Like many of you, I never knew Dorothy Kilgallen, John Daly or Arlene Francis before these "What's My Line?" clips and now they are like family. The show sparkles with warmth, intelligence, civility and good fun!

Love dorothy kilgallen a brave and courageous lady whose life was taken by those who refused to let the truth be written

Just kinda want to reiterate something that often gets lost when it comes to the panel's feelings on Dorothy. They adored her and loved her, like family. She was an incredibly sweet person, though troubled. The family of WML did however feel need to later on put a little distance between themselves and Dorothy, because of the gossip tidbits that Dorothy would write-up. They all admired her journalistic work on newsworthy stories, but there was a shift in her writing. That's where the panel had to put up a thin wall. But they loved her genuinely. Arlene noted on the evening they finished WML taping, the night Dorothy died, it was the first night EVER in the 15 years of Sunday's that Dorothy did not kiss her goodnight on the cheek. That stayed with her. These folks were family in every sense of the word.

Interesting that Debbie Reynolds, not one of the regular panel members, still managed to come up with the identity-revealing question. Smart lady! As for Dorothy, she was always my favorite on the panel. But in this episode, appearing as a nervous mystery guest still recovering from illness-Dorothy was extra endearing. How I miss the people on this show.

Fascinating woman who seems forgotten about now. It's a shame. She was a trailblazer in many ways. They should do a movie on her life.

Dorothy has always been my favorite panelist. Classy, elegant and whip smart.

I never would have believed that people would be talking about Dorothy in the 21st century. In fact, I didn't know for certain I would still be here. But thanks to technology, and thanks to my life-saving double bypass , all of that is possible.

I'd never heard of Dorothy Kilgallen until I started watching this channel. From the months I've been viewing and reading the comments, I've received quite a media history lesson on her. Thank you. What a fascinating figure. From what I've gleaned from the comments and history snippets, she had the touch of Capote in her, no? Meaning, once you start dishing about your friends in print, the relationship dynamics change. I'm gonna read up on her now.

She died young because she was about to expose some truth. She was courageous, smart, and dedicated.

Poor Dorothy did look under the weather there. And Arlene was so gracious to stand up while greeting her. I hope she got her well-deserved rest in Florida.

Dorothy Kilgallen got quite the reception! I liked how she acknowledged the audience at the end.

RIP Dorothy Kilgallen 1913-1965.

Dorothy was so smart, elegant, and dainty. Not to mention so pretty! I absolutely love her!

OMG...This made me cry a little...why'd it do that? I dunno the details of Ms. Dorothy's illness, but it felt very much like a homecoming for her- especially when Arlene refers to her as "my dear girl." And it's probably the most vulnerable we've ever seen her- demure, sweet, and genuinely nervous- I think she tells Arlene she's scared to death, while holding on to the calming Mr. Daly. Welcome home, Dottie.

I just love these episodes, can’t get enough of them! I feel

"Yes, and you might even SING for us, Dorothy!" lol - Arlene (as always, SUCH wit from Our Ms. Francis) 🌺🌲🌳🌳🌲

I like how Arlene showed some interest in Dorothy's well being. Like saying "my dear girl, how are you?" and saying "we're so glad to see you" In one clip somewhere, a poster had thought Dorothy had low-self esteem. I think she had a bit of low-self esteem especially with talk of her and Johnnie Ray, like maybe she thought no one cared about her except him. I wonder what her kids thought around that time. It was nice to see that Arlene showed that she was concerned for her.

Lovely surprise to see this out there……. Dorothy is my favourite on the show…… may she rest in peace….. Arlene Francis too…..

i love the way the panel says goodnight at the end of each show so sweet :)

So many secrets about her death and her life at that time. Amazing lady who died trying to report REAL NEWS
