The Hollywood actress (best known for playing Catwoman in the Batman live-action series) has passed away. On Christmas, no less.
Eartha Kitt, a Seducer of Audiences, Dies at 81
The cause was colon cancer, said her longtime publicist, Andrew E. Freedman.
Ms. Kitt, who began performing in the late ’40s as a dancer in New York, went on to achieve success and acclaim in a variety of mediums long before other entertainment multitaskers like Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand and Bette Midler.
