    Eartha Kitt and her daughter Kitt McDonald in London in 1965. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Kitt and her daughter in 2001 when Ms. Kitt played the Fairy Godmother in “Cinderella” on Broadway and, I have to say, the mutual adoration was adorable. Photo: Bettman/Corbis

    Eartha Kitt, snapped by Charles “Teenie” Harris in May 1966, leaping though a poster to launch a Citizens Committee on Hill District Renewal program on Vine and Colwell Streets in Pittsburgh, PA. Get thee to the Carnegie Museum of Art before April 7, 2012 people!

    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.

    We lost Eartha Kitt 3 years ago on Christmas Day and, as far as I’m concerned, no other version of “Santa Baby” exists.

    Sidney Poitier and Eartha Kitt in the 1957 film Mark of the Hawk. Mr. Poitier portrayed a London-born African who returns home for a political position. His character’s name? Wait for it… Obam. Eartha Kitt plays his stylish wife Renee.
