Chef Cardini of KGO-TV in San Francisco: “My
mustache is insured for $50,000”
Jack Cardini was one of the first
television chefs. His show ran for an
hour weekday afternoons in San Francisco in the 1950s. With his thick accent and polite demeanor, he
became a colorful character and popular celebrity in the Bay Area. Because of the shared surname, he is often
confused with Caesar and Alex Cardini, the west coast chefs credited with
inventing the Caesar salad, but he is not part of that family.

Special Guest Margaret O’Brien: “I used to
wear false teeth”
The young actress is only fifteen
years old at the time of this appearance, but is already an established star,
having received the Academy Juvenile Award (a miniature Oscar) for 1944’s Meet Me In St Louis. Her Secret has to do with the making of
another 1944 movie, The Canterville Ghost. She was losing her baby teeth during the
making of the picture, and had to be fitted with dentures to ensure consistency
during the production. Though never
reaching the heights of her childhood success, O’Brien continued to work as an
adult.
