It seems Pauline was 20 when she became John's Stepmum. about 5 years younger than John, I believe.

Recently I've been watching old clips of What's My Line? (1950s-60s). Everything about the show (the mannerisms, overwhelming whiteness, etc.) seems somehow prehistoric, so it's interesting to look up the panelists and guests to see which are still alive (ie, Chubby Checker, Joan Collins).

And John Cale!

Whenever I watch any thing of that era I can’t stop obsessively looking up what became of everyone. xpost

Actually John Cale was on I've Got a Secret I just remembered. The one with Betsy Palmer and Bess Myerson as panelists.

Wait, did you not watch the VU doc yet?
― The Door into Summerisle (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 13 January 2022 16:37 (two years ago) link
I did, that's where I saw the Cale appearance... it was just that when What's My Line? was mentioned I mixed up the two shows in my mind. Tbf they are very similar.

Her death, or why she was on the show to begin with?
― Sam Weller, Thursday, 13 January 2022 18:30 (two years ago) link
Is it because she didn't seem to have any footprint outside of this kind of show?

She was a syndicated entertainment columnist who later moved into some crime reporting and was an early skeptic of the Warren Report (supposedly why she died).

Specifically, Kilgallen was the last person to interview Jack Ruby. She claimed that she was going to break the JFK assassination "wide open" before turning up dead in her apartment due to a fatal combo of sleeping pills and alcohol.

I didn't really have a lot of thoughts about whether he was alive or not, I was much too young to be aware of him as a cultural figure, and the film character far eclipsed the real person in my mind, but I was surprised to see Frank Serpico posting on twitter.

Still with us, 93. He just popped up in the film, "Seven Days From Noon" earlier... that's "Seven Days From Noon" from 1950!
