Password episode from 1967

Here's a fun episode of TV's Password that aired in 1967, with guest stars Joan Fontaine and her Gunga Din co-star Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. When Joan is introduced by host Allen Ludden, I think she says, "How's Betty?" referring to Ludden's wife Betty White

In the beginning part of this clip, Joan  mentions she will be performing in "Dial M For Murder" at the Ivanhoe Theater in Chicago (postcard of the theater building below)

The theater building still stands (It still looks like a castle) but it is now a Binny's liquor store. 

Here are some pics of how it looks today:

Joan Shills for Bufferin

I wanted to share this fantastic commercial I posted on my own blog a couple of years ago:



Joan Fontaine is so elegant in this 1965 commercial for Bufferin. She makes pain relief sound fancy.

Joan's Guest Appearance on "The Love Boat" (1981)

This episode originally aired November 7, 1981 (Season 5, Episode 6: Chef's Special/Kleinschmidt/New Beginnings) Joan's segment was entitled "New Beginnings".

Joan plays Jennifer Langley who reunites with an old flame Stan (played by Richard Basehart) on the ship. They met in London during the war, as Jenny explains to Captain Stubing (Gavin MacCloud). Stan, who is now paralyzed, is reluctant to rekindle old memories.

The 2 clips below run a total of 15 enjoyable minutes. Joan and Richard are just wonderful. This was the first time they acted together.






Thanks to: KC of Classic Movies for sharing this on her blog (March 2010) and to the Joan Fontaine fan who edited the scenes together into two wonderful clips.
