- John and the panel are beside themselves over this sexy young lady who has patterned her whole look and style after Marilyn Monroe. Robert Preston is the guest panelist.
![What's My Line? - Mamie Van Doren; Melvyn Douglas [panel] (Mar 24, 1957)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TkLVdIGInd8/mqdefault.jpg)
“You’re trying to throw me just because she can?” Arlene was such a witty, charming, intelligent woman! What a treasure.
Absolutely, time and again she's just brilliant. Years ahead of her time.
@@htimsid I think she was perfect 'in her time' & for all time.
American TV Shows are all fake
I LOVE watching these old programmes. Everyone's so polite and good natured and flirty.
And very smart! I love how eloquently the host, John Daly, explains nuances without giving too much away. He is absolutely perfect for this show.
Yes, I miss politeness and flirting that didn't cross boundaries.
I especially miss the days when it was impolite to talk politics or religion in mixed company. Lately, I'm afraid to attempt small talk while waiting. Too many angry people walking around ready to explode.
Sleazy = men
@@Briannafrancis-e9g poor child
And it is all natural behaviors as well.
@@Briannafrancis-e9g
How is it sleazy for men to flirt with women on an entertainment show?
She actually resembles Marilyn more so than others who have attempted to look like Monroe -
I actually think she's more attractive than Marilyn.
Jimmy james does it very well
Suzie Kennedy, who is British, is a very convincing Marilyn.
@@CharmingNewSociety Well, she's obviously a studied and strong woman, who could throw you across a room, so likely would be the kind of girl who'd help you shoe horses then say "wash the dishes hon," so, my kind of woman!
She looks like she could pass for Marilyn's sister or cousin. She is pretty.
Actually it doesn't matter whether she looks 50% or 80% like MM. She's definitly gorgeous! 100% ;)
*definitely
She’s actually pretty ugly. Kind of has a joker smile.
@@cpw5071 I wouldn't say ugly but won't look as good without makeup for sure.
She’s a better actress than M.M.
L Lance MM looked average without makeup. Google her morgue pix___.
'Are you trying to throw me because she can'
So witty!
Arlene had a very quick wit about her. I think she is hilarious.
+bubgum00 She was taught by the best, Steve Allen.
Yes, a great line.
Jim DarkMagic j
Before my time, but I certainly would have signed up for her classes if I could have back then.
Arlene Francis' genius: "You won't catch a girl like that standing still."
AF: "Do they come to you for these services?" TW: "Yes." AF: "They'd be fools not to."
There isnt a TV show these days that cam hold a candle to programs like this one. These old shows were so funny and full of innuendos.
Todays culture is garbage.
Wow she looks exactly like Marilyn it’s incredible 😍
The attention to language and grammar is truly wonderful. This is back when we still thought television could be a force for good in the world. This isn't only funny it's delightful.
I started watching WML thoroughly in the last year. John Daly has an incredible command of the English language. When he explains to the panelists that they may be "wrong", he also words it that they "are not exactly right either". Thought to be the best game show host of all time aside from Barker or Sajak.
The resemblance to Marilyn is amazing. It's as if Marilyn is playing the role of a judo instructor. It's refreshing to see how much fun the panel could have with a beautiful woman and keep it CLEAN. Good CLEAN fun.
Face blindness like you have must be a horrible affliction.

Being an asshat fun for you?
Toni West is the type of woman that makes men melt.
Or crumple like a cheap cardboard box!
Or give them a stiffy!
🤓😆
She was a 5th Degree Black Belt in Judo and also Jiu Jitsu. She specialized in defense against knives.
Were was she from. Incredible ady
"You're trying to throw me John just because SHE can." Very clever line Arlene.
she is absolutely STUNNING!! my god these women need to exist again.
I concur, beautiful, eloquent and classy.
@Brains00007
Not these women
1911beauty I think they do. The difference is in the attitude and clothing/hair style.
She is still alive.
@@cadaverdog1424 how do you know?
No canned laughter. Just wits, charm and good natured people. What’s become of us?
