Okay my lovelies, this one isn't technically "What's My Line?" but I had to post it for all those Arlene adorers. Soooo cute!

Enjoy ;D

oh, arlene. "the character is perfectly darling" .. yes. and so are you!

oh my goodness. laughing through trombone playing. no one does it better!

p.s. the reference steve allen, chicago boy, makes to the ARAGON BALLROOM at the end is to a real place in chicago, not far from the uptown theatre. just in case people were wondering....

My favourite part is when that lady asks if Arlene has to learn to flirt and Arlene replies, "No I learned to do that in school" hahaaa she never fails to crack me up.

Thanks for the extra trivia, martha

OH. EM. GEE.

There is a What's My Line? message board on Television Without Pity. Apparently GSN will quit airing WML March 30. Revolt!!

Get in line at your local box office. A Dorothy Kilgallen biopic is coming in 2011.

So a few posts ago, I put up the charming clip of Arlene Francis playing the trombone on another gameshow, but I just found this gem on YouTube and thought I HAD to post it here. It's Arlene's trombone tutor as the mystery guest!! Great television ;D

OH MY GOODNESS, check this out. Okay, I officially love Arlene even more now. She is hilarious in this clip where "the wine hit her" to use a quote from the Philly Story.. p.s. Let's just call this thread the Arlene appreciation society lol kidding.. sorry to the fans of other panelists (I love all of them, just take a shining to A.F.), it's just that I've come accross some great Arlene ones.. and here's the latest GEM!

i just love watching arlene say "if it hasn't got strings can you blow on it?" .. arlene, a game gal. always looking for the humor. wait there's more.....

[martha]

you know ... now that i've watched the whole thing again .. i'm reminded that this show was taped on sunday evenings .. the panels had probably been out to dinner and (in arlene's case here) perhaps had a little nip fo something ... so adorable!

[gottamatch]

Hahaa martha, somehow I think you're right! It's so out of character, she seems to be so professional even though she's always a little cheeky with the guests! I like when it gets to Arlene's go for her second turn and she says "I like you, Mr. Taylor.." hahaa off her trolley. Oh, Arlene; we're laughing with you, not at you!

My favourite part is when they call a conference and Dorothy or Bennett suggests it's a bagpipe and Arlene says "but you blow on that" and proceeds to make a rasberry blowing sound haha Check out the look on Bennett's face before he puts his head in his hands with sheer laughter LOL

LOL
What a great clip.
No only is Arlene acting a little too "happy"
but what I'm more concerned about is Dorothy walking down the street with a church bell..
"Mr. Taylor if I tried to carry this down the street would it be rather awkward?"
I'm not gonna lie, I laffed, hard. At the thought of our lovely Kilgallen hauling a church bell ("haul it over, haul it over"-sorry, had to quote Kate) down the street.

Thanks for the clip Jess.
