A Tribute to Arlene Francis (Kazanjian) "the First Lady of Television"
Featuring What's My Line? 1959, with special mystery guests
Jack Benny & Groucho Marx (60 mins)

Star of radio, stage, and the big & small screens, Arlene Francis (nee Arline Francis Kazanjian, 1907 - 2001) was the leading lady of television in the 1950's and 60's. She was the first woman to host her own radio show, and then tv show, and went on to host and star on many others. She starred in over 75 plays on and off Broadway. She was most famous for her 25 years on the panel of the game show What’s My Line? where she dis-played her elegant and urbane wit and style. She was the highest-paid TV panelist during the 1950's. Francis paved the way for generations of women in TV and served as a role model for working women.
