Betty White/Password Question

(1/4) > >>

cmjb13:
Was she the only person to appear on all 4 versions? (B&W, PW All-stars, P+, and SP)

Matt Ottinger:
Offhand, I'd bet that Patty Duke and Vicki Lawrence did all four versions as well.  (I don't believe Carol Burnett ever played Super Password.)

Keep in mind, though, that when you refer to \"all four versions\" as being B&W, All-Stars, P+ and SP, you're leaving out three years of color shows on ABC before they changed the format to Password All-Stars.  In terms of recognizing distinct \"versions\" the way we do with Hollywood Squares, I'd be inclined to consider the entire 1971-1975 ABC run as one \"version\" despite the rather radical format and title changes near the end of the run.  If you do that, there are probably some other names you could add (Tom Poston, for example).

 Vicki wasn't in the public eye when the CBS Password ended in 1967. Vicki's first appearance on a game show was probably Stump the Stars(AKA a revival of Pantomime Quiz) in the late 60s. Patty Duke is a possibility to have done all four versions.
I'm surprised Matt didn't think of Bill Cullen right off, who did all four versions, and I suppose Lucille Ball did as well.

I'm sure we're leaving someone else off this list.

Greg Morris, perhaps?

Jimmy Owen:
Nipsey?
