From a website devoted to the classic episodes of Hollywood Squares. Starting in 1966, RoseMarie usually occupied the center top row where she stayed for 14 years. Below are some of her classic lines from the show. 

There was once a memorable episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show in which Sally Rogers (Rose Marie) went on a late night, Johnny Carson-type talk show and asked the whole coast-to-coast audience...for a husband. That's how The Hollywood Squares fans remember her, too, because that was she pretended to do every morning...only she was slightly more raucous. If the Squares were a real party she'd be there looking for a man, not finding one, and then getting good-natured laughs and becoming the life of the party because of it.

Rose Marie Mazzetta was born in New York City in August 1923 and was established in show business no less than six years later. Belting out tunes as "Baby Rose Marie," she wowed movie audiences and NBC radio listeners as the Leann Rimes of her day (only younger). But even Baby Rose Marie had to grow up and so she did...only to re-establish herself as a character actress in the 1950s. Her numerous TV roles include regular spots on My Sister Eileen and The Doris Day Show. Rose Marie has the distinction of being the only regular to have appeared in both the first and last episodes and appeared throughout most of the run. She joined the show at a very difficult time in her life: her job on The Dick Van Dyke Show had just ended, and her longtime husband, bandleader Bobby Guy, had just died after a sudden illness. But she hid it well.

Outside her Square (usually top middle), she's best remembered as the man-chasing Sally Rogers on The Dick Van Dyke Show. Rose Marie has continued acting, appearing in shows like Caroline in the City (in an episode that also featured Dick Van Dyke Show and Squares co-star Morey Amsterdam) and Wings, and will soon join Peter Marshall in a touring revue called "Old Faces of 2001." And to answer the most frequently asked question about Rose...sorry, I don't know what that black hairbow is all about, either.
