Eartha Kitt, sultry 'Santa Baby' singer, dies
Meryl:
I was surprised to hear about Eartha Kitt. I worked on "Cinderella" a few years ago, when she played the Fairy Godmother. She was in fantastic shape and seemed a likely candidate to reach 100. A very nice lady and fine colleague, too. God bless, Eartha. :-*
David In Indy:
Such DREADFUL news on an otherwise perfect Christmas Day! :'(
I was so sorry to hear about this. When I was a kid I would stand in front of the bathroom mirror with a hair brush in my hand for a microphone and imitate Eartha Kitt. I've loved her ever since my youth. I will truly miss her! :(
