What's My (Horizontal) Line
By way of Terry Teachout, it's Frank Lloyd Wright appearing on What's My Line:
I have nothing profound to say on the subjects of architecture, the death of the middlebrow (one of Terry's pet subjects) or, surprisingly, megalomania. Instead, I'd just like to point out those amusing little sequinny-buttony things the producers added as decoration to the perimeter of the female panelists' blindfolds. A little detail no one would even think to use today.

I had never seen or heard of this before -- thanks for posting it. One thing I learned from this clip is that Frank doesn't seem to be able to give a yes or no answer to any question. Also, I had not quite realized how super-famous he was in his lifetime. That must partly explain how they could guess his identity so soon.
