I am playing in my craftroom (making folios and cards) and watching What's My Line repeatedly. Over the last 14 days, I have probably watched 50 of them. It is a program my late mother enjoyed so much. I am certain she looked forward to this broadcast every Sunday evening after her children were tucked in bed, and she could put her feet up. I am watching these for you, Mom.
Bennett Cerf inspired me to be a publisher. It was good to see the women treated so intelligently, unlike I’ve Got a Secret with Betsy Palmer and Miss America Bess Myerson. Arlene should have been a private detective! How did she deduce so much with so little?
I love the absolute elegance and decorum of that era. There was a certain dignity and respect that is lacking in these days of Instagram, Face Book, Twitter and Tik Tok. Just my thoughts. I think I was born in the wrong decade.
Many commenters put their hat in the ring to declare the most beautiful contestant to ever appear on What's My Line. Well obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder, however Ursula Andress is right up there for me with Eva Marie Saint, as well as panelist Sue Oakland.
Watch the episode with Anita Ekberg. She looks absolutely stunning, and she rec'd the loudest ovation of any mystery guest. The audience erupted when she walked in to sign her name.
Watch the 1953 Lauren Bacall episode and the Hedy Lamarr episode. Raquel Welch has to be mentioned as well. Many from which to choose, that’s for sure. Edit: I forgot Linda Darnell (and several others, I know).
Love how Bennett managed to sneak the word "callipygian" into his intro of John Daly at 1:52. Such are the benefits of being a literary editor. Believe John was on the panel of the Miss America contest, thus well acquainted with "callipygian damsels."
Arlene Francis had a lightning intelligence. (13:18) Gypsy Rose Lee: It's very difficult making a fortune cookie, you know. You have to bend them while they're hot. Arlene Francis: (Instantly) That's true of all of us.
Regarding the closing remarks to Vidal Sassoon. - At dinner with an old friend, Billy Connolly asked how he was doing. "Well, I have everything I asked for. Except, I forgot to ask for money"
John Daly expressed his love of California at the opening of the episode. In another episode he revealed that he and his wife had a home in St.Helena in the Napa Valley. 😄
"She's a personal friend of James Bond!" That line from What's New Pussycat was adlibbed by Peter Sellers hence why Ursula Andress stifles a giggle in that scene.
Orson Welles in "The Third Man: "In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace - and what did that produce? The cuckoo Clock." I would add Ursula Andress to that!!! :)
Vidal Sassoon returned on the new WML in 1969, this time as a full-fledged Mystery Guest in Game 3 (meaning he signed in as normal, and the panel was blindfolded).
I think this was one of those times they gave one of the panel a prompt to shorten the time spent on the second contestant, because they dallied to long with Vidal Sassoon. I can't remember another time they spent so long with a guest after their occupation had been guessed.
Gypsy: "Fortune cookies are hard to make, you have to bend them while they are hot." Arlene: "Isn't that true of all of us?" That is a line you would expect from Gypsy!
I wonder if the fortune cookie guy wrote the best fortune I ever got...or most unique..."In the coming weeks, you will find 5 missing socks!" It was kind of funny in that, at that time, I was helping my uncle Fil with a lot of his work, and one of the things I did was to take all his dozens of socks home with me to wash before my next visit the following Saturday!
Yes, Vidal Sassoon mentioned Mia Farrow's very short haircut at the time and he would go on to do her hair a year later when she was filming "Rosemary's Baby," thus really popularizing that style. But it's good that he mentioned that Jean Seberg was wearing her hair in a similar style a few years earlier. Seberg was an American actress who did mainly European films like "Breathless" in the late 1950s through 70s.
Ms. Honor Blackman had the best Bond Girl name, but Ms. Andress as Honey Ryder emerging from the surf and 'singing' Underneath The Mango Tree is an image for the ages.
Vidal Sassoon is just about the only contestant who did not stay on his mark in the introduction. Notice that while John is not telling them about him, he is behind him.
@@daschundloverable Sorry, I think you misheard. It sounded to me as if he spoke about Jean Seberg, American actress who worked in many French movies, and who died in Paris in 1979. She wore her hair cropped short in the title role of "Saint Joan" directed by Otto Preminger in 1957.
