Let's pour out a little of our finest libations for one remarkable woman. Eartha Kitt represented style, grace and 'sticktoitivness' that can only be compared to the likes of Josephine Baker, Ruby Dee or Nina Simone. Truly women of a different ilk. Before she was Lady Eloise she was the original Catwoman... and she did it purrfectly. They either adored her or feared her. With girded loins and a passion for life- we can all learn something from this fabulous chanteuse of whom Orson Welles once said was "the most exciting woman in the world". Make no mistake. We have lost one of the greats, but this is what happens when the flesh is unable to keep up with so much spirit.
To the Grand Diva, Ms. Kitt...Rest In Peace.
