The sisters were cast members of the 1944 Broadway revue Take a Bow. Theater and club appearances engagements that year included Washington’s Capitol Theater and Chicago’s Chez Paree, Chicago Theater, and Latin Quarter. In 1945, a never-published autobiography of the sisters was announced, to be "ghostwritten by their father" who was continuing to contribute musical and comedy material to their act. Performances continued in and around New York City in 1945 and 1946. Around the end of 1946, the sisters disbanded the act, leaving Kate (also sometimes billed as "Kate-Ellen Murtah") presenting a solo act of comedy and singing. Onstage, Kate—the tallest of the sisters—was distinguished by her height and physique. She stood in high heels, with measurements. She portrayed Melissa Tatum in the 1949 Broadway play Texas, Li'l Darlin. Television appearances, propelled by her appearance in Texas L’il Darlin’ included Zeke Manners’ show (1950) on WJZ-TV and The Billy Rose Show (1951) In the 1940s she pursued her painting hobby with seriousness, and in 1955 her one-panel comic "Annie and Fannie" was launched in syndication by New York's United Feature Syndicate. Murtagh appeared in films including Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), The Night Strangler (1973), Dirty O'Neil (1974), Switchblade Sisters (1975), Farewell, My Lovely (1975), The Car (1977), Doctor Detroit (1983) and Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992). On television, she portrayed Iona Dobson in It's a Man's World. She also appeared in other shows, including Daniel Boone, My Three Sons, The Munsters, I Dream of Jeannie, The Twilight Zone and Highway to Heaven. Murtagh is pictured on the front and back covers of the English rock band Supertramp's 1979 multi-platinum album Breakfast in America. On the front cover she is depicted as a waitress named "Libby", in front of a depiction of New York City, striking a pose similar to that of the Statue of Liberty, but holding a tall glass of orange juice and a menu rather than a torch and tabula ansata. Later years Murtagh retired from acting in 1999 and was in her last years a resident at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital (MPTCHH), in Woodland Hills, California, where she took classes in improvisation. She died at the MPTCHH on September 10, 2017, at the age of 96.
