Johnny Miller from Portland, OR: “I play 5
musical instruments at the same time”
Miller plays guitar, harmonica, bass
fiddle with his right foot, and both steel guitar and Solovox organ with his
left foot. He performs the Western swing
ballad “Detour (There’s a Muddy Road Ahead)."
He would appear as himself (billed "Driftin' Johnny Miller") in the 1958 film Country Music Holiday, but would die a year later in an automobile accident.
[Mary Warner] of Tenafly, NJ: “I am a direct
descendant of Lady Godiva”
Godiva was an actual countess of the
11th century, remembered today for riding through the streets of Coventry
naked to protest her husband’s unfair taxes on the people. According to the legend, the townspeople were
forbidden to watch her ride, but one tailor named Thomas ignored the edict. From that story we get the term ‘Peeping Tom’.

in sand
The panelists are blindfolded, of
course, though as each is eliminated, they join in the slapstick fun which
eventually dissolves into mayhem. North

the next Marilyn Monroe, but whose career never reached anywhere close to those
heights. She worked steadily throughout
her career, eventually becoming a ubiquitous guest star on television series of
the 70s and 80s.
