One of Good Housekeeping's most admired women in America, Kathie Lee Gifford is an entertainer, humanitarian, wife and mother: Every weekday, she shared her secrets for surviving it all with millions of viewers as the co-host of the popular morning talk show "LIVE with Regis & Kathie Lee." At the age of 14, Gifford's professional singing career began when she and her sister organized a folk group called Pennsylvania Next Right. They gained experience in various aspects of the music business booking gigs, arranging the music and making costumes.

At 17, Gifford won Maryland's Junior Miss title, and the national competition's Kraft Hostess Award, which included the opportunity to do a paid commercial. After high school, she studied communications, drama and the arts in college, then headed straight to Los Angeles at the age of 20. While Gifford was visiting a friend on the set of the daytime soap "Days of Our Lives," a producer happened by and asked if she could act. For the next year, she played a minor character known as Nurse Callaghan. While a regular on "Days," she continued her work in-commercials (often singing the jingles) and has shot numerous network television pilots.

In 1977, Gifford became the featured singer on the game show "Name That Tune," and later, she co-starred in the musical situation comedy "Hee Haw Honeys," a spin-off of "Hee Haw." Gifford's nightclub career skyrocketed as- a result of her exposure on "Name That Tune," giving her the opportunity to display her talents as the opening act for such headliners as Bill Cosby, Rich Little and Bob Hope. After spotting her guest hosting on "A.M. Los Angeles" (Regis Philbin's old show), the producers of "Good Morning America" offered her a job. Soon she was serving as substitute anchor for Joan Lunden and traveling more than a quarter-million miles a year as a special correspondent covering human-interest stories.

Three years later when the position as Regis Philbin's co-host on "The Morning Show" became available, Gifford auditioned with a Bevy of others. From the first moment she sat on the stool next to the veteran "talkmeister," it was obvious that Gifford was the natural choice for the job. When the show debuted in
syndication in 1988, its name was changed to "LIVE with Regis & Kathie Lee" to reflect the growing popularity of the co-hosts. Gifford has been Emmy-nominated 7 times for her co-hosting effort.

Kathie Lee devotes much of her time outside the studio to numerous charitable causes, including Variety Club International's "The Children's Charity" and the Association to Benefit Children, which spawned the Cody Foundation. The resources from the Association continue to support Cody House and Cassidy's Place. These facilities provide shelter and care to H.I.V.-positive and crack-addicted children. Gifford also lobbied New York State Governor George Pataki in support of regulations allowing H.I.V. testing and treatment of newborns, while maintaining confidentiality standards. She received the National Conference of Christians and Jews Irving Feld Humanitarian Award as a tribute to her commitment to bettering the lives of others.

In an effort to provide her favorite non-profit charities with a continuing source of funding, Gifford has developed a clothing line, the Kathie Lee Collection at Wal-Mart, and has written a best-selling book with her 5-year-old son, Cody, titled "Listen to My Heart." She has also written a Christmas book titled "Christmas with Kathie Lee," the royalties from which are donated to Childhelp USA, an organization that helps combat child abuse. Most recently, Kathie Lee Gifford and Lenox Brands have joined forces to raise money for Cassidy's Place through the sale of a holiday ornament specially designed by Gifford, Cassidy and Lenox Brands. Kathie Lee Gifford has also lobbied for the eradication of inhumane working conditions of garment workers
