![What's My Line? - Zsa Zsa Gabor (Mar 29, 1953) [REPLACEMENT FOR GLITCHED VERSION]](/img/n.gif)
Omg Dorothy is the best part of this show. She’s soooooo good at this it’s amazing
Eva Gabor was really enjoying her time as a guest. :)
I always felt she was the prettiest of the sisters n had real natural charm n comedic talent!
All evident here
Eva, gorgeous, charming had joy to share along with a marvelous sense of humor. No wonder she was captivating in GREEN ACRES.
RIP Eva Gabor. Stunning lady :-)
John Daly is a delightful host.
That is right. He absolutely makes the show.
Absolutely!!! Dignified without being too stiff!
Respects his guests absolutely!
No trace of irony, sarcasm, one-upping, put-downs.
We have lost a lot!!
I don’t like how close he gets to the women during one of the “conferences”
@@sassytbc7923 He was borderline creepy in that respect at times!
@@donaldstanfield8862
As much as you or half as much?
Eva is rocking the 'Marilyn' look! Thanks for posting.
Loved Eva Gabor, she was beautiful and loved her Accent. Wish she would have had a more Hollywood career. She was 35 here
Six years of "Green Acres", but nothing else that I can name.
@@ChrisHansonCanada Eva had a very lucrative wig line called Gabor wigs. She advertised it in print ads everywhere. It's STILL active. Once in awhile HSN features it but I don't know who profits from it since Eva didn't have children & wasn't married when she passed. Loved her on Green Acres as a small child. Btw-that IS how Hungarians talk. My mom was Hungarian & had some relatives immigrate here & they ALL sounded like the Gabors! I called them Auntie ZsaZsa & Auntie Eva! They thought that was funny! RIP Eva.
What a classic show .. sheer class in the host, panel, guests and the celebrity guest.. everyone speaks their mind .. no filters no political correctness ..live audience .. what more could you ask for .. wish I could go back in time !
I'm afraid that Political Correctness is rife through this - it always has. What is considered to be political correct is all that has changed.
@Open Book agreed & had social media been around then most opinions of it would be quite different
They provided their own filters for political correctness: They were intelligent, civilized people.
Eva was many times over a better actress than her sister, who really couldn't act anyway. People who worked with Eva only had the nicest things to say about her, especially her co-star on "Green Acres", Eddie Albert. This was such a wonderful panel show. Thanks for bringing it to us!
I think Eva was the sweetest of the Gabors .....isn´t she???
I agree. Eva was so down to earth, but her older sister Zsa Zsa was conceited.
@@lynettepalecek3141 100% spot on! Eva was beautiful inside & out. Her sister only had beauty on the outside. I'll leave it at that!
Yes, I like her much better
No question.
Awesome beauty.
Eva Gabor really was a great beauty.
I always thought that Eva was the loveliest, the most charming and simply the most delightfully likable of the Gabor's I was only slightly less than heartbroken when Green Acres was canceled. She was simply irresistibly appealing on that sweet show....
She and Eddie Albert were perfect for the show. The best rural comedy show ever produced.
she was except for probably the quickest exit after being guessed
I was hoping she'd speak a little after they guessed 😢
Arlene Francis is sharp. Her comment, "She's a very dangerous woman, you can't tell her no's from her yes's" Holds up right here, right now. Love her.
It would have been a blast to have met her!
Watching these episodes makes me feel so happy and at ease thanks for uploading them!
Indeed. I find them very relaxing even now during the time of SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19.
Really? I feel old.
~Yes, indeed this show is pleasurable but I cannot get enough....
@@flszen
Rofl.
Eva was a very beautiful woman. And talented.
"John's been peeking." Lol... Arlene was quick with the quips, and they always got a laugh.
Arlene was great... ‘a very
dangerous woman you can’t tell her no’s from her Yes ‘s
Yes Arlene was my favorite panelist. She loved to flirt with some of the men guests as well. Great sense of humor. She always made me laugh.
@@jackrobinson5974 You could say that again before I could say your name.
Love this show! It makes me realize what sweet, innocent times they were. At least, in my mind.
