In a week that certainly hasn't been filled with good news, we got another sad notification today. Kitty Carlisle passed at age 96. I wrote about her a few weeks ago, lamenting that she was shockingly left out of GSN's tribute to women in game shows (while Anne Robinson somehow made the cut). Kitty was an absolute pro, a woman whose charm and beauty were beyond compare. And she was by far the smartest panelist on To Tell the Truth, exceeding probably even the great Bill Cullen.

Each time a legend like Kitty or Arlene passes, it's a sad reminder how few of the true legends are left among us. Luckily for us, thanks to the forethought of Mark Goodson, the many times Kitty graced the screen are preserved for us to watch in the future.
