Star of "The Goldbergs" of the 1950s.

The attention given to Princess Margaret's wedding is sad in retrospect because it ended in divorce and she, the Queen's sister, being rumoured to have lots of affairs, drink and cigarettes. I never heard of her being called Princess Meg as in the caption. The baker who made the wedding cake came from Morecambe, a seaside resort in Lancashire that is often overshadowed by Blackpool to the south. Good for him to put Morecambe on the map!

John fixed Bennett in this one.

Usually WML did not indulge such obvious gimmicks as this one. The year before this gimmick, WML did a show of twos culminating with "The Sound of Music" children. Gil Fates's book on WML featured a chapter about "owls" -- WML jargon for new or minor entertainment celebrities not instantly recognizable. Fates gave as one of his owl examples Dick Van Dyke in the late 1950s when Goodson-Todman used him in some of its game shows. 2 years later he was instantly recognizable.

Dick Van Dyke did a good job too!
