Looking through newspapers.com, Allen Ludden hosted these “Stop Arthritis” telethons every year from 1976 to 1980 in late January or early February. Wayne Rogers was a regular participant as well. The only year when Susan Blakely was mentioned was 1977 (LA Times, 2-5-1977, page 27). If that’s the correct year, Rosalind Russell’s photos were there to memorialize her; she had suffered from rheumatoid arthritis in her later years and advocated for research and funding.

Who’s the lady in the middle? At first glance I thought it was Elizabeth Montgomery.

My money's on Susan Blakely.
The more I look, the more I believe you're right.

BTW, I should have pointed out that this is actually a "Getty Fail" and also discourage you from buying from this seller for anything.  This Australian seller merely steals the smaller, un-watermarked images off the Getty Images pages and sells them as his own.  So what you would receive is, in the first place, blatantly ripped off, and in the second place, an 8x10 blowup of a relatively small jpg, so you can just imagine the quality.  Even in the listing you can see how low-res his copy is.

But anyway, it's a Getty Fail because that's how Getty identifies the two stars  The seller just copied that information too.

Never been a fan of $1 upbidders

Me neither, and worse than most are those who (a) do it when they’re not the last bidder or (b) hoot and holler for themselves as if they’ve done something noble.

The specific contestant I recall rooting against was on a TPIR cancer show. A young woman whose hair hadn’t filled back in bid, then a snippy woman smugly bid $1 more. As if rung by the Lord, we then heard the exactly-right bell. The young woman won. She was emotional. I almost wept. And the smug woman with six shots at it never made it on stage.

Is the framed picture of Rosalind Russell?

The one over Allen's left shoulder (slinky black dress) is definitely Russell.  It's from Auntie Mame.  I'm not convinced all four posters are of her.  The telethon lived and breathed "old-school Hollywood glamor."  Jane Wyman was a long-time host and chairman.  These could be lots of different stars.  They also might be all Russell, I'm just not sure.
