I remember seeing her in "quest for fire" and being smitten. :heart: I wonder what ever happened to her?

I read somewhere that she is trying to help her children get into movies or whatever.

To me, she was an absolute Hot Tamale!

Nah.....I like Rae Dawn Chong better!

Eartha Kitt was quite a beauty, too. And she had that Santa song.

Before she was a "personality," she was actually a well-regarded nightclub-type singer. I think she won "best new artist of 1953" or something.

She came from a very poor background in the South. She was shuttled from home to home when she was young. Very interesting story, actually.

There was this movie, around 1982-1983, about a French guy who falls for an American black opera singer who was touring France.

Man...that woman was something!! !!

ah, I guessed that but was not sure. I have a CD of her singing. I heard she was quite a difficult person to get along with. a diva, IOW.

Good evening, Gentlemen! What an interesting topic of conversation you have going here. I am afraid I will not be able to add much to a conversation about beautiful women, since I have never completely grasped the subject myself. I am supposing you may not want to compare the merits of male celebrities I find attractive, either. How do you feel about the roles of actresses? Does the charisma of the role have any bearing on the attractiveness of the female? I am thinking here about the Sigourney Weaver types and similar strong but serious roles. I was so excited to see you bring up Eartha Kitt, Kraftie. I have always admired her. Then again, I AM a big Batman fan. The Dark Night comic series version of batman....yowza. :heart:
