1984 Let's Make a Deal

ALL-NEW LET’S MAKE A DEAL-October 1, 1984

gamespeopleplayed No Comments

FIRST DEALER: Debbie Martinez (devil woman)

Whisper a secret in Monty’s ear for $350. It’s her weight. Two gentlemen will guess at it.

Mark Chapman (Cookie Monster) and Jim Calvert (perfect gentleman)

Whoever guesses closest to this woman’s weight gets $400.
Jim: 120 lbs. Mark: 127
Actual Weight: 120 lbs. Jim wins! ($50 for Mark)

Back to Debbie, she can buy the Sunshine Big Box with that $350. It’s a sale for…A BUNCH OF CHICKS!!

What about Jim? What about Curtain #1? It starts with Kirsch Window Blinds (using Spilt Second ’72). Jim will trade the $400. Behind the blinds…a Broyhill Oak Bedroom W/Simmons Beautyrest Mattress ($2,353)

John and Diane Favela (him a baby nurse of Cabbage Patch Dolls, she a Playboy Bunny)

It’s the return of Monty’s old Cash Register. The Favelas could get up to $500 which in turn can buy a VW Rabbit 4 dr. ($9,490)

On the cash register, there are 15 buttons. 13 have money, either $50 or $100. The other two say No Sale. Pick money til you have $500 or No Sale takes it all away, or they stop with their winnings. (1-7 Top Row 8-15 Bottom, Both Left to Right)

Freebie #4 $50
8 $50
15 $50
7 $100
10 $50
5 $50 (She’s picking, he’s choosing, Diane went back and forth)
2 NO SALE!

Monty will let them pick one more button. If it’s cash, they leave with the cash. If it’s the other No Sale, they get $1,000.
#13 NO SALE!

It’s shopping time, where players earn money, not spend it. Up to $1,300 or DOUBLE!

Joanne McKamey (I Heart Monty shirt and sign) and Terri Cox (PJ’S and Teddy Bear)

$300 (Doubled if they get it right) Sanwa Ramen Soup (2.5 ounces)
Terri 69¢ Joanne 55¢
ARP 49¢ Joanne wins

$300 Again Dentu-Creme Toothpaste (3.9 ounce tube)
Joanne $1.79 Terri $1.70
ARP $1.89 Joanne again

Another 3 Hunnys True Value E-Z Kare (1 gal.)
Terri $15 Joanne $12.99
ARP $18.95 Terri’s on the board

$400 Ronson Kleenol Spot Remover
Joanne $1.59 Terri $2
$4.79 Terri wins, even though she missed it by a mile.

To review, Terri has $700 while Joanne has $100 less. Now it’s time to buy.
Joanne is offered the spotted big box and she’ll take it. Inside the box…a Speed Queen Washer/Dryer ($999.90) Terri can have Curtain #1 including a lot of No Nonsense Pantyhose. She’ll buy and gets…a Gibson Fridge, Dishwasher and Electric Range. ($1814.85) PERFECT DEAL!

ONE MORE TRADER: Joan Cockwist (Elvira)

Brian races to bring down a small box for Joan. There are two Minolta Talker 35mm cameras. Would she rather have the diamond Big Box instead. She keeps the cameras, but could’ve had…another fridge. This is a White-Westinghouse 22 cu. Ft. Refrigerator Freezer ($1,169.95) She’s sure there’s something more with the cameras. Joan won’t trade even for Curtain #3. She would’ve had His/Her…Old Fashioned Hatracks (Mooseheads).

The His/Her Camera boxes held…$1,500! 2nd PERFECT DEAL

RECAP:

Jim$2,353
Terri$1,814
Joan$1,500
John and Diane$1,000
Joanne$999
Mark$50
DebbieHERE A CHICK! THERE A CHICK!

BIG DEAL OF THE DAY: $8,184

Jim and Terri are in (before Terri, Joan stood up before Monty got to her just to say she’s keeping her stash). Jim is joined by a lady, Vicki Leland.

Another appearance of Monty’s Piggy Bank. Crack it open and we find…$444. A poor trade for Jim and Vicki

Our next reveal is Amelia Earhart Luggage, Cutex Nail Polish Remover, a Benrus Diamond Watch and Krementz White Gold Diamond Pendant ($1,930) A small improvement for Terri…if she’d picked it. How much better did she do?

