Lisa Stephenson
This was a REALLY entertaining memoir by actress, singer, and game show panelist Kitty Carlisle Hart. She discusses her few movie appearances, ranging from the Marx Brothers' "A Night at the Opera" to Woody Allen's 1987 film "Radio Days".

She married somewhat late in life to Moss Hart, co-writer of many plays such as "The Man Who Came to Dinner" and "You Can't Take it With You", and director of Broadway plays "My Fair Lady" and "Camelot" They had 15 years together before his untimely death.

A grand autobiography of a truly grand lady. I remember watching television and having crushes on two performers. One was Kitty Carlisle and the other was Arlene Francis. Both were the very epitome of style, class, beauty and sophistication.
I knew very little of Miss Carlisle other than she was the widow and Broadway legend Moss Hart. Hers is an interesting story about a way of life that regretfully, we probably won't see again.
This is a quick, light and fanciful read for anyone with an interest

It was entertaining. No comparison to her husband's memoir but a nice adjunct to that book.

This is an absolute joy of an autobiography - especially when read in tandem with her incredible husband's book, "Act One" by Miss Hart. Best book on theatre ever written.

Especially liked the early life with mom in the 20's. Seemed like such a nice lady. Ended up years later seeing her one woman show.
