Eartha Kitt was born on this day in 1927. Here she is with her ex-fiance Sammy Davis Jr. filming Anna Lucasta in 1958. They were very briefly engaged in 1952 (or, as Ms. Kitt told me in 2001 - before he lost his eye!) and starred in the film with a cast of greats from the black theater, particularly those who were members of the American Negro Theater. Kitt and Davis not only starred in the film, they had financial participation - which came with considerable headaches.
