That's my Grandmother!! She wrote a great book "Look Back and Laugh; Confessions of a Teen in the Thirties" - she died July 24, 2008. Loved by many. This was filmed when she was just starting in her career. She was a well-known "underfashions" model and even modeled the first diamond studded corset that had a worth of $1 million (looong before Victoria's Secret).

She seems to have had a great personality. So many guests just meekly say yes or no and Daly ends up taking over. But I don’t understand the book title. She can’t have been a teen in the 1930s, surely? Is it a different ‘Thirties’?

@@icturner23 thank you for your note, my grandmother was born in 1919...indeed a teenager in the 1930s - she was 34 at the time of this show recording.

I'm 23 and I've been watching clips of the show over the course of a week now (I'm still a bit behind) but I know one thing for sure: I wish I could go back in time and be on this show just to have a conference with Mr. Daly. I think he's absolutely adorable :)

@gkiltz0 I think it was, even into the sixties. I appreciate your take on the 50's. I wasn't there, bit WAS there in the 70's and I appreciate that you've said they were like the 70's. Never would have thought there were any similarities. I actually did love the 70's, so maybe I experienced a feel for the 50's and didn't know it! Love watching these clips and this show in general.

I guess one could argue that she does inspect the girdles if she wears them and washes them to see what's wrong with them before the customers get to buy the finished product.

How on earth could you make a living of THAT? I am a bit envious that even the tinniest jobs were enough to provide for at least one person whereas today many people struggle working hard in one or even two full time jobs.

@calalilygirl I don't remember the 1950s. I was born during Eisenhower's second therm. I grew up in the suburbs of a major city in the 1970s. Even those who lived them were sooooo glad when they were finally OVER!! the end of Vietnam, the oil embargo, the worst president of the 20th century!!! And nothing positive to focus on. When I was in high school, many girls still wore panty girdles under their jeans. Often the leg bands showed through.
