- Take your seats for this FULL LENGTH color 1970 episode of What's My Line! Featuring mystery celebrity Broadway star, Larry Kert!
Larry was best known for creating the role of Tony in the original Broadway version of, West Side Story.
Fun Fact: In 1955, while dancing in the chorus of the Sammy Davis Jr. show,#Mr Wonderful, Kert's dancing friend, Chita Rivera told him to audition as a dancer during the earliest Broadway pre-production of West Side Story. After his audition, he was the first one cut. A few months later, Stephen Sondheim approached him and set up an audition for the part of Tony. A few weeks later, he got the role!
Kert's next big break came as a replacement for Dean Jones as the lead in Stephen Sondheim's 1970 production, Company!

I had a Spiro Agnew watch ⌚. WOW, I totally forgot about that one.
FYI BUZZR, I'M SAG/AFTRA MYSELF.
The catch was that it only worked if you kept submitting payments for it care of the vice-president’s White House office where he personally accepted graft payments in cash.
(☝️ FYI, I made up the first part. The second part is TRUE. Agnew continued to personally collect cash payments in his vice-presidential office for a payola scheme from his days as governor of Maryland.)
@fredericklmeade2947 wow, so that is why Agnew resigned as VP in 1973 and Ford replaced him.
YAY...Panel intros!

In June 1959 Hedda Hopper reported in her column that Larry Kert and Julie Adams had signed with producer J. Arthur Rank to star in a film to be called "The Cowboy in Blighty," written by Isabel Dawn, about a Texas millionaire's love for a musical comedy star. The film was never made.
So what. Many movies are planned but never made.
This must have been just after Larry Kert took over the role of Bobby from Dean Jones.
Oh, dear, the credit crawl machine wasn't functioning well!!

Larry Kert was married to Anita Ellis.
No, Larry Kert was gay. His male partner before he died of AIDS in 1991 was Ron Pullen. Anita Ellis was his sister.
@@doctor_sabato Do you have video of Kert and Pullen doing something with each other? Home video was possible to use as far back as the late 1970s. The two men about whom you are speculating survived until 1991, so primitive technology can not be your excuse for the absence of video of a sexual act. The marriage certificate with Anita Ellis does exist. You don't have video of a homosexual act because possibly it never happened with Kert and Pullen. [new paragraph]
I am not saying what Kert and Pullen did or did not do. I am saying you are speculating without proof. And you are speculating about a stage actor, not someone with a cult following of movie buffs, but a stage actor who is lucky that he is being discussed 32 years after his death, discussed by people who never met him. Either discuss his work on the stage, such as West Side Story, or leave him alone.
@@kathrynfauble9053ok terrific
@@mckernan603 You bet, awesome. All dead people are equal, but some are more equal than others. George Orwell approached that truth. When you discuss entertainment in the 1950s, stage actors don't equal movie actors. Remember stage actors for their work. They're lucky people discuss their work. How exciting that this video and the comments focus on Larry Kert's work!
@kathrynfauble9053 You cannot marry your sister in the US.
Admittedly not my generation, but Soupy Sales is impressively unfunny!
He was funny for over 40 years and even made Frank Sinatra laugh.
