Eartha Kitt’s career is just so iconic because there’s no way you don’t know her even if you don’t know you know her. You like Christmas music ok well she’s Santa Baby. You like Disney animated movie ok well she’s Yzma. You like Disney Channel original movie ok well she’s Madame Zeroni. You like comic book ok well she is Cat Woman. She won.

I once saw her perform live when I was a teenager and I didn’t realize how iconic she was until I watched The Emperor’s New Groove and did some major researching (as one does).

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

Lady Eartha Kitt was my woman crush Wednesday.
Before the Beyoncés and the Rihannas and before being on fleek.

We had subtle, unfiltered, natural beauty.

Now please stare and appreciate this golden melanin

Overnight this post went from 0 to 360 (literally the reblogs and likes amount to that)

I’m glad we all love her.

Let’s appreciate her beauty some more
