Eartha Kitt and Me! Part 6. FINALLY! They Found A Birth Certificate To Prove That At Least I Exist

[@theresatoomer5578]

Her speaking voice is like no other.

[@nilzeteoliveirasantos9388]

A velhice vem mesmo!!!

[@jacksprat2178]

I saw Ms. Kitt one year before her death. I say this always: she is in the top 10 concerts I ever saw. She sang in 4 languages. I love her idea to plant cotton fields for agents to pick. She was wonderful.

[@samlsd9711]

Who are the Agents she mean?

[@guardianoftheduat]

@@samlsd9711 talent agents u know the ppl who get celebrities their gigs

[@minimocha8741]

She died

[@LegionIvory]

I sadly never got the opportunity to see her perform live, though I always wanted to. She died when I was only 17; I had grew up watching her in film and television, and I loved her music even then. When I got the newspaper and saw on the front page that she had passed, my entire day was ruined. I now had a dream that would never come true.

[@elainebmack]

What a strange set of circumstances to be caught up in. Having to wait for some judge to tell YOU who your father is. Having some white person snuggling up to you and "now that you're famous", finally admitting that you are "in the family". Eartha Kitt might have had a worst fate had she known these racist creeps. Another point: Being "biracial" is suddenly fashionable these days, but biracial people are still seen as "exotic" rather than human.

[@angeliquespence133]

Makes you think who wrote the father's name on the certificate. Also why didn't the clerk correct it? They sure enough do it today.

[@gingerandspice1209]

Not biracials with wyt mother's. They are all on TikTok saying she is racist.

[@bellabambina1184]

I love her. I wish I had an ounce of her confidence and wisdom. Her strength and courage and talent and wisdom !!

[@amybugg001]

I always detect a bit of a french accent when Ms. Kitt speaks I love to listen to her.

[@pauli2021]

Yeah.. I'm thinking the same thing, she does have an accent.

[@Doriginal-b8y]

She was blacklisted and had to move out of the US after speaking against the war. She did an interview on it.

[@jjstone9735]

she lived in Paris and sang in night clubs for a number of years before making it big. She traveled all over the world with her dance troupe as well.

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

Yeah, probably from when she was in Paris for 10 years, but I think she had a distinguishable accent before that. She spoke 3 or 4 different languages. And I think it was somewhat her persona of being a sultry exotic woman.

[@eastender1862]

How frustrating and what a ridiculous man made law...not to be able to know who your father was. .....that in itself should be against the law.

[@dustfreequeen5151]

Now that you're famous, welcome to the family! Just wow!!!

[@daydayh7671]

Fuckin Nerve! I swear! Some people

[@samlsd9711]

It's very sad.

[@MelanatednNature]

You know that's how it goes

[@heavenawilson5140]

Hope she Got her Birth Certificate and all.the Info she was seeking before She passed away..Those who knew she was related to them could have just told her the name of her birth Father..

[@Immortalstar.]

Yes I agree....Selfish

[@Sophie-ud2tf]

She’s such a character! Love her personality!

[@terryford8280]

This woman ..is ...was ...and always will be a Class Act!!! ThEE "uncomparable" Miss Eartha Kitt!!! BEAUTY QUEEN CAT WOMAN!!! She embodies everything a woman is supposed to be!

[@theredheadwiththread1275]

Beautiful, eloquent, classy, and a bit of a flirt. Yeah, I could definitely aspire to that.

[@arlowesley]

Miss Kitt forever dropping gems and jewels…

[@carolleenkelmann3829]

Isn't that just too incredible for words. Not allowed to know her father's name and Everybody else does. Why don't her cousins tell her!.

[@sarahlewis2712]

Strong black woman right there you go Eartha

[@ad8554]

I first saw her in Ernest Scared Stupid and my father told me she was Catwoman and sang "Santa Baby" I was shocked. She's amazing.

[@elizmal533]

Listen to her “ Where is my man” song, thats a total Classic!!! She incorporates her famous cat purrs!! Love it ❤

[@narviawilliams2340]

🌺What a beautiful woman Eartha Kitt was❤

[@douglashall6795]

Yep, I believe it is a story that many families could tell indeed, but only if they were willing to, I guess..

[@terryford8280]

...and "I" FOR ONE...(ME)❤❤❤💯💯💯💯

[@terryford8280]

EXCELLENT AND EXCEPTIONAL PIECE OF WORK!!! THANK YOU!!

[@artisticalex1206]

She was an amazing singer and actress. I used one of her quotes as my senior quote for my senior year of high school and I am so happy I did. She was an amazing individual. RIP Eartha

[@Faithled]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful exceptional woman made by GOD! HALLELUJAH!

[@Nunov103]

Love the way she says “welcome to the family” , so powerful and seductive, this woman was brilliant :)

[@electrarain5602]

Can listen to her say the same thing for days

[@rubyrod23]

She was so strong. Hopefully now generations to come will never know this type of pain... How amazing she turned out dispute having a deep hole in the pit of her soul. Rest Well Angel!

