Heliodore Cyr: “I just had my 26th child” 
Wacky childbirth, particularly notable because all the children were single births.  Mr. Cyr is Canadian and speaks practically no English.  The show’s production manager Mitchell Leiser serves as interpreter.  Cyr appeared on the show once earlier when he had 25 children [ E71 ] and would return to the show in 1959 when his family grew yet again. [ E342 ]   

Billy Kilroy: “I was Marlon Brando’s stand-in” 
More specifically, Kilroy (a former professional boxer) was Brando’s body double in the fight scenes for On The Waterfront (1954).  Kilroy went on to do fight scenes and serve as a technical adviser in twelve more films, acting as Paul Newman's double in  Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956) and The Hustler (1961).  When his time in show business came to a close, Kilroy (under his real name William Ramoth) would serve as a deputy in the US Marshals Service.  As if all those careers weren’t enough, he also dabbled in writing poetry.   

Special Guest Lauritz Melchior: “I was a boy soprano…then a baritone…then a tenor” 
During the questioning, the panel is required to sing their questions in an operatic style.  Melchior is a Danish-born opera singer, considered one of the greatest tenors of his generation.  His career flourished throughout the 1930s and 1940s as a ‘heldentenor’, a heroic voice typically associated with Wagner roles.  By this point he is semi-retired, but he would continue to make public appearances, both in person and on television.
