Eartha Kitt: 1927-2008

Iconic actress, singer, Broadway star, and all-around incredible lady Eartha Kitt passed away on Christmas Day at the age of 81. She was perhaps best known for her rendition of the popular Christmas song "Santa Baby," or her portrayal of Cat Woman in the campy 60's version of the TV series "Batman," but her career spanned much further than these cultural mainstays. She was a dynamic, intelligent, and sexy performer who spoke four languages and sang in dozens, and left a legacy of amazing albums, films, and memorable performances. A one-of-a-kind singer with her own distinct and inimitable style, she dedicated her life to her art, and will be greatly missed.

Thanks for remembering Eartha. She gave a great show at Jazz Alley years ago.
