R.I.P. Eartha Kitt
FUCK! Not today! This really did ruin my Christmas. Eartha Kitt, legend and icon, passed away today in NYC at the age of 81. On Christmas Day! She was seriously the best Catwoman ever.
Her publicist told CNN that Eartha was receiving treatment for colon cancer at hospital in New York. Her daughter, Kitt Shapiro, was by her side at the time of her death.
Eartha is survived by her daughter and four grandchildren.
Rest in peace, Eartha... You will always be perfect! And since it's Christmas, here's Eartha singing my favorite Christmas song. Eartha sang the original and nobody will ever be able to top her. I got the sads in a major way now.

No need to be rude. I just asked you to follow MK's rules. SOme people do not want to read about your personal lives. Just saying. I just want to post on topic thanks.
Might I suggest to CatLover that it goes BACK to the forums from whence it came?
Good King Wenceslaus looked out!
See? On topic! Eartha Kitt was a singer and I just sang!
I remember you, Farrah. And the tiara too.
:-)
Thank you, Sug..........

Was Eartha really going to be part of Obama's inaugural?
-----------------------------------------
i'm glad you're good now. Let's not talk about that stuff and just count our blessings. As small as they might be. You got my MySpace, right? if you don't create an account and look for me. I'm RunningwithScissors.
and ON TOPIC: i agree with Bag of Dirt. That Betty Page was probably one of the hottest creatures that ever walked the earth, so was Eartha and her sexy voice, the way she moved.. these women were REAL vixens, no like this new "i'm hawt cause i have fake tits and fake everything, look at my boobs"
Eartha for Hot Slut of the Week. Actually we should make a difference and name her Hot Lady of the Week.

Amen to that! I was looking at that photo of Eartha and the Bettie Page pics . . . . and have to say that the voluptuous women of the 40s and 50s were so much more apealing! Curvy, sensuous, soft flesh - beautiful. I am so revolted by the gormless, emaciated, skeletal female "stars" of today.
Been playing random Christmas tunes at Last.fm radio all evening and Eartha keeps popping up. Got a bit misty-eyed, to be honest. Had to go and download a few tracks and wallow in both some joyful nostalgia and sorrow. So sad to see the greats go.

Your dear old Uncle was in a horrible accident in March. This is my first time back online. I don't even know where to begin. I'm just really happy to see some of the gang here. Today, besides being Christmas, has been a wonderful day for me.

When I listen to her I think smoky jazz club, sophisticated conversation in the background and seduction in the air. And class. Musn't forget that.
Ditto that!. May her spirit live on.....

Sugaroo,

What? Did you just say something? Oh wait......
Bearing false witness and running to the mod makes the Baby Jesus cry. Don't worry I'll leave you be to fight with yourself, love yourself and agree with yourself and to worship poo. My cats need me anyway.
Datura,
You get me that, and both myself and my BF will sign!

Can we somehow start a petition to bring figures like hers back into style?"

Sugaroo,
Any person here knows who 'cat' and 'liver' really are. Report and ignore it.

I wonder why Sugaroo is so bitter? Mayhap she should shut off her own computer and have some pie? Her husband didn't give her the garden weasel she asked for, it's ok, Sugaroo, I will buy you one! After I pay for my internets and corn
RIP, Eartha. You had a voice like no other.
Can we somehow start a petition to bring figures like hers back into style? Looking at this picture and the one MK posted of Betty Page after her death, I wonder how stick-straight, boyish frames became en vogue.
“I ejaculate boiling venom, so I’d need to wear like fifty condoms.”
Thanks, Mike. Given that she had colon cancer, performing would have probably been out of the question.
Found this on Wikipedia about Miss Eartha: Orson Welles once called her the "most exciting woman in the world".

Am I crazy, or was Eartha going to perform at the Obama inaugural?!?
I think you're thinking of Aretha Franklin.

That is awful!! Maybe you can get some public assistance to help pay for your internets until you get back on your feet.

Since the two of you are clearly the same person, why don't you "both" shut off your internet and leave this place alone?

So much for this being a good Christmas.
Christmas deaths are always so hard to take because while the rest of the world is do damn cheerful you're going through the worst shit in the world trying to cope with the death of a loved one. My grandfather died Christmas morning 2000 and I'm still coming to grips with it. Every Christmas Eve I find myself curled up in my bed crying my eyes out hoping that the next year won't be as bad.
But damn, hearing about Ms. Kitt's death hurts deep. I absolutely loved her in Booomerang as Lady Eloise ("Maaarrcuuuss").

This is an open forum. Geez leave people alone and let them post. Sooo rude!! My liver needs help and advice. This is Chrsitmas!!
I wish Sugaroo was my BFF
All my cats love Sugaroo. And her BFF LCT.
Bag of Dirt, you're right and I agree.
But your name just tickles me to no end and makes it hard not to giggle. :-)
God picks special days to call special children home. Just like he called James Brown two years ago, he called Eartha Kitt today. Rest in peace, sexy lady .... as Manimal noted, you'll go down in hisssssssstory for being a sexy actress, a great singer, and a courageous woman for telling Lady Bird Johnson what an evil war her husband was waging.
Long live Catwoman!!!
Also, rest in peace, Harold Pinter. We'll always have your plays to remember you by.