Ursula played Honey Rider in "Dr. No". She had the body of Ursula Andress, the singing voice of Diana Coupland, and the SPEAKING voice of Nikki Van Der Zyl. Ursula actually complimented Van Der Zyl recently (who also dubbed Ursula in a few other films, such as "The Blue Max"), saying that she did a great job. Van Der Zyl worked as a voice artist for the series from 1962's "Dr. No" to 1979's "Moonraker".
The best female name in the history of film was in "Goldfinger" with Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore. Somehow I got to see it when it came out, and besides being a great film (my favorite Bond movie) Honor Blackman's whole self has stayed with me all of these years. Oh that paint scene!
Joe Postove Definitely agree with you. I also want to say that Honor Blackman is easily the best-aged of the Bond girls. Look at before and after pictures of her, and you will be amazed. The worst-aged is Britt Ekland, sad to say. WAY too many fillers to her lips!

Well this was an educational one for me! I’m British and my whole life I’ve thought Vidal Sassoon was French 🧄 . Also I’ve always thought Gypsy Rose Lee was some fictional mystical character 🔮 and that Ursula Andress was Australian 🦘!! 🤣🤣🤣
I had also thought that Vidal Sassoon was French, and that Ursula Andress was Swedish. I had heard of a Gypsy Rose Lee but I had no concept of her at all.
Despite the odd behavior of Gypsy Rose Lee (seriously, what the hell was up with her attitude towards Bennett? This was why she never came back again after this!), this was a great episode. The presence of Ursula Andress more than made up for it, and it was a perfecto.
Funny story, she was married to John Derek when filming Dr. No ! Derek was paranoid jealous and was on set entire movie! After filming was over Derek was relieved that Connery was gone from set ! A few months later Andress got a new script from her agent ! Derek asked what’s the film , she said it takes place in Mexico , Derek asked , “ who’s the leading man” in his paranoid ? “ She replied , “ Elvis Presley “ ! Lol, it was Fun In Acapulco !
Here's Bennett with his unique pronunciation of "heel-o-cop-ter". In more than 70 years I have never heard anyone else use that pronunciation except the first time he said it years before and John followed suit one time, for courtesy I am sure. Not this time
You have to go back more than 70 years, but try this 1940s newsreel: ua-cam.com/video/EFm8_7Ek-4k/v-deo.html The word comes from Greek roots meaning "spiral wing": Helico- as in "helical" and "helix", which we still say with a long e sound, and "pter" meaning wing, as in pterodactyl. I have dictionaries from the 1960s and 1970s which still show the long e pronunciation as an alternate, but on grounds of etymology and evidence of older speakers like Bennett, I'm convinced that that was the original pronunciation, which by mid-century had been altered in popular usage to the way we say it today.
I have to think that Vidal Sassoon is famous enough to warrant a mention in the title of this video. He is THE hair stylist. His hair care products are sold all over the world.
We're limited in how long the video titles can be. There wasn't enough room to add his name. I will add him to the description, though-- that was an oversight, thank you.
wow, some really great characters on this show, vidal was the quintessential charming englishman, ursula andress was a bonafide sex goddess, henry morgan and gypsy rose lee were forces in their own right. gypsie grew up in vaudeville and had very little in the way of a formal education, but was well known for a very wide and skilled vocabulary. and gypsy may have helped cover up a couple of killings by her mother.
As GRL was saying about making fortune cookies is that you have to bend them when they're hot ............ Arlene Francis pipes up..."That' true of all of us"! In 1967 I am SHOCKED that it got by the censors! Ya gotta love live TV! But then again I have heard Arlene make many somewhat "suggestive" comments in other WHL shows! 🦂👍🥂
IIRC, in the mid-late '80's there was a one-hit-wonder band called "Oxo", whose one hit was "Whirly Girl" - having nothing to do with female helicopter pilots.
Maybe because I grew up in the 70's, I recognized Vidal Sassoon immediately. But he was already making a lot of news so surprised that Arlene, who had quite a fashion sense and was on the board of Bonwit Teller, didn't know who he was right away. (Although she was the one who got it!)
