Never EVER get tired of seeing Maureen O'Hara. I have to say she was definitely one of the most beautiful women mystery guests in the history of What's My Line.
@@519djw6 You're no doubt a boy, Hong, dumb, and full of ___, thinking calling someone a beautiful "older woman" is a compliment. No woman likes that phrase, child. You'll do better in life if you never use it again.
I've never understood exactly what it was about Maureen O'Hara that was so captivating. Certainly she was stunningly beautiful (even her signature was gorgeous), brilliant, talented, charming, gracious, witty, vivacious... everything, but there was something more. She was simply spellbinding and I'll never be able to put my finger on it. Anytime she was in frame I never saw anything else but her.
The Hunchback. She entered into the fame zone after filming the Notre Dame´s Hunch, the stark contrast of her warmy sainty beauty with the personage of Charles Laughton somewhat got deep into the minds of the viewers and made her memorable forever. By the way, that role of Esmeralda was an inch of having been given to Vivian Leigh (If she had not gotten the Scarlet O´Hara one, which could´ve happen if Selznick had been distracted or in ill-humor the day he met Vivian). The contrast would have been neuron destroyer more dramatic with Leigh, and different .... Maureen portraited goodness and sainthood, while Vivian .......
The downside to WML having had virtually every major celebrity on the program at one time or another is that, going forward, every time a celebrity of the era passes away, it becomes a WML-related event. As I've said in the past in similar situations, I think the best way we can honor the memory of these folks is by revisiting their performances and remembering them for the joy they brought to the world, rather than wallowing in sadness at their passing. I honestly think this is what most performers would want from the public. R.I.P., Maureen O'Hara.
***** That would have been one of the most memorable segments if it had ever happened-- even more surprising, in a way, than Eleanor Roosevelt appearing!
I think it's perfectly natural to experience feelings of sadness (also joy) when watching these old clips. I feel reassured by many of these public comments. It shows me that there is a wonderful community of people out there who are kind, thoughtful and sensitive. It's lovely that we are given this opportunity to honour the memory of these people in our own way.
several weeks I had the Biografie from Maureen O'Hara on my bedside table. When I started to read, she was still alive. I've always enjoyed to watch her performances and I was a bit sad as I read that she is gone. I will enjoy this years "miracle of 34th street" even more than last year in her memory (is one of my favorites beside of "Remember the night") R.I.P. Maureen O' Hara
18:05 The panel had started an impromptu "conference",Dorothy immediately remembers the rules & backs off. Martin Gabel apologizes to John Daly & says it was his fault. Can you imagine this was just a game show? Such grace & class!
Being an Indian, I am amazed to know that even the people who are visiting India in 2021 have the same kind of opinion about India and its people likes they did decades ago! ..... Millions of them, friendly people!
Hard to believe that this woman starred in "The Hunchback Of Notre Dame" in 1939. If anything, she's even more beautiful 1959. I just love looking at her.
Mr. Daly makes me smile because he's such an alpha! Decisive, guiding with hands on to direct the gobsmacked guests to stand on the X within in camera range in the beginning of their appearance, patting men and women to put them at ease or show camaraderie. Really, he's a gem.
Given the recent loss of Maureen O'Hara is is worthy to note that this show is almost 56 years old. These vignettes serve as a window into another era whose class and style are sadly now just artefacts of an archeology of the past. It is also interesting that Ms. O'Hara was the last surviving member of this show until her passing.
The sardine taster was fascinating! Never thought there would have been such a thing lol. She explained very well. At least she got a chance to explain too
I'm stunned. By coincidence I just came across this episode again with the picture of the young Maureen O'Hara and read in disbelieve "R.I.P, Maureen O'Hara". Didn't trust my eyes first. I always liked her and admired her really exceptional beauty, even in old age, although she (according to her autobiography) had always felt that her looks had stand in her way in getting more substantial roles. Now she didn't make it to 102 as she had hoped for. Luckily her grandson and his family took lovingly care of her in her last years. May you rest in peace, Mrs. O'Hara.
t is nice to see someone from Bangor, Maine. That's the only place of the USA I've been to. Also, I love sardines. Oh Dorothy loves them too. I just can't find a flaw in that woman.
@@sallyhaid7030 Oh, Okay. Sorry, I didn't see that your reply was 5 years ago. I remember when she passed. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago. She was a great lady. It's nice to have a format where we are able to see them again as they once were.
@@CombatDoc54 It's not your fault people can't write in complete sentences, conveying complete thoughts. "She". Who? There were two females on the panel and two female guests. Ugh.
Agreed. And Maureen O'Hara was exquisite! I thought this was the best Dorothy ever looked on screen, a sign of the times maybe, with better camera lighting and angles, more modern and flattering hair and makeup. Not to mention her razor sharp mind. Very enjoyable video!
Even in black and white Maureen is breath-taking! Her bone structure is exquisite! Coupled with her warmth and honest personality, made her one of my favorite actresses.
Finally someone from Maine!!! I've watched every episode since like 1954 and this is the first Mainer I've seen. She was a very nice representation of my state, if a bit longwinded. :)
I met her here in Dublin years ago when her autobiography came out. She was still stunning then. Funny I expected her to say no when asked was she American🤔
We didn't start the fire. But we baby boomers didn't put it out, either! ua-cam.com/video/eFTLKWw542g/v-deo.html And a parody version from my alma mater, Cornell ("We Didn't Go To Harvard"): ua-cam.com/video/d7Rjk1WGHp8/v-deo.html
lasuvidaboy Once you get your citizenship you are technically an American. There is an English young lady in my hiking club who got her citizenship a month ago, so now she is American even thugh she has an accent. I don't believe Maureen said she was American by birth like some one stated below. Maureen had a total Irish accent in "The Quiet Man" with John Wayne and even spoke Irish Gaelic in that one. Slan!
Hedy Lamarr, Madeleine Carroll, Maureen O'Hara, and Elizabeth Taylor in that order as far as the most beautiful women on screen go. You can't see the evidence in this clip but Ms O'Hara was sometimes referred to as the actress for whom Technicolor was invented. Damn good actress too, especially in The Quiet Man.
I wonder if Maine's sardine industry is still regulated so closely. My perception is that food safety inspections have dramatically decreased over the years. (Not just in Maine, of course.)
Ironically, this Irish beauty gave one of her best-remembered performances as a young Welshwoman, "Angharad Morgan," in "How Green Was My Valley." But that was close enough--both the Irish and the Welsh are Celts!
Regarding Eisenhower's trip to India in Dec. 1959, more than a million people massed to pay homage to the American president and to hear him declare peace never will be realized until all mankind is free. Nehru said it was the greatest civic reception he had ever seen at the sprawling Ram Lila Park between Old and New Delhi, and it was the largest crowd Eisenhower ever faced.
The secret service agent was part of the delegation of US President Dwight Eisenhower's visit to India and I may say that this was the biggest event attended by a foreign dignitary since the Delhi Durbar.
Was "Does It Have Any Moving Parts" an Arlene Francis original? I've been watching about one "Line" a day lately (trying on the scary fifties) and she seems to be the one who says it most or perhaps the only one. By the way, I am enjoying the 50's more than I thought would (being an early 60's partisan).

