"Now in her fifth decade of making
men nervous, Eartha Kitt still electrifies audiences with her one-of-a-kind persona, peppering her flirty set with gold-digging songs about champagne, stretch limos and pearls," said the Associated Press. Ms. Kitt
continued to captivate audiences during a 12-week engagement at New York's Cafe Carlyle in 1998. Mark Kennedy of the Associated Press noted that "in an era when cabaret is mostly musty theatre, Kitt's shows are
fresh and vibrant--and increasingly being embraced by Gen-Xers." Ms. Kitt was recently seen in a multi-city national tour as the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz
which received rave reviews. She is writing a book with her daughter titled Down to Eartha, is recording a new CD, and can be found on the soundtrack of Ed Wood's movie, I Woke Up Early
the Day I Died. You can also find Ms. Kitt's trademark voice in a number of voice-overs, including commercials for Milky Way Light and Skippy Peanut Butter.
Eartha Kitt is the national spokesperson for Project On Growing, a program teaching homeless families to grow their own food and feed themselves. |
