As I've mentioned here before, there's a wonderful show every Wednesday night at a theater in Hollywood — a live re-creation of the classic game show, What's My Line? You can find out all about it here after you read this message I just received from Tom Michael…
Tonight I attended What's My Line? at the Acme Comedy Theater. I want to thank you for mentioning this event on your web site, and especially for plugging the current run. As I live in Montgomery, Alabama, this would otherwise have been totally off the radar to me. It's a delightful show in an intimate setting.
The panel went 0-4, missing the professions of a nice woman who sold cemetery plots, and a gentleman who balanced a ladder on his face for a living. Julie Newmar was the Mystery Guest, in honor of her appearance on the original show 45 years ago this week. (My God, she is tall! Even in flat shoes, she towered over everyone.)
Thank you for your wonderful website, and thank you again for plugging this show. If I get back in town during the current run, I will be trying to catch it again.
It's a great show and since it's different every week, you can go back again and again. I went last week when the Mystery Guest was Alan Rachins from L.A. Law. I wanted to get there last night because the producer, Jim Newman, tipped me off about the salute to our favorite holiday…a fact I couldn't mention here since at least one of the panelists reads this blog.
Ms. Newmar is quite tall — a little under six feet, I believe. If you're in the L.A. area this Friday or Saturday and would like to meet her and buy an autographed pic, she'll be among the many celebrity guests at the Hollywood Collectors Show out in Burbank. In fact, much of the cast of the Batman TV show — Adam West, Burt Ward, Yvonne Craig, Lee Meriwether and Julie — will be there. So will Richard Chamberlain, Jayne Meadows, Tab Hunter and many more.
