WHAT'S MY LINE What's My Line was a long-running game show with a regular panel of celebrities that stayed with the show week after week. It was where Fred Allen found a home after failing in his attempt to replicate his enormously popular radio show to TV. He was once famously quoted as saying, "You can take all of the sincerity in Hollywood and put into a mosquito's navel and still have room for two caraway seeds and a producers heart" and, "Television is a device that permits people who haven't anything to do to watch people who can't do anything." This clip is from March 18th 1956, the day after Fred Allen passed away...
Another long-time panelist passed away in 1965 while the Sunday night show was on the air, columnist Dorothy Kilgallen. Here's her tribute, it's remarkable how similar they are...
Miss Kilgallen died under most unfortunate circumstances. After securing an interview with Lee Harvey Oswald's killer Jack Ruby, Kilgallen announced on a TV talk show that she would release new information that would "blow the JFK assassination wide open." A few days later she was found dead, dressed and sitting upright in bed. Her death was ruled either suicide or accidental overdose of alcohol and barbiturates. Coincidently, her research papers were nowhere to be found.