@marie-elena waldrip. That’s so right,those were the best times,so much less stress,anxiety and worries....people lived and had fun
Depends on your skin color.

@@budderkupp1282,so true. Due towards the Racially division & tension between the Caucasian and Melanin aka Black people.
That sweet Betty Lehn at the end looked about 14 years old. What a wonderful experience for her! And watching this now in 2024 there’s at least a chance she is still with us. The thought warms my heart.
I watched these as a kid and they still make me laugh!
The first guest seemed so serious and stiff when he came on, but as the game went on it appeared he had a fun sense of humor.
Arlene: "John's been peeking" :D
This is a couple of years before Eva was in Gigi with Louis Jourdan, which won the Oscar for best picture.
Nancy L Taylor aka Daisy Mae died at age 85 on June 23, 2015. "Mrs. Lewis was very devoted to her family and was seen as a true caregiver. She was a member of Shiloh United Methodist Church for over 40 years and loved her church and church family," reads part of her obituary. She was buried on June 29, 2015.
Eva was the most beautiful and kindest of the three Gabor sisters.
Who's the 3rd Gabor Sister? has she ever been on anything?
@@kristabrewer9363 Magda Gabor, the richest of the three
The rich-voiced actor George Sanders was married, at various times, to both Zsa Zsa and Magda Gabor.
@@jasonhurd4379 he also committed suicide

@@FlockOfHawksWell, I’m a young dude, except that my hips seem to behave otherwise.
Eva was gorgeous
Now, nearly 70 years old and still entertaining and funny.
I certainly am …
The crowds reaction to the finding out the second guest is a wrestler as well is pretty funny. Oh and hello Miss Bianca.
Bennett makes a reference to John not having run a mile under 4 minutes. The day before this program aired, at the British Commonwealth Games in Vancouver, Roger Bannister and John Landy of Australia were pitted against each other for the first time. At the time, they were the only two who had run the mile in under 4 minutes and Landy was the current world record holder. Although he didn't set a new world record in the process, Bannister ran his faster time ever in beating Landy in a race that was called "The Miracle Mile".
When Roger Bannister was the first to accomplish a sub-4 minute mile in May 1954, he didn't do so in a major sports stadium. Rather it was at modest Iffley Road Stadium, the home facility for Oxford University in athletics (track and field) and association football (soccer). While Bannister was no longer a student at Oxford when he ran the historic race, he had been one in 1949 when he was elected President of the Oxford University Athletic Club and led the effort to replace the bumpy, uneven track with a state of he art (for its day) facility. It's highly doubtful that Bannister would have considered competing on that track in his quest for the record if it had not been upgraded.
Because of my past association with Cornell University track and field, I was fortunate to actually walk on the very same track on which Bannister set the record at Oxford. I was there in 1974, two years before they upgraded the track to a synthetic surface. When I was there, it was still a dirt/cinder track: state of the art in 1954.
The running track portion of the stadium has since been renamed for Bannister. Sir Roger Bannister, MD recently celebrated his 88th birthday in March 2017, but is suffering from Parkinson's Disease.
I myself have done the 4 minute mile in a Honda.
I love when he flips a couple cards
What a quality show. Very well done.
I never laughed so much, Eva is such a likeable person 💖💯
The most lovely of the Gabors. She was totally delightful on Green Acres. That show was canceled at the height of its popularity as CBS was looking for shows which attracted a younger deomgraphic. I was, along with untold other fans of the show, bitterly disappointed.
CBS killed off a bunch of rural (white) shows that were very popular at that time. where was this white privelege? And then the white hating tribe that runs hollyweird pushed allinthefamily on the public. A show that clearly shows more anti white hate.
Eva should of won Emmy's every year on Green Acres.
Still watch on MeTV
The height of its popularity? Hardly. The show dropped out of the Top 30 in its last season. It was going to be cancellled anyway.
Having the two drastically different-looking professional wrestlers back-to-back was an absolutely brilliant decision! I wonder, is this the only time the producers have tried to pull off such a stunt to throw off the panel?
I wish the guest star wouldn't rush off without a 15 second interview.
I missed that too
I totally agree
Agree
always my favorite Gabor
re. Arlene's unusual goodnight to Mrs Allen in the end, Steve Allen had gotten married only 8 days prior to this episode.
