It is said we never die until the last person says your name. Love you Arlene.

Ahh. The woman who killed someone in an automobile accident. What a breath of death.

Shame Bennett Cerf was only 72 when he died.

She was class when there was no baggage to the word. Lovely. Intelligent. Gracious. A standout with humility. I can’t think of a moment where she wasn’t shining. And she adored her husband and son. I know she had trying moments. She weathered them with respect, sorrow, and the will to get through.

Just 😊wonderful...😊

What about her most important role a mother...a wife..you leave out the most important part of her life..u are sick

Bennett and Arlene (and her husband Martin Gabel) had adjoining suburban estates in Mount Kisco in Westchester County, so they probably saw each other a little more often than you might think from the video. They were more than wealthy enough to have city apartments as well.

Lovely memorial. Thank you for sharing it.

Such an intelligent,strong and lovely woman. She was an incredible journalist. The book “The Reporter That Knew Too Much” was an eye opener.

Not a clue who Bennet Carf is

I have not much to add to this. Except, she was a pearl. She wasn't a Hollywood Beauty. But she had Style. Class. Queen Dorothy.

Always looking for Arlene's necklace... Still in love with her. A true Dame. I never liked game shows. Until....I saw a WML with Debbie Reynolds. And Liz Taylor. And after that, many, many more 😍 Btw; praise the inventors of YT. Without them, I (we) would have missed a whole universe.

He'd only live another 3 years. What a shame.

The man was almost as bad as Donald Trump. He scammed people with an art school, a writer, school, all sorts of different schools, advertised in comic books and the National Enquirer, the Times. He was found civilly guilty of fraud. He had no morals. He had to pay millions in settlements, mostly post mortem.

Unless the show was in syndication in 1968, this would have to before before that time because the network broadcast s ended in 1967.

Watching this i realized how much the intelligence in the world of entertainment has plummeted.

Thank you for this.

Bennett Cerf .. had always impressed me which his intelligence

Inspiring lady. Wish I could have met her

Phylis Newman, come on…Merv.

Sadly,BC only had 2 or 3 years to live😢🎩

Of course, the last series of the original WML was made in colour too...but only the black and white spare prints remain🎩

Boy was it nice back then.

I saw Bennett Cerf on tv when I was a kid and learned my first pun from him. I was pleased with myself because I got the joke. "An Oklahoma indian chief, after oil was discovered on the reservation, bought yacht club memberships for his two boys. When asked why he would spend such a considerable amount of money on his offspring considering Oklahoma is a land locked state; the Chief simply replied that he always wanted red sons in the sail set." I can already hear the groans.

Gawn today, gone tomorrow...

I mourn the loss of Bennet Cerf and the age he represents. Oh, for the age when one could be funny AND intellectual. Love you Mr Cerf.

The only panel member Bennett actually met was Arlene.

Guess I have to Google Bennett Cerf 🧐

The Original What's my line is my favorite game show ever. It really is a good history lesson seeing what was important then, famous people before they were famous, inventions we take for granted....

He loved the women contestants on WML and flirted with every one of them.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

It does hurt that all these fabulous people have been dead for long. Brilliant, witty, classy and then just gone.

Pretty Baby 😊

💔💔💔

Too bad John Daly never did this show.

Bennett's voice is unmistakable. Even disguised.

I love Arlene Francis…

I get so sad when I see Peter and from what I hear, he was a very well respected college professor. His parents were so loving to him. What was wonderful is that he got his mom on the show, and she never guessed it was him.

Ah.... That was a treat.

Love the music

I love her class, elegance, style. A beauty and a lady 😍

He was such a nice person, I loved him. And I love Arlene and it was so nice to see them back together again!

Thank you,for showing this tribute of Dorothy Kilgallen.

Well done, very nice, indeed!

Thank you!

Little too smart-a$$y for my tastes.

While Bennett Cerf was the epitome of Manhattan sophistication as a publishing titan, he was an enthusiastic panelist on "What's My Line?", cheering on contestants with mundane jobs just as eagerly as trying to learn the identities of the Mystery Guests.

That was some love story! Like a fairytale.

He was my favorite panelist on What's My Line.His autobiography At Random is a good read.
