Eartha Mae Kitt [January 17, 1927 – December 25, 2008] was an American actress, singer, and cabaret star. She was perhaps best known for her 1953 Christmas song "Santa Baby". Orson Welles once called her the "most exciting woman in the world."] She took over the role of Catwoman for the third season of the 1960s Batman television series, replacing Julie Newmar, who was unavailable for the final season.
Diva, dream woman, or femme fatale? Eartha Kitt was a little of each and certainly did not need to worry about her image. No lesser man than Orson Welles summed up her extraordinary talents in the fields of dancing, singing and performance: for him she was the most exciting woman alive.
"That Bad Eartha", her second album, which appeared in the same year as her debut record, should doubtless be regarded as her most memorable. Just like the first, it catapulted Eartha into the charts among the 'top five' and contained the most important titles of her entire career such as "I Want To Be Evil", "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" and "Under The Bridges Of Paris" which she sang in two languages. When you listen to her intimate and supple rendering of "C’est Si Bon", her signature tune, you simply cannot believe that you are listing to an American singer! Each and every one of the twelve numbers is an absolute hit, and so there’s only one conclusion to be made: this lady is missing in the collection. Let’s Do It!
