This is one of two shows (see also
E555
) taped before the start of the fall season, as Steve was just getting his
feet wet. Note the panel is seated in
their old order.
Verina Greenlaw from London, England: “I almost drowned…I was
rescued by Cary Grant”
While
shooting a water scene for the film Father
Goose (1965), an eight-foot dinghy holding Cary Grant, Leslie Caron and
seven child actors unexpectedly capsized in rough waters generated by a
wave-making machine. This took place in
a studio tank on a movie lot. Young
Verina and the other children were unhurt.
Verina would have several other mostly British acting credits through
the age of 15.
Special guest Jayne Meadows is wearing an elaborate blonde wig,
and she gives Steve a camera flash: “When you flash the light, my hair will
turn purple”
Jayne’s wig
and, as we find out later, her dress have been treated with a photochromic dye
which reacts to ultraviolet light. This
is another project of the National Cash Register Company. G.J. Wilson from NCR comes out to explain the
process and its possible applications in data storage. Today, the best known application of
photochromism is sunglass lenses that darken in bright light.
Eight singing sisters with the last name Tai, whose first names
are: Do-Do, Re-Re, Mi-Mi, Fa-Fa, So-So, La-La, Si-Si and Octavia
The Tai
sisters are from Honolulu, and are performing at the Hawaiian Pavilion of the
New York World’s Fair. Here, they
perform Do-Re-Mi (1959). Of course they do. These are their given names, but they didn’t
all keep them. As Dwan L. Tai, Do-Do
would write the historical work Chiang Ch-Ing: The Emergence of a Revolutionary Political
Leader (Exposition 1974)
