About Faces

1 9 6 0 – 1 9 6 1 (USA)
138 x 30 minute episodes

This early ABC game show was broadcast live from Hollywood and featured contestants, chosen from studio audience members, placed opposite each other and presented with clues concerning incidents in their past lives.

The player first to correctly associate his relationship with the person opposite him was the winner and received a merchandise prize.

A segment for home viewer participation was called “Place the Face”. Viewers chosen via a postcard drawing were telephoned and asked to identify the silhouette of a famous celebrity. If the viewer was correct, a merchandise prize was awarded.
