editDoes anyone know: Why is the photo of Kitty in Die Fledermaus dated 1933 when the stage credit is listed as much later (1967)?
- I'm sure she played the role more than once: the 1967 date is her Metropolitan Opera debut, but probably not the first time she'd played Prince Orlovsky. (A woman often plays that role, as there are so few castrati available these days.). - Nunh-huh 04:36, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- There are no Castrati left in the world as castration is illegal except by a court order for sexual reassignment. What we have now are Counter-Tenors.
- I am pretty sure the comment about "so few castrati..." was said facetiously. I simply stated a fact...that castration is illegal unless a court approves it... .
Fair use rationale for Image:KittyC1.jpg
edit
Image:KittyC1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Moss Hart's birthdate is wrong
editMoss Hart was not born in 1946. I don't know when he was born, but if he was born in 1946 he would have been only 15 when he died. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.66.153.151 (talk) 09:24, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Like many people before you, you've been misled by our peculiar presentation of marriage dates. People expect a range of dates after a name to be birth and death unless otherwise stated, but for some reason our infobox mavens like to use ranges after names of spouses to indicate durations of marriages - I think it's probably overexposure to IMDB. I'll fix this one. What was meant is: Kitty Carlisle was married to Moss Hart from 1946 until 1961, when he died. Nunh-huh 16:22, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
How odd ....
editHow odd, that, according to this Wikipedia article, this person's life was just a blank during all of WWII. Starhistory22 (talk) 01:38, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- maybe she worked as a riveter building liberty ships for the war effort? how about, she was a wasp pilot ferrying combat planes around the country? ah, here's the real explanation: in her spare time in the 1930s, she was a nuclear physicist and was recruited to join the manhattan project... 155.190.17.7 (talk) 00:20, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Episode where she moderated "To Tell the Truth"....
editI remember an episode of "To Tell the Truth" where she moderated one of the sessions. I don't remember the full reason for it, but I think panelists who had an unfair advantage were expected to disqualify themselves. I suspect Ms. Carlisle had some inside knowledge of the subject at hand, but rather than disqualify herself, she simply traded places with the host, Garry Moore. That is, she moderated the session and he took her place on the panel. I think that would be a rather historic moment, since these panel shows were usually hosted by men.67.45.112.137 (talk) 16:50, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

“No such number” tones
editI just spent some time tracking down a claim that Kitty Carlisle was involved in the development of the Bell System’s “No such number” sound, and it seemed prudent to make a note of it here in case the confusion starts spreading. This claim appears to originate with http://elmercat.org/phone/kitty-carlisle/; that page doesn’t make it immediately obvious that it’s a joke, but I found a YouTube comment by (presumably) the same author, which explains:
The first time I ever heard that sound, it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard in my entire life! Admittedly, I was only three years old and got it by just randomly spinning the telephone dial.
I was making so much noise talking and laughing into the phone it got my mother's attention, so she ran into the room, demanding to know who I was talking to. I thought the noise sounded a little bit like a cat meowing, so I told her, "Kitty". Pressed for an answer when my mother asked, "Kitty who?", I told her it was Kitty Carlisle (a name which was probably in my head from hearing it on "To Tell The Truth" or "What's My Line").
My mother said, "Oh, it is not", and took the telephone receiver from my hand. When she heard the noise, my mother started laughing at it too! My two sisters took turns listening and also found it hysterical (perhaps not so much the noise itself, than my assertion it was Kitty Carlisle making the noise). Eventually my mother said to hang up in case my father was trying to call.
Everyone thought it was so funny, they agreed with me, it was Kitty Carlisle singing. Although I didn't get in trouble for playin' with the phone that day, I was warned not to call Kitty Carlisle again because Santa Claus might be watching.