[@ms.fortune2957]

Oh GOOD FOR HER...I'm so happy she was able to find out & at least meet her other family member's before she transitioned....❤ Although unfortunately they ONLY broke their silence because she was FAMOUS, RICH & they clearly wanted to gain some of her POPULARITY.....Shaking My Freakin Head😒😒😒😒 OPPORTUNISTS is written all over that. Well at least she learned of her Father, although he was a sick rapist. Its still good to know your identity & WHERE you come from. THANKS for Sharing🏆

[@shimeicareaves]

Where can i find out about her real family this sad

[@thomasgeorge751]

As far as Ms. Kitts father goes, it's the one who loved and raised her. When she left this world we lost a wonderful part of the world of true beauty and kindness.

[@ms.fortune2957]

Thomas George NO man helped raise her, she was past around, starved, worked to death, used & abused until she ran away after being sent to New York to a relative I believe was her REAL MOTHER. I PRAY her soul is finally RESTING🏆

[@shimeicareaves]

@@ms.fortune2957 rite

[@emmaspaz6435]

Her mom gave her to another family a man she was with said he didnt want no high yell a girl in his house then she was abused and forced to work in the fields by the people here mom gave her away to. Then moved with her aunt in new York she later ran away.

[@cletuswombat2694]

"From here to Timbuktu !" .. haha .. Coincidentally the few songs that I am still looking for.. Her starring in Timbuktu.. :-)

[@ms.fortune2957]

Cletus Wombat Its HERE on KZbin...LOL

[@locojazz5770]

Crazy because I told someone I believe in karma but I did not know how to explain. Good video

[@bonitahobbs2097]

TRUTHFUL!!!!!!!!!! AND "HER GIFTS MADE ROOM FOR HER"!!!!!!! WHY DO PEOPLE THROW SO MANY ROCKS AND HIDE THEIR HANDS???

[@AJ-sr3hl]

I have always admired the God inside you! Thank you very much Eartha Kitt for sharing your grace, your wisdom and your knowledge with us. You have truly been a blessing to everyone. ♥️

[@latishae2240]

I love her laugh & personality not to mention her voice.

[@enchantresse23]

True Queen ✨

[@johnmccann8319]

What a talented, beautiful and intelligent woman she was.

[@RXmusic4YOU]

....oh HELL!!!!!! ....tell your story Ms. Kitt....this sounds too familiar..[r.i.p. papa]...I know she is finally resting...along with so many others who have been 'conveniently' misplaced at birth...

[@PhenominalWoman504]

How awful of the family to know and not say anything!! Shame on them!!

[@suginami123]

A brilliant woman. Love her so much. RuPauls mother

[@daviddarkmaster]

WAIT A MINUTE! Does this mean that she never knew how old; SORRY, how young she was legally?

[@ebonyyoungblood9636]

Eartha Keitt disliked the black Panthers she said so herself in an interview

[@ramkeransusanann796]

I am glad she knew who her father was ,some of us will die without knowing.

[@ye2low]

Thank you for the video. I wonder if she ever found out?

[@Ofa337]

"Yella girl" does not mean that "you have no color at all." Eartha Kitt's interpretation of this phrase has always warranted questioning. It's as if she wanted to add as much unnecessary drama to this phrase as possible, and then attach it to herself. Never understood why she felt the need to do that. Eartha Kitt has been Amazing in so many ways.

[@homodeus8713]

Yella girls and boys were mixed and it’s the same as coloureds in Africa - the white fathers wanted a distinction made between black people and their children with black women. She’s right. Relax.

[@katiejo6066]

Ya I read an article about Eartha Kitt and she banned cussing. And many other things.

[@robbywells7050]

What a special lady 💜💜💜💜💜💋love you dahling

[@RR-jt4ug]

Brilliant lady

[@jjl2723]

I love eartha!

[@terranceteague1848]

Did she play the voice of Ezma from Emperors New Groove cause she kinda sounds like her. Lol..Shes very entertaining to watch I like her

[@gregchi987]

She did

[@marqhaverty6830]

This birth certificate explains her accent

[@massimogiordano2778]

Charming ,the age is ininfluente for this big personality,,,forever fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎵🎵🌹🌹🌹

[@ChichiThugmen]

They thought because of her history and being an orphan she couldn’t be one of the best. I know someone who was a rape baby and it tears us up talking about it! And the fact that the judge has the RIGHT to grant something like that goes to show you have messed up our system is. He can rape a women but not be named or held accountable! That a hard pill to swallow!

[@maraflore]

before her passing did she eventually find out who her father was

[@artisticalex1206]

Unfortunately no. But it was said that her father may have been a man named Daniel Sturkie, but that hasn’t been confirmed.

[@hebneh]

I wonder if she remained in touch with her relatives. I found out that my father had a much younger half-sister when I was about 55 years old. He never mentioned and I don’t know if he knew she existed.

[@AlexandraBolz]

What year was this? Looks like it is around the 90s or early 2000s. Anyways I used to love Eartha Kitt back in 5th grade, 4 years after her death, and I still do but it isn't really an obsession anymore.

