Barbra Streisand
I made sure to get Streisand's comment to Mike Wallace in 1961 exactly right. I have copied it exactly as you can hear it on the audio clip in the Streisand archives web site, which I have cited.

Barbra Streisand
Broke up the long paragraph and clarified that it was Streisand's older brother, not Diller's, who obtained the kinescope from NBC for a fee.

Barbra Streisand
Added two paragraphs of Streisand's early TV talk show appearances. Please feel free to edit them or chop them down. Go ahead.

What's My Line?
Fixed spelling of Mickey Cohen and made a link to his Wiki article. Removed one of the two uses of "because" about Daly refusing to have Wallace on the show.

What's My Line?
The reference to Lloyd Gross was an error. If you check Gil Fates' book, which is used many times as a source here, you see that Gross directed the soundbite interviews but didn't work with kinescope

Janis Joplin
→Solo career: In order to make "these omissions of her singing at the festival" make sense, I added the omission of Joplin from two Woodstock soundtrack albums.That they omit her was/ is relevant.

Janis Joplin
I reworded the paragraph that introduces Joplin's connection to Dick Cavett. Emphasized that she made her network TV debut on his daytime variety show.Her later Cavett gigs were on his nighttime shows

Dorothy Kilgallen
Added footnotes for the very first paragraph's claims that Dorothy's sister Eleanor helped careers of James Dean and Kim Cattrall. Under "Career" added foonote for "Georgian brownstone." Thank you.

Date for Cincinnati Enquirer should be in the American format because it's an American newspaper. It has its own Wikipedia article.

Dorothy Kilgallen
Sentence about Eleanor Kilgallen in the chapter "After death ..." needed some work. Other edits were mostly fixing footnotes. Fixed ref to 'Richard."

Alright, I agree to omit Kilgallen witnessing filming of "Sound of Music," but the "Death" and "After death" legacies were fine before you reverted them. They were there for a long time.

I've Got a Secret
→Episode status: Changed "a" to "the" Samuel Seymour / John Wilkes Booth episode. It was referenced in an earlier paragraph. Clarified that "Line" kinescopes were in film when damaged -- no video
07:0807:08, 2 January 2008diffhist+39
What's My Line?
I reworded Candice Bergen's relevance to understanding the destruction of several episodes chosen randomly from the 1950 - 1967 period. Let's leave in Marian Anderson, too. Think Black History Month.
05:4405:44, 2 January 2008diffhist−32
What's My Line?
I removed the tag about no references. Now there are many references. Many come from a book by Gil Fates. That's the only book written by any of the show's staff, all dead now.
04:5004:50, 2 January 2008diffhist+11,033
What's My Line?
Explained that the loss of kinescopes (April 1967, June 1967, etc.) destroyed ordinary folks in addition to famous actors. Added footnotes and other stuff under U.S. radio, etc. Added footnotes.Thanks
