    So sad, and it's so heartening to read the comments of other people who loved her as much as I did. The woman all but defined sexy, and I mean classy sexy. I was a firm believer that they should have just cast Eartha Kitt to be Catwoman in that horrible Halle Berry movie - Eartha would have wiped the floor with Halle.

    I think there's a one-act play in the conversation between her and Harold Pinter, in the Waiting Room of the Beyond....

    @Matt Jacobson: They could just sit and gripe about the war. The trouble is, we really need Pinter to write it.

    @Matt Jacobson:


    Waiting Room of the Beyond, Christmas 2008. HAROLD PINTER and EARTHA KITT sit on straight-backed chairs on opposite ends of the stage.


    EARTHA

    I was expecting a gentleman coming down my chimney tonight. I must cancel that engagement.


    Pause.


    PINTER

    Ah.

    I loved Eartha Kitt, but you can praise her contribution to Batman without the unnecessary hyperbole. Juliet Newmar defined Catwoman to this day. She was never in any danger of being eclipsed even by Eartha.

    The saddest thing is I have never had a face to put to this name until now.
