Standard etiquette would have been for women to stand up for an older woman, but remain seated for a contemporary or younger woman--or for any man except a very old one. So the women panelists stay seated except for Ethel Barrymore, clearly a senior citizen, and for Gertrude Berg, who they just heard John say was a grandmother!

i believe that's the first time i've seen the girls stand up too. of course faye emerson precipitated the move, wonder if it would have happened with arlene there.

Delightful!

Yoo hoo, Mrs. Bloom.
It's me, Molly, Molly Goldberg.
Uncle David, Jake and Rosalie, too!
And Faye Emerson, who was one of the very first people to appear on television.
Like the Ed Sullivan Show, how fortunate we are that all of these great performers
were captured on film to still enjoy!

She was a genius. A writer, a producer, sometime a director, a great actress. She was a noted work addict and a great controller. Everything on every show and in every film of hers had to be right. After the Goldbergs show did a series on a grandmother going to college, the same college as one of her grandchildren (based on the film "Mother Was a Freshman"). She worked a lot on stage as well as film. She won many honors.

This had to have been way back in the 50s, with the ads for Stopette and Poof. Poof may have been the powder deoderent and Stop was the spray. As many years as The Goldbergs was on the radio Im surprised the panel did not guess her voice very quickly.

It is interesting how certain names stay around for numerous generations while others fade away quickly. I wonder what names cavemen and cavewomen called each other in their time. Then again, maybe it's better that I didn't know lol!

@Kind67 - I love these old names. Gertrude Berg. Can't say I've ever met anyone named Gertrude!
-
@Zeydez - I don't know who she is, but that's one of the great things about youtube. Learning this sort of social history and pop history.

Her actual name is Gertrude Berg, Molly was her character on her television show! And yes, I definitely remember her! She was great and really brought a positive portrayal of a Yiddishe maidel to the general public-- sort of like what Flip Wilson did later on for African Americans.
