Eartha Kitt as "Catwoman




Singer and actress Eartha Kitt has died, her publicist, Patty Freedman, told CNN on Thursday. She performed almost until the end of her life.

Her recording of the saucy Christmas song "Santa Baby" was certified gold last week.

Kitt was well known for her distinctive voice and made a name for herself in her portrayal of Catwoman in the television series "Batman." That role produced Kitt's recognizable sultry cat growl.

She lived to a pretty old age at least and I think was the best Catwoman ever .

She was performing just a week before her death, due to cancer. :(

Yes, and Orson Welles said she was the most exciting and beautiful woman. He was a man of wit and intelligence. She will be missed.
