Although she wasn't my favorite Catwoman, she was a GREAT Catwoman and really got into the character.

RIP, I loved Eartha Kitt.  Crazy thing that she was....

I saw her sing in a jazz club once.  Great show!

Heck of a way to celebrate Christmas.

After Newmar, nobody else could play the Catwoman, but Kitt definately sang the sweetest version of 'Santa Baby'...  ;)

Newmar was sweet and funny and sexy as hell.  Eartha Kitt was crazy and I think it's too bad they didn't make the most of that in Batman because I always thought of Catwoman as a total psycho chick and Eartha had that down pat.  Plus the voice...

True, Bobby, but Newmar was a psycho at times, too.

Remember when JulieCat suggested to Batman that they get married, and BatWest then asked 'But what do we do with Robin?'.  Her reply was, 'We'll kill him.' That one still shocks me, even today.

I haven't seen any episodes of Batman in so long...  probably 30 years.  Sure wish they would get it together and release that on DVD.  I have no doubt it would be the biggest selling vintage TV series DVD of all time.

I think FOX is hoping to get that concession from Warner over their lawsuit regarding THE WTCHMEN.  Heck, Eartha was the third best Catwoman ever!
