Re: Lauren Hart
Lauren Hart is a second-generation Philadelphia broadcaster; her late father Gene Hart was the longtime play-by-play voice of the Philadelphia Flyers, and called the team's back-to-back Stanley Cup championship seasons (1974 and 1975) during the mid-1970's. The elder Hart's call of Philadelphia clinching their first-ever Cup in 1974 probably ranks as one of the great play-by-play broadcasts in Philly history.
I have heard one of Lauren's recordings; she's a great singer and if she had to make the choice between a fulltime career as a television personality and a fulltime career as a singer/musician, I think she made the right choice in concentrating on music.
Not that she wouldn't have been a great television personality; had she decided to go that route instead, I think she could have had a long and successful career in that field.
