[QUOTE=panache45] Right. And \*What’s My Line? \*was Arlene Frances, Bennett Cerf, Dorothy Kilgallen, and . . . sometimes Kitty Carlisle, sometimes Henry Morgan, or several others. And the host was John Charles Daly. Am I the only person who remembers Dorothy Kilgallen? [/QUOTE] No. JFK [conspiracists remember her quite well](http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/death4.htm). (These panel shows still come on late at night on Game Show Channel, btw.) ---

[QUOTE=panache45] Am I the only person who remembers Dorothy Kilgallen? [/QUOTE] Nope, I remember her quite well. And to make a correction regarding my earlier suggestion, Bennett Cerf was on _What’s My Line_, not _To Tell The Truth_ as I alluded to earlier. ---

[QUOTE=panache45] Am I the only person who remembers Dorothy Kilgallen? [/QUOTE] Nope. She was always my favourite on the panel. God, I miss GSN. 😕 ---

Polly Bergen was also a regular on _To Tell the Truth_. And after Bud Collier came Gary Moore. They should dim the lights on Broadway for Miss Kitty Carlisle. Wasn’t she something? ---

**Zoe** , have you seen the latest (I think) issue of _Vanity Fair_…the one with Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) with a nearly naked girl on his lap? There’s a very good (though small) article and pic of Kitty. She looked great and I had the impression she’d go on for years. It’s a real shame that she didn’t. ---

I actually clipped out the Vanity Fair picture - the article was called “Kitty Confidential” - I have it on my office bulletin board 😃 VCNJ~ ---

I guess now she’ll never marry Conway Twitty. ---

[QUOTE=The Sonoran Lizard King] I guess now she’ll never marry Conway Twitty. [/QUOTE] Well she has a better shot now than she did last week since they’re both in the hereafter. Perhaps in the hereafter she was greeted with “Hello Kitty… nice to see ya… it’s been a long tiiiiiiiiiiiime…” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kitty-carlisle-has-died-at-96/400676.md?page=2)
