Eartha Kitt with Nat King Cole in “St. Louis Blues” (1958).
Eartha Kitt, passed away today in Connecticut at the sexy age of 81. With all the awards and accolades, Ms. Kitt was very centered and dedicated to her art. She choose to remain true to herself and gave her all during performances. For me she will be the true Catwoman from the original Batman Series. Many performers have fashioned themselves after her but she remains a force to be reckoned with. She is survived by her daughter, Kitt Shapiro, and two grandchildren.