First, there’s a KFC Gift Pack (for the husband). They’ll be having dinner in a Jules Seltzer Contemporary Dining Room. We’ll also through in a Sharp 19″ TV….and a check for $2,800 ($8,184)

Quickie Deals: Jack Lard, a Social Security Card for $50 and a question for another $200. He’s sure he’s got it, but Monty’s got no time for this. He goes looking for $100 for a Stamp from someone else.

Total Winnings: $12,177

1984 Let's Make a Deal

ALL-NEW LET’S MAKE A DEAL-September 25, 1984

gamespeopleplayed No Comments

Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings and Karen LaPierre

First, let’s walk by the audience section. A little youngster dressed as Peter Pan has never seen LMaD before.

This kid has been living in Mars for the last seven years.

Sayeth Big Dealer

FIRST DEALER: Pat Fisher (artist in yellow, “I’d Easely Make a Deal”)

She’s starting right off with $300, but we all know Monty can’t just stop at that. Like magic, there’s a pink envelope marked #1. Inside, all cash. It’s either double ($600) or just six bucks. Pat will keep her $300. The whole audience knew she made a mistake. Six crisp and clean Benjamins were in the pink one. Well, Monty has more magic…a blue #2 envelope. This time it’s double the $600 ($1,200) or $12. To further complicate this situation, Pat can also spend that $300 on Curtain #2. We know for sure there’s a KFC gift pack. “I’m going…I’m going…I’m going to…I’m going to” (Stuck on repeat) “…take the envelope” Behind the Colonel…LITTLE BO PEEP’S SHEEP

As for Envelope #2…it’s only 12…HUNDRED! PERFECT DEAL!

SECOND DEAL: Mary Christie (Olympian in a short red jumpsuit) and Debbie Tapie (waitress with a spill-proof tray, “The Happy Tapie”)

It’s a Head-to-Head matchup for $1,000 in cash. Just $700 will be enough to buy a Ford Escort 2 Dr. Hatchback ($6,559)

Rules are simple, the lady that bids closest to the ARP wins cash.

$100: Cortizone 5 Creme (1 oz.)
Mary $2.45 Debbie $1.59
ARP: $3.40 Mary wins

$200: Champale Extra Dry (4-pack)
Debbie $4.50 Mary $2.95
ARP: $3.15 Mary’s 2 for 2 (don’t lose your Olympic medals)

$300: Plasti-Kote Rust Not Enamel (1 qt.)
Mary $4.80 Debbie $5
ARP: $6.89 Debbie ties it up, someone’s gonna buy that Ford

$400: Cabbage Patch Kids Diapers (12)
Debbie: $3 Mary: $4
ARP: Three..Ninety-Nine MARY WINS!

Mary adds a bear hug that may have Monty going to the Chiropractor.  Must be a medalist in Gymnastics.

Debbie still has $300, so how about Curtain #3?  If she passes, Monty’ll add another $100 to her stash.  When she chooses the curtain, Monty offers to add $150…then $200 for $500.  Debbie sticks with the curtain and finds…Karen and Brian jet-setting in a boat.  They may be zonks, but the boat isn’t.  It’s a Godfrey Sea Rider Pontoon Boat. ($995) SECOND PERFECT DEAL!

Our next deal is in the bag. Brian is carrying a Crown Royal 2 pc. Luggage Set to share with…

Darcy Bradshaw (long-road trucker with ‘stache and Black Eye) and Barry Pietronico (New York Tourist)

Darcy gets the garment bag ($85), while Barry get the 22″ carry-on bag ($70) Barry’s first and looks impressed. Oh, should’ve mentioned there’s something inside. Well, will Barry still want to trade the bag in for Curtain #2? He”l trade and gives up the bag…and a Dicker & Dicker Davini Mink Jacket ($1,500) Instead, Barry takes home…A DO-IT-YOURSELF LAUNDROMAT (10 Washboard and Tubs)

No point for Darcy trading in for the washing boards. What about the spotted big box? She thinks the box is light as a feather. She thinks the box would be better. Well, no wonder…the bag was FULL OF FEATHERS!

In the big box…a KItchenAid Stand Mixer/Food Processor, Welbilt Electric Radiator and a Landes Silver Service (Total: $1,149.80)

This Deal just Tickles Me

BIG DEAL TIME: $7,449

Mary$6.559
Pat$1,200
Darcy$1,149
Debbie$995
BarrySCRUB-A-DUB-DOH!

