That's a pretty kooky hairstyle, which I'm amused to see was the source of an unintentional laugh for everybody except the blindfolded panelists, who didn't get the joke.
How I love Lillian Roth from her 30s films--I've never before seen her in later life--wow! She retained her beauty and charm! And after a heck of a lot of personal pain(I've never watched the film based on her but of course have read about it). Thanks so much for this!
Everyone should read her autobiography & sequel "Beyond My Worth".
I re-read it regularly for the vivid TRIP back into the most fascinating time in NY Theatrical history & the entertainment world & as much for the inspiration & riveting story so detailed you'll never remember it enough in just a couple of reads.
The film, about my all time favorite with one of my top 5 fav Actresses in the performance of her career left out SO MUCH! You can't imagine what they had to leave out!
Show was done January 27, 1957, and Lillian Roth was the second mystery guest of the night (the first being Salvadore Dali). My source does not reveal whether the panel guessed it was Lillian Roth.
I wish you much sucess,since it's a life long battle.I did it,and have been sober for over 23 years.Sometimes it's better to have strangers help you,instead of friends and family,since they're alittle too close to the issue at hand,and have personal problems of their own stemming from your drinking.
Lillian Roth was one of the top stars of the 1930's. Susan Hayward turned in a wonderful performance in the movie of Ms. Roth's life - "I'll Cry Tomorrow". They don't make movies like that any more. I as fortunate to have had the pleasure of meeting and corresponding with Ms. Roth in the 1950's and she was down to earth and gracious as she was talented.

"Come Up And See Me Sometime" She is just wonderful.

There is an excellent movie about her called I'LL CRY TOMORROW. Roth is played by Susan Hayward and it also stars Eddie Albert.
