Irene Ryan was an amazing actress. She was hilarious and absolutely perfect as Granny in the Beverly Hillbillies. 💕💕

Irene might have been loveable as an actress, but she wasn't the greatest at Password.

My dad -- Lee Vines -- was the announcer for this show. Cool to have these episodes on KZread!

Don't they all...

Wonderful to see these three Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas and Bob Crane on a great American game show that I had never seen before. I most certainly watched The Beverly Hillbillies and Hogans Heros as a kid growing up in New Zealand in the 1960s. I'm 63 this year, they were great days ~ gone by, never to be repeated.!!! I know that my Mum and Dad who have both gone now would have loved seeing this.

I think it was the time honestly. So many of the contestants were truly classy.

irene stole every scene in b hillbillys. awesome lady.

Those super slim ties have come back into style since the 60s.

Irene Ryan was only 7 days away from turning 64 here. Bob was 38 yrs. old

Granny cleans up well!

Look at the expression Bob has when the male contestant says he has three children ... Bob looks serious for a few seconds there ... He thought about his own children ... 🤔🤨❤️💙❤️☹️

the story goes that Max Baer Jr. (Jethro) was so nervous for his audition that Irene Ryan took him out to lunch and got him totally wasted and when he returned for the audition he was calm and delivered his reading perfectly and was hired on the spot

I love her sooo much . Miss her sooo much . I hope she knew how much she was love and adored

Granny was lovely

For some reason I expected her "real life" voice to be different. She looks more like a not too old aunt instead of a granny without her Hillbillies getup.

Thank you. I am enjoying these Password videos more than I can say. What a beautiful trip down Memory Lane.

Irene is an absolute delight. A classy dresser as well.

wow ! i would have never recognized "granny" when she's not dressed as granny

I've been watching Bob for a few shows now and he never really interacts with his contestant partner except when they do the clues...

Guy Williams and Irene Ryan seem to be very personable.

In this era, a clue for "woo" should have been "pitch" or "pitching." "Pitching woo" was a well-known idiom at that time.

This was one of the craziest episodes. I enjoyed this one a lot.........

How cool two shows I loved as a kid and here they are on a wonderful game show I don't remember hearing about on the day I was born 😃😅😃😅😃❣️

Mr., Vines was also announcer for a time on What's My Line .

I love irene Ryan's outfit! So chic!

What a JEM! Granny and Col. Hogan and Ellie Mae all on PASSWORD!

Password is one of my favorite game shows next to match game like Alan ludden

Allen immediately realized calling Irene "Granny" at the beginning was a misstep. He immediately made amends.

This episode was very strange. First of all, none of the players were very good. But more to the point, on the second half of the episode (and continuing on to the next day) you had three celebrities and only one non-celebrity. We know what would have happened if the non-celebrity won money. But it wasn't explained what would have happened to the winnings if Bob Crane and Donna Douglas's team won. Presumably it would have gone to charity, but either they didn't say it or it got cut out somewhere along the line. All in all a very strange set of circumstances and I began to wonder if somehow the non-celebrity woman that was supposed to go on had some sort of a physical problem or a terrible case of stage fright at the last minute and Donna Douglas was the only person who could go on at the last moment.

you'd think Ellie would have gotten 'purr' right away with all her critters.

She’s so sweet.

I'm really surprised that Donna and Mike didn't get the answer "purr" when Irene Ryan and Bob Crane said "cat" and "happy."

In the lightning round Crane gave “Woman” as a clue for angry. Interesting association.

Irene Ryan is unrecognizable out of character, but as soon as she opens her mouth, she's Granny.

Who is The Announcer on Password?

0:27 betty and tess in the audience!

1:22 Isn't exactly true about the cast of the Beverly Hillbillies getting along with each other. From what I understand Buddy Ebsen (Jed) and Nancy Kulp (Ms. Hathaway) despised each other off camera as Nancy was a candidate running for office (I forget the position) and Buddy was a strong supporter of her opponent.

Moustache? Schicklgruber! Hogan should have known this.

Danna Douglas is all dress up to her neck beside Bob.

Granny Clampett and Elly May