Awful society today
"Are you just trying to throw me because she can"? LOVE Arlene!
The 'Monroe look was very hot with young women then and this lady seized the craze early.Thanks contestant,Toni West,you're contribution to feminine beauty is memorized here on UA-cam....50 years later!
Ms West has an effervescent personality and is beyond beautiful. I wish her all good wishes.
Unfortunately there’s a strong chance she has died of old age by now I would guess
@@mikeykm1993 Thats an understatment. Its Exactly the same chance we all have sooner or later.
@@joseluis-dj7ur Yeah, well, you're both wrong. Still alive in 2021.
@@MajorImpact Do you have any more information?
@@rickrick5041 I do, but I don't think i should be sharing specific details about her on here for the whole world to see.
she's adorable & John is having one of the best times with any guest
Marilyn Shmarilyn, this woman was beautiful in her own right.
she was in the movies 'a face in the crowd', 'never love a stranger'; an lyric soprano singer with the philadelphia opera company; wrote an off broadway musical titled 'Just a pill'. Is now 71, beautiful and still sings at events around philadelphia.
cknopman I met her this morning. She sang Yiddish songs at my Shul in Philadelphia and she is still very beautiful.
Can anybody verify if she still goes by Toni West?
@@zee3499 She does indeed.
@@callaknopman615 I looked her up but I couldn't find anything on her anywhere.
Toni West?
You've got to admit she was quite the looker.
Or is it hooker??
Bucky Brown She would never have looked at you, so don't worry.
beauty is only skin deep if thats the case my wife must have been born inside out 😂
Bucky Brown I’m not sure exactly when it started but sounds as if u would find the Me Too Movement laughable and believe that Brett Kavanaugh was an innocent choir boy.
She has such lovely feminine affectations. By comparison most US woman are now masculine.
Wow. Miss West really lights up the episode. Obviously she lit the men's fuses -- but Arlene and Dorothy also like her. [Dorothy waves like a school girl and Arlene observes dryly, "They be fools not to." ] LOL
soulierinvestments TOTALLY AGREEEEE!!!!
I was stationed near Miss West back in the day. We hit it off and dated. She said I was the best she ever had. I would do it with her for hours on end. I was boxing at the time and in great shape. She would even beg for it!!!!! I did her at her judo school right on the mats. We must have had relations well over 100+ times. Like an aggressive dog, I marked my territory. She wanted me more. I was tapping other ladies, she wanted us to be an item.
@@chucknorriss4758 Why would you date anyone else?
Hilarious!
"Could you teach Bob the difference between a Cha-Cha-Cha and a Merengue?"
"I certaninly could!"
"Are you a dancing teacher?"
"Nooooo!"
*certainly
BEST part of the whole video, hands down! LOL! I have watched it several times, knowing what's coming, and I'm still laughing with John and the rest. SOO dang cute! ! John looks like a giggly 12 yr old . 😄
I bet she's an excellent dancer, and very fit. Wouldn't it be cool if she combined Judo with dancing, and threw her opponent/partner elegantly around the room? I would LOVE to see that!
She was so charming
Arlene is the best! i love it whenever she smiles and makes a joke! very prettY when she smiles.
It's amazing how a lot of woman tried to look like marylin.... yet no one ever managed to really capture the magic of that woman's beauty
Wowww! She is stunningly beautiful. BTW that is an epic mustache on Robert Preston.
Robert Preston is the good looker in this episode, as far as I can see! What a handsome man and great talent.
I had to go back and look, and there he was under all that mustache! I've only ever seen him a bit older. Always found him charming and an amazing voice. He was quite handsome too
Arlene has at least one great zinger for every guest on WML? They don't make 'em like her anymore.
Amen!!
AMEN!! A.F. was as brilliantly witty as they come!! Amazing personality!!
She is known to all of us who adore WML, and of course she is famous, but I must say I think she is actually underrated!! Very underrated!!
Arlene makes it hard.
"You're just trying to throw me because she can," Awesome! I love Arlene's quick wit.