Pat goes back and forth, but finally hands her cash back. Darcy is more decisive! Here’s a sneak peek!

It starts with Kirsch Window Blinds. Pat doesn’t take it…Darcy will! We first fully open…

“Gifts for my Lady” Bernardaud de Limoges Porcelain Dinnerware, a Norelco Hair Dryer and a Singer Sewing Machine and Menders. ($842.80) Good thing neither of these ladies chose that door. Pat’s selected #2 and we’ll open…

It’s a Broyhill Americana Oak Bedroom Set plus a Simmons Beautyrest Mattress and Whisper Soft Super-Stain Bedding ($2,703.03) She’ll sleep soundly tonight. However, as her hat says, Darcy is #1 today! Open up the blinds and show us the rest of her Big Deal! There’s a La-Z-Boy Signature II Sleep Sofa, a Sharp 25″ TV and Panasonic Video Recorder. And let’s add some money for Tapes…a check for $5,000! ($7,449)

Total Winnings: $17,706.03

Quickie Deals: Dominique, with a giant flower saying “Pick Me for a Deal” trades her false eyelashes for $150.  There’s a green rabbit, in sparkles, who’s looking for a button.  It’s worth $150, double if it’s yellow.  Times up before we know!

Allen brings up a memorable “Password” moment with Lucy and Gary. Gary said “Romantic” and needed a form of the word, and then Lucy responded “It Couldn’t be Tick”. Gary’ll be back for Friday, Lucy won’t! HA! HA!

The password today is respond. Your pets will always respond with love and affection if you remember the cardinal rule: Treat Animals with Gentle Hands”

1969 Arlene Francis Gene Rayburn Jack Cassidy Johnny Olson Joyce Brothers Wally Bruner What's My Line?

WHAT’S MY LINE?-Taped January 14, 1969

gamespeopleplayed No Comments

Host: Wally Bruner

Announcer: Johnny Olson

Celebrity Panel:

  • Gene Rayburn (Match Game)
  • Dr. Joyce Brothers (Famous Psychiatrist)
  • Jack Cassidy
  • Arlene Francis

FIRST GUEST: Paul Francis (London, England)

Mr. Francis has had a lot of careers before today: Chef, Hairdresser, Drummer. Today, he’s dealing with a product and salaried.

Arlene: We’re not related, are me?
No, Just Checking
A product I might use?
Yes, men too!
I can hold it in my hand?
No $5

Gene: Does it come in contact with the body?
Yes, but not beyond the hand so No $10

Joyce: When used, do you move it around?
In a loose way
Large enough to be taller than a person?
Sometimes
Large enough for someone to get into?
No $15

Jack: Is the product mobile?
Wally asks again, does he mean place to place? Yes
It’s possible
Outdoors instead of indoors?
No $20

Arlene: Found in a home?
Possibly, but not likely $25

Gene: Anything therapeutic?
No $30

Joyce: Used in the World of Sports?
No $35

Jack: Sold to the consumer market?
In a sense
Would I have to come to you?
Yes
Do you demonstrate the product?
Possibly but No $35

Clue: Paul works in Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

Arlene (Ha, Ha, Ha!): Does it have to do with gambling?
Yes
Do it have to do with the tables?
No $45

Gene: By table, does that include roulette?
Yes (Arlene goes Oh!)
Gene: Do it have to do with the ocean?
The Last No

Arlene wants a guess: SLOT MACHINES! Again, Arlene is too little, too late. Paul specifically repairs them at the Paradise Island Casino in the Bahamas. He originally came to the island as a croupier, then took a six-week course in Chicago, before taking the job. Then the important question: Can you change the odds? Yes! Joyce asks how often the Big Jackpots come along. Well, there’s no rhyme or reason. It depends on the number of symbols on each machine. Jack thinks it’s set by the owners! Wally tries to equate it to how many ways a toothpick fall. In a 24-hour span, Paul figures you’ll lose about 20¢ on every dollar. Some machines can range from $500-$1,000. Back-to-Back Jackpots have happened.

SECOND GUEST: Alice Schiller (Hollywood, CA)

She’s self-employed and deals with a service.

