I hear you, r19. A few years ago, my partner, older than I am stopped going to funerals. He's a shrink. Between a few suicides and his peers passing on, he didn't want to face it. I'm practically at the point of not attending funerals. I know they'll be coming up. I'll observe on my own, send the sympathy notes, but I can't take the the rest.
Back to Frank, what a surprise. Never thought of him being elderly. Certainly, a most handsome athlete. Seems like yesterday. Really, Kathy Lee must be devastated, but it is difficult to look after the well being of a much older spouse. Yes, she had all the help in the world. Yet, I'm sure they were devoted.

@61, I remember when Frank was unfaithful to Kathie Lee. The tabloid the Globe set him up. It was the worst (best) sting. First, there was an issue showing the "other woman" (a Ginifer Flowers type looking blonde, big rack, of a certain age) leaving a hotel, then they showed Frank near the hotel, and said they had been there together. It appeared that was all The Globe had, so Gifford's press agent issued d a denial. NEXT issue, the Globe said, well, we didn't want to do this, but Gifford called us liars, so, sadly... and BOOM. They'd wired the other woman and there was a camera in the room. It was so mean, baiting him, then dropping the boom. I remember reading the transcript aloud to my mom. It was hilarious, and so awkward. He said he hadn't been with another woman in ten years (more or less since Kathie Lee). There was a sort of verbal scuffle between them - she didn't want to cross the room because she was self-conscious about her ass, he didn't want to take off his jacket when she asked cause he was self-conscious about his gut. He admired her (still clothed) huge boobs. They obviously didn't know each other too well and the small talk was terrible and self-conscious.
Kathie Lee had been insufferable before. "Some day your Frank will come." But I think she ended up handling it well. HE once said nobody appreciated how humiliated he'd been. So, even though I wasn't a huge fan of hers, I ended up respecting her. I think she didn't hold it over his head forever, they got counseling, they got over it and moved on, and he was grateful. I don't think it wrecked the marriage. It seems to me they worked through it, she sucked it up, and that ended up making her more popular, both with whatever fans she has and with her husband.
I do remember when reading the first Globe issue that it really was fishy. I'd have bet there was another shoe they were going to drop - it totally read like that. I guess Frank missed it and told his people to deny it, but it was pretty obvious something like a sting was in the works.

Does anyone else remember Tom Shales' reviews of her annual Christmas specials? They were brutally bitchy.
[quote]The actual title for this year's exercise in false piety, faked sentiment and aerobic grinning was "Kathie Lee Gifford: Christmas Every Day," an appalling prospect any way you look at it. This is the kind of television to be watched not from the couch, as it were, but while peering out from behind it and using it as a shield, as if perhaps an air raid or some other sort of massive bombing were in progress.
[quote]There's nothing like being lectured about the real meaning of Christmas by a heavily coiffed Vegasy diva wearing a bare-shouldered black evening gown and braying into a hand-held microphone. Said guest Pam Tillis, accurately, to Gifford: "You are bad. Look at you." Tillis's face bears at least a slight resemblance to Hillary Rodham Clinton's, an appropriate name to drop since both Gifford and Clinton have suffered the public embarrassment of hubbies who famously philandered. Gifford's husband, Frank -- rolled out onto the stage in his usual quasi-mummified state -- was videotaped in a hotel room with a 46-year-old former flight attendant in 1997.

I read the Hoda and Kathie Lee page in the Daily News on Thursdays. Kill me but I find it entertaining. From reading it in the past year I got the impression Frank was around 97 (I was pretty surprised it was *only* 84), Kathie Lee pretty much had dinner every late afternoon at 4:30pm and Frank was beddy bye at 7:30 or so. She mentioned they did lunch, not dinner. She was always "we" when she discussed their geriatric schedule, but you have to figure it was him. I just felt he was ancient, and hadn't been really present for awhile.

R134, I agree, his infidelity was probably the best thing that ever happened to her. She was so insufferable before, at least her public persona.
Privately, I know she and Frank paid their bills on time, at least they did in the 1990s, without a lot of fuss, delays or games, which makes them a little unusual, believe it or not. I cut them both some slack because of it. Back in the 1990s, pre-affair, she had the reputation of clinging onto him whenever they were in public, sort of like "this is mine." I think after that she kind of was que sera, sera about it, while he was eager to re-commit, so it worked out for them.

she would always joke to Hoda that she couldn't believe Frank had lived this long. im just happy that he got to see his 100 percent straight son play college ball like his dad, while transitioning into a movie critic and pro baller who is buds with zac efron. Frank got to see his little girl become the next scream queen actress as popular as jamie lee curtis. she made about 5-8 mil per year at her max with regis, plus her endorsements, but now makes about 2 mil on today show, hoda making 950k per her words on air accidently kelly ripa is making 20-23 mil per year allegedly wjile strahan is around 5-7. just think regis who was at 17mil wanted a raise to 20 but left when they said no. heck gelman makes about 4-5 mil as a producer allegedly only cause he was good negotiator percentage of show profits.