I love the charisma of people back then
This many decades after Green Acres I still crush on her ! But not her cooking !❤❤
Arlene is so sharp. When everybody else is off on a tangent she’s often the one that rolls it back in. Nobody ever said that his sport was done in the snow
She was perfect for this game, indeed!
After seeing Ms. Taylor, I realizes the fact that how big a role teeth have to play to make somebody looking beautiful. She was stunning with her mouth closed, but not quite so when she was speaking! May be the reason she was nervous (as Daly mentioned) when she came in!
Eva.... such a cutie!!
12:52 "There would be very little satisfaction in doing it alone." I love the audience's reaction to the unintentional innuendo behind that statement, haha!
This has helped so much during the pandemic. It is 1/31/2021 and still goes on 😟
I agree! It's great seeing a glimpse into such a sophisticated, glamorous set and quite often one was surprised at how the guests didn't fit the occupations!
Loved Eva she was big friends with Merv Griffin and collected parasols. Doesn't that sound like something she would collect? She would look good with one.
Mr. Daly was on the first show of green acres with her
Arlene got two prior guests from the wild guess, a trapeze artist and a football player, and she pretty much got this one.
She was great at this game!
I was wondering about that. Thanks for the info. She did indeed just about get this one on the wild guess. I hadn't run across her other two (yet). Thanks!
you're confusing episodes both mystery were wrestlers
Eva was absolutely beautiful! Never saw her prior to GA. Wow!
Smart, beautiful, humble and sweet-- Cerf's got it all.
Hahaha nice one! Cerf is indeed lovely.
He was always such a gentleman
Except when it came to Dorothy. He made it clear after she was dead that he (and the host, Daly) had a great deal of contempt for her and went out of his way to say what great friends he and the other panelists and Daly were.
Eva was gorgeous to the last day!
I hope she is remembered for more than just that ?
She was absolutely stunning!😍
I'm glad they eventually eliminated the practice of having the contestants walk down in front of the panel and have them try one free guess each. That seemed such a waste of valuable time given that it was only a half-hour show. I realize there were a few occasions when the occupation was correctly guessed, but overall it seemed pointless.
Seemed kind of awkward for the guests, too. I wouldn't want to do that.
Both the walk and blind guesses seemed such waste of valuable time.
@@marybethmcmahon5937 Yes, probably why they eventually eliminated it. And on those VERY rare occasions when a "free guess" was correct, it was a ler-down. Like, "Oh great, thanks for ruining the game."
Mrs. Gabor was such and adorable lady. What a sad end she had.
What was her sad end?
@@accomplice55 I think Yoran may be referring to Zsa Zsa. On the other hand, how many people have happy ends? "Hey, Hey! I'm dying. Isn't this fun?" There's someone who regularly posts "The sad ending of ...." on UA-cam. I'm waiting for that person to post his/her first "The happy death of..." Beyond that, some of the people whose "end" is profiled by this person are still very much alive. In any case, I find the "sad end" phrase odd. Eva died from complications following a fall, and lots of people do. She and Eddie Albert worked well together and made us laugh on _Green Acres_ Before this show she had starred in the original _The Happy Time_ (not the musical version with Robert Goulet), which actually ran more than twice as long as the musical. Later on she replaced stars in a couple of musicals, so she did end up singing.
I love elegance and refinement of people back then. There was something about the way you presented yourself that is severely lacking today.
Eva was beautiful. You should see " The Last Time I Saw Paris " staring Elizabeth Taylor and Eva Gabor.
Pretty pretty Eva; a softer, more innocent version of her sister
The Gabor sisters were all lovely, mom too.
Thats true I tottaly agree !!!
All three looked like their Mom, great genes!!
@@madambutterfly7513 especially Zsa Zsa
When I worked at Hoag hosp in the 80’s,,, I went out the back entrance after my shift,,, which I rarely ever had done......
Back then,,, it wasn’t used much, very quiet lobby and seating area.
As I walked out I glanced left at the area to see an absolutely beautiful blond woman in a long plaid skirt. I walked out door and it occurred to me the nurses knew there was a Gabor on 10 th floor. So it hit me.