As virtually everyone knows, there were two James Bond pictures in 1967. "Casino Royale" (which was an unofficial film, and was more of a spoof), and "You Only Live Twice" (which was part of the official EON/United Artists franchise).
The song ung in the film Dr No when Ursula is coming out of the water was sung by Diana Coupland from Armley Leeds who was Did James wife in Bless this House.
After congratulating Vidal Sassoon on his recent marriage, John Charles Daly wishes him "many issue" (at 10:58). Nobody would say that today, because "issue" has a very different meaning now.
Ha ha you gotta laugh at the blokey roar that went up after Bennett's question about chassis. So gloriously un-PC now but it's great. He tellin' da truth. :)
Notice with what interest the two female panellists stare at Ursula Andress as she leaves the show. Women admire beautiful women with the same intensity as men.
When the women on the panel, look at the other celebrity women the way they look at Ursula until they leave, its because the celebrity is really gorgeous in person...and she was GORGEOUS!!
CORRECTED -- Gil Fates wrote about the second game in is book, and it illustrates that his memory of details was sometimes inaccurate. Of course he did not have the luxury of this channel to use for double checking. He gets Gypsy Rose Lee’s classic observation correct, and he get’s Arlene’s come back right. However, he identified Gypsy as solving the game when Arlene in fact solves the game.
soulierinvestments I think you simply mistyped when you wrote "Dorothy's come back," above. Which classic observation and comeback did you mean? The camera is not on the panelist who shouts out, "It's Sassoon!" and I also thought it was Gypsy. Upon rewatching that incident a couple of times, though (beginning with Henry's question at around 8:10, I now think you are correct that it was Arlene who guessed it.
SaveThe TPC I'm sure it was just a (Freudian?) slip by soulierinvestments. We all miss Dorothy in these final shows. The remark that Gil Fates mentioned was Gypsy's comment at 13:20 on how hard it is to make fortune cookies: "You have to bend them when they're hot." and Arlene's rejoinder "That's true of all of us."
Ursula Andress was the first "Bond Girl" in 1962's "Dr. No" and she was also in the first "Casino Royal" in 1967 which was a Bond Spoof. I don't know what she did in the second film. The first one can last a guy forever! I never saw it until the 70's. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/82/Ursula_Andress_in_Dr._No.jpg
@kenyongray2615. Ursala Andress is my fourth favorite Bond woman. Honor Blackman will always be my absolute favorite Bond woman, with Maud Adams second and Claudine Auger third.
This is the actual voice of Ursuala Andress, and I love it. Nice and exotic. Listen to the way she pronounces "Casino Royale". But it was deemed too thick to understand, so she would often be dubbed in her films. None of the moviegoing public who saw "Dr. No" during its original run in theaters knew that she was dubbed. This information was revealed years and years later. The only films I can think of in which her original voice is intact are "Fun in Acapulco", "The Fifth Musketeer", and "What's New Pussycat?" (in that film, at least to me, her voice sounded thicker than it did in "Dr. No").
Elke Sommer shoulda been a Bond girl. I wonder why she wasn't, it's so obvious! What was Bennett referring to about 17:20 when he asked Miss Andress if she had one of the most magnificent "shanties" in the female race?
Joe Postove Remember the "Matt Helm" series with Dean Martin? She was one of the girls in the 4th film "The Wrecking Crew". But yes, she should have been a Bond girl. I don't get why she was not.
Elke Sommer played Linka Karensky in "The Wrecking Crew." Sharon Tate played Freya Carlson, the klutzy "good girl," in the same movie. Nancy Kwan (Yu-Rang) and, post-"Gilligan," Tina Louise (Lola Medina), also have important roles in "The Wrecking Crew." Speaking of those Matt Helm movies, Beverly Adams (the 2nd Mrs. Sassoon, mentioned in the post-identification chat) played Lovey Krayvezit in the first three of those four films ("The Silencers," "Murderers' Row," and "The Ambushers"), as well as Cassandra in the final installment of American International Pictures' beach films, "How To Stuff A Wild Bikini," which starred Dwayne and Annette (as in Hickman and Funicello).
