Mrs. Roosevelt was one of the brightest figures of the 20th century - she stood tall and proud in her own right. One of the true legends in American political history!
As a person born with cerebral palsy and having been confined to a wheelchair practically since birth, I was very choked up after watching this. I will never, ever forget what she and her husband did not only for our country, but for those with disabilities; the rest of the world shouldn't forget, either.
I Absolutely ADORE and LOVE Eleanor Roosevelt !! This world needs her desperately , This country needs her too for her Light and Caring and Guidance ...RIP ...xoxo
i am someone who believes in national service, vigerous governemt action in time of need, and respecting our elected leaders. today the majority of americans are filled with greed and contempt for this country. FDR, mrs. roosevelt, harry truman, JFK and social minded people are demonised and reviled by those on the right who twist their memory and their intent to serve. a disgrace. we need more mrs. roosevelts in this world...god bless her and her husband.
People today listen to Ayn Rand and other egoists who believe greed is good and selfish pleasure is better than helping others which is the wrong attitude because in the long run, selfish hedonist attitudes corrupt people and cause this sense of me, me,me rather than we. We the people, not I the American citizen starts off in the Preamble.
We have unfortunately and I blame myself and others for allowing Corporate Socialist welfare to take over the world as well as the US of A. Corporate Socialism has killed jobs, killed the economy, destroyed lives and continues to cause turmoil everywhere. Our government is controlled by Federal Reserves and Banks and Big Business. This started before Ronald Reagan and the Republicans. Probably as early as the Carnegie Corporation.
FDR was not a socialist. Eugene Debs was. The New Deal was the best thing for American then and now. If it weren't for social security, the elderly in the great depression would not have survived. Also there were many great programs for americans such as the TVA and Army Corps of Engineers. I could go on. People today associate "welfare" and assistance with Socialism and they are dead wrong. There never has been Socialism in this country.
Actually, a minor correction ... Eleanor married her father's fifth cousin ... which would make Franklin Delano Roosevelt Eleanor's fifth cousin, one generation removed (not her fourth cousin). And her married name was not "Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt." This is a wonderful TV appearance by an amazing woman!
Eleanor Roosevelt's maiden name was Roosevelt. She married her fourth cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, hence her married name Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt.
@TheTubePortal No question in my mind that you are correct. NOW, consider that it is almost 60 years later, and look what we have to chose from in either gender and either party. Sad, isn't it? She was a remarkable woman. She would have made an outstanding president. I would have been honored to have voted for her.
@TheTubePortal And if I had been alive in the 1930 s / 1940 s I would campain and vote for the lady. NO DIS RESPECT to FDR but my two most favorite Roosevelts are Teddy and his niece Eleanore. Of course FDR did many good things for our country too.
@toober222 It blossomed beautifully into UNICEF working for children’s rights; so they don’t have to be subject to slave/child labor. Due in no small part of Mrs Roosevelt; UNICEF works for children’s survival & protection, under the Geneva Convention of Human Rights. I am sure you, Toober222 are as happy about this gracious woman’s legacy, as I am. Children chained to a weaving loom? I am sure you are as disgusted over this thought as I am. Thanks, my friend for posting such a question. Peace.
regarding John Daly repeating each question: From what I gather, the acoustics of the studio were extremely bad. Most guests and panels had to have questions and answers repeated.
@sarita423 WML wasn't done in a studio. It was done in a small theater in Grand Central Station until CBS switched to color in 1965. Then it was done in what is now the Ed Sullivan Theater on 52nd Street.
Of course the United States is a lot more diverse since then. The JFK-LBJ changes to the Immigration Laws saw to that. So many New Americans and Temporary Americans who visit their homeland evey six months!!
@SatchmoSings Obviously you do not know how Television works ..Mr. Daly had nothing to do with booking the guests ..that being said...He was a member and leaders of the American Enterprise Institute a Conservative Think tank. He was also married to Cheif Justice Earl Warren's daughter who was nominated by President Eisenhower..is that enough proof?
Did anyone notice that the entire panel stood up to shake hands with Mrs. Roosevelt as she took her leave? Talk about civility and manners. Those days are sorrowfully long gone.
@CEscates Great observation. I'll tell you what else is "sorrowfully gone," and that's the notion that "in one way or another almost every good citizen of this country is associated with politics."
I second that emotion! Well said & well put! I think they all stood up to shake her hand because she was such a beloved & highly admired person, one who selflessly dedicated her life to the betterment of the citizens of this nation and the world. Sad that good manners & civility are becoming things of the past, especially in politics.
I'm pretty sure if a former first lady were to appear on such a show today, the panel would stand up to shake the woman's hand. There are significant differences in civility and manners and sophistication between the eras, but you chose poorly in seeking an example.
@CEscates Well, she was actually accused of being a communist by, ahem, a large portion of folks on the right side of things while she did all these great things. So those days have always been, unfortunately. She was as loved as she was reviled. Did you know that she had to literally fight tooth and nail for a vegetable garden in the White House? She was "granted" an 8'x2' plot after much debate about how un-American she was being with her request in the media. Sound familiar?
I'm gald to see her newspaper articles referred to. My great uncle, Julio Garzon, was the editor who translated her articles for Spanish speaking newspapers. He's even referenced in her diary from 1948.
Back in the good old days when women would still do things like carrying a purse up on stage with her. Poor Mrs. Roosevelt. She had such a beautiful personality but was not so attractive on the outside.
i WISH I had been alive to know of people like this great lady. She helped to save Europe and all europeans should be very grateful to the Roosevelt's and to America of that era, when it was the greatest, most noble country ever known.
I don't think Mrs. Roosevelt would be too pleased with the U.N. today...a totally bureaucratic, often corrupt, organization that has no "teeth" in preventing war or human rights violations.