I’m not totally sure which sister I saw that day,,,but might have been Eva. I walked back in and had to see her again.
Then I left for the day.
It was a thrill and she was stunning even from a little distance.
At 8:35, Steve guessed pretzel bender for the second wrestler. Then at 21:42, Arlene guessed that Miss Leon made pretzels. John declared an _interesting answer_ . Five previous _interesting answers_ that were not _absolutely accurate_ occurred as follows:
1. On 16 Feb 1950, Arlene guessed _athlete_ instead of _wrestler_ .
2. On 2 Mar 1950, Richard Hoffman guessed _detective instead of _house detective_ .
3. On 15 Oct 1950, Arlene guessed _department store buyer_ instead of _cosmetics buyer_ .
4. On 6 Sep 1953, Steve guessed _racetrack employee_ instead of _racetrack parimutuel clerk_
5. On 11 Apr 1954, Steve guessed _softball player_ instead of _baseball player_ .
I think the woman who was last on this video must have appeared earlier in the show and either the video was edited out of sequence or they taped her and used her as filler when they had extra time for the broadcast (after the celebrity guest). There's no way anyone would guess "pretzel bender" for the female wrestler and then the last guest turned out to be exactly that.
@@ejej6934 This show was televised live. Pretzel benders was sort of an ongoing gag.
I started learning Hungarian because I loved Eva so much. 😃
@Mark Richardson How's it going, eh?
Truth Bomb I started collecting Hungarian stamps because of the Gabor sisters!
Get a Vizsla. 🐕
I started Learning Hungarian because my wife was Hungarian. 👍
Great show!
Wonderful series! People were so polite in those days!
While we never got the chance to meet so many interesting people as the panel did, at least we saw the often funny reactions of the mystery guests. None of these panelists probably ever did, so they missed quite an important part of the show.
A good observation.
Re : AIWboojum 7 months ago
To be fair, they all did that to some extent. More to the point, one of the reasons I've been watching these videos is because everyone is so wonderfully classy--imagine a Price Is Right contestant wearing an evening gown--and it's really not classy to criticize and insult a woman who has been dead for fifty years for something that in the end isn't really a big deal. Dorothy Kilgallen was witty and sharp on this program, I think she brought something very valuable to the panel and the show suffered when she passed.
I get aggravated also when everyone picks on Dorothy for maybe being drunk or her medicine is affecting her. You can tell the others may have also and don't get the flack she does.

Eva was great in Green Acres. Zsa Zsa was actually offered the part of glamour gal Lisa Douglas, but turned it down, recommending her younger sister.
Dalton Belflower 9 months ago
I don't know if Eva was the "most talented" Gabor, but she was very talented. But, I guess, since Zsa Zsa was known more for her quirks and private life, Eva did make a bigger name for herself as an actress. Eva goes down in TV history for starring on one of the most recognizable and longest off-network running sitcoms ever: Green Acres. However, Zsa Zsa defines the word "celebrity", while Eva was "the actress" I suppose. What about Magda, the older sister? There is so little information on her out there. Does anyone on here have some reliable and good info on her please. Comment if you do please. It'd be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

For some reason this isn't letting me reply directly to LisaDawnn's comment so I hope she sees this. Mystery guests were paid $500 per appearance and guest panelists were paid $750. When Bennett Cerf first started he said he was paid $300 per week, but by the end of the show he said they were being paid "scandalous amounts" (no idea how much that was).
BlueShoeLover 1 year ago
My very first full-time job, in 2001, paid me $300 per week! Do you have some sort of comparison rates for 1950s money v 2000s money?
Jeff Vaughn 1 year ago
+BlueShoeLover
I don't know if this is accurate or not, but I found on line that $1 in 1950 = $8.33 today so that said, $300 in 1950 would be worth around $2500 today and conversely the $300 week you made in the 2000's would be the same as $36 in 1950.

I wrestled in Junior High. I weighed 125 pounds and was not strong in the bulky sense of the word. But I was very wiry and quick and knew how to use my weight, how to lure my opponent into thinking he "had" only to wriggle out and pin him. I beat a lot of the stronger kids. It was impossible to pin me. That's how strength is not necessarily needed to win in wrestling.