Gene: Do both men and women use this service?
No $5

Joyce: Performed for animals?
No $10

Jack: Service confined to male?
No $15

Arlene: “What else is there?” Women use it?
Yes
Any relation to the entertainment world?
Yes
For women in the entertainment world?
Yes
Either do something for someone or how to someone?
Yes
Show them how to do it?
Yes
Do anything with the way they look?
In the sense, but it’s not the basic part
Do you operate something?
Alice said yes, but when indicating a product, Wally says No $20

Gene: Is this a physical thing?
Yes
Would they get a little “dewy”? What he means is perspiring.
Yes
Would they eventually do it in front of a movie camera?
Yes
Anything to do with losing weight?
No $25

Joyce: Do it have to do with movement?
Yes
In walking or exercise?
No $30

Jack: Looking for a specific area, is it part of the water?
No $35

Arlene, The Art of Self-Defense?
No $40

Gene (who Wally thought would get it in the first try): Do it have to do with love making?
No $45

Joyce: Do you touch the person in any way?
Takes a second before…The Last No

Jack has a thought, does it help women with a relationship? No! Gene is off with stunt driving. Alice TEACHES STRIP TEASE DANCING. Dr. Joyce is curious how Alice can teach that without movement. One black mark for Wally. Mrs. Schiller is the “Dean” of Pink Pussycat College Dancing in Hollywood, California. Requirements include being over 21, fine moral character, and be very serious about strip tease. And, of course, a voluptuous body. At graduation, instead of a degree, they get a stripper’s kit and a T-Shirt. Inscribed is the slogan “The Navel Academy of the West”. Dr. Joyce asks if they take the shirts on or off at graduation. The answer “Both”. For the lady panelists, the kit for one and the shirt for the other.

MYSTERY GUEST:

A great applause

Dr. Joyce: Would I know you from the movies?
Perhaps

Jack: Do you presently have a TV series?
No

Arlene: Are you known for TV apperances?
Yes

Gene: Have you ever appeared in Broadway?
Stumbles out a “Yes, ever” (Not his primary fame)

Joyce: Are you a singer?
Yes

Jack: Have you ever done a Disney film?
Yes

Arlene: Are you appearing presently at a hotel/club in NY?
Almost (to clarify, it will open soon)

Gene:
Do you have a current hit record?
No, I wish I did (15 seconds left)

Joyce: Is the Disney picture a recent one?
Fairly

Jack: Are you that Big, Tall, Handsome, Smashing Baritone John Davidson?
YES

Backstage, John told Wally that Jack Cassidy was his idol and kinda expected “Ol’ Jack” would catch me. That’s “Ol” no “Old”, it’s a term of endearment. John was concerned about sitting down and reading the requirements: “Admission requirements, Over 21, High Moral Character, voluptuous body.” Dr. Joyce will give him the Rhinestone from the Stripper’s Kit for his navel. Psychology of inhibitions, controlling the structural components of the anatomy. Anyway, John is saddened by the end of “Maggie Smith” on Broadway, starring Cassidy. And that night club that John’s is almost performing at the Diversion Room (open now on airdate). Live performances are better than taped for John.

1956 Bob Mathias Jack Bailey Truth or Consequences

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES-Date Unknown (Around 1956)

gamespeopleplayed No Comments

Host: Jack Bailey

All contestants in a soundproof booth unaware Olympic decathlete Bob Mathias is in the studio for a surprise.

First Group:

  • Richard Lee (Chinese)
  • Joe Sansini (Italian)
  • Lloyd Yjke (German)
  • Charlis Gibiante (French)

All they have to do is answer a question before Beulah the Buzzer blanks them out. If they don’t, it’s time to pay a penalty.

Question: What is a dry dock?

TIME’S UP!

A thirsty doctor.

Consequence:  Singing Row, Row, Row your Boat as a round, in each men’s native language.  They’ll also be wearing native hats as well. 

Charlis loses the beat, but that’s good enough.  Each receive an RCA clock radio, Bulova Watch and cartons of Old Gold Filters.

Returning guest: George Benson

George Benson won a Jack look-alike contest for $1,000 four weeks ago.  When Benson came to receive his money, however, he was in for a surprise.  Bailey’s grandfather left it in a safe deposit box and a trustee holds the key.  Jack had viewers send him keys to him, and he ended up with over 50,000.  Last week, George was sent to a clothing store window to try all those keys.  He opened the safe and inside…an old Phonograph with a record.  The voice of Grandpa Bailey left a message to meet the trustee, Mr. Higgledy Figgeldy in Des Moines, Iowa.  This wasn’t the end as the money was in a box buried Downtown.  Half the town was already digging by the time Mr. Benson got there, and someone found the lucky box first.  That man got $1,000 for himself, while Mr. Benson only got a slip of paper.  On it was an address for a Chinese Laundry in Boston, MA.  This last week, Benson’s been searching for the right laundry.  Time for an update, his boss is selling more air coolers than ever before.  Dorothy, his wife, has been with him.

