oh my god, you need to hear her classic 50s/60s recordings. she really was the grace jones of her time, and even that comparison doesn't do her justice because she was every bit as elegant as she was provocative. | |

The one who left the stronger impression on the Catwoman role was Eartha Kitt, whether she's the 3rd, 4rth and 10th Catwoman.
Kidsgirl(and the rest of you Eartha fans), you need this movie in your life... 
She was truly CUNT DIVA in it    | |

Both are REAL flamboyant women. When Earth was asked whether if Mrs.Nat King Cole was threatened by her fling with the Cole(in the late 50s), Eartha gave the interviewer the STONEST evil eye, looked down on her nails and then gave the SLIEST grin you ever saw on somebody, and said "no comment". No comment or not,,,,she just said it all 
Eartha is def bad, she gave the 1st lady a REAL piece of her mind and left her crying after that(when she got asked about sending the youth to get killed in Vietnam), she couldn't find work in USA after that. | |

I've also heard "Santa Baby" every Christmas which was from around that time period. It sounds great and I love her attitude also. If her other stuff from that era is similar, it's some good stuff.

If her other stuff from that era is similar, it's some good stuff. it's very similar. as mentioned already, her song "i wanna be evil" is deliciously naughty and camp, especially for its time. you can find inexpensive eartha best-of anthologies at any wrecka stow. it's a good investment. | |

Yeah I heard about that. She attended a White House luncheon and embarassed the First Lady (Lady Byrd Johnson?) with that question. Word is she got blacklisted and had to move to France to keep working. Loved her in "Boomerang" also! By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Eartha Kitt ... I loved her as catwoman, and in Boomerang and now my kids love her as Yzma in the Emperor's New Groove & Kronk's New Groove movies.

Earth is the older version of Diana Ross.
Both came from the gutter, but seeing how refined and dignified their demeanour is, you wouldn't guess it | |

Contrary to her flamboyant image, she's a down-home kinda gal. But when she unleashes the monster,,,,,HEADS UP
But she used to be rough back in the broadway days in the early 50s,,and who wasn't? Hell, a black female entertainer had to be if she wanted to command respect. | |

Part of the typical broadway character is being over-the-top,,,but I agree, she's(was) absloutly gorgeous without make-up...  | |