She was “She.” “She” was originally was a book written by H Rider Haggard, a great name for an action author. It’s a great title for a great concept. The first movie version starred Helen Gahaghan, who eventually became a U S Representative from California and ran against Richard Nixon for one of California’s U S Senate seats. I can’t recall if Andrus got elected to anything.
soulierinvestments i remember that film! I saw it in the theatre in summer of 1965. I was 7 years old. It scared me and I wondered why my father ever took me to see it.
I am playing in my craftroom (making folios and cards) and watching What's My Line repeatedly. Over the last 14 days, I have probably watched 50 of them. It is a program my late mother enjoyed so much. I am certain she looked forward to this broadcast every Sunday evening after her children were tucked in bed, and she could put her feet up.

After watching a few of these I'm starting to love Arlene Francis. What a killer smile and seemed smart too.
I think she would have been a really great f###.
That’s what I am looking for an intelligent woman like her. (It’s harder than you might think). 😄🇮🇸🇺🇸🇻🇮🇳🇿
I am starting to love Benett. Just notice his smile.
z What the hell are u talking about. Oink oink ????????????
Bennett Cerf inspired me to be a publisher. It was good to see the women treated so intelligently, unlike I’ve Got a Secret with Betsy Palmer and Miss America Bess Myerson. Arlene should have been a private detective! How did she deduce so much with so little?
It is always a treat to hear the actual voice of an actor or actress who was often dubbed in his or her films. And Ursula Andress is one of them.
Vidal Sassoon was already pretty well known in the New York scene by 1967, so I'm surprised no one on the panel recognized him.
The manners and ways of speaking in past decades. Classy.
Until the ghetto culture became mainstream.
Sean Connery is good friends with Ursula and has maintained that friendship to this very day and they still visit each other.
Thank you Vidall Sasoon for changing the way we cut and shape hair. ☺
I love the absolute elegance and decorum of that era.
There was a certain dignity and respect that is lacking in these days of Instagram, Face Book, Twitter and Tik Tok.
Just my thoughts. I think I was born in the wrong decade.

Oh my Ursula. Back in the day I was so crazy about her! Oh I'm feeling so old but so young!
she was'nt on this program. are you thinking of vidal sassoon?
@@dabneyoffermein595She is the mystery guest on this episode.
A real woman......beautiful.
"You have to bend them while they're hot."
"That's true of all of us."
Only Arlene.
Love how that passed the censors in 1967!!!
Bend what? Bananas?
That's about the naughtiest line that she got away with.
And asking Bennet often he had been thinking about Ursula Andress.
Love how Bennett managed to sneak the word "callipygian" into his intro of John Daly at 1:52. Such are the benefits of being a literary editor. Believe John was on the panel of the Miss America contest, thus well acquainted with "callipygian damsels."
John Derek sure hit the trifecta with Ursula Andress, Linda Evans and Bo Derek.
Then again, he broke up with at least two of them (or they with him), so it wasn't all roses.
@@richatlarge462 Andress broke up with him. While with Derek, she had an affairs with Ron Ely (TV's Tarzan) and the French actor Jean Paul Belmondo.
lol beards
He certainly liked high cheekbones ( among other qualities)
You have to also write Vidal Sassoon as the other mystery guest!
Love this show and thank you for this channel!
:)
Arlene Francis had a lightning intelligence. (13:18)
Gypsy Rose Lee: It's very difficult making a fortune cookie, you know. You have to bend them while they're hot.
Arlene Francis: (Instantly) That's true of all of us.
That was the sauciest remark I've ever heard come out of Arlene, and she was full of them!
This is another great episode of WML and Arlene was great this time.I also like Bennett and he was very good also.Ursula Andress is beautiful!
i hate her
Regarding the closing remarks to Vidal Sassoon. - At dinner with an old friend, Billy Connolly asked how he was doing. "Well, I have everything I asked for. Except, I forgot to ask for money"
Ursula Andress was stunning. Maybe the best Bond girl ever.
very pretty
Yeah, I don’t like her voice being dubbed though.
Nope, that was Pussy Galore.
She actually gave a big spoiler for Casino Royale.
Don’t forget Honor Blackman, aka Pussy Galore. 😂
I like that John Daly had the executive decision making ability to flip all the cards when the person’s line was discovered very early on in the game.
