"Then you'll know I'm gone"

Kitty Carlisle Hart to her piano accompanist:

"When I die and there's a memorial service, I want you to go to the piano and play 'The Man I Love' in my key. If I don't come out on that stage, then you'll know I'm gone.”

From an article on the memorial service for Miss Carlisle:

Hart Was Doyenne of the Arts and Showbiz (New York Times)
