THE CAT’S MEOW!

Studio publicity photo of Earth Kitt, as Cat Woman. Kitt took over the role of Catwoman from actress Julie Newmar for the third and final season of Batman, 1967.

“She was a cat woman before we ever cast her as Catwoman. She had a cat-like style. Her eyes were cat-like and her singing was like a meow. This came as a wonderful off-beat idea to do it with a black woman.” Bill Dozier, Executive Producer
