Her voice and her message are as direct as they are poetic. Eartha was one of the absolute greatest humans in recent times.

Eartha Kitt

[@j1st633]

Times have not changed.

[@GB-ez6ge]

I was 6 when Batman aired on TV and I remember Earth as the only catwoman that could purr

[@tehf00n]

She was truly one of a kind.

[@MarcTRussell]

I absolutely love Eartha. These interviews are really something special.

[@trevorpickering8660]

This is a great interview. Eartha is awesome😊have you listened to the one with Lawrence Olivier ? Anyway, I hope your going well. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺

[@SDSFG45]

one of my she-ros. I will NEVER forget her. And there are SEVERAL black, female superstars that may not even knoew of her, but owe their careers to icons like her, Grace Jones, Josephine Baker, Diahann Carroll and Dorothy Dandridge. Eartha wasnt a diva...she was above that. She was what we call "a grand dame".

[@sassycc4148]

Correction, Josephine Baker came at least 15 to 20 years before Eartha Kitt.

[@SDSFG45]

@@sassycc4148 good for her...Im pretty sure I didnt say she didnt.

[@sassycc4148]

@SDSFG45 I misread your comment and stand corrected

[@briansilkworth5486]

She was an independent woman focused on her daughter and her career, in that order. She did not enjoy frivolous conversation, she wanted to talk about real world problems. Shame on the Johnson administration.

[@Malouco]

That Johnson guy was something else! I would treat him the same way I would treat Artificial Intelligence!

[@Malouco]

I DONT HV HUMAN LOVE FIGURED OUT YET - PRESIDENT ALEXA JOHNSON

[@tonolinus]

what a great show. thx for uploading these

[@ahmedcali8271]

Eartha was courageous and bold enough to talk about issues most men will avoid talk about today.

[@lorenzoblum868]

Today she might ask about the carbon /toxicity boot print of the elephant in the room, aka the military industrial complex.

[@hydrarue3725]

She’s awesome. “Still waiting for forty acres and a mule”! 🔥

[@malafakka8530]

I find these interviews so compelling. Rarely is there one that I don't enjoy. Greetings from Germany.

[@gretagarbeige]

Eartha is and always will be a legend.

[@lorenzoblum868]

Legend? Eartha was 100% Real.

[@TheInderTaker]

Wow, they didn't portray this side of LBJ in All The Way. These interviews/uploads are greatly appreciated👍thank you.

[@nancydrew5]

The White House should have ussued a formal apology to this great lady even posthumously

[@Alpha_Omega_1541]

Most of the time i think ,we as a society, are going downhill. Then i see this, I realize things really haven’t changed.

[@daisyhoward5472]

Plus ca change.

[@namastemcl]

Wow a gutsy and talented woman. Never stop speaking the truth.

[@timatkinson9291]

Great lady. Always loved her!!!

[@KR-te8kw]

I love her voice!❤❤❤

[@Marcel_Audubon]

wonderful episode, wonderful lady

[@kamuelalee]

Intelligent, original and classy lady.

[@TfromTennessee]

That wasn't a fucking joke and he knows it *rollseyes...some people get on my fucking nerves! the audience too...laughing *tripleeyeroll

[@MTMF.london]

Ahhh, ahh, ahh! Where is the clip of her singing??!!

[@atis9061]

I never knew this about Eartha! Thanks for this post. I am fan now and want to know more about her. She's no kitty cat. She's a full-fledged tiger! Brava Eartha!

[@MMMMutants]

She does look like a cat, I love her

[@mikmowmil]

A very eloquent woman.

[@Concreteforest111]

🖤

[@fredericovega5087]

I'm still waiting for her movie, how about you🤔

[@Tormund_Giantsbrain]

The Matrix came for her 😭. You can't do that stuff now in the age of the internet and social media.

[@tommym321]

Wow. What a bad ass!

[@edugator2242]

I disagree with her because it ignores what the Soviet Union was doing in the world, but I appreciate the fact that she had the guts to say it. And what Johnson did to her should scare everyone.

[@JUAN-dz1rv]

You are not smart

[@donnasmith4821]

Eartha Kitt was a "Class Act!"😁💕

[@donnasmith4821]

In

[@MacSOGAdventureInternational]

Hmm so getting cancelled has been going on even then

[@norfolk03]

It so us democrat is still evil and racist

[@ericcalvert1982]

Democrat

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

Back when sex symbols had to be classy and well spoken.

[@Warp75]

She really is a cat

[@MTMF.london]

Totally sexy and deep at the same time. My kind of woman.

[@tamikadriver36]

He was rude toward her

compare to any of our so called stars today. I think of whoopi on ther tv program

[@mikaeel6161]

She sound funny for somebody from the town of North, South Carolina. That accent sounds weird

[@omar505]

My uncle Paul was from some small town in South Carolina and he sounded very similar. Listen to old clips of Elijah Muhammad speaking, again it sounds very similar. Watch British television for a while, I think you’ll begin to hear the similarities between their accents and our southern accents. When I hear for instance Blanche Devereaux from The Golden Girls I hear traces of England.

[@Someonesaidthis]

The problem is the elites..

[@davidg.9942]

because,,We The People" - common people Shall Only pay all kind of Taxes & shut up, so the Almighty peple can fund their lavish life,,,,,

[@lestermatos2989]

Seems to me like our dear eartha made a bit of a living from Her White House issue

[@callmek186]

And people still glorify First Lady and former president, ignoring their clearly misuse of power. It was supposed to be a party of "Discussion"
