Something i noticed on Password then, was that Lee Vines would whisper the passwords for the home viewers. Back then(1966), my grandmother's viewing consisted of Let's Make a Deal, Password, The Doctors(soap opera), Another World and You Don't Say. And the legendary announcers then- Jay Stewart, Lee Vines, Mel Brandt, Bill Wolff and John Harlan.
