Mr. X:  “1952 Olympic swimming champion”                 
Hawaiian swimmer Ford Konno not only won two golds and a silver at the 1952 Summer pics in Helsinki, his time in the 1500m freestyle (the subject of the secret) was an Olympic record.  Garry is quick to point out, “that was the day our team score went ahead of the Russian score,” because that sort of thing was terribly important!  Konno would later marry a fellow Hawaiian 1952 swimming medalist.   
  
Miss Daly from Brooklyn: “I’m going to marry Tommy Manville”                 
The audience erupts in amused glee when Corinne Daly’s secret is revealed, because Tommy Manville was famous for one thing and one thing only: his multiple marriages.  A multimillionaire heir who never worked, Manville was married a total of 13 times to 11 different women.  Manville had married wife #9 on July 10, but that marriage ended when she got a so-called “Mexican divorce” less than a month later.  Daly, who was allegedly the reason behind wife #9's quicky divorce, just as quickly became identified as Manville's soon-to-be wife #10.  However, that relationship also soured within a few weeks. While there are publicity photos showing them together, Daly (then 24) and Manville (then 58) never wed.   

Special Guest Wanda Hendrix: “I once took a milk bath” 
Wanda Hendrix was a tiny (5’2”) kewpie-faced beauty whose early film roles in the 1940s held the promise of a great career, but whose personal woes prevented that from happening.  She married western star and real-life war hero Audie Murphy in 1949, but that marriage ended a year later amid stories of threatening behavior by Murphy and his struggles with what we now call PTSD.  Hendrix married twice more, both times to wealthy businessmen, and effectively retired from films, though she continued to make television appearances.
