- So here are men doing jobs usually associated with women.  I love that about this show.  And Arlene is a riot!

Bette is so regal and commanding.   You can't help but respect her as a person, as well as her body of work, her fights and struggles, her independence and strength.  Love her!

Her and Joan were on the show 5 times!!! They were lucky to have them
as regulars😂😂

Bette Davis was obviously classy. She made sure to acknowledge the audience when she entered.

This was broadcast the night before I was born. Wonder if my parents watched it.

Arlene looks great. That dress is great!

Yippee, nurses!!

God bless us, all!

Thank you for these fabulous shows! Enjoy each program.

I REALLY like Joey Bishop's appearances on WML. His deadpan, self-deprecating humor somehow works wonderfully well in tandem with Bennett's charmingly pompous verbosity, Arlene's flirtatious charm, and Dorothy's sharklike intelligence.

In any interview , ms davis always acknowledged the audience and her fans warmly. A true classy woman and talent. Rest in oeace

'The World of Carl Sandberg' has an interesting history. The fact that it's 2 stars, Bette and Gary, were married to each other and in the process of divorcing doomed the play.

There is nothing I don't LOVE about her.  Her acting ability is beyond spectacular and no matter who may have shared the stage with her...she IS the only one there and your focus is always on her.  Even in her very early years there was something about her performance that was unusually good for a rather new actress.

I love how Bette Davis acknowledged the audience. Hardly any of the celebrities  did that either when they arrived or when they left.

In July of 1961, Pat Hayes got trampled by a bull whilst in the rodeo, went to the hospital with what were described as 'serious' injuries, and then I can't find her anywhere. I suspect this is just because a) Pat was not her full name, and b) she got married at some point. But I hope she was OK!

Ms. Davis was a lady with strong working moral most people do not have today. How polite of her to face the audience and acknowledge them. Sha was classy.

Bennett's inability to imagine men working in a hospital as anything but doctors (or med students) says a lot about how the world has changed.

In her 30s, Miss Davis was a beauty( Now Voyager,  The Letter, Dark Victory), and you can see the remnants of that beauty in her handsome face. Love her!

It sounds like Arlene interviewed Bette for her radio show a few days prior.

It hit me that for actors, they can guess ones that are appearing in New York.

They must scan the papers to see who has a picture currently in the theatres or going to be in the theatres.

I think that’s why they couldn’t guess Raquel Welch.

It’s April 2020. I’m in the quarantine. Such simple times then. Wish I could have been born to watch my parents meet in the late 50s and go on to their year.

And Bette must have thought QUITE a bit of Miss Arlene (and, realistically, who wouldn't have???) to give her a buss on the cheek -- Bette was famous for her "Yankee reserve," and quite often spoke about how she refused to hug or kiss people she didn't know very well or genuinely like, just for the "show bizzy" sake of doing so. She mentions this on her excellent appearance on Dick Cavett's show, after she firmly shakes his hand, but pointedly doesn't kiss him -- and she LIKED Cavett!
