Great Loss: Eartha Kitt
A great woman, actress, and entertainer has died today. Eartha Kitt has passed on.
A family friend says Eartha Kitt, a sultry singer, dancer and actress who rose from South Carolina cotton fields to become an international symbol of elegance and sensuality, has died. She was 81.
Andrew Freedman says Kitt died Thursday of colon cancer and was recently treated at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York.
Kitt, a self-proclaimed "sex kitten" famous for her catlike purr, was one of America's most versatile performers, winning two Emmys and getting a third nomination. She also was nominated for two Tony Awards and a Grammy.
I hope her family are fine...She will be missed

The Stuff
- Wonder Man
- I'm very laid back and easy going. I like to meet people, read, talk about politics, culture and life. I am a huge comic book fan (X-Men family and Wonder Woman) I also want to say that I am a proud black gay man...no 'down low' drama here

Man! Really sad news. I just listened to her Santa Baby.
Oh no, I hate to hear that. What a talent.
Who could ever forget her role as Catwoman in the old Batman series.

This is an huge shock, I had no idea she was ill. I have always thought of her as an incomparable performer in many genres.
