Eva Gabor’s partner was my dad! He was a student at Yale Divinity School at the time. He and my mom used his winnings to go Europe on $5 a day that summer.
He was a good sport! 😂.. How special for you to have that memory. ❤... I was wondering, since Eva was struggling to give the words in the lightening round,..... Did they maybe end up giving him more than just the $100???
Eva is a hoot! She plays however she wants. She gets away with it because she’s so funny and charming. She’s pretty brave to play this game in English!
You forgot beautiful! She and Eddie Albert seemed like a real couple in "Green Acres" though were both in happy, loving relationships "at home." I think Merv Griffin was her true love. Such a smart man.💕
Eva talks and disrupts, but unlike many of her female peer celebrities, her talking had nothing to do with trying to cheat or get an advantage on a word. Her integrity in that regard was superb and refreshing.
Saw Paul in concert in Phoenix a summer ago (2018) and he was absolutely fantastic! The crowd loved him and stormed the stage afterwards. He was so wonderful to hug and shake hands with all those people. Catch one of his concerts if you have the chance! You will be royally entertained!
Just went to Google and found out that Paul Anka is still living, found a video promoting his concert tour in 2019 (he still sounds pretty damned good) and in fact so strange that if I flew out to Clearwater Florida sometime later today and stayed overnight, I can actually see him live performing (Clearwater) tomorrow March 7, 2020. Wow! So cool to see that he is still at it! Definitely a special spirit.
If someone has never tried to learn another language or has never been in a foreign country, they may not be able to fully appreciate how difficult this game would be for Eva. She was delightful.
Playing with Eva is definitely a language disadvantage, but I can't think of another celebrity who would make "losing" (if it happened) so enjoyable....Its literally worth the $500.00. She's authentically original here. Like they say...if you gotta go, what a way to go.
Paul Anka's first hit, Diana, went to Number One the year that I was born; which was 1957. Then seven years later, came the Beatles and the British Invasion, which changed popular music forever.
Astonishing that Ms. Gabor appeared that night. She was struck by a pistol in the head, punched in the mouth, tied up, gaged, generally roughed up by two gunmen in her Miami apartment merely 12 days prior to the airing of this show. What a professional!!!
Watching Eva play the lightening round was hilarious. As the contestants were waiting, they were probably praying to partner with the handsome Paul Anka.
Eva Gabor is SO SMART!!!. Before she gives the clue for "Lion". She give many little hint for the word such as roar her voice and said "hypnostize". Too bad that lady did not get it.

The Number One song that week was There I Said it Again by Bobby Vinton. It was also Number One the same week that Eva Gabor and her husband at the time, Wall Street stockbroker Richard Brown, were both in Miami, and she was beaten and robbed of a $25,000 diamond ring. It was the last Number One song by an American artist at that time. Then of course, came the Beatles and the British Invasion, which forever changed popular music
I totally love Zsa Zsa, she's my favourite female celebrity, she was totally floof, hilarious and beautiful, her sister isn't so majestic, but she's still adorable and enchanting to watch. OK her English isn't great but who can say they speak Hungarian as well as she English? Especially in US or UK. The objective is to be good with word meanings but entertainment is also important, dull guests who might be good at the game wouldn't be as interesting to watch.
Eva had certain advantages over Paul (and other celebrities she appeared with on different Password shows) when she elicited the help of Allen. Yet Paul had a better understanding of the English language and therefore also had an advantage. They both balanced themselves out!
They had to throw away All of the Rules just to Accommodate Eva Gabor !! This Show had to be completely reconfigured and tailor made to suit the unique demands of the enchanting Miss Gabor !!
He asked her about her diamond being missing, it was her sister that was robbed. So the host mixed her up right at the beginning, she handled it quite well.
Zsa Zsa was also robbed of jewels as well. She got robbed of her jewels back in 1970 when she was appearing in the Broadway show Forty Carats in New York.
@@maxsands3861 both zsa zsa and eva were robber zsa zsa in the 70s and eva in 64 her ring was stole her and her husband at the time were tied up and she was hit with a pistol and punched in the face.
Her mom was a Big time Madam of Prostitutes back in Hungary & sent her 3 daughters to fancy boarding schools with the money she earned from prostitutes. She then taught her daughters to marry for money & sent them to the U.S. Eva once was asked why she called everyone “Darling” & she replied it’s an easy way to coverup that can’t & wont remember people’s names as she didn’t care too
I am Hungarian on my mother's side. Her brother lived in Los Angeles and sang on Hungarian radio. He met stars like Ernie Kovacs and the Gabor sisters. I loved Eva Gabor on "Green Acres". She is very entertaining in general and she would be fine on a game show like Hollywood Squares where she could be picked by either contestant. However, on a show like Password, it was very unfair for the non-celebrity contestant who was matched with her. (It wouldn't have been so bad on the previous nighttime format where the same two contestants played the whole game and simply switched between the celebrities.) I was surprised that she could even help win one game and she didn't know English well enough to play the lightning round properly. She had to have the clock stopped so often, it was probably the longest lightning round in the history of the game.
He usually asks the man if he is married or "what do you do for a living", and the woman if she is a "working girl". lol It had different connotations back then.
For "Affection," I would've used its pretty much direct synonym: "Affinity." Another way of going is saying the word "Liking" ... with a slight gesture of snuggly(ness) (but not so broad as to be hand-slapped for giving a gesture LOL :-)
@I've seen the Twinkie and the damage done I do (as well as a number of my friends). That said, maybe it wouldn't be - or certainly HAVE been - common enough to be a viable clue :-)
19:47 she says "last time I didn't know about grasshopper" - so it sounds like she might have been on before. Unless she was on another game show and is mistaken. She seemed to have a lot of fun with this episode, though.
One of the commenters here said what clue they would have used for affection. When i watched this last night, i kept thinking that i would have said kissing. Maybe that would have helped to solve that one.Or even the word " shows". Like to show affection.