It was very rare for the ladies of the panel to stand for a guest. In fact, I don't recall them ever having done so. You can see by their actions how much they respected and honored Mrs. Roosevelt.
@CatMoves1 Proper etiquette dictates that men stand to shake hands regardless of whom they're shaking hands with; women rise only to shake hands with someone of higher social status.
Mr. Daly is so impressively noetic and well-spoken.. The majority of American audiences today would be incapable of understanding what was being discussed or why it was funny.
I think that perhaps culture and, more specifically moral standards are responsible for the rapid decline of comprehension in our country. The education system, while flawed, has not so much to do with a general lack of interest in certain pursuits as our entertainment-oriented, ammoral society.
boy do we ever need someone like fdr and eleanor now.
the jack asses running things now want to destroy everything they did. which was nothing less than build the greatest middle class this world has ever known. and now it's being destroyed by gutless corporate puppets.
@tomitstube Wow! And so true; there hasn't been a President that really cared about "Joe Schmoe" since JFK; thanks to FDR and "The New Deal" all boats were lifted equally in the post WWII boom years; this was only fair and it started to be gutted in the late 1960s (and in some cases, such as the electronics industry, ten years before).
@SatchmoSings ~ hear, hear. fdr and eleanor created the america that was envied around the world, they created the best living standard this country has ever known. then jfk, mlk, and rfk, were murdered, then conservs blamed carter even tho he had better job creation than any of the last 5 republicans. then the reagan revolution started to reverse it all and bush i think did irreparable damage. even clinton moved us further to the right. and obama is a paper tiger.
im 24 years old, have jus come across whats my line today and i find it very entertainin, great show, very professional hosts, guests and panelists, very gd show.
@carb122 I'm glad you have! 24 is not even visible in my rear view mirror(!)--but I am not old enough to have seen these live either. The civility--the conversational skill without pretentiousness (OK--Bennet WAS a name dropper--but a very accomplished man too) are such I think has passed away. I am delighted that some younger inquiring minds like yours draw enjoyment from it--speaks much for you! Let's hope in our 24/7 digital world we don't lose all of this kind of REAL chat!
@carb122 I'm 23 and I found it a few years back on Game show network 3:00 in the morning and laughed so hard. I LOVED recording it on the DVR and watching it when i got home around 5. What was so good about it to me was it was squeaky clean REAL entertainment. Everything didn't have to be dirty to be funny like it is now. Of course I start watching the show, and GSN stops showing it. I miss watching it. :(
@cubicleboy There were a few other times when the ladies would stand up. They stood up for Bishop Sheen and usually elderly women and gentlemen who appeared as contestants. People knew social protocol back then and showed respect.
@cubicleboy Arlene stood for Dorthy's dad too. Probably more out of respect for her colleague on the panel. Not that she didn't respect Dorthy's dad. I long for the days of finishing school. LOL My generation doesn't even know how to get out of a limo without showing the whole world your lady parts.
Great personalities .. but let me say that Mr. Daily was a very smart man .. look that drew views in the party. Communicators like him are missing in today's world. My compliments to Mr. Daily,
I love people from the 50s. to me they are like pokemon and i just have to catch them all. I really want to get a lvl 15 W.A.S.P. with gardening ability.
@CUNTservativesRDung Lol you are the idiot. Not because of her race but because of her attitude to things DOPE. Ms. Rooselvelt did a lot than Ms Obama who did only 2 things and they are planting a vegetable garden and telling people not to get fat. See what Ms Rooselvelt did while she was first lady and after. Research a little before you open your mouth DOPE and do not bring race into it.
@melollylolly why is elainebmack a racist? because she said mrs. roosevelt carried a handbag? she did say handbag and not handgun, so what's so racist about that?
@KnowWhatIThink i think melollylolly meant it for BigDogJang0. BigDogJang0 and elainebmack are right that eleanor was a classy lady and that english language was ruined because of desegregation and the PCness we have to follow in order not to offend black or other minorities. True that Ms Rooselvelt would be shocked if she saw the state of the country. She did work for civil rights for blacks, but she would be sad if she saw what they do now to the country with their race card crap.
@KnowWhatIThink melollylolly is stupid and one of the race card people Ms. rooselvelt would be proud to hit her on the head with her handbag to set her straight. She needs to get a life.
She smiled at 5:51, and was suddenly a completely different person sitting there.
What a wonderful and lovely and incredbile woman and American. I'm very fortunate that joanfontainefan posted this video. Thank you, j-f-fan.......very much.
@JCej You're right and you're wrong. The Roosevelts of late spelled it as you suggest, but the family name evolved from the Dutch "Rosenveld" to "Roosenvelt" and later, "Roosevelt".
Eleanor was actually a Roosevelt herself; she was born Anna Eleanor Roosevelt and was the niece of Theodore Roosevelt. She married her fifth cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
@moproducer Sorry, didnt mean to butt in, I am just delighted you knew Mrs Roosevelts real first name Anna after her mother. I love the Roosevelts in part because my mom has such regard for them, she was 4 when they first moved into the White House. Since then I find Anna Eleanore Roosevelt and Theodore Toosevelt to be the two people I would LOVE to have met just once, but I might have fainted from ezcitement.
@theblueangel28 Also, you couldn't expect Eleanor Roosevelt to do a squeaky voice, or a French accent, or the other funny stuff other mystery guests did. Whether you loved her or not- a lot of people did, many didn't- it wouldn't seem right.
I like Mr. Daly always so nice and polite and treating his guests with the dignity they deserve. If this was today it would just be some spotlight-stealing loudmouth making cheap jokes on her expense.
@cptfursten yes, indeed!!......refreshing to see a host who didn't consider himself the main attraction and didn't try to double as a stand-up comic......no school like the old school!!!
@n6611 the board with the guest's signature was always removed during the round. I don't know if they saved the ones for celebrities or if they just took the extra time to clean it up and put it back for the next guest.
Interesting, to me at least, that this is the only guest where the women panalists stand up to greet. I may have missed other guests where this was done, but it certainly is a bench-mark of the respect that they held her in.
@amberlovesapplepie09 hes says he will answer the few round of questions for her. He says the rules of the question in the beginning of the video :] .

