Gospel great Mahalia Jackson seldom sang in films but was simply heart-wrenching in her rendition of "Trouble of the World" during the funeral sequence of the 1959 remake of "Imitation of Life" starring Lana Turner, Sandra Dee, Susan Kohner, John Gavin and Juanita Moore. Utter goose bumps it gave me.

Some of the most pleasant and complimentary people ever to live turned out to be mass murderers or massive fraudsters. Nixon is considered by some to be one of the worst presidents of all time, which of course he wasn’t, but even those who despise him now thought he was a great person at one time because of his niceties but his recordings show niceties in public mean nothing. Same goes for Cerf

Lorna Badeo One of the things that I appreciate the most about those days is that ignorant people (in lack of a better way to put it), didn't have a platform (social networks today) to babble on, and television most certainly didn't provide that either, therefore, generally speaking, there is a BS free energy about those days. In other words you weren't predisposed to sort of having your mind loitered as you are nowadays. P.S. Might I add that I'm 19. I just went through what I wrote and it felt rather old, so just for the record.

She passed away just prior to social media, like KZread, and I doubt she could have foreseen a day when young people (and I'm not counting myself!) would be watching her and discussing how incredibly cool she was!

Gosh I love Ella Fitzgerald, who appeared on this show in 1962, and Mahalia Jackson. What gifted women, role models, and vocalists. Check out how graciously they answer questions like "are you performing on Broadway or at the Waldorf or Savoy?" At the time, those were probably not places that black vocalists would be booked at. Of course, Jackson was the premier gospel singer in the world, so she wouldn't be at any club to begin with.

According to Wikipedia: "In 1956, Means started her career working as a reporter for the Dakota County Star; . . . . She then moved to the Washington, D.C., area in 1957, and took a new position as the Woman's editor for the Northern Virginia Sun in Arlington, Virginia, where she supervised a staff of 15 men for two years. Means moved to Hearst Newspapers in 1959, and became the group's Washington bureau correspondent, covering Capitol Hill and politics. The next year, she was assigned to presidential conventions and John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign. Her journalism career was advanced when she escorted Kennedy and wrote about him and his speechwriter Theodore C. Sorensen visiting Nebraska University. After Kennedy was elected president, he suggested Means be assigned to cover the White House full-time." That last sentence makes me say "Hmm."

Thanks for the link. Interestingly, this show features two out of the three people who were ever both a regular contestant and afterward a panelist: Marianne Means but also Gov. Quinn, who'd been a contestant on 7/13/58. The third was weathercaster Jeanne Parr (Chris Noth's mother) who was a contestant on 6/5/60 and a panelist on 3/13/66.

Mahalia was accorded and treated with dignity and respect. But come on!

God did some wonderful things in her life! She became main stream without compromise! It makes me sad for people like Whitney Houston who God also called and gave a great voice for His glory. They tried so hard to get Ms. Jackson to sing secular music but she refused not just imagine where Whitney would be today if she would have answered the call.

She had a gallery in Palm Beach in the 70s and 80s, and is basically a Romantic Artist who goes for the nostalgic echo of bygone etceteras. I am glad many (other) people like it!

Of course, Jackson was the premier gospel singer in the world, so she wouldn't be at any club to begin with.

Arlene asked in jest why John wasn't working at the white house in the contestant's job - ironic thing was that he was a correspondent during FDR's administration. :D
Daly and Qinn were there for Kennedy's inaugural! How cool is that? Also they couldn't bring themselves to guess a non-sexist vocation for the White House correspondent.
Marianne Means, the first contestant, had quite a story to tell. She was, indeed, one of the first women White House news correspondents. She had a long and distinguished career. She was also rumored to have had an affair with JFK. She may be most known for the image of her standing outside of Parkland Hospital in Dallas, holding her reporter's notebook, looking stunned with the rest of the crowd awaiting word on the condition of the dying President.

I thought I recognized her for that. What a distressing demeanor then, compared to this appearance three years on WML.
According to Wikipedia: "In 1956, Means started her career working as a reporter for the Dakota County Star; . . . . She then moved to the Washington, D.C., area in 1957, and took a new position as the Woman's editor for the Northern Virginia Sun in Arlington, Virginia, where she supervised a staff of 15 men for two years. Means moved to Hearst Newspapers in 1959, and became the group's Washington bureau correspondent, covering Capitol Hill and politics. The next year, she was assigned to presidential conventions and John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign. Her journalism career was advanced when she escorted Kennedy and wrote about him and his speechwriter Theodore C. Sorensen visiting Nebraska University. After Kennedy was elected president, he suggested Means be assigned to cover the White House full-time." That last sentence makes me say "Hmm."
I remember that gala for Kennedy. I was 2 years old.

Thanks for the link. Interestingly, this show features two out of the three people who were ever both a regular contestant and afterward a panelist: Marianne Means but also Gov. Quinn, who'd been a contestant on 7/13/58. The third was weathercaster Jeanne Parr (Chris Noth's mother) who was a contestant on 6/5/60 and a panelist on 3/13/66.
Mahalia was accorded and treated with dignity and respect. But come on! This was the trademark of WHAT'S MY LINE? - and one of the reasons why I love the show, both the original and syndicated versions No matter who the contestant was, one and all were treated as human beings by host, panelists and audience...

Reality often was more racially harmonious than Hollywood movies and other dividers want us all to believe.

God did some wonderful things in her life! She became main stream without compromise! It makes me sad for people like Whitney Houston who God also called and gave a great voice for His glory. They tried so hard to get Ms. Jackson to sing secular music but she refused not just imagine where Whitney would be today if she would have answered the call.

The way they told Mahalia Jackson to stop singing so big too because yt ppl wouldn’t love it. Can’t stand respectability politics and anti-Blackness.
RIP Marianne Means 1934-2017

+TeriAnneBeauchamp Bennett Cerf says at the beginning of the show that Dorothy, while covering the inauguaration of JFK, Dorothy became "incapacitated" and had to be hospitalized.
John Daly was was a world class qualifier
Interesting that Dorothy was not present at this show after JFK's inauguration. Her passing several years later was rumored to be connected to JFK's death.
Mother Mahalia Jackson looks so beautiful!!!
Gee Bennett gets an attitude when he doesn’t guess the occupation.
I might not be as old-fashioned as I thought I was! I find it interesting how the panel reacted when they were told Ms Means was a White House reporter! And having the inaugural Governor of Hawai'i on the panel? John Daly addressed him as "Your Excellency" when, if anything, "Your Honor" would have been the correct honorific.
I'm in the UK and many words are pronounced so differently here than in America! Along with aluminium Nd buoy as examples, I can now add in gala...😂
Mahalia was an incredible lady.
Such a beautiful woman.
So Mrs. Trester is (was) both a mink farmer and an artist (Really, it sounds like the mink was more her husband Fred's thing.) She went to school for the art (University of Wisconsin, and also Layton School of Art), and her art shows up on eBay a lot. She had a gallery in Palm Beach in the 70s and 80s, and is basically a Romantic Artist who goes for the nostalgic echo of bygone etceteras. I am glad many (other) people like it!
Kennedy has 3 more years of life left and no clue. Same thing with Dorothy. So sad.