After searching 133 laundry centers, George found the right one and was given a bag “To be Opened only in the presence of my squinty eyed grandson, Jack Bailey” He who’s had enough of the chase.  Jack’ll pay $2,500 for the sack of laundry.  George of course says…NO???  Can’t disappoint all those fans with keys. Let’s open the package.  It’s Laundry…I knew it.  But wait, one rob has a $1,000 bill…torn in half.

There goes the phonograph, Grandpa Bailey has another message.  George will get the other half of that bill in the mail, back home by next week.  “See ya later, Alligator” What a wonderful sport!

When George is gone, Jack has another surprise. He needs TV viewers to send a bunch of empty envelopes to Mr. Benson’s address, which we saw just a moment ago.  Again, why didn’t George just take the $2,500??

Moving on…

Two college boys are in a soundproof booth.  Their consequences will be running an obstacle course against an older woman.  In disguise is Bob Mathias.  He and his wife will soon start their own TV show. 

Larry Dominick and Roger Mitchell, both played Basketball in Glendale, CA

Question: What is a parking meter?

TIME’S UP!

A snitching post

Introducing their opponent, Mrs. Ruthie Jones. She was a bloomer girl in the 1800s. Here’s the course:

It starts with a run through the backstage area, down the hallway and backstage right.  Then jumping over two hedges and up two steps, moving hand by hand over a suspended ladder.  If they slip, they fall in a small pool.  The next challenge is climbing over a Marine Net (Cargo Net as American Gladiators would call it) before pole vaulting onto sawdust.  It ends with a quick step to a chair, and the first to sit down wins the bonus.  Mrs. Jones is getting a head start.  She’s across the hallway when Jack finally says Go! 

Mrs. Jones is climbing the Net while the men were crossing the ladder.  Larry falls in the pool.  Mrs. Jones vaults over the pole and is in the chair while only one man is over the net. 

Once the gag is revealed, Bob announces the premiere of the movie “Alexander the Great” at the Fox Welcher.  All proceeds from the showing will go to the U.S. Olympic Fund.  As for the gentlemen, they each get a Graflex 35mm Camera with Tripod and Case…and don’t forget the cigs.

FINAL GUESTS:

Paul Humiston and Dave Ross are next, both expectant fathers selected from the audience.

Question: What’s the slogan of the famous newspaper “The Daily Gesundheit”?

TIME’S UP!

A Paper not to be sneezed at.

For their consequences, the gentlemen will have a baby dressing race.  Winner gets a Maytag Washer and Dryer.  Each will get their own children with baby carriages…but warning, they’re a couple of monkeys.  Three minutes to make it happen.

Surprisingly, the three-time father Paul can’t keep the baby in the carriage.  Dave, a first-time father, Is well ahead.  Both men receive $150 Spiegel Gift Certificates.

1968 Anita Gillette Arlene Francis Jack Cassidy Johnny Olson Soupy Sales Wally Bruner What's My Line?

WHAT’S MY LINE?-Taped November 7, 1968

gamespeopleplayed No Comments

Host: Wally Bruner

Announcer: Johnny Olson

Celebrity Panel:

FIRST GUEST: James Proco (NYC)

We already learn he’s an usher right in this theatre and a college student. In between that, he’s salaried and working in a service.

Soupy (After a bit of rambling…) Does it have to do with show biz?

In the broadest sense, on the fringe (“He Makes Fringes”) It’s a Yes

Does it have to do with other people in showbiz?

No $5

Anita: Would I like to use your service?

Indirectly, same for Orson

It doesn’t matter if it’s a man or woman?

It doesn’t matter, Yes

When you perform, do people come to you?

Yes

Do you perform in a building? 

Yes

Do you require a uniform?

Yes     

Anita gets lost finding the next question: Do you use any equipment?

No $10

Orson (who thought Anita was talking instruments of torture): Would people come to you all alone?

No, which means your turn is over, Orson. $15

Arlene: You deal with groups of people?

More Than One

Do you instruct in any way?

