What's My Line? - Maureen O' Hara; Martin Gabel [panel] (Dec 27, 1959)

I love the good manners displayed. I learn so much from this show!

Never EVER get tired of seeing Maureen O'Hara. I have to say she was definitely one of the most beautiful women mystery guests in the history of What's My Line. 

Even her handwriting was beautiful and classy.  There are no real stars like this anymore

I've never understood exactly what it was about Maureen O'Hara that was so captivating. Certainly she was stunningly beautiful (even her signature was gorgeous), brilliant, talented, charming, gracious, witty, vivacious... everything, but there was something more. She was simply spellbinding and I'll never be able to put my finger on it. Anytime she was in frame I never saw anything else but her.

Stunningly beautiful, but with grace and much class.

Maureen O'Hara is the epitome of beauty and grace....perfectly lovely....

My mother was in Maureen O'Haras class in Eccles Street convent school.

R.I.P. Miss O'Hara. You were one of the very great actresses of Hollywood

The sardine taster was fascinating! Never thought there would have been such a thing lol. She explained very well. At least she got a chance to explain too

Ms. O'Hara always had such a luminous, yourthful quality that set her apart from other actresses, I think.

18:05 The panel had started an impromptu "conference",Dorothy immediately remembers the rules & backs off. Martin Gabel apologizes to John Daly & says it was his fault. Can you imagine this was just a game show? Such grace & class!

I loved her in the original movie The Parent Trap with Haley Mills.  She was just wonderful.  She sure was a beautiful woman inside and out.

Arlene Francis is SO good. She's like some kind of genie.

Given the recent loss of Maureen O'Hara is is worthy to note that this show is almost 56 years old. These vignettes serve as a window into another era whose class and style are sadly now just artefacts of an archeology of the past. It is also interesting that Ms. O'Hara was the last surviving member of this show until her passing.

Mr. Daly makes me smile because he's such an alpha! Decisive, guiding with hands on to direct the gobsmacked guests to stand on the X within in camera range in the beginning of their appearance, patting men and women to put them at ease or show camaraderie. Really, he's a gem.

The downside to WML having had virtually every major celebrity on the program at one time or another is that, going forward, every time a celebrity of the era passes away, it becomes a WML-related event. As I've said in the past in similar situations, I think the best way we can honor the memory of these folks is by revisiting their performances and remembering them for the joy they brought to the world, rather than wallowing in sadness at their passing. I honestly think this is what most performers would want from the public. R.I.P., Maureen O'Hara.

Dorothy simply glows in this edition. I think that hairstyle and those earrings really brought out the fullness of her beauty.

RIP, that great beauty, Maureen, you and the Duke are together again.

I'm stunned. By coincidence I just came across this episode again with the picture of the young Maureen O'Hara and read in disbelieve "R.I.P, Maureen O'Hara". Didn't trust my eyes first. I always liked her and admired her really exceptional beauty, even in old age, although she (according to her autobiography) had always felt that her looks had stand in her way in getting more substantial roles. Now she didn't make it to 102 as she had hoped for. Luckily her grandson and his family took lovingly care of her in her last years. May you rest in peace, Mrs. O'Hara.

Hard to believe that this woman starred in "The Hunchback Of Notre Dame" in 1939. If anything, she's even more beautiful 1959. I just love looking at her.