[@solilouis2789]

I love this woman

[@doveflyer1636]

The family should’ve told her!

[@coronamichael21]

She is an icon. Love her!

[@ticolandia100]

Uff she needs to ask a judge 👩‍⚖️ for her to know who her father was ?? Wtf !!my gramma used to tell me that only person who loves you alwAys is your mom !! We are all the same !! I don’t see color ! But god is great 👍

[@biaccagreen7157]

javier sanchez I think your grandma was right💯💯💯💯💯

[@chasegordon9683]

I was not able to find it myself it was under anotha name

[@sobeidalagrange7129]

"Yella Gal"? I need the right term... It was so hard to be mixed in Ameeica those days... 😞😞😞

[@angiecoers6255]

She's Black, why is there a confusion. She has all the black features.

[@Listening_2_Still_Small_Voice]

Angie Coers exactly. I don’t believe Eartha Kitt’s story about being biracial. Look at Lena Horne, who looked half white or mostly white but came from two black light skinned parents.

[@Listening_2_Still_Small_Voice]

Asha - Eartha Kitt could’ve simply said she doesn’t know who her father is...like so many people don’t know. She didn’t need to suggest that her father is white. Nothing biracial about her. She is caramel brown with African features. End of story.

[@anaiya8617]

Biracial people have black features and are seen as black anyways

[@xx-kj1om]

She was born in plantation.

[@justingaffneysamuels2072]

VulnerableMajesty People darker than that have white parents. Yes, white men kept Black women are concubines. Most African Americans have some Europeans ancestry.

[@iamsenitrashaneil1234]

I love her!!!

[@syneathiabell1350]

What a Lady....

[@ladylove8274]

She is a cousin of mines she was a Bonaparte!!! KEITT!!

[@megananne8129]

She is /was Amazing

[@josearce3233]

i think her daugther should do a dna test and then go to the historian What is his name he always traces people ancestry and find interesting things

[@Nada07able]

Henry Louis Gates, Finding Your Roots. Yes she should.

[@cdubb8185]

Her laugh 🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😘

[@NA-ko4ub]

Did she ever go to court?

[@scottiearmonie]

I have no birth certificate either

[@samlsd9711]

5:07 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂 She killed me! I mean..... wouldn't that be a bitch pay back time?

[@gingerandspice1209]

"Yella" is a black colloquialism. Blk people made that up , especially blk men . They have always been colorist. Even on the plantation.

[@Howbizarre9114]

Fucking iconic. I love her so much

[@april6662]

Queen Eartha!! 1Love

[@diradeb]

"I do believe in faith and karma!" Right on, Ms. Kitt 🙃🙂

[@Mirror1973]

How awesome

[@jazzmanchgo]

So -- her birth surname was "Kitt" after all? I'd always read that she was born Eartha Mae Keith.

[@claudiavela7387]

But did she find out or not?

[@hodgemoss]

Who was her father?

[@artisticalex1206]

It was said his name was Daniel Sturkie by a journalist, but her daughter Kitt doesn't know if it is 100 percent true or not.

[@mwatsonification]

I hear a little Spanish accent. Hard to place it. She's lived so many places. R.I.P. Eartha May!

[@princess3808]

She is FUNNY!!!!

[@143wisdom]

Did she ever find out who her father was?

[@artisticalex1206]

Unfortunately no. But it’s a possibility her father was a man named Daniel Sturkie. But it hasn’t been confirmed though.

[@sarahholland2600]

Its what the term meant to her , its her experience of it, which would of course be different to others. She felt neither whites nor blacks wanted her or valued her, so , she was nothing/no colour . You cant dictate how she interpreted it really. We are all different & interpret meaning differently. Plus those were different times, regarding race & all its issues.

[@navajoauckland6003]

That was so hard to hear "herd" . But she's right thats how it was in the fuckwit days

[@KiraPLUR]

I like the video discription haha snipsnip

[@angiecoers6255]

She looks like James Brown, she might be related.

[@angelslive9651]

So Who is Her Real Dad den - I don’t get ? Doz she know who he is now 🤔

[@artisticalex1206]

She isn't alive anymore. Idk if she ever found out though

[@MelanatednNature]

Love her

[@cbboyle5117]

I've never understood where in the world that accent came from! It's as though she's trying to sound as though she's European, trying to speak American English. So affected!!

[@emmaspaz6435]

I believe she and a few other black performers were in France for quite some time

[@marthagaryerik]

❤ RIP

[@EvaJ976]

Sounds like a made up story . She doesn’t look biracial what so ever , but bless her 💕💕

[@cauliflowerpower41]

But she ain't light skin though 🙄 don't get it and fake accent

[@negusibe9232]

We are indigenous..who the fuck is a color

[@hadassanyoka479]

🤣💦🤣💦

[@tsteigh]

🇺🇸💪👉👸👍👍

[@napoleongracemarshall7651]

There is no one person that can "play the race card " except for Eartha kitt "! End of discussion!

[@Freedomisamust899]

Eartha Kitt made millions by not being truthful about her father.
