Bill, Jayne, Henry, Polly Bergen

Garry the Weatherman: “Welcome, friends, on this beautiful spring evening in New York City.”    

Mrs. B.C. Pierce from Winston-Salem, NC: “I am Ava Gardner’s sister” 
Myra is the older sister of the famous movie star and looks very much like her glamorous younger sibling.  So much so that once the panel realizes they’re searching for a famous sister, Jayne recognizes the resemblance.    


John Beaird from Louisville, KY: “I’m on my honeymoon” 
Wacky matrimony.  Mr. Beaird is 100 years old.  His marriage to his 69-year-old housekeeper on April 15th made the newspapers and was even featured in a Ripley’s Believe It Or Not drawing.  Mrs. Beaird appears afterwards and the show gives the lovebirds a trip around New York in a hansom cab.    


Special Guest Harpo Marx: “I’m pretending to be Harpo Marx (I’m Chico)” 
Both brothers were in their mid-60s at this point, and while they were already heralded as comic legends, their filmmaking prime had been decades ago, so a curly blond wig and a honking horn was enough to fool the panel.  Adding to the confusion, Chico makes little effort to answer the questions truthfully.  (We list Harpo as the guest here in keeping with the nature of the original secret.  Harpo does not appear in this episode.)