Seem like your dad is very patience.... funny and smart. I love his expressions reflect to Eva Gabor.
@ thank you! Yes he was a very kind and patient father. Miss him everyday.
The boy is on fire! Paul is so good, and good to look at too. :)

Saw him in concert at Casino Rama, Ontario, before the pandemic. Still amazing!

If someone has never tried to learn another language or has never been in a foreign country, they may not be able to fully appreciate how difficult this game would be for Eva. She was delightful.
Very good pont.
True but the contestant suffers.
I'd be so annoyed if they paired me with a non-native-speaker who learned English after puberty. Huge handicap.
Obviously it's difficult which is why they should not have had her on.

Was always partial to Paul's "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" recorded by Buddy Holly in 1958 and his 'Kodak' masterpiece, "The Times of Your Life."

It is terrible that happened to her!
Wow…horrible
@@ValerieDunn-h1u yes
I knew Ava would be funny & lovable! She did very well being English is her second language.
Paul Anka sure was handsome here.
Watching Eva play the lightening round was hilarious. As the contestants were waiting, they were probably praying to partner with the handsome Paul Anka.
"What nationality are you?"
Paul: "Canada." 😂😂😂
Eva is hilarious 💘 I love her
Gorgeous looking woman;;
5:11 "DAHLING.. now really!".. love eva
Anka would appear at the San Remo music festival in '64; that might be where he was off to when he said he was going to Italy.
Nice!!
Paul Anka is my fav 5os teen idol
Eva is adorable and so classy!

I’ve always thought Eva was the real star of the Gabor sisters. She had class!
Eva Gabor is SO SMART!!!. Before she gives the clue for "Lion". She give many little hint for the word such as roar her voice and said "hypnostize". Too bad that lady did not get it.
Eva is the best entertaining contestant ever , Also very brave to take part when English isn't her first language .
Paul Anka’s 18 second lightning round pretty fun to watch
Why doesn’t anybody mention that Paul stands up to shake hands with his partner
ALWAYS!!
It’s what all men used to do.
Just Good Canadian Manners
And, he would even nod to his new opponent. He is a classy gentleman.
Men were expected to stand up to greet ladies.
Eva Gabor was the most charming of the women in her family. What a beautiful and complete delight!
Hi Fi sets - now there is something I haven't heard about in many years.
I so love Ava Gabore. I wish she was on more often. She was on Match Game a fair amount and I always I loved seeing her every single time she was on
She was atrocious. She ruined the show. I'll give her a pass for match game because they had other ding dongs like joyce Boulifant.
I'm not sure if it was this episode or another but I loved that Eva didn't know what yarn was.
Eva trying to say wool is adorable! Also, I love how mad she gets when her partner says the wrong thing.
Bushel....
Little tree - well of course, dahling. Don't you know English?

