Man...now there's a show I'd love to see! DAME, are you going to see it?

She was a theater star in the 1903's/1940's (one Marx brothers movie I remember her in was Night at the Opera). Then, she showed up on countless Game shows in the 1950's, such as What's my Line? and "To Tell the Truth.

She was married to Moss Hart, the playwright, and has been active in theater right up to...and including...yesterday.

There are two women whose very presence at an event in New York always make me smile and thank god I live here.

One is Kitty Carlisle Hart and the other is Betty Comden.

Whatever happened to class? They got it all.

Dude. She wrote those tell-all books about Nancy Reagan having an affair with Frank Sinatra and such, right?

No, actually, she was at the table next to me when I saw Carol Channing a few months ago (she and Stephen Spinella). She was quite nice.

Yes, Marquise. In fact, it does. When was the last time you even looked at your manual???