@cubicleboy There were a few other times when the ladies would stand up. They stood up for Bishop Sheen and usually elderly women and gentlemen who appeared as contestants. People knew social protocol back then and showed respect.

@cubicleboy Arlene stood for Dorthy's dad too. Probably more out of respect for her colleague on the panel. Not that she didn't respect Dorthy's dad. I long for the days of finishing school. LOL My generation doesn't even know how to get out of a limo without showing the whole world your lady parts.

@CUNTservativesRDung Lol you are the idiot. Not because of her race but because of her attitude to things DOPE. Ms. Rooselvelt did a lot than Ms Obama who did only 2 things and they are planting a vegetable garden and telling people not to get fat. See what Ms Rooselvelt did while she was first lady and after. Research a little before you open your mouth DOPE and do not bring race into it.

@melollylolly why is elainebmack a racist? because she said mrs. roosevelt carried a handbag? she did say handbag and not handgun, so what's so racist about that?
KnowWhatIThink 10 months ago
@KnowWhatIThink i think melollylolly meant it for BigDogJang0. BigDogJang0 and elainebmack are right that eleanor was a classy lady and that english language was ruined because of desegregation and the PCness we have to follow in order not to offend black or other minorities. True that Ms Rooselvelt would be shocked if she saw the state of the country. She did work for civil rights for blacks, but she would be sad if she saw what they do now to the country with their race card crap.

@KnowWhatIThink melollylolly is stupid and one of the race card people Ms. rooselvelt would be proud to hit her on the head with her handbag to set her straight. She needs to get a life.

Dude, you spelled Eleanor Roosevelt's last name wrong :)
JCej 11 months ago 48
@JCej You're right and you're wrong. The Roosevelts of late spelled it as you suggest, but the family name evolved from the Dutch "Rosenveld" to "Roosenvelt" and later, "Roosevelt".
Eleanor was actually a Roosevelt herself; she was born Anna Eleanor Roosevelt and was the niece of Theodore Roosevelt. She married her fifth cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
moproducer 6 months ago
@moproducer Sorry, didnt mean to butt in, I am just delighted you knew Mrs Roosevelts real first name Anna after her mother. I love the Roosevelts in part because my mom has such regard for them, she was 4 when they first moved into the White House. Since then I find Anna Eleanore Roosevelt and Theodore Toosevelt to be the two people I would LOVE to have met just once, but I might have fainted from ezcitement.

@theblueangel28 Also, you couldn't expect Eleanor Roosevelt to do a squeaky voice, or a French accent, or the other funny stuff other mystery guests did. Whether you loved her or not- a lot of people did, many didn't- it wouldn't seem right.

@n6611 the board with the guest's signature was always removed during the round. I don't know if they saved the ones for celebrities or if they just took the extra time to clean it up and put it back for the next guest.

Interesting, to me at least, that this is the only guest where the women panalists stand up to greet. I may have missed other guests where this was done, but it certainly is a bench-mark of the respect that they held her in.
