Mary Hart was born in November of 1950 which makes her 56?

Last September I saw Kitty Carlisle Hart sing at a charity fashion show. The next morning I told my son I saw the woman who sang "Alone" in The Night at the Opera. He found it really hard to believe. I don't blame him!

Is Kitty still with us?

ET is my total secret, guilty pleasure. Don't watch as often as I used to, but did tune in last night. I had the EXACT same thoughts. The blouse was awful and SO shiny. She is what they call in the industry "a veteran".

Mary Hart causes epilepsy.

It's in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Scary.

I want to live as well, and as long as Kitty Carlisle - and to still be doing cabaret shows at 95? Steer me to her fountain of youth!

As for Mary's shiny, ruffle-y blouse - oh my. Before that appearance I still believed she was no more than 40. Mary... you are looking good.

DAMN YOU POPPY. Now I have that song stuck in my brain.

That just lost you all the ground you had gained, dowry-wise.
