RIP Eartha Kitt

[Mitch]

What terrible Christmas news, Eartha Kitt has died at the age of 81.

She'll always be Catwoman to me, and I'll never be able to forget her wonderful "Santa Baby" song. Not to mention her splendid performance as Yzma in Emperor's New Groove.

Rest in peace, Eartha.

Oh no! :(

I was fortunate enough to meet her once at a theatre seminar; she was a lovely, vibrant woman. How very sad that she's gone. :(

She always had a rather special charisma.

Her version of Santa Baby was the best, so classic...so it's incredibly ironic and sad that she passed on Christmas. :cry
