Liz Smith Channels Kitty Carlisle Hart

Liz Smith
My thighs have always pretty much taken care of themselves. A lot of things have disappeared as I have grown older and a lot of wrinkles and flab have suddenly appeared. But whatever I’ve lost, I still have great legs. As the late actress Kitty Carlisle Hart used to say as she showed her gams at age 90, "The legs are the last to go." Kitty had a good life motto. She looked at herself every morning in the mirror and said, "Kitty, I forgive you!"

Then…after I look at my face…I better look at my legs to know I still have something left to feel good about…like now!

You guys are lucky. I am  short and chubby. I have the legs of a toddler. Capri pants are the best invention ever!

I loved Kitty Carlisle Hart’s sense of humor and her sense of style. I never thought it was out of style. She was a gem.

RE: Kitty Carlisle Hart…One learns about her toughness , intelligence, humour and devotion by reading biographical material on MOSS Hart. And yes, I have read about her morning mirror ritual:"Kitty I forgive you." I was so impressed I suggested to an adult relative that he (using his own name, of course) adopt the same habit.