Another great example of the gorgeous ladies of the 1950's and 60's. Yes, their facial expressions were cultivated and practiced, but IMHO they were much more appealing than all the pierced and tattooed women walking around today.
@ 0:37 Dorothy is so adorable waving at Ms. West :)
sammy styre hahaha so amused
yes! she was very comical and adorable!
Dorothy = a gorgeous intelligence woman.
Oh such a wonderful time. Sophistication. Intelligence. Class. I love it.
She was a timeless beauty.
This was such fun watching these really amusing, witty, intelligent panelists & the wonderful guests!
John Daly was a great host.
Arlene Francis & Dorothy Kilgallen almost always led the way!
This is very funny! And I really like the way everyone is so polite and well-mannered throughout 😊
No She is not in a retirement home. She still is beautiful not a wrinkle in her face. She is 72 years old and wanted to go back into the entertainment business but she did not get a job because she did not know how to use the computer. She has a beautiful voice. She is a great person to know. She is a positive person with lots of energy.
She was not born in 1940. This aired in 1957. If she were 72 in the year 2012 that would make her 78-79 in the year 2019. Your comment is from 2012-13.
@@RADIUMGLASS I'm guessing she was born in the late 1920s or early 1930s. If she is still alive, she would be around 90 now.
@@RADIUMGLASS Your point being what? I'm not convinced that she wasn't still a teenager when she was on this show. She certainly wasn't 30.
Yvonne, how is it that you know her?
@@MajorImpact she use to work on jeweler row in Philadelphia. She is a great person. I haven’t seen her for about a year.
Arlene: Do people come to you when you're working?.....They would be fools not to.
awesome smile
If she had came in during the mystery guest.. everyone in the place would've screamed.. the resemblance is astounding and shes hotter than Georgia asphalt in the summertime..what a dish!
*had come
*she's
@@alvallac2171 oh fps relax. We got it.
For a few moments I thought Georgia Asphalt was a person.
@@alvallac2171 If she had come (yes), she's (no).
she is so beautiful.
Wow! As a HUGE MM fan, I am impressed! So many actresses have tried and failed miserably.
This sweet girl wasn't even trying
Because she didn't have to. Just remarkably perfect in her own right.
To state the obvious Toni West was a Knockout!
00:49 DAMN!!!! YOU HEAR how she said, "Yes Sir!". Oh my goodness my heart call 911.
Where is a time machine when you need one?
She might be prettier than Marrilyn .....never typed that before
What was the program director thinking??? Everyone was waiting to see Miss West walk off and greet each panelist on her way out and the camera stayed on John Daly until Miss West was almost off stage!!!
she's very charming !
A combination of Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield!
More a Jaynes Mansfield look, I think.
She looks like her especially from the side
She's so cute
This is one of my favorite episodes.
Amazing how much see looks like MM
this show is so ever fantastic-- luv all the manners of social media and courtesy of just being ''polite'' in any way>>>>> and then not!!! lol---- what class they truly all had... miss them---- AND what ever happened to Tony West??? anyone??
I met her about a month ago and she is still very beautiful and witty and has led an accomplished life.
@@lennydyk No, you didn't. She passed away 12 years ago.
@@4seeableTV No, she didn't. She's still alive in 2021. Spend some time with your favorite search engine and you'll see.
I love watching this time of shows.
Robert Preston roughly at the time he starred on Broadway in the premiere production of "The Music Man."
Arlene's damn wit
Her smile was so cheeky
Gees she is so attractive!!!! Just as cute as she can be!!!!killer smile!
She only superficially looks like Marilyn Monroe, but she is very attractive an charming.
she's lovely here
I love her. You can tell she is a smart lady. But what I like about her is she is a bombshell yet she can actually break your bones if you try to take advantage of her.
Killgallon had an amazing ability to focus in on the answer -- almost like radar.
I just discovered this show and love it!
what a knockout, where are these gorgeous creatures today?
hiding away from the spotlight, until they are ready to be discovered:)
Sitting at home curled up in their husband’s arms.