John Daly expressed his love of California at the opening of the episode. In another episode he revealed that he and his wife had a home in St.Helena in the Napa Valley. 😄
I remember Bennett Serf uttering that line LIVE about Ursula having "one of the most magnificent chasses" when he uttered it 52 2/3rds years ago.
As not being a native English speaker, what does “chasses” mean? And is it really spelled that way? Can’t find any translations..🤔
@@TheSportfane Chasses is the plural form of "chassis," from the French, meaning "frame," or in Ursula's case, her body.
@@TheSportfane Chassis, as in the chassis of a car.
I wonder if people cringed in 1967 about that. Probably yes.
I like Gypsy. She seems very down to earth. Ursula didn't alter her voice at all!
Excessively irritating, actually.

That line from What's New Pussycat was adlibbed by Peter Sellers hence why Ursula Andress stifles a giggle in that scene.

And Orson Welles got that wrong. The Cuckoo Clock is from the Black Forest in Germany.

I'll say she was!

I think this was one of those times they gave one of the panel a prompt to shorten the time spent on the second contestant, because they dallied to long with Vidal Sassoon. I can't remember another time they spent so long with a guest after their occupation had been guessed.
“I had a system in London where any pretty girl came into the salon, I had to be told”. That would get him into so much trouble these days!
Gypsy: "Fortune cookies are hard to make, you have to bend them while they are hot."

Also the film version of Shaw's "Saint Joan."
O
OH, I thought he said Jay Seberg, the stylist who was murdered at Sharon Tate's.
She was beautiful and it was sad she struggled with depression. It's a disease not to be trivialized.
Vidal Sassoon was from Hungarian and Greek Jewish background and grew up in extreme poverty.
He was quite handsome - and quite poised.
Never in the history of clothing was a bikini so happy when it was filled up by Usula Andress Possibly the most most famous Bond girl
Ursula undress.😍😍😍😍
Ms. Honor Blackman had the best Bond Girl name, but Ms. Andress as Honey Ryder emerging from the surf and 'singing' Underneath The Mango Tree is an image for the ages.
Most definitely my favorite
Delightful show! Arlene gets one with zero down.
Had there still been free guesses in 1967, she would have gotten the line right then.
Come to think of it "Hellair" is a perfect description of most airlines nowadays!
Daniel Yentzer And this comment was before the United incident!
The UA-cam closed caption algorithm translated Ursula Andress as "Human Sadness" LOL.
Vidal Sassoon is just about the only contestant who did not stay on his mark in the introduction. Notice that while John is not telling them about him, he is behind him.

To me, it shows how much easier it sometimes is to be a Mystery Guest on this show than to be a guest panelist.
Both Gypsy Rose Lee and Henry Morgan were a pain in the rear. Morgan's infamous insult of Bennett is only one example.
Beauty Ursula Andress.
Funny story, she was married to John Derek when filming Dr. No ! Derek was paranoid jealous and was on set entire movie! After filming was over Derek was relieved that Connery was gone from set ! A few months later Andress got a new script from her agent ! Derek asked what’s the film , she said it takes place in Mexico , Derek asked , “ who’s the leading man” in his paranoid ? “ She replied , “ Elvis Presley “ ! Lol, it was Fun In Acapulco !
So, no one knew Vidal Sassoon from sight at this time? I remember his commercials.

We're limited in how long the video titles can be. There wasn't enough room to add his name. I will add him to the description, though-- that was an oversight, thank you.
How the civility of those times are so greatly missed.
As is Miss Kilgallen.
I knew someone who worked at Vidal Sassoon’s. He said he wasn’t a very good hairdresser, but a great business man.
We do have to hold him responsible, however, for taking women's hats out of fashion.
He used to give me the classic pudding basin cut for 50cents.
That question has been answered by our audience
wow, some really great characters on this show, vidal was the quintessential charming englishman, ursula andress was a bonafide sex goddess, henry morgan and gypsy rose lee were forces in their own right. gypsie grew up in vaudeville and had very little in the way of a formal education, but was well known for a very wide and skilled vocabulary. and gypsy may have helped cover up a couple of killings by her mother.
Well that was fun.
