What was singer Eartha Kitt known for, besides the definitive rendition of Santa Baby? Acting and activism.

There's her growling purr, a half-dozen songs on the 1950s pop charts, roles on stage and screen—famously as Catwoman to TV's Batman—and as a voice actor in later years. Her collaborator Orson Welles called her "The most exciting woman in the world." Kitt won a Tony and 3 Emmy awards. She died Christmas day, 2008.

In 1950s London, Tin Pan Alley and pop-scene photographer Harry Hammond took a series of black-and-white photos of Kitt. The #VictoriaAndAlbert #Museum now houses the negatives.

Eartha Kitt was also a peace and LGBT+ activist. During the 1960s Vietnam war, she berated her White-House luncheon hosts, saying: "You send the best of this country off to be shot and maimed. No wonder kids rebel and take pot." The fallout meant an unflattering CIA dossier and a career shift to Europe and Asia.

I don't want to think ... I want to drink.

Anna Lucasta, the 1959 film starring Eartha Kitt & Sammy Davis Jr as well as a stellar supporting cast had an interesting history.
Originally written as a play by Philip Yordan depicting a Polish American family, it was rewritten by American Negro Theater Director Abram Hill + Henry Wagstaff Gribble for an all African-American cast. After the success of this new version the script headed to Hollywood for a film version in 1949 ... but filmed with a white cast it was not a success.

January 18, 1968 - Invited to a Women Doers luncheon at the Johnson White House, Eartha Kitt, singer and actor, spoke out about the effect of the Vietnam War on America’s youth. Lady Bird Johnson had convened 50 whites and Negroes to discuss President Lyndon Johnson’s anti-crime proposals. Ms. Kitt first asked the President, “what do you do about delinquent parents, those who have to work and are too busy to look after their children?" He said that there was Social Security money for daycare, and the group should discuss such issues.

Later, she told the women that young Americans were "angry because their parents are angry . . . because there is a war going on that they don't understand . . . You send the best of this country off to be shot and maimed. They rebel in the street. They will take pot . . . and they will get high. They don't want to go to school because they're going to be snatched off from their mothers to be shot in Vietnam."

Eartha Kitt’s career took a severe downturn after this; for years afterward, Kitt performed almost exclusively overseas, while being investigated by several federal agencies.

"The thing that hurts, that became anger, was when I realized that if you tell the truth – in a country that says you're entitled to tell the truth – you get your face slapped and you get put out of work," Kitt told Essence magazine two decades later.

🐈 Orangey the Cat 🐈

The only cat to win 2 PATSY Awards - From the school of animal handler Frank Inn. His 1st win was for Rhubarb the Millionaire Cat. He won again, 10 years later for his performance as Cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's, opposite Audrey Hepburn. Other roles included Mouschi, in The Diary of Anne Frank, Butch, in The Incredible Shrinking Man, + the cat in Batman (alongside Eartha Kitt's Catwoman). Orangey was an ornery actor, often described as the meanest cat in Hollywood - known for biting and scratching his co-stars - but he was prized for his ability to stay on set for long hours. Orangey had many stand-ins for his acting roles - as many as 36 different cats in his debut as Rhubarb!

🐈 Orangey the Cat 🐈

The only cat to win 2 PATSY Awards - From the school of animal handler Frank Inn. His 1st win was for Rhubarb the Millionaire Cat. He won again, 10 years later for his performance as Cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's, opposite Audrey Hepburn. Other roles included Mouschi, in The Diary of Anne Frank, Butch, in The Incredible Shrinking Man, + the cat in Batman (alongside Eartha Kitt's Catwoman). Orangey was an ornery actor, often described as the meanest cat in Hollywood - known for biting and scratching his co-stars - but he was prized for his ability to stay on set for long hours. Orangey had many stand-ins for his acting roles - as many as 36 different cats in his debut as Rhubarb!
