    I thought it was interesting that when Arlene guessed it was Gertrude Berg, she referred to her as "MISS Berg, because Gertrude Berg was considered an "older women" and, back then, even women referred - respectfully - to older women as 'Miss' or "Mrs"__________. Among women, it was unusual to use another woman's else's first name until invited to do so. It was a sign that you were inviting them to assume a friendship was developing. You will find this product of 'manners' was very prevalent up until the '70s, and especially between women. (Men didn't usually ask for permission to use another man's first name.) And this is how 'good manners' persisted even throughout the 'Swingin' Sixties.'
    And yes, What's My Line was the classiest of the 'game shows.' You could see the culture that was in place back then on a show like this.

    Fun fact… John Charles Daley only missed 2 games in 16 years and that was out of his control.. he never called in sick once either. Dang… this man took his job very seriously and we loved him. I was very saddened to hear Arlene had dementia later on in life and of course, when we lost Dorothy to murder… that was horrific. Disgusting how the NYPD handled that case when we all know they knew what truly happened to her.
