Eartha Kitt was born 88 years ago today. Kitt was a singer, actress, dancer and cabaret star. She was perhaps best known for her highly distinctive singing style and her 1953 hit recordings of Cest Si Bon and the enduring Christmas novelty smash Santa Baby. Orson Welles once called her the most exciting woman in the world. She took over the role of Catwoman for the third and final season of the 1960s Batman television series, replacing Julie Newmar, who was unavailable due to other commitments. She also voiced Yzma on Disneys The Emperors New Groove and its television spinoff, The Emperors New School, earning five Emmy Awards in the process, the last shortly before her death. Kitt died in 2008 at the age of 81. Here is Kitt as “Catwoman” on Batman.
