As Catwoman on the 60's version of Batman. She was totally sexy, captivating and campy, all at the same time. Only Michelle Pheiffer comes close to Eartha in that role.
I have two. One is for her voice work as Yzma - she got Daytime Emmy for that. The other was for a guest appearance on I Spy as drug addicted Angel. She really should have been nominated for a Golden Globe for that
articulate, talented woman ... and very open - how many people could sit down in front of a roomful of strangers and say 'I've had this tremendous desire to be loved, but not because I exist ..."
This is one of the strongest and most intelligent ladies I’ve ever heard speak.
Really need to read her book. What a completely wonderful person she is.
I've noticed that brilliant and talented people have a very specific way of talking. Many breaks between words and a certain thoughtfulness.
She could’ve easily been a public motivational speaker!
Love Eartha Kitt! Went to see her for my 30th birthday at The Cafe Carlyle.
She wished me a happy birthday and we had a blast! A night to remember.
My favorite Eartha Kitt is Eartha Kitt herself! ❌⭕️

The great tragedy is people want to have children when they have no reality about raising a child or guiding a child.
💯 and it’s rampant. But the problem is all our ancestors passed on all their issues/behaviours/traits to the next generation as no one had enough self awareness to try and stop the cycle. And considering people in the past had children quite young, they had no hope of true emotional intelligence and self inquiry. If I look at my personality/traits, I am literally a mixture of my parents; the way I respond, the way I react, what I do when I get angry, my generosity, my ignorance, my worrying, I am allllll my parents. And they would have picked up things from each of their parents and experiences too, so it’s just a snowball effect.
Goosebumps....
Tremendously articulate.
We all have that desire to be loved. We all have.
I love her more now!
That dress though ... legend
oh my god oh my god she was so so lovely .............................. rest in peace eartha kitt
My God. Lovely.
My favorite roll was catwoman
She had such a sweet, pretty, girly voice
Wow this is my first time seeing an interview of Eartha kitt. Smart and articulate woman. Very aware . Loved listening to her speak.
She's Regal 💎
The 50th anniversary of the Fischer Spassky match is this year, so it would be great if you guys could post Fischer's December 1972 appearance on the Dick Cavett show from after he won the match.
Thandie Newton could play her in a movie
She turned abandonment into independence and art.
LBJ did her dirty y’all.
He really did.💯
This woman is a Goddess
------------------------ she died never knowing her father's name .....favorite role....? Of course just being herself ..... no rehearsals no 100 takes to get it right.....
Yes she did die knowing her actual birthdate. A university's class did the research.
Not “Scary Beyond All Reason” here, bc she was not Yzma yet.