Eva Gabor did well considering that Hungarian is her native tongue.
Eva Gabor was so funny !..Love her 💘! .. What a Beauty she was in 1964☺️ ✨👰🏼✨ and so young here - in her mid - 20s maybe?..
Her bio says she was born in 1919, so mid 40's. She is delightfully funny.
I saw her in 1982 and she was still so beautiful...❤

That's so horrible that someone did that to her. Sadly, it's an every day occurrence now.
I've always loved Ava and Paul Anka is gorrgeous.
This is the funniest Password 😊👍🏆
At 18:15 after Allen had to tell them the word, Eva's reaction to her game partner is hilarious.
Paul here reminds of the charakter Vinny from"My Kousin Vinny" . Anybody else? Just me? ok.
Paul was on the show to stay grounded..he was very famous like girls chasing after him famous!!
Info: Paul Anka is still alive, 80 yrs old
Loved early morning reruns of Green Acres when I was on my way to school in the early 70s.
Gabor looks older than she did a year later on Green Acres...
Her look looks older to us because the youthful glamerous look of the time is what our grandmother's would have looked like.
Maybe it's the black and white format?
Zsa zsa was green acres
@@brianfisher9315 WRONG. Sigh...
@@brianfisher9315 Eva was..
Thank you for printing the accurate date aired.
English is a difficult language, and Eva's confusion is obvious.....and she speaks excellent English!
I was laughing when Eva was chastising her partner after the word affection😅😅😅
She's so funny and English isn't her first language
Eva es muy simpatica y amigable
I had no idea Paul is Canadian.
And I thought Peter Lawford had the Lightning round record.
I'm sure Lawford did his 12-second Lightning Round after this.
Allen Ludden was a great host .
At 11:52 , "wedding" was a terrific clue for "aisle" perfectly valid clue but in a way, a defensive clue. Great job, Eva! :)
thanks for the comment!

I prefer Eva over Zsa Zsa. And she know exactly what she's doing. But she's genuinely fun.
Why do people think Eva is ignorant? She definitely is not. Sea Sea was very intelligent. Both were very beautiful and very smart
Zsa Zsa
Eva had certain advantages over Paul (and other celebrities she appeared with on different Password shows) when she elicited the help of Allen. Yet Paul had a better understanding of the English language and therefore also had an advantage. They both balanced themselves out!
I saw the thumbnail twice, and both times I mistook Eva's male partner for Bill Cullen.
Ava 's sooo confident .
Eva Gabor is hilarious.

I like Eva Gabor and I love Green Acres, but Eva Gabor should have NEVER been on this show. I honestly can't believe they had her back!
The Gabor sisters made a fortune pretending they didn't speak English. So did Charo

She then taught her daughters to marry for money & sent them to the U.S. Eva once was asked why she called everyone “Darling” & she replied it’s an easy way to coverup that can’t & wont remember people’s names as she didn’t care too
Remember English is not Eva's first language.
Of course not. She was born in Hungary. She also spoke French and German as well as English and her native Hungarian.
What nationality are you?
*Canada*
I'm really surprised how after Anka got "Spaghetti," Ludden didn't say… And that's appropriate, as you're just about to go off to Italy!"
Eva would have said schpaghetti; just like she did on Green Acres.
@@Lisa-di1wi LOL, I LOVE it; that's probably right!!
Yeah, Eva Gabor is not only funny, but beautiful! I loved her in "Green Acres" & she loved Arnold the pig. One of my favorite 60's shows!

Any contestant playing the lightning round with Eva should be awarded the $250 automatically. Or given an extra 5 minutes.

Formation (6 seconds; partial)

Oh, Eva...
poor poor Eva!! But she's such a good sport!!! So many words that wouldn't come up in "conversational English"
Paul is a deep thinker!
Inbetween is not two words, Mr. Ludden.
What is a "High Five" set"
"Hi fi" short for "high fidelity"
For "affection" I might have tried "Affinity"
Wowsers ! Eva was 🔥 🔥 🔥.
Wish my landlady looked like that,
I would never pay rent .
?
Compare pictures of Shirley Jones and Eva Gabor.
No thanks. At least Shirley can speak English which should be a requirement for this game.
Bushel is a small bush? How did that get by in those days when people were far more particular with their language.
Was this the only time Eva was on the panel?
that's the only one I've been able to find
Eva only appeared one time on "Password."
19:47 she says "last time I didn't know about grasshopper" - so it sounds like she might have been on before. Unless she was on another game show and is mistaken. She seemed to have a lot of fun with this episode, though.
At 23:35 Allen Ludden says "Eva, it was a delight to have you back" so there must have been a previous appearance.
She was on a later episode; 1968? I'm assuming that would be season 7
Eva is definitely a glutton for attention. Love this show anyway.
Not fair to contestant when his partner does not know english enough to know what the words mean.

Ok just learned something did not no he was/Is Canadian.
His ethnicity is Lebanese.
from Ottawa
I've known that forever. He Lebanese and his son in law is JASON BATEMAN!
Let's not pretend like Eva didn't got horrible partners they were not very bright.
Okay. I've heard both. Who was in Green Acres? Eva or Zha Zha? I'm not even certain of their spelling ..

Eva was, and her sister was Zsa Zsa.
Eva was very good at Password.
