Marge Cleveland from Hollywood: “I’m a screamer…I’ve screamed in 83 movies”                 
Cleveland has just finished work on Caprice (1967) starring Doris Day and Richard Harris.  Her resume is long, but it’s filled with mostly forgettable films for which her parts are typically small and often uncredited. She demonstrates her very specific skill.   

Charles Kunz from St Louis: “I just enlisted in the Air Force” and his wife Terry: “I enlisted with him”                 
Charles and Terry were married a little more than a month ago and were able to enter together only because of a recent ruling allowing wives to enlist alongside their husbands.  Both are nurses who attended nursing school together in St Louis.  They were each sworn in as second lieutenants.   

Special guest Walter Pidgeon brings stills from old, mostly obscure films and asks the panel to identify the famous performers in the shots.  The pictures come from the Jon Springer pictorial history All Talking! All Singing! All Dancing! (Cadillac 1966).  Some of the stars featured include Myrna Loy, Betty Grable, Lucille Ball, Harriet Nelson, Joan Crawford, Bing Crosby, Ginger Rogers, Charles Ruggles, Fredric March and even Betsy herself in an early role.  Pidgeon is a prolific actor whose own career dates back to the 1920s and includes roles in such classic films as Mrs. Miniver (1942), How Green Was My Valley (1941) and Forbidden Planet (1956).  He is appearing on Broadway in a revival of Dinner At Eight, which opened on September 27 and would run until January 14, 1967.
