COUPLE #1: Bert Stewart / Dora Hill (*), mayor of Newport Beach
COUPLE #2: Joan Rosenthal, public relations consultant / Bill Early, cattle buyer
COUPLE #2: Indra Devi / Carol Hall, of "Boys' Republic"

* Amazingly, her first name is never once mentioned on the program; she's referred to only as Mrs. Edgar R. Hill, or Mrs. Hill. Quite typical of the times, quite remarkable today. I only discovered her first name by doing a web search myself. Fortunately, as the first female mayor of Newport Beach CA, she was famous enough to find!
