Burlesque!... I would have rather seen her do HER act.

The Houdini answer was too simplistic (and speculative), something anyone could have answered, a true escape artist would have known and said ruptured appendix. That's when I crossed her off my list, though I did agree she looked the part. Oddly enough she reminded me of Ann Miller which wasn't too far off.

Why couldn't you edit out the commercials before posting this?

Does anyone know WHEN this was filmed? Amazing...FYI Celeste Evan's daughter looks just like her.

Between 1956 and 1959. This was before Tom Poston had become a regular. Sometime in 1960, the show moved to a different theater where the panel was on the left of the stage.

For a while, I thought this was an audition for a stunt on "Beat The Clock."

Kitty Carlisle and Arlene Francis remind me of one another... Maybe it's the almost necessary comparison between What's My Line? and To Tell the Truth.
