As of April 29, 2017 (the date I made this comment), Olivia de Havilland is still alive and is 100 years young! Now some people may not care about that, but I do; otherwise, I wouldn't have made this comment. I don't want her to "go" yet.
Interesting that the word "movies" was considered slang back then 😊! Mr Fairbanks definitely came from an earlier era. He was lovely though. I had never seen him in these shows before.
56 years later and Olivia is still alive. Loved her in Gone with the Wind (1939) The Heiress (1949) and Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte (1964.) She turns 101 this year.
Here we are in 2021 & Ms. Olivia died at the grand age of exactly 104. Born in July 1916 & died July 2020. Bravo her. Her sister passed at 96. Her father too.
Her sister was Joan Fontaine. That generation was tough. My Mother, born in 1917, passed in 2018 at age 101. They endured the Great Depression and World War II. My mother lost her 1st husband at Normandy. May they All REST IN PEACE. 🙏🏼🕊❤️
What a gentlemen Doug was.! He was the gold standard. He talks about he and Olivia de Haviland doing a radio play many years before and describes her as 'a little girl'. She was NOT a 'little girl' at the time.
The most confusing maneuver is to switch clues on a word during the lightning round. Olivia started off with stagecoach idea for 'stage' then switched to theatre. It almost never works.when time is that short.
According to newspaper archives, Deloss C. Hyde died in a car accident in 1964. Passed away at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Very tragic. Seemed like such a fine young man. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
I get the impression that the Sunday night version of Password got the big stars. it was a pretty big show since Sunday night was the biggest TV watching night- Right up there with the Ed Sullivan show. The weekly day time version didn’t get the same stars.
Olivia: "Do you mean we make money on this show?" Allen: "No, they do (meaning the contestants). You work for free." Considering she sued Warner Bros. not all that long beforehand (1940s, I believe), I wonder if anything went through her mind just then.
The only annoying thing about this show is they have people in top jobs who are usually intelligent as contestants . I bet it would be a lot more entertaining if they had more ordinary people who wouldn't get the clues so quickly .
For "Ace" I might have said "card" and then stretched out the word Kiiiing" (Maybe while looking up to the ceiling for a moment or nudging my head upward slightly - technically are not supposed to gesture, but they usually let you get away with small things). Or after "Card" maybe "top" (or "highest").

Was just thinking, when Ludden mentioned the encyclopedia dude how the Internet and maybe more specifically, Wikipedia turned the World Book Encyclopedia into a buggy whip! Amazing how the world has changed on a dime.
She truly had NO clues and no answers. Painful to watch her sit there and do nothing. She answered: "Tired", A.L. said: "Roughly a form of the word, give me the exact word!" So, the daft woman says again: "Tired". argh! This was a horrible episode. She very much had the "Deer-in-the-headlights-stare". The horrible clues from the Celebrities did not help at all. Olivia d H. was slower than molasses in January. {I think her sister (J. Fontaine) had more "upstairs".} She and Fairbanks must have never owned a dog or a horse. I knew what a "Pedigree" was when I was in Elementary school. We had a Beagle (with a Pedigree) and next year we got a Horse with "No Papers", a "Horse-Horse". She and Fairbanks seemed to only know the scripts they recited in movies.

Mary Ann M - Hello. The daily game came on in the afternoons, as an alternative to the horrid "Soap Operas". iirc, it came on about 2pm (Mountain Time) about 1961, 1962. {So, 4pm Eastern Time because it was filmed in N.Y.C..} People that worked a Day shift job could not watch it, so the Network decided to have a game on Sunday Evening, called the "Weekly". Different procedures somewhat than the daily. Over the years the rules / regs changed on some things. A really good improvement was the idea of changing partners at the end of a game and getting a second chance. {Fact is, some Celebs were NOT very bright and the contestants suffered from that. Switching partners evened "the playing field".
The female contestant is one of the worst players I’ve seen. She wasn’t good at giving clues or guessing, but she always looked at her partner like it was their fault, lol. When you don’t do well regardless of who you’re with, you gotta look at the common denominator. That doesn’t just fit with games, either.
She was truly in the wrrooooong studio building. With that "Deer-in-the-headlights-stare" she must have been an out-of-town tourist who was looking for the Statue of Liberty tour or the "Radio City Music Hall" show. Daft and dizzy. She answered: "Tired". A.L. tells her: "You have given a form of the Password, now give me the actual word!" She stares around looking for a cue card it seemed and replied again: "Tired". ARGH! 😞🤯 I hope she never had children.
This is great! My maternal great-grandmother was governess, to Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
Cool!
Douglas was so handsome. Such a gentlemen.

@RUFUS T. FIREFLY He was 6 years older.
He really is a lovely gentleman. When his partner says what she does (art direction), he actually shows interest and asks her about it.
Thank you for uploading!
Miss de Havilland will be 104 years of age on July the first, 2020. God bless her!
Thanks for the upload

Olivia was born in Japan and died in France at 104 in 2020. A legend.
And raised in California.
Saw Mr Fairbanks strolling in Manhattan in the 80s, talk about debonair
4:05 Olivia: "We're gonna make money?" Ludden: "THEY'RE going to make money. YOU work free."
So sad to learn that D C Hyde died two years after this was filmed. I am guessing it may have been due to his Naval deployment.

Wow!! Watching in 2024 !! Allen Ludden has met everyone.....so too Betty White!!!
I’m really amazed how nice it is to watch a game show without laser lights and gold confetti…
Who would have thought Haviland would have lived until 2020.
5 seconds on this show REALLY goes a LONG way!
I feel like this is the equivalent of having Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock play on a game show today. These are HUGE stars.
But would they do it?? The stars of that era were a lot more classy, dressed nicely and, for the most part, acted civily.

I couldn't take my eyes off Olivia's pearls ~ those are the real McCoy ~ and the size ~ at least 10 mm.
@@sheristewart3940 You've got bionic eyes if you can inspect them from so far away.
Believe me there is no comparison between those celebrities mentioned....Miss DeHaviland and Mr. Fairbanks were the ultimate stars!!!
Olivia: "Do you mean we make money on this show?"
Allen: "No, they do (meaning the contestants). You work for free."
Considering she sued Warner Bros. not all that long beforehand (1940s, I believe), I wonder if anything went through her mind just then.
Boulderdash. They were getting 250-500 a show depending on status
How about EDEN for garden
@Christopher Bingham I have seen Natalie Schafer's contract from 1965 and she was paid $750.
Olivia keeps giving two word answers!
Tired...tireder...how complicated was tire???
I'm guessing the Edie Adams and Dennis Weaver episode is unavailable? Tried searching for it on UA-cam and couldn't find it anywhere.
Fairbanks DeHaviland Lordy.

Requiescat in Pace, chere madame.
Wow. Dense.
I wouldn't be any good at this game. There've been 3 or 4 words on this episode that I've never heard before
Don't just sit there. Expand your horizons !

I felt sorry for Rita. I don't think she played the game so badly, but some things just turn out that way.
Yes, I feel sorry for her too. The male contestant is excellent.

Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch - I doubt very many kids have read that book today.
Riddles don't rhyme
Rita might be the worst player I have seen on Password.
Unlucky, I'd say.
Rita is THICK!
And she works with books....who knew someone so thick worked with books. I'm amazed.
She's a lovely lady. Shows how important scripts are.

Just opinions, but she has a malicious side that Joan doesn't. And she's sexier.
