I kick myself for all the years I lived in New York City while she was doing her one-woman cabaret act at the Carlyle Hotel and I never made a point of going over to see it. She was truly an American original. I have her autobiography entitled “Confessions of a Sex Kitten.” It is amazing.
We almost saw her at the Triple Door a few years ago, but she cancelled. We were heartbroken to have missed her — even moreso now. Always hate the ones who got away. Kitten, we hardly knew ye!
