    When Robert Mitchum was asked about his wife during the questioning, it prompted me to look up a little more about him. Like most people, he had his faults and an occasional controversy. But I admire that he met his future wife when they were teens and neither was a celebrity, they eventually married and remained married for 57 years until his death. I was not fortunate to have a long marriage. I admire those who do, especially in the cauldron of temptation that is the entertainment industry. Based on everything I read, he was a devoted family man upon the birth of their first child and no mention of a dalliance with anyone outside of his marriage.

      Are you crazy!?? Mitchum was flagrantly and habitually unfaithful to his wife, Dorothy. I know his son, Jim, and he told me his father had over 200 affairs just in the 1950's alone. Read Shirley MacLaine's book, he was the love of her life and they had an affair for over a year.

      I always thought Mitchum was limited. He played one type of character really well and had rugged good looks, but he was never going to play an everyman, do Shakespeare, or do comedy. If he ever did any of these things, I haven't seen it. He once said acting was easy--- you show up, hit your marks, say your lines, and go home. Well, that is easy, if you only ever play the same emotionless character.

    Robert Mitchum was in the weirdest I ever saw as a little kid. "Night of the Hunter". Very surreal.
    I think it was Lillian Gish's last movie, and of course Shelley Winters.
    Peter Graves (as a prisoner with Mitchum) was in it, too.

    Dorothy's group question. Pain killers? However -- In 1957, legendary singer Sophie Tucker appeared as a mystery guest. She used a very deep voice but the panel discovered she was a female. Dorothy found it all confusing and asked her if she were a group. That got a huge laugh at that time, too.

    One of the BEST episodes of this show I've ever seen!! The late, great ROBERT MITCHUM was my late mother's all-time favorite actor. Her name was Dorothy and both she and Mr. Mitchum died in 1997. His wife also happened to be named Dorothy. He was a towering figure in pictures in the 40s and 50s but I never knew he could be so funny. My mother thought he was so handsome. Incidentally, Mr. John Lindsay was the mayor of NYC the same year that I was born there in June of 1968, only two weeks after New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy was slain. I was born in New York Presbyterian, the same hospital where many famous people have DIED, including President Richard Nixon, Andy Warhol, Malcolm X, Rue McClanahan, NYC Mayor Ed Koch, Nora Ephron, Lauren Bacall among them. Sadly, after spending the first whole month of my life in the preemie ward there in the summer of '68, it was ALL downhill from there. lolz

    The way Dorothy is dressed here is the result of her slipping on a throw rug, and injuring her shoulder.
    But the injury turned out to be a lot more serious than assumed, and so she would be hospitalized for three weeks.
    Sheila MacRae, Anita Gillette, and Marlo Thomas would fill in for Dorothy during this three-week period.

    One of the most original of Dorothy's outfits. I like it, even though she looks like she is about to go to bed. It is hiding her arm in a sling.
    2:50 --> Here is where we got the information about what happened to Dorothy . . . .sort of. He makes it clear it was an accident with a throw rug, so that's where my mother heard of it; I remember her saying at the time she would never have the dangerous things in HER house. I thought it was a collarbone break. Shoulder. Apparently there is a difference.
