Yes, they were both brilliant, and I suspect each of them had a few choice phrases that could have made a sailor blush. Sadly, Dorothy left us far too early, but Arlene lived well into her 90s.
Arlene was a national treasure for sure. And, after hearing about her personal hardships/Bad luck in life it is amazing she was able to stay so positive!
no click bait in THAT title I'll second that emotion Arlene's kindness shines oddly enough, the only thing I know about her husband Martin Gabel is he must've been kind+special -- as evidenced by the fact Arlene Francis married him
Probably not, though she was reportedly the highest paid of all the panelists on the show, so at least someone recognized her abilities and contributions to the program.
Arlene, in 1959 (51/52 years old) is one of the most attractive women I’ve seen at any age. She looked so beautiful and that personality; nobody close to that now.
Thanks Paula ! Great job, I just LOVE Miss Francis. I am envious of my parents generation that got to see her on stage and in the “What’s My Line” theater.
Oh no no, I'm not alone, if it wasn't for a few people before me, I wouldn't even have the courage to start doing it. So I really owe them and appreciate them, Teddy & Jocelyn. Nevertheless thank You very very very much for being one of my greatest supporters❤️
You need to add the one where she’s questioning a San Francisco cable car operator. She asks if she would be likely to come for his services, then says “ I think he’d LIKE me to come for them!” Then she asks if fellow panelist Tony Randall would also be liable to come. she asks if she and Tony Randall could come together. Then, when she realizes the services are performed outdoors, she turns to Tony Randall, and says “what can we do together outdoors?”😄😄
Arlene Francis (1907 -- 2001) was Armenian American, her birth name, Arlene Francis Kazanjian. Arlene's dad (Aram Kazanjian) was an Art Student, in France, when her Grandparents were counted among 200,000 Ottoman Christian Armenians slaughtered in the Hamidian Massacres (1894 -- 1896). Arlene was an 8 year old girl, with her parents, in Manhattan, New York, when the century old Armenian Genocide claimed the lives of 1,500,000 Armenians.
Marlene could flirt with male contestants, but if Martin even hinted at flirting with any of the women, Arlene made it clear that she did not like it one bit. 😂
05/15/24: At the very start, you MUST annotate what happened before the exchange took place. Otherwise, the point of Arlene's insinuation ("are you thinking...") is completely LOST. As is, it's IMPOSSIBLE to understand why she said what she said, and why her genial retort was amusing.

Arlene and Dorothy were smart beautiful and classy ladies!

Honey bears
She just oozes sensuality. She had personality and character galore... and the most beautiful shoulders in the business.
Ah, Arlene, forever charming and dear to our hearts.
Arlene was a national treasure for sure. And, after hearing about her personal hardships/Bad luck in life it is amazing she was able to stay so positive!
She was the cutest and prettiest.
no click bait in THAT title
I'll second that emotion
Arlene's kindness shines
oddly enough, the only thing I know about her husband Martin Gabel is
he must've been kind+special -- as evidenced by the fact Arlene Francis married him
She was an absolute doll! And the truly amazing thing was that she got more attractive as the years went on!
She was quite the character. 😂❤
Love ❤ Arlene Francis, aways a great!
Rip forever more ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That is a great collidascope of Arlene. Thanks!
Arlene was just tops!! 😃
Loved seeing this glimpse into this era. Imagine Arlene at a party? How fun would that be? Bring Bennett along,too!
"Miss Arlene" was one of a kind. She never got enough credit for how witty she was.
Probably not, though she was reportedly the highest paid of all the panelists on the show, so at least someone recognized her abilities and contributions to the program.
@@ajs11201 Even when Dorothy was on?
@m.e.d.7997
I had heard that Arlene was the highest paid, but I cannot prove that.
Arlene was the best part of the show!

Gorgeous, witty, brainy, charming, sexy...Arlene really had it all.
This was a GREAT game show!!
Thanks Paula ! Great job, I just LOVE Miss Francis. I am envious of my parents generation that got to see her on stage and in the “What’s My Line” theater.

Such a smart A$$
In the best way!

People theses days have no sense of humor like they used to. The world is way too serious. Sadly.
Whatever
They could get great laughs without using foul language!
Hal Block was funny like Arlene.
Perhaps, but he lacked all charm and wit.
@@md_vandenbergyeah, he could be crass and vulgar 😊
Male or female: if you don't love Arlene - go see a shrink!
