That Certain Something: Arlene Francis, an Interview with her son Peter Gabel

All of the Classics

Peter Gabel grew up with not one but two notable celebrity parents. Arlene Francis and Martin Gabel. Both were actors on radio, Broadway, TV, and television. Today we focus on his beautiful and wonderfully talented mother, Arlene Francis. She is probably most well known now for appearing as a panelist on "What's My Line". She was one of the top paid female panelists, was the first woman host of "The Tonight Show"--before Joan Rivers, in the time in between Jack Paar and Johnny Carson.

Peter discusses his mother and his guest appearances on "What's My Line", where he stumped his mother every time.

Peter is not in showbusiness-- he is a notable academic in American law, writer and editor.
