The recently published EARTHA & KITT: A Daughter's Memoir in Black & White by Kitt Shapiro provides many details about this fascinating performer's life, especially during her final years. Highly recommended!

@@Tecobelli Miss Kitt also wrote 3 autobiographies: THURSDAY'S CHILD (1956), ALONE WITH ME (1975), & I'M STILL HERE: CONFESSIONS OF A SEX KITTEN (1989). The 1st book ends with the opening of MRS. PATTERSON on Broadway, the 2nd includes The White House luncheon with Lady Bird Johnson & its aftermath, the 3rd offers a summation of her life, loves, & career to that date. The 1st book especially captures her unique upbringing & adventurous spirit.

I once asked Stephen Sondheim if he ever wrote, or heard, alternate lyrics to "I'm Still Here" that would allow it to be sung by a man. He got a little testy and answered, "no, and if you try to write them, I will sue you just like I did Eartha Kitt." I'm guessing he would not have loved this clip, but I'm (still) here for it.

@aeichler 2 жыл бұрын

He didn't actually sue her, but he sent a letter threatening to. She switched back to the real lyric and later played Carlotta in London and Berlin.

I’m a huge Sondheim fan, but that’s a dick move. This is an *amazing* version of that song. Eartha Kitt went. through. it. and survived. Not everyone who sang that song did.

@ericholck3914 2 жыл бұрын

@@kentbrintnall874 No doubt about it, Sondheim had a pretty giant ego. And that probably made him a little over protective of his work. I was a little surprised of the tone of the letter I got, and how he mentioned Eartha Kitt specifically. Clearly, he took the issue of people tweaking his lyrics very seriously!

I ADORE Eartha! This was wonderful to watch. Are you sure the year is correct? Her appearance looks more like 1990-ish.

3:59 lol what does she say. 46:16 that's a beautiful line. 1:01:00 She's unique because most performers don't include humor in their act. She was the best
