Unconfirmed by news sources, but a poster on ATC is reporting that Kitty Hart died in her sleep last night.
Rest in peace.

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 4/18/07 at 2:12pmI'm very sad to hear that, if it's true. I spoke to her on the phone once when I was interning in a press office and she was lovely and cordial. A great lady.

Posted: 4/18/07 at 2:18pmOh. Just oh. A very elegant woman.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

She was the epitome of style and class.

She was such a huge part of the Broadway community.
A first-nighter from practically the first night.
I hope they dim the lights for her tonight, if this is indeed confirmed.

Posted: 4/18/07 at 2:33pmShe was a lovely lady - and really one of the last of a bygone era. Happily she stayed active and lucid right til the end. Hers was a VERY full life. God Bless her.

Posted: 4/18/07 at 2:36pmOh NO! God bless her. RIP.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

MB - that was exactly my thought - truly a signifier of the passing of an era. Her ties and experiences were really singular.
Brava on a life well-lived, and may the curtain call last forever.

Posted: 4/18/07 at 2:37pmI remember as a kid watching her on To Tell The Truth. I used to ask my mother why she didn't dress like Kitty Carlisle!!
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I saw her at Sardi's a couple of years ago -- looking elegant in a fur coat and heeled boots in the middle of a February snowstorm. I was more excited to see her than someone my age probably should have been, but she made my night of theatre-going complete.

Outwardly, she was quite classy, a fairly nice woman, but by no means a saint.
I remember helping her one night, this was recently, mind you, and she gave me a litany of things that are wrong with minorities in this country.
I was shocked, to say the least.
But she was a nice person to me, and to her 30 year old arm candy that night.

I last saw her in person at the discussion following the Encores! production of PARDON MY ENGLISH. Her stories of dating George Gershwin and attending opening nights with him were wonderful.
RIP Kitty
