Louis Jourdan on "What's My Line?"

[banner74]

Dr. Anton Arcane,or to others Count Dracula,himself.

[ShawDAMAN]

awesome voice disguise. he sounded like fred macmurray with hints of french and british lol

[meloveicecream24]

hes so hot

[rickw1100]

This wonderful actor even now in his senior years sweats class, sophistication, and cool sexy. One of my all time favorites. Thank you for posting this program. Loved it!

[IluvKenji]

lol he is so funny

[Richard40171]

I love his "Waltz at Maxim's" in GIGI ("She's so gay tonight," etc. when "gay" meant something else).

[stickstr8up]

Damn...He was HOT!

[mistressofaminer]

Handsome,suave and debonair for ninety years. Born 1921.

[Lee05211]

Terrific actor and very handsome. I saw him in Gigi on stage in Toronto 20 years ago and he was fabulous.

[lorrainewands]

"a few little things give you away". it's so interesting that we instinctively know when there is a foreigner in our midsts, however well they disguise their accent, even to the extent of locating geographically their origin. I love the human mind!

[ashleyg325]

HE IS SO CUTE.

[malcocreative]

I've watched everything you put up and Louis Jourdan is one of my favorite clips. His 'American' accent is priceless! jrs

[MOGGS1942]

I'm a man,and I think Louis Jourdan is terrific. If I were a woman,I'd want to have his babies.

[abakusek]

OMG, Louis is one of the most underrated and one of the sexiest actors ever! I'm so happy he's still alive!

[kittyvarina]

Every time I see him ask for Gig's hand in marriage I cry -- he was a dream!

[hemantram]

Loved Mr.Louis since he played Dracula. God Bless you Sir

[MissLoveSoup]

Louis Jourdan Rocks xox .

[juicyXD]

I think he was my first actor crush. Love "Gigi"...

[PatricianBeauty]

he is so darn cute putting on the accent lolol XD

[hedwigkiesler]

gosh, he was really hot...

[hkk321]

Who did Lewis think he was? A French actor popular with the bobbysoxers who was married to an American actress? I'm blanking.

[SOLE2SOUL]

This is the era when Arlene and especially Dorothy wore masks that looked like they were made from leftover brassieres.

[monelleny]

Louis Jourdan was a crack croquet player.  I am looking for video of him playing, but thanks for this!

[MissLizaMay]

He did a spectacular job disguising that accent! Louis, Je t'aime!

[ShawDAMAN]

Arlene was surprisinlgy close on her free guess there with the santa teacher ;p

[ShawDAMAN]

He sounds like Burt Lancaster a bit in spots lol

[charmainetanmingxia]

I was wondering if anyone has posted a video of Louis Jourdan on WML in 1964. I don't think it's as a guest panelist but as a mystery guest for a 2nd time

[senoramariposa]

Somewhere on YT there is a clip of Louis Jourdan on the WML panel. Wish I could remember which one it was.

[VonCringe]

Well I tried to post a link to one of Louis' guest panelist appearances, but it doesn't seem to have taken. Do a YouTube search on: what's my line McClellan. Senator McClellan was the mystery guest on one of Jourdan's panelist appearances - the one in 1955.

[cameronboy18]

I know him from Octopussy- he's fantastic as Kamal Khan.

[senoramariposa]

I wish I could find the clip where Louis Jourdan was one of the panelists.

[Ezhuks]

Wow, up until I've checked the Wikipedia to see if he's really French, I would never thought that! Great job on that accent.

[Kuchlenz]

Actually, Louis Jourdan was born in 1921 - despite what Wikipedia says. That would make him 88 (until June 19, 2010).

I have irrefutable proof.

[92af]

No most websites including imdb says 1919

[Kuchlenz]

Well, feel free to believe everything you read on the internet. 'Most' websites are repeating the same bad information.

A simple perusal of his past interviews via google news would confirm 1921. Google "People Magazine Louis Jourdan" An article, from January 14, 1985, says he was, at the time, 63. A man born in June, 1921 would have been 63 in January, 1985. This repeats itself in all his interviews.

BTW, when I said 'irrefutable' proof, I meant documents by the man's own hand.

[92af]

Louis Jourdan is still alive at the age of 90 years old

[nurula007]

hey, do u have the clips of the 2 contestants that show up prior to louis jourdan? if u do, could u post it up?

[roots66]

Sorry, I think I only saved Louis' clip.

[Lava1964]

He disguised his French accent very well indeed! Great job!

[satin3charm]

I would really love to see the play - The Immoralist - because the book is one of my favorites!

[satin3charm]

Lol! At first, he sounds like Gary Cooper. :D

[romeman01]

John slipped up here. At 3.06, Rbt Q. Lewis asked: "Are you American?", to which the answer was (indirectly stated to be) no, but Daly let Robert continue on.

[Kuchlenz]

Ohhhh, I love Louis Jourdan!

[soulierinvestments]

Charles Howard ran one of the more famous Santa Claus schools of his time.  See Wikipedia.

[AAMLfan]

Someone that the who would be very excited about?

Could someone help me with the question at 3:50 please?

[torchkit]

@AAMLfan "is this someone that the 'bobbysoxers' might be very excited about?"

"Bobbysoxers" was a 1950's term for teenage girls.

Basically, Robert was asking if Mr. Jourdan's fan base was old or young.

[AAMLfan]

@torchkit

...and whether or not he was a hottie, I'm assuming. ;)

Thanks for explaining this 50s jargon to me, torchkit! Much appreciated! :)

[schwarzeprinzessin]

Louis Jourdan, a great person and actor

[AAMLfan]

@schwarzeprinzessin Not to mention incredibly handsome and classy. *swoon*

[satin3charm]

I agree!

[bigred997]

this is one of the top 3 fake accents on this show of the few hundred that i've seen. nicely done.

[wmlfan9]

Alas, I wanted to see the segment with the man who runs the Santa Claus school.

[roots66]

Sorry, I didn't save the quiz portion--I must have been more knocked out by Dorothy's near-guess than with the Q&A at the time.

[romeman01]

Excellent. To see why they were astounded at his "American voice," an astonishment I shared, see watch?v=PIJobPF6YqY . There also used to be a clip on Youtube of Gene Kelly as the mystery guest and on that occasion as well Louis Jordan was a panelist.

[63utuber]

"Are you American?" - John rarely misses a chance to give a "no".

[63utuber]

Yet another example of D.K.'s astonishing intuition - in regards to Mr. Howard.

[63utuber]

Let's see more of that test driver!

[roots66]

I didn't save her whole segment...sometimes a lady's walk-on is more interesting than the quiz itself and that probably was the case here.

[wmlfan9]

Wow, I (like everyone else) never would have thought that a Frenchman could sound so American - and a rather hick American at that.

[hugh0221]

Why don't you hear to Juliette Binoche's?

She's one of the best examples of French actresses who speak English with American accent.
