I had never watched the Mike Douglas show excerpt. (Well, I saw the original broadcast. I have never watched it on the DVDs.)
It got kind of nasty when Mike asked Janis Paige about the MGM of old and how glamorous it was, and she said she liked today (1976) and didn't live in the past which Ann Miller took tremendous offense to. (Ann had just been talking about how wonderful it had been to make movies back then.) Then, Janis looked over at Hermes Pan and said, "I've still got those bruises from that knee drop in SILK STOCKINGS.")
I actually think she was kind of irked because she had been the last of the stars there that Mike asked a question of. Fred, Jane Powell, Debbie Reynolds, Nanette Fabray, Ann, Hermes had all talked a long time before he got to her standing there with the rest of them.
