Kitty Carlisle quotes about
But I think television had more of a, of a, of an influence on my life, than the movies, because with television you came into somebody's home.
They were make believe, and they were the world that people didn't have, but that they wanted, and that's why they were so popular.
So in those days, they were scooping up any young person who could sing and look decent, ah, at the same time.
The next thing that happened to me was that I, we, were living in Paris where I then grew up.
I was born in New Orleans, and I wasn't allowed to go to the movies.
I was near sighted. I was born myopic, and I got glasses, right after that.
TV cameras seem to add ten pounds to me. So I make it a policy never to eat TV cameras.
