    The man who had the long hair and told Arlene that his hair was natural lived in my town, Sunland-Tujunga California, located about 15 miles from the Rose Bowl. He was a tree surgeon. He died in 1971.

    Loved it! There were quite a few I’ve never seen before. I have seen the one with the contestant from around 2:10 (I think she was a mayor of a Canadian city?) and I love that one every time 😂 You can also clearly hear Arlene laughing. But I think my all time favourite “normal” contestant will always be Edle Iverson, the Norwegian barber. She had so much fun and had the greatest laugh. You can’t help but laugh along with her (that’s from April 3rd, 1955 with Fred Astaire as MG). But as always, very well done, Teddy! I had a very good start to my day thanks to this video 😊

      Mr George Thorpe was from Webster Grove, Missouri. He was an exercise instructor for a ladies reducing salon. Arlene had been very politely but clearly flirting with him and he was responding charmingly but shyly. Dorothy was egging her on and she was asking if she and Dorothy could avail themselves of his services. It was July 29, 1956 if you want to look for it.