This was an adorable episode!
"Would you show us one of your tricks with Mr. Daly?" lol I love Bennett
What a beautiful woman. She doesn't look dated like the TV show she's appearing on, take her out of this setting and place her now in the 21st century Miss West would fit right in.
The host for sure liked his guest
John, omg hilariously adorable. 00:40. LOL love that man!
The Music Man Robert Preston is on the panel. I wonder what role he had at the time which required him to dye his hair black and have a mustache?
Miss West is not only beautiful but good natured and charming!
In old black and white film she's delightfully beautiful and a judo instructor, wow.. cA
What a sexy voice and delivery. Sweet!
I wish women still talked this way.
Never imagined the Music Man with a Mustache.
The camera loves Toni West and Toni West loves the camera.
The last thing this lady looks like is a judo instructor.
She does look like Marilyn Monroe!
How beautiful and sweet.
It's really amazing what people do with these questions.
oh Lord, Mr Daly is truly smitten here :)
Even when he was all horned up, John Daly was elegant and full of class.
Maribel Arrieta Galvez was Miss El Salvador 1955, she was literally Marilyn's clone👍
I think JFK and RFK had Galvez killed.
@@cadaverdog1424 oh God let it go already.
I need to know more about Ms. West. She seems like she had such an interesting life. That beautiful and a judo instructor in that time period?!? It takes a girl with a certain moxie, love it.
You can tell she’s studied movements of Marilyn’s, particularly with the mouth and lips, because she mimics them.
Imagine today a game show where they asked, "Is it Miss or Mrs?" That person would be shot.
The answer would be "yesn't"
Commies have destroyed everything.
@Doc Adam Yes! indeed nazi bitches
Hell, they wouldn't know.
Well, it was a polite way of finding out how to address the person. They'd just use the first name now.
I don't think I've ever seen Daly get so giggly, even when he's had famous guests who are world-class beauties. Miss West had him acting like a lovestruck schoolboy. Not surprising at all. She has that "It" quality - personality, looks, figure and a dazzling smile.
Your schoolboy reference is spot on.... she had just turned 16 a few weeks prior to her appearance.
@@MajorImpactno way was she as young as that.
Did miss West become a Mrs ….? Did she raised kids ? And how long did she live ? Such a cute personality that kept everyone happy !
Yes
Yes
She's still alive in 2021
@@MajorImpact thank you for this positive piece of news.👍🏻
Performing judo keeps people young for ever !, I know another case ! Not me though !….
Miss West was incredibly charming, or today we'd say cute.
Judo instructor? Wow! a real life "Honey" West!
I am doubly gobsmacked with this one. First, it's my first look at Dorothy with lighter-tinted hair, and I wasn't aware that Mr. Preston ever had a moustache.
That have to be the pretties judo instructor i ever seen
I think I was named after MM. She was my dad's favorite actress.
Always Fun!
Charm,Wit,and Intelligence with them all.
Ms West is an astounding beauty.
Arlene Francis was one of the wittiest and most gracious television personalities of all times. We don’t have that kind of elegance on television nowadays.
More beautiful than most of the glamorous celebrities appearing on this show...definitely smarter..!
Yes Toni here is more gorgeous than Arlene and Dorothy, but I still love Arlene and Dorothy! Are far as Toni being smarter, there's not enough time to make a judgment call on that during this episode.
Two things that are radically different on all these game shows from today.
First, can you imagine anyone going on a game show today where the BEST you can do is to win $50?
And, in all the game shows from the 50's, every time a good looking woman appears as a contestant, there are numerous "wolf whistles" from the male members of the audience. Heck, even John Daly acts like an excited school boy when he says "Sit down with me." What a change over the years.
Would have loved to see the real Marilyn surprise the audience by showing up and sitting next to this cutie Judo instructor. I'm sure the audience would have gone wild like never before seen on this show.
What a fun show!
What a beaut! ❤️
It would've been great to get on the mat with her!!!
