Perkins is appearing in the films The Trial (1962) and Five Miles to Midnight (1962). Faye will star in a stage production of The Matchmaker in Palm Beach, Florida

Ivy Davenport from Hodgenville, Kentucky: “I was born in that log
cabin”
The structure
he refers to is a one-room cabin inside a museum building at the Abraham
Lincoln Memorial National Park near Hodgenville. It is supposedly the cabin where Lincoln
himself was born. Davenport worked at
the memorial for 21 years, before retiring in 1959. While Davenport was in fact born in that
cabin, historians now agree it is a replica of the one Lincoln was born in,
reconstructed on the site of Lincoln’s birth, but in the late 19th
century. Today, the Park Service refers to the structure as the “Symbolic Log
Cabin” and describes it as “yet another symbol of our collective heritage and
of Lincoln’s myth.”
Deanne Fitzpatrick from New Orleans, Louisiana: “I had triplets”
Less than
wacky childbirth, but what makes the segment interesting is that Deanne was a
member of the I’ve Got a Secret staff
from 1960 until 1962. Then single,
Deanne Barkley was one of the people responsible for hunting down Secrets to
use on the show. Henry and Faye are put
to work building one of three cribs the show gives Mrs. Fitzpatrick as a gift. Meanwhile…
Special guest Ann Sothern gives Betsy
and Tony directions on how to dance the bossa nova, and gives Garry directions
on how to ski. Both efforts are from
actual printed instructions found by the show staff.
