Bette Davis on 'To Tell The Truth'

[skybart]

"For whom did you vote?" Back in the day when correct grammar was used...

[amuslima99]

Orson Bean always would draw something on his card beside his number.

[amuslima99]

It was easy to detect Bette as No. 3. The other impersonators were terrible. I've never known Kaye Ballard to be an impersonator.

[mnorth1964]

What a gem. Thank you for sharing this.

[edia05]

Hahahaha! The laugh after she says "its none of your business was sooo hilarious that made me laugh more than the whole thing!! Lol!!!!

[catholicpriest1]

Orson Bean is now 82 and Kaye Ballard is 85. The rest are deceased.

[chilvari]

none of you business lmfao!!!! TV was so good back in those days!

[xtinaandravenfan]

"i'm sorry can you repeat that again?"

"none of your business"

HAHAHA

[xenafan234]

Kay Ballard was so under rated, she was awsome!

[mavivirgie]

@xenafan234 YES SHE WAS WASNT SHE IN THE MOTHERS IN LAW

[xenafan234]

@mavivirgie Yes she was on the Mothers In Law and that was a funny Show!

[mavivirgie]

@xenafan234 yes it was i wish it was on dvd maybe one day

[safehaven11]

I was laughing at "It's none of your business.

[LexiixoxRoxx]

I'd have been able to tell easily, but the imposters were pretty good.

[davidesk]

I adore Kaye Ballard!

[nezpercenathan]

@davidesk Do you remember what the show was that she was on with Eve Arden? Good show, but I don't think it ran very long.

[Gnillob802]

@nezpercenathan THE MOTHERS-IN-LAW complete series is available on DVD (box set includes both seasons) and became the best selling classic TV show for 2010 so far. It was produced and directed by Desi Arnaz (it was basically a rehash of I Love Lucy).

[nezpercenathan]

@Gnillob802 Thanks! I am not surprised it is a best selling show in its category.

[davidesk]

@nezpercenathan That was the Mothers-In-Law, produced by Desi Arnaz.

[kennyrocksable]

Rachel is right. This was broadcast in color at the time, but of course here u get the B&W kinescope (i can tell it was in color because of the brightness in the kinescope).

[Syl1969]

This had to be in the 50s. I remember watching this show all the time with my grandmother.

[rachelazw]

I can tell by their hairstyles, this is from the 60s. I would guess 1966.

[rachelazw]

And I was right! I just Googled this. It was broadcast December 12, 1966.

[CarlyIsAGangster]

What year is this?

[Syl1969]

Had to be in the 50s

[CarlyIsAGangster]

Well that doesn't really give a specific year.

I was assuming the 50's.

But thanks anyways.

[Moondancer883]

It's none of your business! hahahhahaa

[Geostrum2]

Everyone on this panel is dead!

[dodginraindrops]

LOL thats awful but it made me giggle so ur awesome

[Drivermatic]

As with Mark Twain. The death of Orsen Bean has been great exagerated. He is still alive, well and acting in films.

[xenafan234]

@Drivermatic He has a re occoring role on The Desperate Housewives.

[CarlyIsAGangster]

That was hilarious.

[bdavis4life]

Kaye Ballard was fantastic!!

[je3rowe]

What great fun those shows must have been! I wish there were more of them around today! But it was a simpler time then so I guess we don't go for those shows as much now. :( Gotta love Bette!

[Gnillob802]

Kaye Ballard, LOL. Didn't know she did impressions, she was so funny, probably a little too funny. Of course Bette Davis got the tough questions right so this shouldn't have been too hard. Knowing which film that particular line came from was tough. Kitty was a moron for not knowing which contestant gave the right answer for clams.

[Muffy2314]

Loved Kitty Carlisle.

[robinashleylovesyou]

Tom Poston was so adorable in this clip!!! Thanks for posting!!

[jimmers205]

ummm...

HOW THE HELL DID THEY NOT KNOW WHO BETTE DAVIS WAS!?!?

[SlamminElla]

The three of them were hidden. They could only HEAR them.

[wmbrown6]

Wasn't there a similar setup on the Nov. 8, 1965 daytime edition of "TTTT" when Joan Crawford appeared, and Arlene Francis and Dorothy Kilgallen (in what proved to be her last TV appearance, taped in advance and aired only a few hours after she was found dead) were the impostors?

[4MaryAnna]

#2 was terrible

[Prilpril21]

Gee I wish I could mimic her voice!

[soulierinvestments]

Thanx for posting this. I actually remember seeing this on CBS as a ten-year-old boy. It is interesting to see how my memory operates. I remember the curtain. I remember the lobster question, but my memory held that Bette answered that question. (Apparently Ms. Carlyle had the same mixup.) I remember the "none of your business" line, but again I remembered Bette saying it, not Kaye Ballard. I complete forgot that Kaye Ballard was involved in this amusing gimmick.

[bethanys93]

Looooove it!

[k8nairne]

This frickin' rocks!!

[bhamdodger]

Thanks for uploading this. One small correction,

her name is spelled Bette.

[gymnastix]

Apparently, this Tube channel operator heeded your advice, because Miss Davis' given name is now spelled correctly.

By the way, it was also because of Davis spelling her name as she did that Bette Midler was named as she was. Supposedly, Midler's mother was a Davis fan.

So, it's "Betty Boop, Ford, Grable, Rubble & White," but the "best Bette's" are "Davis" & "Midler," alright?