James leans to No, but Wally needs a conference.  There may be advice given, but there’s no degree of instruction.  It’s still No $20

Soupy: Do you deal with groups other than people?

No $25

Anita: Do people hire you to take them around a building?

No $30

Orson: Is it a small group/number of people?

Yes

Would it be two?

Not necessarily

Would it help to know what you’re wearing?

Yes

Are you fully clad?

Yes

Wearing a suit like the suit and tie he’s wearing now?

No $35

Arlene: Anything athletic?

No, two to go and 15 seconds left

Soupy: Do you move around?

Another conference after James jumps with a No.  Allegedly, he may have ups and downs.

Soupy: Do you have to touch anything to go up and down?

Wally brings this game to an end

If there’s anything James touches, it might be his nose going up and down the chimney.  Mr. Proco is a DEPARTMENT STORE SANTA CLAUS.  Specifically, at Lord & Taylor’s in NY, and it’s his second year.  It took a while to learn how to get the voice down.  We see some great looking pictures with a wide-eyed kid.  Soupy asks if Jim every got a smack in the face. “Almost!”

Christmas is another story for the panel not figuring this out.  In Soupy’s building, the elevator operator for 18 years is fired because the regular one came back.

SECOND GUEST: Charlotte Drury (Jackson Heights, NY)

After some applause from friends, we learn Charlotte is salaried, in services AND deals with a product

Arlene: A service I might use?

Yes

Requires some dexterity, for her to give it to me?

For the service itself, but let’s focus on the product

Is it a product you can hold it your hand?

No $5

Soupy with the age old Question:  Is it bigger than a bread box?

Yes

A product used by men and women?

Yes

Does it touch the human body?

A quick no, then a conference changes it to Yes

Is it used in the home?

Definite No $10

Anita: Is it used in or near water?

Yes

Is it MUCH larger than a bread box?

Yes

Some sort of boat?

Yes

Do you operate this boat?

The boat is the product, she’s not involved in the operation.  No leeway!  $15 “It’s all yours, Orson”

Orson: Do you instruct in some way?

No $20

Arlene: Boats large enough for three or more passengers?

Yes

Are these decorated by you?

No $25

Soupy: Is it a dinghy?

Too small, “I’m pretty dinghy myself”, We’ll move on

Do you sell boats?

No $30

Anita: Arranging trips on boats?

Yes

Are you a travel agent?

Yes

Is it the liner around Manhattan?

Wally’s had enough!  Charlotte RENTS YACHTS.

Mrs. Drury works for Wakefield Fortune Incorporated arranging cruises.  A new service at the time, Charlotte has become a specialist in this field.  Yachts all have their own crews.  As you’d know from game show history, popular spots include the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Greek Isles.  If Wally and the panel wanted a boat to rent, the smallest they could get would be about 54 ft.  About $206 per person for one week including three meals a day.  A larger, 200ft. power yacht on Mediterranean would take the whole studio.  Total $12,000 a week per person.  The interior is as fancy as any local hotel around here.

MYSTERY GUEST

A strong applause marks his/her arrival

Orson: May I assume that you’re in show business?

Yes

Arlene: Are you known for your work in the theater?

No

Wally says there are some you’d know this guest from theater, but primarily for something else.

Soupy: Would this activity be in motion pictures?

Yes

Anita: Do you live in this city, most of the time?

Wally doesn’t know for sure.  In her business, she would be found in NYC sometimes.

Orson (30 sec. to go): Are you also in TV?

No, not at this moment

Arlene: Are you a singer?

Yes

Soupy: Did you earn your reputation in movies for musicals?

Yes

Anita: Are you in a musical picture right now?

No

Orson: A non-musical picture?

No, 15 seconds

Arlene: Are you appearing in a club or hotel in NYC?

No, TIME’S UP!

It’s Historic Maggie Flynn, SHIRLEY JONES

Honest Answers:

Mark Rafferty (Staten Island, NY) for Anita:  How tall are you?  You seem so little, how do you get into mini-skirts?

Answer: 5’1” in stocking feet, but she often says 5’3”.  And she buys clothes in the Junior Department.  Not many mini-skirts, though

Larry Schmidt (Potsdam, PA) for Orson: “Where did you get the name Orson Bean?”

Answer: He made it up.  His real name is Dallas Burrows which he said “Sounds Like a name a nut like Orson Bean would make Up” One last letter for “Souper Sales” but not enough time.
