Dorothy at about 12:05 says "San Francisco is such a gay city"! Oh, boy...if she only knew!
-
I just love that in the 50s there was a burlesque performer famous enough to get applause like that on TV.
-
Jeepers!! I was afraid the whole time that Gypsy would swallow some of those marbles!
-
What a handsome group of young men, and wonderful manners! 👏👏
-
My wonderful mother was born on this very day, may 31, 1959 (:
-
THIS SHOW IS ADDICTIVE!
-
It's wonderful that I can see what Gypsy Rose Lee actually looks like. All I can recall is the movie in which Natalie Wood played her part. And that was wonderful.

How charming gypsy rose lee is
-
How charming Gypsy Rose was! A delight!
-
She was smart and special. Charismatic and kind. After such a rough childhood, too. Good for her.
-
Loved the way Gypsy took off her gloves and twirled them round 17:25
-
I was born in 56, and know my mom loved the stage. I bet I was an early viewer! What grace and charm humans used to exhibit. I long for this today....
-
I was 13 when this first aired, and I watched it with my family. As usual, I asked what the MG was famous for. My parents told me she was a famous dancer. I then saw Gypsy Rose Lee on various talk shows, and it didn't take long for me to understand that she was more than a dancer.
-
Love Gypsy's glove strip.
-
gypsy is 48 here, and still rocking a body that made her famous, her hey-day was the depression era of the 1930's and 40's, she rewrote the strip tease act into an art form. and her personal life was just as interesting.
-
I'm surprised and impressed that the audience evidently knew Ms. Rose Lee by sight. I also think it's interesting that it's the female audience members that had the most excited response.
-
Gig Young had such a tragic and mysterious end. Loved the babysitters! I cant help but wonder if they remained entrepreneurs.
-
Sadly, she died at age 59 of lung cancer in 1970. RIP.
-
It was so nice that Bennet mentioned Debbie Reynolds. She was so sweet especially her visit in 1954...
-
I love all the smiles on the panelists. They are so cute!
