HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHIE LEE GIFFORD! BORN AUGUST 16, 1953!

Kathy Lee was born: Kathryn Lee Epstein in Paris, France to Joan Cuttell, a singer, and Aaron Epstein, a musician and former U.S. Navy officer. Aaron Epstein was stationed with his family in France at the time of Gifford's birth.Kathy Lee grew up in Bowie, Maryland.
KLG represented Maryland in America's Junior Miss Pageant in 1970.
KLG's career took off in the 1970s (during her first marriage to Christian composer/arranger/producer/publisher Paul Johnson) as a vocalist on the game show Name That Tune with Tom Kennedy. In 1978, she joined the cast of the short-lived Hee Haw spinoff, Hee Haw Honeys.Following her divorce from Johnson in 1983, Gifford met sports commentator Frank Gifford during an episode of ABC's Good Morning America; the couple married in 1986.
On June 24, 1985, she replaced Ann Abernathy as co-host of The Morning Show on WABC-TV with Regis Philbin. The program went into national broadcast in 1988 as Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee, and KLG became well-known across the country. Throughout the 1990s, millions of morning-TV viewers watched her descriptions of life at home with her sportscaster husband and their son (Cody, 23) and daughter (Cassidy, 20).
On March 31, 2008, NBC announced that KLG was to join its morning show, Today, as co-host of the fourth hour, alongside Hoda Kotb. This marked her return to morning television.
I personally want to say: Happy Birthday to Kathi Lee! You look amazing for 60! Your words of wisdom, anecdotes, wife wisdom including the marriage conundrums, while raising two beautiful children have paralleled my life.Let's have wine some day. Cheers & many, many more Birthday Celebrations to you! All the Best, Pam P.S. How can we get rid of the upcoming "turkey neck" with out surgery?
