529     June 10, 1963 (LIVE)
Bill, Lauren Bacall, Henry, Bess

Though films in the 40s and 50s made her a star, and later roles on stage and film would make her a legend, Bacall’s career had slowed a bit in the early 60s.  This, she says, is her first time on a panel show.  Either she means as a panelist or she has a bad memory since she was on Secret in 1960 ( E403 ).  She will appear on the DuPont Show of the Week on June 23 in “A Dozen Deadly Roses” alongside Walter Matthau.   

Winifred Caldwell from Buffalo, New York is an artist, and: “I do my drawings with a typewriter” 
Caldwell calls her works TypEtchings.  She started in 1944 and would continue to produce works until 1971.  While most typewriter art (and later, ASCII art designs created by computers) simply use characters set in the proper places, Caldwell would carefully twist and turn the paper inside her typewriter to create true works of art from strokes of her portable, manual machine.   


Special guest Arnold Palmer: “Henry Morgan doesn’t know it, but…he’s going to be my caddie in the tournament this week” 
The tournament is the Thunderbird Classic in Rye, New York, but Henry is only being asked to caddie for the pro-am event on Wednesday.  Palmer would end up winning the Thunderbird tournament that weekend.  Garry also talks about Palmer’s participation in next month’s PGA Championship, to be covered by CBS, mentioning it was the only major that had eluded him.  Palmer would never win a PGA Championship.  The legendary golfer is promoting a franchised chain of Arnold Palmer Putting Courses.  The miniature golf courses were a rival to industry leader Putt-Putt in the 1960s but waned in popularity before the decade ended.  There are still Arnold Palmer minigolf courses in England.   


British entertainer Roy Castle, who has been inside a crate on stage the entire show: “I’m sitting in an automobile”                 
Castle has been making a name for himself in America primarily with appearances on Garry’s variety show.  He would become a popular entertainment figure in his own country in the decades to follow, best known there for hosting the long-running show Record Breakers (1972-2001).  He is driving a Peel P50, a three-wheeled miniature vehicle considered the smallest production car ever made.  The P50 was originally produced from 1962 until 1965.  Only 27 survive today, and they command high prices at auction.
