I got off from work an hour early, somewhat unexpectedly, and I got to hear Coast to Coast on the radio while driving home. I had a weird premonition that I was going to hear something that I would have missed otherwise. The guest was a guy who had written a book about Dorothy Kilgallen whose name rang no bells with me, but in my mind I suddenly pictured an attractive dark-haired woman; not really a raving beauty but attractive and with a memorable face. The guy said that he had no intention of writing a book about her but it was as if Dorothy was guiding him from beyond the grave. He was reluctant to talk about this aspect because he didn't want people to think he was a looney, but George assured him that on his show it was okay. He said that his only memory of her was on the TV game show called What's My Line? I remember watching What's My Line? when I was a kid, but I was born in '64 and Dorothy died in '65, and I have no conscious memories of her from that show. My parents divorced when I was five and I have no memories of What's My Line? until we moved to the poor side of the railroad tracks and my mom earned enough money to buy us a small black & white TV set. When I got home, the first thing I did after turning the computer on was pull up photos of Dorothy Kilgallen, and damn if she didn't bear a disturbing resemblance to the woman I envisioned while listening to the radio. Of course, this can be easily explained scientifically, right? I saw her photo and heard her name somewhere in the past and forgot all about it, and hearing the name again triggered the subconscious image, right? Yeah, I can't prove that didn't happen, but neither can anyone prove it is what happened.

Pretty interesting experience that you had there. I caught this same episode the night that it aired. I knew a little of it beforehand, but I heard a short blurb on the story a few months back before it aired. So I learned who Dorothy Kilgallen was, and that she was a regular on What’s my line, also before my time, as I too was born in 1964.

Pre-1964 must have been an interesting time in which to live; almost as interesting as the times we live in now.

That's her, M. That's the woman I saw! The man who wrote the book about her said that after Melvin Belli heard of her death his first words were, "They got Dorothy. They're going to go after Jack Ruby next."

How does anyone still listen to Coast to Coast AM when George Noory hosts it and the fill-in hosts are even worse than him?
