This is the golden thread that never ends.
I don't think the other members of the What's My Line panel liked Dorothy Kilgallen, Part 9

When did June Allyson turn into Rose Marie? All that's missing is the bow.

Johnnie Ray liked you, Dorothy. Doesn't that count?

June introduced her new off the forehead hairstyle in her TV series.
I have to laugh at Shelley's laughing at the rocking chair maker. It's fun when his hysterics infect Dorothy too.

It's hard to imagine that if Johnnie Ray wasn't gay....the woman he'd be having sex with was Dorothy Kilgallen.

I always imagined her as a kind of Mrs. Robinson, convincing Ray that she could "straighten" him out...

Plus when he speaks in the episode at the end of the last thread, 10 purses fall out of his mouth.

R7 and R9 ... what are you saying? Bennett and the male guest of the week always raved about how beautiful the "girls" of the panel were. Surely they couldn't have been lying!?
Arlene is a handsome woman with a sexy, coquettish way about her - more attractive at 50 than she was at 30, which might account for some of her relentless flirting (making up for lost time, that is).
Dorothy is no beauty, but she's not repulsive, either. She probably mothered Johnnie and made him feel protected and loved - plus they were probably both drunk as skunks when he fathered Kerry.
If you read Ray's bio at Wikipedia, it seems he remained emotionally attached to her and was deeply upset by her death.

Were any of Dorothy's vacancies due to visits to a "spa" for her drinking?

A new thread has to include the posting of my favorite contestant - Toni West.

Johnny Ray makes me feel ill. I can not imagine anybody finding him attractive. Absolutely the most confounding star I have ever seen

[quote] Over the next few weeks, Ms. McGee showed off her skills on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and “The Mike Douglas Show.” She was also on the game show “What’s My Line?,” where the actress Arlene Francis correctly guessed what Ms. McGee was known for before the three other panelists had a chance to ask any questions.

Dorothy's anecdote to June is a backhanded compliment. That woman has a pretty dress and a wonderful figure. It's June Allyson?!

Kind of sad to watch Judy Holliday in that MG moment at r15. She had just opened on Broadway in a HUGE flop musical called HOT SPOT in which she played a daffy Peace Corp worker (I think) in Africa Terrible reviews after tortuous out of town tryouts and creatives being fired left and right. IIRC there was finally no director even listed in the Broadway Playbill. It was written by Mary Rodgers (daughter of Richard) but it was no ONCE UPON A MATTRESS, Mary's previous show. Mary didn't have the nicest things to say about Judy in her bio.
The run probably didn't last much longer than that WML appearance. But she and JCD and the panel put on good faces and talked about the show as if it was a triumph. Of course, Judy's performance probably was triumphant in any case, her final Broadway show, I think. A brilliant career cut short if there ever was one.

I wonder if the pretty blonde dental technician from West Point at r23 didn't get any whistles or catcalls on her entrance because her Private 1st Class uniform intimidated the wolves in the audience. She was certainly more attractive than most contestants.

Judy Holliday is also in the episode with Toni West and I think tries to parody Toni's sexiness. Big mistake!

The space airman is kind of cute in this other Judy Holliday episode.

Dorothy and Arlene both stood for Norman Vincent Peale as he exited. Did he write How to Make Friends and Influence People? Was that the title?
Did Toni West go on to perform in show biz? She was quite adorable.
Lots of dick jokes later in the segment with the bell hop.

No, dear. That was Dale Carnegie.

I hate it when the camera stays on John Charles Daly rather than showing us someone exiting via the panel. And I hope whoever decided to insert that Look magazine ad during the exit of Dr. Norman Vincent was FIRED.
