as well outer beauty.
Arlene francis was stunning
Everybody looks ridiculous next to Sophia Loren.
BRAVO! Viva Sophia!
The role was offered to Magnani who declined. Loren was spectacular and won the OSCAR.
Yes! and Sophia was offered the role of the daughter - Magnani didn't want to play mother to Sophia. Even tho Sophia was only 26 in this movie, she looked to old to be playing daughter to Magnani and that's why Magnani turned it down.
@@ElizaDolittle exactly.
"That's even young for Mr. Daily" -- Zing!!
Sophia. Still alive and kicking at the young age of 90. May you live many more years young lady. 😊
wow she was very beautiful and talented
It's funny to watch the panel laugh when they guess the occupation of the guest . Also when they guess the mistery guest. They laugh like look what I did. ,😁
A most exotic goddess from Italy !!!! I love her and she is still with us.
my God, sophia loren just sits there and looks GORGEOUS.. wow
24:36 "You don't rub it in. You swallow it." -Arlene. She knew.
The tornado tracker looks as if his boss ordered him to go on WML for the honor of the Weather Bureau.
Yes! He seemed to have a scowl on his face. Would have made a good mobster in the old Bogart movies.
Her eyes are stunning!!!!
Johnny would take over the Tonight Show sixteen months later (October 1, 1962).
BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Is........?
Greatest of the great beauties.❤️🙏🏽 Carson interviewed her 18 yrs later.
I've just seen, "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow", for the first time. Wow!, just wow!
Would be kind of cool if all those classic movies made a come back, because of youtube channels like these
Love the banter between Cert and Daily!
Beautiful lady very classic and a wonderful actress . I LOVE THIS SHIOW IS A PITTY WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS TODAY
