    This is probably Barbara Feldon's second appearance on the show. On May 12, 1957, the Ziegfeld Girls were the first MG. Their "leader", or at least the one who was seated while the others stood behind her, was identified as Barbara Hall. That was Barbara Feldon's name at the time; she took the surname Feldon when she got married the following year. The resemblance between Barbara Hall and Barbara Feldon is striking, leading some of us to believe that they were one and the same.

But because the Ziegfeld Girls were treated as a mystery guest, it could be said that she wasn't a regular contestant. As for me, my long time love affair (alas, totally imaginary) with Barbara Feldon makes me want to believe that, because she wasn't THE mystery guest, she has the distinction of being the only person to be a regular contestant and later a panelist.

    As to your last comment: I thought that, too! But, according to her IMDB profile, apparently not. Her divorce from Lucien Verdoux-Feldon was finalized on 21 April 1967, and she wouldn't move in with Burt Nodella until the following year. By the way: She was also a big-money winner on "The $64,000 Question" back in 1957 - answering questions about Shakespeare.

    By this point in her life and career, Melina Mercouri was now married to American movie director Jules Dassin. Originally, Dassin was based here in America, and when he was based here in America, his most famous picture was the Noir classic "The Naked City", which inspired the TV show of the same name. But then he was blacklisted (not unlike Louis Untermeyer, former WML panelist), and he moved to Europe. In 1955, he met Melina Mercouri, and during his new career as an American filmmaker based in Europe, he continued to make criticially and commercially successful movies, most of which featured Mercouri, including "He Who Must Die","The Law", "Phaedra", "Topkapi", "10:30 P.M. Summer", "The Promise at Dawn", "A Dream of Passion", and, the most famous of all, "Never on Sunday". Mercouri married Dassin in 1966, a marriage that lasted until her death in 1994. Dassin died in 2008.

She was 34 then, celebrated her 89th this past Mar. 12 (2022). Hard to believe she was 32 when Get Smart premiered in Sep. 1965. She told TV Guide she was 24, with a 1941 birth year, but she fudged her age by 8 years, born in 1933. She still looked younger than 32 when GS premiered!

Though the war was huge news at the time, WML maintained its feel-good nature by not talking about it. I believe that was the right call: people watched this show (just as we do now) to be entertained. There were plenty of places to go to hear about unpleasant current events.

    She was a woman of many talents. Many Europeans probably associate her name with politics rather than entertainment. She was a notable figure in European politics for decades. She became politically engaged after the coup d'état in Greece, just a few weeks before this appearance on WML. When the military junta collapsed in 1974, she moved back to Greece to become a full time politician. She became a member of the Greek parliament in 1977, and held the position as minister of culture for many years, 1981-89 and again from 1993 until her death in 1994.

    What a bizarre episode! The whale trainer was said to deal in a product as well as a service ... but that's misleading because she wasn't selling or supplying whales to anyone, for instance raising them for other aquariums. Just because there is a physical item used in the service, that doesn't make it a product; otherwise we'd have to consider the soccer ball used by the last contestant a product. And how did John and Kelly Lange get away with giving "yes" answers to clothing and/or jewelry? Even if she wore something like a flight suit while in the helicopter for comfort or safety, that's so incidental to radio broadcasting as to be misleading with respect to the service. I intended to watch this episode to calm down after a rough day, but found myself so annoyed by these strange answers that it didn't have the intended effect.

    +Neil Midkiff I can let them slide on the first contestant vis a vis dealing in a product because it is consistent with how they presented similar situations in the past. I was also scratching my head during the second segment related to clothing and/or jewelry and there never was an explanation of what that meant. The only thing I could think of, and it would be extremely tangential was that the sponsor for the traffic reports was either a clothing store or a jewelry store. It turned out that the explanation was different. As part of the sexploitation novelty gimmick of two female helicopter traffic reporters (they were not the pilots), "Dawn and Eve O'Day" wore silver lamé jumpsuits. But it worked out well for Kelly Lange. She would become a co-anchor of the news at NBC's local station in L.A. Not bad for a fashion model who got on line at a shopping center thinking that they were giving something away. She was also the most frequent co-host of the Rose Bowl Parade (often with Michael Landon). According to TV Guide, she was the first local newscaster to be paid more than $1 million per year. Note: not the first female, the first male or female.

    +Neil Midkiff I could have chosen any long bridge with a large surface area to paint, but I used the Golden Gate because I remembered earlier posts that connected you with the Bay Area. I was using it only as an example of a project that once one gets to the end one immediately goes back to the beginning and starts over again. BTW, as one who began college as an engineering major with the intent of becoming a civil engineer with an emphasis on roads, rail systems and urban planning, I love bridges and marvel at the amazing engineering work that it took to build the Golden Gate, a bridge that many experts claimed would be impossible to build. I had the good fortune to cross it once, as part of a tour of SF in June 1981. I saw two other engineering marvels on that extended trip: the Pacific Coast Highway (CA Route 1) from SF to Santa Barbara and Hearst Castle in San Simeon.

    Except that Jules Dassin was American-born, and he spent World War II in Hollywood, directing "B" features at MGM. He was, indeed, Jewish (one of 8 children, I think). Heck, American operatic tenor Richard Tucker also went to Israel shortly after the end of the 6-Day War - and he sang near some of the "hottest" spots then, in fulfilling engagements which he had already been contracted to sing months before. They went to show solidarity with their fellow Jews; to me, that's the short of it.

    Melina Mercouri was already in the U.S. for the production of Ilya Darling when the Greek dictatorship began. She then began her activism. The colonels revoked her Greek citizenship and declared her persona non grata. It was not the reason she went to the U.S., but it was the reason she remained abroad - subsequently in France until the dictatorship ended in 1974.

She was known to slap people who disagreed with her on politics -- [;^>) something you sometimes wish Hilary Clinton or Diane Feinstein would do. About this time, Robert Kennedy was dithering over whether he should run for the Presidency opposing Lyndon Johnson. Melina and he found themselves attending the same function one night. She swept up to him and said, according to "The American Melodrama: the presidential campaign of 1968," "You don't want to be remembered as the man who waited too long, do you?" One way or another Kennedy DID wait too long.
