Dr. Radice's Statement on the Loss
of Kitty Carlisle Hart (1910 – 2007)
 WASHINGTON
(April 18, 2007)-- Kitty Carlisle Hart was a gifted entertainer
and committed arts advocate. “Mrs. Hart, Kitty to
all, had time for everyone. She was a personal inspiration
and was enormously kind to me. This is a profound loss
for our nation,” said Anne-Imelda Radice, Ph.D.,
director of the Institute.
Mrs. Hart received the National Medal of
Arts from the first President Bush in 1991 and served
for 20 years on the New York State Council on the Arts.
When not performing on Broadway, television or film, Mrs.
Hart served as an honorary trustee of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, amongst her
many other advisory and volunteer commitments. Mrs. Hart
will be greatly missed.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services
sends deepest condolences to Mrs. Hart’s family
and friends.
