About Faces is an American game show that aired from January 4, 1960, to June 30, 1961, created by Ralph Edwards.[1] The host was Ben Alexander and the show's announcer was Tom Kennedy.[2]
Gameplay
Competitors were selected from the studio audience.[3] Each pair of contestants was challenged to recall how the two of them had come into contact with each other previously. The first to do so won a prize. The program was similar to Place the Face.[4]
For guest stars who appeared on the program, Alexander interviewed the star briefly before a "mystery person out of the star's past" was shown inside a picture frame. The star then heard a series of clues to help him or her identify the person in the frame.[5]
Schedule and production
About Faces was broadcast from 1 to 1:30 p. m. Eastern Time Monday through Friday.[6] The show was recorded on videotape.[7] After the show's run on ABC ended, its reruns were broadcast in some local markets.[8] Joe Landis was the producer and director.[9]
Guest stars
Guest stars who appeared on the show included Barbara Nichols,[5] Joan Blondell,[10] Rosemary Clooney, Jose Ferrer,[11] and Olaf Odegaard.[12]
Episode status
The UCLA Film and Television Archive lists among its holdings the premiere episode with Zsa Zsa Gabor, Red Schoendienst (and family), Fred Haney, and Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan.[13] The March 17 edition exists on YouTube with Tom Kennedy as substitute host.[14]
The Paley Center for Media lists among its holdings the series pilot, taped May 6, 1959. Ferrer and Clooney are listed as the celebrity guests for that episode.[15]
