The golden girl who time has never forgotten
It’s over 40 years since Kathy Kirby began the musical journey which was to make her one of the hottest properties in show business.
Today it’s over twenty years since the bubbly, blonde bombshell, with the trademark lip gloss and unique voice, sang in public.
It is a loss which her legion of fans have found hard to accept. She has become invitingly “Garboesque”, living quietly in London, but the interest in her has never dimmed, as sadly has the spotlight which shone on her and took her to the peak of her profession.
Dance On, Secret Love, I Belong, Let Me Go Lover and so many others, are still extremely popular on CD compilations and will be heard again on this site.
It is Kathy’s site. Built at her request and with her blessing, it is her way of saying to her many fans, in the words of one of her own favourite songs… “My Thanks to You”.
Secret Love
 We are pleased and proud to announce that the stage adaptation of Kathy's story is to tour UK theatres from May 9th 2008. This is a musical based tribute to a remarkable life told with sympathy. Despite the efforts of those with an ulterior motive at heart the show goes on, and we are sure that Kathy herself, if she was given the chance, would endorse it.
Star of the show will be Suzi Jari, an accomplished performer who has already played the young Dusty Springfield on the London stage and who performs tributes to Connie Francis and Brenda Lee.
"She was the star who filled theatres with her unique voice, trademark lip gloss and bubbling personality. Her television shows drew millions and she was hailed as “the golden girl of pop” and “Britain’s Marilyn Monroe”, with millions in the bank and a lavish lifestyle to match.
Today, a quarter of a century after she took a final curtain and hid from the world, Kathy Kirby still attracts the fascination, curiosity and admiration of a legion of fans old and new.
The truth of what really happened, both at the height of her fame, when she was the highest paid girl star in the UK, and up to the present day, will amaze you. The story of what really happened to Kathy Kirby, known to so few, can now be told.
She sang for her Queen and country. She was used and abused and held under a Svengali like spell by the man who discovered her. She went from the stage of the London Palladium to sleeping in a shop doorway.
She was a celebrity when the word was synonymous with talent and style. She lived the high life and plumbed the depths of despair, but unlike many she survived."
