Yet, she rose through it all.
Today, the television host, singer, songwriter, actress, author, and comedian has met success in the harsh world of Hollywood. But after the death of Frank Gifford, her husband of 29 years, in 2015, and then of her mother Joan Epstein in 2017, Kathie became withdrawn and was seen less and less in the entertainment world.