My God, what a beauty she was! And considering her age, she certainly has my vote for gorgeous "older woman" today.
they had a lot of beauties over the years. Debbie Reynolds,Ava Gardner,Ann Sheridan to name a few.
I loved the little wave she gave on her way off stage.

It's sad that nowadays (at most elementary schools) students are not even taught cursive writing anymore & that's a mistake.
Arlene Francis is SO good. She's like some kind of genie.
Even her handwriting was beautiful and classy. There are no real stars like this anymore
+Robert Rauschenbach I noticed the same thing. Makes me want to "go back to the drawing board" with my own signature!
Stunningly beautiful, but with grace and much class.

And I like the way John hooks his baby finger to the contestant's, to hold them in place...
Ah, same, I just love him!
I always envied John Daly being able to whisper in the ears of such beautiful women when it came to the MG segments...
Arlene: " Does it have any moving parts?"
Daly: "No"
Arlene: "I was still thinking of men!!"
LMAO
Maureen O'Hara was beautiful all her life, but I think her middle years were her most beautiful - she's almost 40 here!
"The last time you looked in the mirror, were you blonde?"
HA! NEVER!

So youthful & beautiful, and she was nearly 40.
Celebrities were so classy back then, not trashy like they are now.
There were a few who acted trashy but nothing compared to today’s trashy looking women
