Listen carefully. Do you believe for a single second that Eartha Kitt stood passively and quietly took a whipping without complaint? It's certainly possible, but it does not square with the fiery person that we have seen so many demonstrations of over the years, and even within the four corners of this mini-bio. What I believe is that she had a mouth on her and was not afraid to use it. Can't behave, won't behave. You decide. "I Want to Be Evil" - Eartha Kitt

This lady look like a werewolf too

I need her attitude!!!! Love her ❤❤❤❤

She Had It Rough Till The Day She Died.....The True Definition Of Dying Alone With Cats.....She Died A Lonely Hurt Woman.....Who Was Never Loved.....

Black were racist too, they also slave their own people.

This woman knew what it was before it was what it became!

You have to compromise the little stuff but never compromise yourself. When you love someone, you love them as a whole person

Love this woman!!!!!

BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION.....Verbiage and Clarity PERFECTO ! Much love from Mama Banks here in Las Vegas Babies !!!

Her accent. Wonder what’s her nationality

That guy that she loved didn't love her the same, he loved money more, or he would have ran off with her, and made a new life with her

I fucking love eartha! 💕 she is a true queen❤️ 👑

Me neither, ever understood why one should compromise?! When she didn't, she remained alone.

She was so underrated especially in the black community. She was outspoken and intelligent and stood up for people like myself. Eartha love you R I P

You skipped Eve’s Bayu

Poor Eartha. But she shrugged everything off! I love that about her. THE GOVERNMENT, ONCE AGAIN, WILL TRY TO RUIN YOUR LIFE IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THEM. Eartha, was an attractive woman, awesome figure, and definitely talented. 👏 🎬 Her daughter is beautiful. When Kit, was a little girl, she sorta resembled Lisa Marie Presley. RIP Eartha, you were an extraordinary woman. 🤲

if her life will put on a film, I would go & recommend "VIOLA DAVIS" to portray her life, Viola is a phenomenal and brilliant actor, im sure you will agree.

Thank you for taking the time to research and share your findings with one of our greats. Eartha Kitt may not have wanted flowers and a big hooopla with her passing but the light glows stronger as her legacy grows. My mentor and friend...

I'm really glad this came up in my recommended, I'm an Irish woman living in the UK, so you can imagine I've not come across a lot of Black poets from this time 😂 thank you for opening my eyes to such a talented artist 🙏 gonna go see what works of his I can get my hands on ☘ go raibh míle maith agat

👏🏾🤍✨

This was so well done!!! Thank you❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Such a blessing to see young people bringing their creativity and intelligence to a project like this -- Honoring the spirits of the ancestors, who continue to live and breathe within us.

Just found this video and found it very interesting.

Hahahahahaaa man comes into my life and I have to compromise lol great I love her

beautifully said GOLDEN EARTHA KITT💛

who isn't in love with Eartha kitt

You’re so cute love this video

Such a beauty and fascinating woman ❤️

I love Eartha Kitt! She made quite an impression on me as a child watching her on Batman and Robin. I so wanted Cat Woman to have her own show! No disrespect to Julie Newmar, Michelle Pfieffer or Halley Berry, but Eartha was my favorite cat woman. Thanks for the video. I look forward to seeing more from your channel.

No one has bothered to question if Kitt's daughter was biological or adopted? Can't seem to find any pictures of her pregnant anywhere only pictures of her holding a newborn. Isn't that ironic? Pictures after the fact only? Hey Jerry what's the real story?

She’s my hero!

If they made a movie about her life I think Rihanna could play her

Never heard about her before, nice!

I’d love to hear about Queen Lateefah

This gave me goosebumps… what an outstanding woman!

Thank you so much for let me know more fron Eartha Kitt. My father called Marcelino Valdés, was a cuban percusionist that played with her. After your documentary, I have seen more of the life of Eartha Kitt and I am much more proud that my father has worked with her. Thank you very much again.

I saw her at the Shaw Theatre, she was in her 80's then! I don't recall her having a break and it was a long show. When she sang the first note of La Vien Rose it felt like I'd been hit on the back of the head...such was her power. At the end of the show many men placed flowers at the stage...it was moving. Then to read she'd died within a year of that performance...she was truly a class act. Her daughter recalls visiting Eartha when she was in bed the last days of her life. Apparently the daughter raised her voice to make sure she was heard. Eartha lifted her head and said "Darling ... I'm dying I'm not deaf." The interviewer obviously hadn't done his homework to ask if she'd compromise in a marriage/relationship? she stood up for what she believed and paid the price...but her audiences loved her. Thank you for this tribute Kyia

Great Job Sis!!!

I'm in my late 40"s and I love Eartha Kitt. This woman is amazing, beautiful , insightful, and unbelievably strong. Just wanted to know if and when you're going to do part 2?

A favorite of drag impersonators because she's such a character. Pop culture enthusiasts like myself think she really lived an interesting life and had an equally interesting career. First came to know her from Emperor's New Groove.

She’s phenomenal

She's the most inspirational human I have ever seen. Came from nothing, the ghetto and homelessness. And ends up in the White House for a luncheon. AND then scolds the first lady for her bullshit. WHAT A MASTERPIECE OF A WOMAN !!!!!

Thanks for the video Kyia!

Tks you, I'm a big fan of her music but didn't know about her background.

the story was good however you said she got married in 1960 and divorced in 1956 not sure about that? Love your video

Thank you so very much for this, Kyia. Eartha has never really been given the acclaim she deserves. I grew up listening to her music and loving her unique voice and incredible presence. Here in the UK, when I was a child in the 70s, Eartha was always on tv and was immensely loved, more so, I think, than in the U.S, at that time. She was so poised, so glamorous, so fiercely intelligent, so outspoken and so sophisticated and her repertoire of songs was wonderfully diverse. She could sing any song and make it sound like the only song in the world. I loved the fact that Eartha always said what she felt and stood up for what she believed and was fearless, honest, opinionated and honest. She blazed so many trails for those who came after her. Eartha was - and will always remain - a true legend and a real inspiration.

Greetings my dear sister warrior. This was a great break down. May I ask what organization/movement you are with? What are you doing now? How can we collaborate? I could be reached at [email protected]

That opening interview. Damn, what a legend. Perfect response. I love how she keeps repeating the question seemingly to try and make sense of it or to see if it’s not as absurd as it first seemed to her. She is sorely missed.

You did a lovely job on explaining her life. Thank you love
