That was Eartha's finest hour---when she went to the White House and told the "rude" truth to Lady Bird Johnson at the epicenter of US power. Freedom of speech, evidently, is BEST when NOT practiced, I suppose. We want puppets to repeat what the powers that be want the gullible public to hear--and nothing else!

OMG - These two women are so powerful and beautiful!!

What a beautiful woman ❤❤

She was a class act. ❤❤

EARTHA WAS A DOLL!!!!

The opener "The Heel", composed by Léo Ferré and originally made famous in the French version "L'homme" by Catherine Sauvage in 1953 is simply beyond compare!

Eartha is an absolute legend and inspiration.

Wow....Amazing interview....I knew she was unique but I was a child. Listening to her life of pain makes her rise to stardom even more amazing.....What an amazing woman.....

My only celebrity icon, words can't describe how much I love her!

I was appalled the audience did not feel compelled to afford our National Treasure Eartha Kitt😒a standing ovation!!

Although this from 1990 Sally R irritated me to the 100th power by her approach in the interview aka continually digging information and then Not acknowledging what Eartha Kitt actually said ie blackmailed but Eartha Kitt said "White balled"

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Aww Eartha, your suffering is so relatable to me.😢 Rest well ! 🕊️

Why do you have Sophia Loren, and then Diana Ross photos in this video? ? Bit of a mix-up on sourcing eh? Good video though; not bad to other docu-vids done on her.

Wow she is amazing

@7:57 WHO KEEPS COUGHING? 👿

Eartha May ❤❤❤ Rest In Power

What's the name of the background song during Rupauls entrance?

whoopi was so fine🥰

why does the interviewer care so much about her dating/men history??? we want to know eartha. not the men around her. wish the interviewer cared more about who she was

She was fighting for survival, God bless Eartha!

The crowd work was amazing. She was like if you live in NY or Florida you are obligated to speak Spanish hahahahha

eartha has such a presence about her. truly was a fascinating character ❤

Unparalleled & Unforgettable. The incomparable Ms. Eartha Kitt! ❤

Thank you for spreading awareness. Stay safe.

So when I hear darker skin black women and lighten skin fued with each other..let you see that they have caused colorism within our community when all of our ancestors black brown or light were oppressed..

Thank you for sharing inspiration.

Only in Amrica

Please never remove this video.

when people assume that her accent or way of speaking was melodramatic and insincere, that assumption speaks to one of the reasons why she left the States and stayed away for so long..her leaving didnt have everything to do with LBJ blacklisting her. She just fell completely out of love with the US. Her accent was the result of her living in so many different places in Europe, the UK among them, while speaking 3 languages, fluently. The same thing is true of Grace Jones, who speaks with a British accent, often times...but speaks 6 different languages, fluently.

What a lovely lady.

Either Kitt looks like Stephen kings it.

She said "make sure you do the same to my grandchild"❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🥰🥰🥰

Beautiful mother and daughter!❤

Outstanding 🎉🎉Triumph personified!!🎉🎉

Batman has the best reunions

Best tv show ever

❤

Definitely compliments to the pianist. He’s also really good too!!

You have become greatly accepted, an international legend ❤

Eartha❤

Isn’t it disgraceful how some fellow beings can be . What a beautiful talented lady .. thank you for telling us your life story. 🙏😍

How sad that Mrs. Kitt is gone …I was and is a fan of her …God bless her spirit…

I am in tears hearing her story. I never knew this about her. It is interesting that she was treated poorly bc she was lighter when for so long lighter skinned people have been told that they have it easier bc they are "light, bright, and damn near white." This is so baffling. Nothing but a demons pervaded those humans who raped, murdered, and verbally/emotionally/mentally abused other humans bc of the color of her skin. For her mother to have been raped and then to die that way is so horrible. This story is so horrific. All Sally could say was, "Fascinating insight to a time and a place." I would have been speechless and in tears.

That's why ppl can't get past this...

We had a silver cup bread bakery factory here in Detroit back in the 1950's & prior. It was a huge brick building on E. Vernor & Chene street. My grandma went to school across the street at Miller High & used to talk about the smell of fresh bread. It was abandoned for many years & burned down in 1989. The site now is a nursing home.
