Eartha Kitt as Catwoman, 1960’s

Eartha Mae Kitt | January 17, 1927 - December 25, 2008

“The children of America are not rebelling for no reason. They are not hippies for no reason at all. We don’t have what we have on Sunset Blvd. for no reason. They are rebelling against something. There are so many things burning the people of this country, particularly mothers. They feel they are going to raise sons — and I know what it’s like, and you have children of your own, Mrs. Johnson — we raise children and send them to war.”

- Eartha Kitt in a controversial address about the Vietnam War to President Lyndon Johnson, 1968

Isn’t love a union between two people or does Eartha fall in love with herself?
