She spoke 4 languages, won a Tony and several Emmy's, had the best of everything, had men falling at her feet and wined and dined with high society. Not bad for a girl born on a southern cotton plantation. She was fabulous!
Why do people insist on saying who's the best Catwoman? Each actress has brought something different, and they did it in their own style. Eartha Kitt did an amazing job as Catwoman, as did Julie Numar. All were great.
Although there had been various Cat Woman’s through the Batman series and currently two movies that made it on to the big screen, Michelle Pfeiffer who was indeed hot as well as Halle Berry who truly up the game when it came to wearing the cat suit. Having said that I must admit Halle’s movie sucked even though she looked good in the costume. However when it’s all said and done it’s Eartha Kitt who most people will remember as Cat Woman regardless of whether you preferred her in the role or not.
I saw Lee Meriweather's and Julie Newmar's Catwomans and too be fairly honest, NONE of them come remotely close to Eartha's performance at all. Sure both of them had sex appeal but that's it, none of their had the feline veracity to the character. I'm still iffy about Anne Hathaway playing her, I believe Zoe Saldana would have been the best choice for a modern Catwoman
@ss6truks - Eartha Kitt made the role her own with her voice... and her rolling of the "R" - which is simply perfect. The other actresses playing "Catwoman" were VERY good, but it's the R-rolling that is the icing on the cake.
I know people are just going to hate this comment, but to be honest Eartha Kitt is one my least favorite Catwomans ever, I don't really like her really over the top performances(I know the show was really over the top, but I just don't think she really pulled It off), and I still can't find her remotely hot or sexy eh I just can't I don't really find how soo many people can. Sorry ifI pissed anybody off, It's just my opinion and I don't really think that my opinion matters.
@ComicBookFan97 its cool dude. as long as u can say something like an adult who has some sense not some lil fan boy and say"she fuckin sucks and she ugly! omg y would they chose her?!" then its all good. world would be a borin place if we all like the same thing
None of the other actresses who played Catwoman never really embodied the sexy feline quality that Eartha Kitt had. Her voice was a perpetual purrrrrrrr. Campy as hell but sexy to the nth degree.
She was on during a time when Blacks were becoming popular on tv with the Success of Bill Cosby on I Spy in 1965-1968 and numerous other shows thereafter, Roger Morris on Mission Impossible 1966-73, Dianhann Carol on Julia 1968-1971, Clarence William III on Mod Squad 1968-1973, Nichelle Nichols on Star Trek 1966-1969, Red Foxx and Lamont Wilson On Sanford and Son 1972-1977.
she has the perfect voice for Catwoman, she rolls her 'r' and 'l' amazingly. Of course the show was pretty corny to begin with, but if it came to a cartoon series I would use her to play the voice of Catwoman. It just matches the high class, diva of thieves
Eartha Kitt's Catwoman is definitely the best. She put more effort into the role than any other, and she seems like she had fun portraying the character.
Right up to the end of her life, Eartha Kitt still knew how to put on that layer of playful sexiness, and she still did that cat growl better than anyone. In so many ways, she WAS Catwoman.
@mignon715 Think Beyonce is more popular than Janet Jackson right now, but don't think she would be right either maybe Kerry Washington could do it though.
@hydrolito I agree. Kerry Washington has the look for sure, but I don't know if she has the fierceness need. Gabriel Union has less of the look than Kerry Washington but could probably be more fierce. I wish Aaliyah was alive, judging from her performance in the Queen of the Damned, she would be perfect.
@NeoEpzilon Maybe they could get Kerry Washington or Gabrielle Union to play Vixen if they include her in a Justice League movie you already know they picked Anne Hathaway for Catwoman in next Batman movie, I guess sort of based on Julie Newmar type, although I've never seen Anne Hathaway in anything but a commedy so I don't know why they picked her hope they don't make it a commedy.
@hydrolito that's a great idea. I think it's funny how, even though we speculate that Anne is emulating Julie Newmar, her styling looks most like Eartha Kitt when she was catwoman. If you watch "Love and Other Drugs", you would see another side of Anne that is a little darker. But it's still not Michelle Pfeiffer or Eartha Kitt. I wasn't happy when I heard they chose Anne to be Catwoman.
Batgirl was introduced solely because they need Batman to have sexual tension with someone other than Catwoman now that she was played by Eartha Kitt.