Ursula was jokingly called "Ursula Undress for her Playboy pictorials and nude scenes in movies, so It's ironic that Gypsy Rose Lee was on the panel.
Arlene's remark after Gypsy Rose Lee said you have to bend them when they're hot, "that's true of all of us "!
My husband STILL calls her Ursula Undress!
I love how Bennett says "heelicopter". After all, it comes from "helix" (spiral).
As GRL was saying about making fortune cookies is that you have to bend them when they're hot ............ Arlene Francis pipes up..."That' true of all of us"! In 1967 I am SHOCKED that it got by the censors! Ya gotta love live TV! But then again I have heard Arlene make many somewhat "suggestive" comments in other WHL shows!
🦂👍🥂
IIRC, in the mid-late '80's there was a one-hit-wonder band called "Oxo", whose one hit was "Whirly Girl" - having nothing to do with female helicopter pilots.
What is a Shot C?
Ooh La La Sassoon ! And Halo Girl's...👩❤👩
Maybe because I grew up in the 70's, I recognized Vidal Sassoon immediately. But he was already making a lot of news so surprised that Arlene, who had quite a fashion sense and was on the board of Bonwit Teller, didn't know who he was right away. (Although she was the one who got it!)
As virtually everyone knows, there were two James Bond pictures in 1967. "Casino Royale" (which was an unofficial film, and was more of a spoof), and "You Only Live Twice" (which was part of the official EON/United Artists franchise).
As the first Bond girl, her voice was actually dubbed over by another actress for Dr. No
The song ung in the film Dr No when Ursula is coming out of the water was sung by Diana Coupland from Armley Leeds who was Did James wife in Bless this House.
Ursula is a pure Goddess
After congratulating Vidal Sassoon on his recent marriage, John Charles Daly wishes him "many issue" (at 10:58). Nobody would say that today, because "issue" has a very different meaning now.
In your trust paperwork, it still has the same meaning. (ie, offspring)
The marriage lasted fourteen years, to 1981.
Vidal Sassoon was a legit Mystery Guest on the syndicated WML during the Wally Bruner years.
Ha ha you gotta laugh at the blokey roar that went up after Bennett's question about chassis. So gloriously un-PC now but it's great. He tellin' da truth. :)
Notice with what interest the two female panellists stare at Ursula Andress as she leaves the show. Women admire beautiful women with the same intensity as men.
They're looking for things wrong with her, like if a tag is stuck to her shoe.
When the women on the panel, look at the other celebrity women the way they look at Ursula until they leave, its because the celebrity is really gorgeous in person...and she was GORGEOUS!!
Apparently an edit at :25. If so, you're getting really good at this business, Gary!
CORRECTED -- Gil Fates wrote about the second game in is book, and it illustrates that his memory of details was sometimes inaccurate. Of course he did not have the luxury of this channel to use for double checking. He gets Gypsy Rose Lee’s classic observation correct, and he get’s Arlene’s come back right. However, he identified Gypsy as solving the game when Arlene in fact solves the game.
Alas, not Dorothy who made the comeback. That was classic Arlene.
soulierinvestments
I think you simply mistyped when you wrote "Dorothy's come back," above. Which classic observation and comeback did you mean? The camera is not on the panelist who shouts out, "It's Sassoon!" and I also thought it was Gypsy. Upon rewatching that incident a couple of times, though (beginning with Henry's question at around 8:10, I now think you are correct that it was Arlene who guessed it.
SaveThe TPC
I'm sure it was just a (Freudian?) slip by soulierinvestments. We all miss Dorothy in these final shows. The remark that Gil Fates mentioned was Gypsy's comment at 13:20 on how hard it is to make fortune cookies: "You have to bend them when they're hot." and Arlene's rejoinder "That's true of all of us."
My Freud is in indeed showing. I will edit it.
You can hear two panelists as she sitting down at 15:26 saying, "It's a girl, it must be".
Ursula Andress was the first "Bond Girl" in 1962's "Dr. No" and she was also in the first "Casino Royal" in 1967 which was a Bond Spoof. I don't know what she did in the second film. The first one can last a guy forever! I never saw it until the 70's.

