KITTY CARLISLE BEFORE THE HART

I never really knew who Kitty Carlisle Hart was until this morning. She was a mainstay on game shows when I was a kid and she was always given the star build-up as if I should know her. She was charming and seemed wealthy and refined but I couldn't really name anything she's been on besides To Tell The Truth . So imagi...ne my surprise when I turnd on TCM this morning to find her starring alongside The Marx Brothers in A Night At The Opera. And I think she did her own singing as the opera diva.



Their brand of comedy is insane.

Groucho: Do you have milk-fed chicken?

Waiter: Yes.

Groucho: Then squeeze the milk out of it and bring me a glass.

Anyhoo, I snapped a pic of Kitty the from the TV in case anyone else out there had never seen her as an ingenue.
