The Widow Gifford on thriving in her 70s and how faith saved her from Hollywood despair

"I can't breathe without Him, and never had a day in my life when I thought I could. I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful that I came to that kind of faith early on in life. I don't know what I would have turned out to be in Hollywood if I hadn't been rooted in my faith. Right, wrong, immoral, moral. I mean, it saved me from a lot of despair."

She's been named a new ambassador at QVC.

Is that haircut age appropriate?

She's only 71? I know we're used to people with plastic surgery, but damn - get the iron out and put it on HIGH steam!

She looks dryer than a popcorn fart.

I don't understand why people do face-lifts but leave their neck alone.

Whenever I think about her, I think about how Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales (RIP) used to "review" her Christmas specials and produced some of the greatest copy ever:

What’s the difference between the 24-hour flu and a Kathie Lee Gifford Christmas special? Twenty-three hours. 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.

“Kathie Lee: Home for Christmas,” Kathie Lee Gifford’s second annual CBS Christmas special, is perhaps even worse than her first — a sickeningly saccharine vanity production that should really have been titled “O Come, Let Us Adore Me.” That ghastly Gifford grin, ear to ear and back again, seems steeped in self-esteem and almost blinding in its show biz phoniness.

Kathie Lee Gifford sings songs like she’s mad at them. What did they ever do to her? Maybe she was frightened by a song as a child. And by Christmas, too, because each year on television she wreaks a bit more revenge.

She looks so young because she takes Balance of Nature™️! And does jazz hands at the piano after a hard day's work on her farm!

Because for some reason, you can't alter necks. I've never understood why, but I know it's so.

R8 - Whew! Thanks for posting that. Now THAT is some pointless bitchery! SOOO good.

Aerobic grinning? saccharine vanity production "O Come, Let Us Adore Me", she sings songs like she's mad at them?

I want to sit next to that author at dinner. That's some talented bitchery right there. 10/10