Ursula Andress played a femme fatale in CASINO ROYALE
Was Ursula Andress the only legit Bond star to appear in Casino Royal in 1967? I've never seen it. Is it worth the space on my computer?
+Joe Postove Gruesomely bad: consider the damage to your teeth from the gritting!
Don't waste your time. It's a colossal waste of talent.
I thought the movie was good but I was a kid when I saw it so who knows lol
Joe , It was a spoof and I think It's hilarious myself and fun to watch
@@michaelnivens6267 Me too! I love the soundtrack!
@kenyongray2615. Ursala Andress is my fourth favorite Bond woman. Honor Blackman will always be my absolute favorite Bond woman, with Maud Adams second and Claudine Auger third.
So obvious they give them hints before the show.
This is the actual voice of Ursuala Andress, and I love it. Nice and exotic. Listen to the way she pronounces "Casino Royale". But it was deemed too thick to understand, so she would often be dubbed in her films.
None of the moviegoing public who saw "Dr. No" during its original run in theaters knew that she was dubbed. This information was revealed years and years later. The only films I can think of in which her original voice is intact are "Fun in Acapulco", "The Fifth Musketeer", and "What's New Pussycat?" (in that film, at least to me, her voice sounded thicker than it did in "Dr. No").

That's Noo Yawk to you! :-)
LOL, Cerf asks about Mia's hair...Vidal did that for her. ;)
Yah I laffed at that too lol!! And Sasoon here was modest enuf not to say anything that UM I WAS THE ONE THAT DESIGNED THE HAIR LOLOL
Sassoon claimed that Mia Farrow designed it herself. Did he lie about that?
@@loissimmons6558 No, she cut it herself. It was a studio prank to show him cutting here hair.
john derek dumped her for bo derek. he thought ursula was getting old and she was in her late 30s. what a jerk
He was, indeed.
Elke Sommer shoulda been a Bond girl. I wonder why she wasn't, it's so obvious! What was Bennett referring to about 17:20 when he asked Miss Andress if she had one of the most magnificent "shanties" in the female race?
Joe Postove Remember the "Matt Helm" series with Dean Martin? She was one of the girls in the 4th film "The Wrecking Crew".
But yes, she should have been a Bond girl. I don't get why she was not.
He asked if she had one of the most magnificent chassis....
Elke Sommer played Linka Karensky in "The Wrecking Crew." Sharon Tate played Freya Carlson, the klutzy "good girl," in the same movie. Nancy Kwan (Yu-Rang) and, post-"Gilligan," Tina Louise (Lola Medina), also have important roles in "The Wrecking Crew."
Speaking of those Matt Helm movies, Beverly Adams (the 2nd Mrs. Sassoon, mentioned in the post-identification chat) played Lovey Krayvezit in the first three of those four films ("The Silencers," "Murderers' Row," and "The Ambushers"), as well as Cassandra in the final installment of American International Pictures' beach films, "How To Stuff A Wild Bikini," which starred Dwayne and Annette (as in Hickman and Funicello).
jmccracken1963 You're thinking of Beverly Adams.
I ve revised my comment. Please re-read.
How does Daly say going clockwise when they are in a line?
More a question of why.
Great epi despite the absence of Dorothy Kilgallen.
Damn that LBJ!
Although LBJ had many faults, he had nothing to do with Dorothy Kilgallen's death. Sorry.
Henry Morgan. Who the heck is that?
An improvement over Hal Block?
She was “She.” “She” was originally was a book written by H Rider Haggard, a great name for an action author. It’s a great title for a great concept. The first movie version starred Helen Gahaghan, who eventually became a U S Representative from California and ran against Richard Nixon for one of California’s U S Senate seats. I can’t recall if Andrus got elected to anything.
soulierinvestments i remember that film! I saw it in the theatre in summer of 1965. I was 7 years old. It scared me and I wondered why my father ever took me to see it.
She was great In " She " ( the Movie ) - also really good In 4 For Texas and Casino Royale
Her 31st birthday.
*"Heelocopter?"*
Arlene: "That's true of all of us!" LOL
I don’t understand why they have Henry Morgan I’m this program.
Because Roy Orbison wasn’t available.
Henry Morgan or Roy Orbison?
