Subj : What's my line? To : JOE MACKEY From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun Sep 08 2019 09:26:00 Joe, JM> He was a noted pianist who had all sorts of phobia's, also a drug user, JM>but it all viewed in a humourous manner. (The drug use wasn't discussed JM>through). That's right!! He played the part of the pianist in several movies about the composers. JM> I always enjoy when a couple are guests and trying to figure out who the JM>person was would be asked "Are you male (female)" and the opposite one would JM>say "no" which really confused the panel. Well, there's only 2 choices. JM> My favourite panelist was Arlene Francis. I love that woman. Some of her JM>remarks were hilarious. There was one when she was asking something to the effect if their clients were in California. To the guests response, she quipped "So many people are!!" . JM> She always wore a heart shaped pendant her husband gave her years JM>before. In the mid '70s she was mugged with it being stolen and never JM>recovered. I'm sure she was depressed by that. My late Mom and late wife always said "if you get me jewelry, make sure it's 'costume jewelry'". That way, if it was stolen or lost, it wasn't a great economic loss. JM> And then Bennett Cerf and his horrible puns. Didn't he also do some books?? JM> He wouldn't last on tv today with his remarking to female guests how JM>pretty they are, or if their good looks had anything to do with their job. I can't stand political correctness. JM> And John Charles Daley, I always remember him as the first newscaster to JM>say, "We interrupt this program" to announce the bombing of Pearl Harbour. The 5 most feared words: "THIS IS NOT A DRILL" -- which was sent in Morse Code over ham radio, prior to the message that the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor, was sent.
