Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 In case you missed hearing this in the news last Thursday, August 16: Kathie Lee Gifford yesterday revealed for the first time that she quit her famous morning TV job with Regis Philbin in 2000 to be with her dying father. " My daddy was dying, and I was not comfortable making it public, " Gifford says. " I had a very personal reason for not going through yet one more painful experience in a public way. " Gifford says her father, Leon Epstein, was suffering from a progressive brain disease similar to Alzheimer's called Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). (Her father died in 2002.)
