This is December 1964. Less than a year later, on 2 November 1965, Joan appeared disguised and taped a broadcast for the weekday "To Tell the Truth" in which Arlene and Dorothy appeared disguised as the imposter Joans. By some gruesome coincidence, CBS broadcast that episode the afternoon after Dorothy Kilgallen died. You would think G-T should have preserved that videotape -- but if they did, it has yet to surface.
@soulierinvestments I think the episode may survive at the Paley Center for Media in NYC and LA (it may be undated in the Museum's database, however).
Feb 1965: Arlene's comment to the second contestant either being associated with pianos or birds refers to Borge's cornish hen business. In fact there is in YouTubia a WML clip where he appears as a cornish game hen raiser.
21:30 During Arlene's praises Joan looks as though she about to burst into tears.
Notice that when Arlene Francis says, "oui, oui, wine," and the audience laughs, she does not get carried away with some gross connotation. Classy! Well done.
No, Mr. Borge, I've never seen liquid asparagus. :)

I don't know, Joan Crawford is certainly not the most engaging of alle movie stars. She has a cruel draw to her mouth.

Exactly how I imagined her handwriting would be. Big, for ego, but somewhat closed and looped for secrecy.

I admit I had to think about it. Now I get it - "A plague on both your houses".
