Singer, dancer and actress Eartha Kitt died on Christmas at the age of 81. She had colon cancer which was detected about two years ago and treated but recurred after a period of remission.
She was actually still performing until a about two months ago, and she had dates booked thru 2009. Through her career she had a string of awards including two Emmys and being nominated for a third, as well as a Grammy. She also had two Tony nominations.
Eartha was blackballed in the US for speaking out against the Vietnam War in the 1960s.
She was best known for her role as Catwoman in the 1960s TV series Batman.
I will always remember her as Lady Elouise in the Eddie Murphy movie Boomerang….
“Marcusssss….. I don’t have any panties on!!!”
We will miss you Lady Elouise.
