One of the better voice disguises I've seen, for the blindfolded panel of the show. She had a great sense of humor.

Rosalind Russell on “What’s My Line” Jan 5th, 1955

Fun facts: Rosalind Russel was born in Waterbury Ct. Me too.
Great! Thanks for the link and the info.
That was fun! Thanks for posting.
And as a side note, I miss those days. Back then, TV was just entertainment. No political messages. No social lectures. Just pure entertainment.
Very funny- she did great
there was a little politics, but it wasn’t overly mean and usually actually pretty funny regardless of what party one was- johnny carson would get a few quips in, but they were funny and mostly very respectful
That was good - when men were known as actors and women were known as actresses...something else that got turned upside down in this country - and probably in others!
My mom always gave a lot of the “credit” for that to Dr. Benjamin Spock. She was not a fan.
Best performance was in His Girl Friday with Archibald Leach.
Yeah, just Take Geritol and Buy Sominex. And Chesterfields.
I remember her playing a nun, Haley Mills may have been in it too.
Not gonna lie, when I was a kid she scared the Cheese whiz outta me.
Like Burl Ives.
Russell was great in “Picnic” also from 1955.
Russell was a registered Republican and supported Richard Nixon in the 1960 presidential campaign. She was also a devout Catholic.
