  • In the last few weeks, I've seen Arlene's trombone coach, the breeder of the Arlene Francis rose, Arlene's son, and now Arlene's co-stars... not that I'm complaining- can never get too much Arlene!

  • LOL. Would it be stating the obvious to say Arlene's my favorite? ;-)

  • It it just me or was Arlene Francis one if not THE classiest ladys on TV back in the 60's?? Warm, funny, gracious...what a wonderful lady she was. Thank you for posting this opportunity for her friends at WML to sort of proudly brag about her stagework. Sort of sweet, really.

  • How lovely it is to see the gentlemen rise automatically when Arlene stands to introduce her co-stars! : )

  • I remember this show, and I never imagined that I would see it again! Thank you for posting it!

  • I'm surprised that some of the cast members of Dinner At Eight crossed in front of Arlene after she introduced them. I always thought that was considered bad stage etiquette.

  • Okay I love Jayne Meadows and all but why does she look more like a man here? I'm not trying to be mean but in another video when she was first married to Steve she looked fantastic. Very beautiful but not now. Maybe it's her eyebrows. They look funny. Did she draw them on?

  • @IEnjoyHippies I must say I'm beginning to see what you mean about Steve and Arlene. I absolutely adore Martin and Arlene together of course but the pulling her chair out for her and then when she sits down again is just too cute.

  • an amusing side note.....Arlene was a "victim" in the 1932 "Murders In The Rue Morgue."

  • Walter Pidgeon played Oliver to Arlene's Carlotta, and there is a rather funny story about opening night in Arlene's book - she's asked by Edna Ferber (one of the writers) to ad-lib something at the last second, but things don't go as planned once she gets on stage with Pidgeon. (Ah, the spontaneity of live theater, and I know it well too!) If you can get ahold of her book and read about this, you will be LOL - great story!

  • HOW did Bennett think to say that on the first question

  • What a treat to see Miss Blanche Yurka!