RE: the last contestant. Over the years, this is only the first of a couple of instances where a panelist identified a person associated with pretzels right off the bat. Ten years later the president of Quinlin Pretzels of Pennsylvania went before the panel under her own name and got picked off by Robert Q Lewis -- who apparently knew a thing or two about Pretzels.
IMO, Green Acres might have been the best sixties sitcom. Absurdity running amok.
I think the is my favorite episode.
Anybody else ever find themselves wondering if the panel didn't sometimes get clues prior to a guest coming out.......seriously, that Dorothy Kilgallen was one spooky chick, the way she would suddenly zero in on the guest's occupation with just a few simple questions.
I know she was incredibly smart, and had that innate reporter's 'nose' (which in the end, may have actually gotten her killed) for getting to the bottom of things......but she was simply AMAZING on this show !!!
she died from an incautious intake of alcohol & prescription drugs -
mcadams.posc.mu.edu/death4.htm
Well-l-l-l-l-l, that's ONE theory.........
I'm sure they were tipped off. Don't forget, this is from the same era as the rigged quiz shows.
Tommy Truth I kinda of doubt it because they get it wrong sometimes.
Anne Roy You want to study her surroundings at her death better.
So they passed up chatting with Eva to talk pretzels? That’s not very nice, daaahrling.
Everyone talking about Eva and Wrestlers , but no one even mentions that cute Remington - it's exactly like the one my Daddy gave me , back when my facial hair emerged - and he added a few lines about birds and bees as well - so sweet
12:51 "There would be very little satisfaction in doing it alone."
John rubs his hands together at 09:05 like ooooo boyyy, we've got em now! 😄 So adorable, what a charmer he was. 😇
Though they may not be as entertaining as Groucho Marx was a guest panelist there's no doubt in my mind the two best guest players were Steve Allen and Tony Randall.
@Sandy Dog - Steve Allen was a permanent replacement for Hal Block and Steve's permanent replacement was Fred Allen. After Fred's passing, they used exclusively guest panelists in that 4th spot. They had been considering Ernie Kovacs who got a show in L.A., so didn't take the permanent spot. After Dorothy's death they used only guests for her seat, too. Would you consider putting Martin Gabel up with Tony Randall as a witty and intelligent frequent guest panelist?
@@philippapay4352 Yes, on Gabel!
Arlene has the best laugh!
it's kind of sad how the handwriting nowadays has changed. if i wrote eva gabors name on that board they probably wouldn't understand it and think it's not artistic
tinwoods it is in Texas. I taught for 30 years (retired 3 years ago) and it was taught by 2nd-4th Grade’s
They brought it back fortunately. I think most milennials know it it’s just dormant. I write heavily in it so some say my handwriting looks like thread. 🧵 🪡
@@DragonHeir92 youre meaning millennials know how to handwrite like that in 14:36? Doubt it, I'm in my 30s and handwrite better than people in my year and older but you're saying younger kids who never wrote nearly as much as we did growing up where it was compulsory to handwrite does, I can write neatly but will not look ancient like this. My dad had beautiful handwriting that people took pictures of it just coz it looks ancient.
I was fortunate enough to meet Miss Gabor as well as Mr. Eddie Albert on the set of Green Acres back in the 70's. Both she and Mr. Albert were kind and charming. Because of the warmth they showed me, it is a treasured memory.On the other hand I also got to be on the set of Beverly Hillbillies total different atmosphere.

Dorothy the Dagger!
the GABORS....just LOVELY....
I loved their last name, (Gabor) it just suited their looks and accents, it also had a glamorous ring to it.
I had to look up Eva Gabor's height because she looked so petite when she shook hands with Bennett Cerf and Steve Allen, both of whom were tall. She was 5 ft. 2-1/2 in. tall (158.75 cm), 12-1/2 inches (31.75 cm) shorter than Steve Allen and 10-1/2 inches (26.67 cm) shorter than Bennett Cerf. So a rather petite woman, I'd say. Based on the way she answered the questions, I think she was pretty smart, too, and obviously had a good command of English. I think she knew how to use her Hungarian accent to convey a certain personality on which she capitalized. By all accounts, Eva Gabor was a very nice woman who was very well-liked by the people she worked with as an actress. I think she had a good sense of humor -- I think that was required when she played "Lisa Douglas" on "Green Acres" for six seasons.
