I friend sent me this in an email, so I thought I would share it with AW.

Hollywood Squares:

These great questions and answers are from the days when "Hollywood Squares" game show responses were spontaneous, not scripted, as they are now. Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions, of course..

A. Paul Lynde: Alice, and her mother's sick about it.
 
Oh Man! My sides hurt but in a good way!

I forgot some of those. Classic! All the stars were funny but Paul Lynde just had a delivery that was unmatched. I don't think a show like that would make it on TV nowadays since it seems people want raunch without the tasteful way these beauties were delivered. Thanks for the post!

About Paul

When I was sixteen,I went with my friend,Harry to a club in Baltimore called "Mary's".I was so excited as well as paranoid that I'd be caught by either fellow school mates or adults who'd recocgnise me and tell my Dad.That didn't happen but, Paul was in town on a tour.He was starring in a play at one of the theaters and went to Mary's to have a good time. He was so funny and deffinately a queen of choice. We watched him choose a person to pick on and after the many comments and ridiculous reactions he gave to those who were ariving down the stairs unaware of his presence ,were speachless.After his skitches,he'd buy a round of drinks for everyone there and pinch buts as they past by.He smoked like a chimney and,as funny as he was,he seamed very lonely.If I remeber correctly,he died from inhaling "poppers" and the individual who he was tricking with fled the scene.I always wonder how things would be had he not past away.
 
Side splitting humor...

That was great!

It's crying shame this kind of creative and witty talent has died off, never to return. Tv's best entertainment days are behind us.
 
how great

to be reminded of people like paul lynde and rose marie again! i can just hear them delivering those quips!

yes, television does not hold a candle to what it once was. all these reality shows and other assorted crap makes me yearn for what i used to watch!
 
I saw an interview with Rose Marie. She said that they filmed a whole week in one day. They would start drinking fairly early and by the end of the day the answers got crazy. Guess some of these were from Friday shows.

I was fortunate to know Paul Lynde. When I met my first partner in 1980, he had just moved out to L.A. from New York and was living with Lynde in Bev. Hills. When sober, Paul was quiet and charming. But with more than a few drinks in him he was usually morose and nasty. Not a happy drunk. His alcoholism extended back to not long after his own partner passed away in an accident in the mid-1960's. If you watch Paul's appearances on later episodes of Bewitched, he's usually crocked and slurring his lines. He also loved quaaludes and that didn't help the situation.

The poppers didn't kill him, but they probably triggered the heart attack that did kill him. It's tragic that whoever Paul was with that final night just left him to die.

Anyway my favorite line from his Squares days was this one:

Paul, everyone knows that when a man falls off a boat, you're supposed to yell "Man Overboard!". What should you yell when a woman falls off a boat?

"Full steam ahead!"

Here are a few nice shots of his home. John and I spent quite a few evenings helping him prepare meals in this kitchen.

 
Où sont les reines d'antan?

Those photos of Lynde in his kitchen bring back a lot of memories - not about Lynde specifically, because I did not know him - but about the grand old queens of yesteryear. They had style, they had flair, they had attitude, and they had a lifestyle that couldn't be beat. Even if they were junior clerks in a department store, they sported the best shirts, nicest suits and most expensive colognes. They may have lived in efficiency apartments, but they nonetheless had sufficient china, silver, crystal and linens of the best quality to entertain the Duchess of Windsor.

They threw great parties on no money to speak of, they had the courage of United States Marines when it came to society's prejudice against them, and they helped more than one young man whose family had just thrown him out on his ear for reasons I don't have to specify.

Sadly, most of the ones I knew are gone now, victims of a plague that could have been nipped in the bud, but was not. But they live on for me, in memory, where they're forever swaggering, gossiping, decorating and having a great time being themselves in a world that didn't know how to appreciate that yet.
