I’m fed up with people saying a panelist is cheating. They often recognize the voice of the mystery guest. Read Gil Fates book about the show and see what he says about avoiding cheating.

Aliza is so beautiful and charming!

It was killing me whose voice sounded so close to that of Ms. Kashi's, but it finally came to me. If you listen to an interview she gave when roughly the same age (about five years difference), Claudia Cardinale's intonation is strikingly similar, at least to my ear. I couldn't place the movie of hers which was ringing in my head, but after keeping things quiet for a while, I remembered it was hearing her in The Red Tent that sparked the connection, FWIW.

Aliza had to have seen Abby Lane backstage. No way she knew who it was that fast.

Steve Allen acts as if he learned Aliza's name phonetically.

Funny that Abbe Lane is supposed to have given herself away to Kashi because she answered "sì", which is (also) spanish. Unfortunately her whole slightly articulate answer to Allen's question ("Si puo dire sì ma due risposte" - "You can say yes but two answers") was in rough italian and "sì", the only common word in spanish and italian she used. She meant to mislead the panel, letting them assume she was not from a spanish-speaking country, knoiwing that her english accent would have given her away. So she got caught for the wrong reason.

Mrs. Mildred Hughes did a quick hand shake there. Making sure Mr. Daly didn't hold her hand like he generally does with the contestants. Even holding the elbows of male contestants sometimes. She had a certain aire about her. Interesting.

I have SO never heard of Aliza Kashi. Was Suzy or Phyllis or Sue or Jeanne Parr all not available that night? I guess she is amusing in a Zsa Zsa sorta way. True, she solved a game. However -- it should have been obvious by 1967 that English skills were necessary to play this game.

soulierinvestments Aliza (the American-born twin sister of Rula Lenska) was, shortly after her birth, stolen away (from the soft and dark coziness of a warm incubator) and raised in Egypt - in the shadow of the great Pyramid at Giza. (This fully stirred her passions - or something...whatever!) Anyway, our girl eventually made her way back to the US, and her love of music and singing led her to her first dream job - penning songs for the Beany and Cecil cartoon show in the early 1960's (Do you recall "Ragmop.") Well, the rest (as they say) was history and here she is on the very popular WML show - living the dream in glorious black-and-white. Cheers! ;-)

Her English skills weren’t great, so there may have been subtleties to the game she didn’t quite understand. She didn’t understand the expression “do them in,” as she was asking, and it’s terrible that no one explained it to her. Then again, it bothered me that John Daly used it so loosely, while the panelists clearly were thinking of it as meaning killing something or someone. I thought he should have been more emphatic about the broader application of the term.

Aliza Kashi, the female Wally Cox of WML guest panelists! And even when she manages to redeem herself by nailing Abbe ahead of everyone else, no one bothered to tell her how bad form it was to guess the Mystery Guest so quickly! (but then Abbe setting her straight about the fact that she's from Brooklyn at least negated her "brilliance" on that point).