She was adorably delightful on Green Acres as well as being gorgeous - especially for someone in her mid-40's to early 50's during the run of the show. She displayed outstanding comedic timing on that show, a surrealistic spin off of Petticoat Junction (or perhaps the PJ writers on heavy drugs). But all terribly frustrating to her usually logical husband, Oliver. I say usually logical because what attorney would buy the Haney place unseen except one whose eyes were clouded by an overly romanticized and idealized view of the American farmer. Lisa would say the most outrageous and nonsensical things and then one of the local people would repeat them as if everybody knew about that (except for Kate who was always very sensible). And Eva and Eddie Albert had remarkable chemistry together.
My two favorite parts of Green Acres were Oliver trying to explain the electrical system to Eva (which required nothing more difficult then adding and making sure the total didn't exceed 7) so they didn't blow a "foose", and the time the selvage (for want of a better term) from Lisa's pancakes (stamped out with a "pot's cover") replaced the broken head gasket on Oliver's truck.
And regarding her accent, Lisa would sometimes remark that she had trouble with her "woulbe-U's" and her "wees".

Being a Californian who has lived in both the southern and northern part of the state, did you ever notice that in central California there is both a Pixley and a Porterville in fairly close proximity to each other. (The Cannonball would have had a run of about 12 miles.) Of course Porterville's name had to be altered slightly to fit in with the presence of the Bradley sisters: Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo and Betty Jo, not to mention Bea Benaderet's ample charms.
Lois Simmons I think Eva is very underrated. Her timing in comedy is amazing. She's a hoot in interviews. Highly successful business person as well
ToddSF 94109 I can still hear her voice saying "This has been a Filmways presentation dahling." at the end of every Green Acres episode.
@@loissimmons6558 I am of Hungarian ancestry, although born in Canada. There is no "w" in Hungarian, so "double U" is invariably pronounced "v", just in case you "vant" to know, dahling. Incidentally, the first contestant also has a Hungarian name, "Zold" means "Green" in Hungarian.
@@robertfiller8634 Always a pleasure to meet a fellow Magyar!
I knew that there is no "w" in Hungarian. I was quoting Eva from the show explaining one of her difficulties with English. (If I remember my German class from over 50 years ago, Germans call "w" "double-vay" when reciting the alphabet; double-v is a more accurate description of the shape of the letter than double-u.)
I did not know that "zold" means "green" in Hungarian. Thank you for sharing that. I don't recall my mom teaching us the names of colors in Hungarian. Ironically, we had a neighbor of Italian descent whose last name was Verde. My dad (German descent) with his dry sense of humor would call him "Joe Green". (It predated the football player for the Steelers.) Alas, my mom didn't have the same dry sense of humor. If she did, I would have learned "zold".
Always known as ‘The Good Gabor.’
We will call this the night of correctly guessing the occupation quickly and the 35 dollar prize.
Daly had fun with Eva.
Watching these episodes again, I feel that Arlene was actually the most clever of the bunch and the quickest witted for sure! Her mind was always quick with a joke but she could get away with it as a woman, but her talent was partly hidden by Steve Allen and the other 'funny' stars.
Her talent wasnt hidden. Cant you compliment her without trying to drag down others?
Absolutely love her, but this is an all-star panel!

Dang! What a knock out!
Amazing that Arlene more or less guessed Betty Lehn's job before the first question was asked!
Pretzels are or were associated with Pennsylvania. It's like Steve Allen guessing that the Canadian was a hockey player.
Eva is lovely in all ways!!!!
Good lord she is breathtaking!!
The fact that I can still remember the rescuers she was the voice of miss Bianca truly a gem of a movie
Too bad Eva Gabor rushed off so soon and then John has a nice talk with the pretzel bender. What a beautiful woman she is. My favorite Gabor.
It is strange that she rushed off without talking. Someone who appeared on stage, screen, TV, radio, and walkie-talkie must have had something to talk about.
