      Growing up, smoking from age 12, watching my heavy smoking 59 year old grandmother die of lung cancer, the controversy was always “is there actual proof smoking causes cancer”… Later it was revealed that the tobacco industry had deliberately hidden the damaging truth from the public in the interests of sales and profits.

    Rita Cansino and her family of dancers. Her brother did have her eyes. I’m not the biggest fan of Dino but he’s got a first rate mama . She’s so cute. Yul’s sister is beautiful and talented. Gary says Judy looks like her mom Loretta Young which she did. but was supposedly adopted. She was her real daughter. Love child with Clark gable. She denied it though. She looked like her dad too The other 2 teens also look like their famous parents. Great show.

    7:50 If you're Italian or of Italian descent, raise your hand if you've ever had this same conversation about "pasta [e] fagioli." Sometimes, "guappo" will enter the same conversation.

    "Is your brother a romantic lead?"

    Cartons of cigarettes were prizes, etc. on just about every game show,along with being very prominent in most TV shows. I grew up in a smoking house and have never in my whole (75+ year) life even tried to smoke!!! It was very accepted back then - my Mom had COPD when she passed!!!

      Texas 1 According to his daughter Deana’s biography of her Dad, his Mum’s pasta fagioli was Deans favourite meal, and she made it with her own special secret ingredient.

    Wow! That was a tricky position for Judy to put herself in when she looks so much like her celebrity secret father! Holy cow. Did she not yet know? I thought the first young man did indeed look like a young John Wayne as well.

    Angela Barra Crosetti looks so young. She was only 20 when she gave birth to Paul Crosetti (Dean Martin).

    It is surprising that Melinda Markey was mentioned as the daughter of Joan Bennett, but not Gene Markey. In several interviews, Melinda has said after her parents' divorce, she rarely ever saw her mother, and considered her stepmother Hedy Lamarr more as a mother to her. Melinda still occasionally shows up in Austria, visiting her half-brother.

      why is that surprising? she WAS the daughter of Joan Bennett ... the show wasn't about children who have unresolved issues with their mothers and step-mothers, was it?
      Gene Markey was only married to Hedy Lamarr for 2 years, so I doubt your claim the she won the mother-of-the-year prize with regard to her step-daughter could be true especially since Hedy's own children have publically said she was a distant mother figure and she was completely estranged from her eldest son for over 50 years Where do you get this stuff??

      Since they all knew Joan, she was the one mentioned. Her father was not as well known as her mother. Only in rare instances are writers and producers as well known as the actresses they are married to (and he was married to three star actresses before his final wife (and wife at the time of broadcast)) who was known largely only ion horse circles.
