You forgot to mention she was a genius. She spoke multiple languages fluently and several others passably. Plus, she was the BEST catwoman.

@@MusicFreak61594 TL;DR, LBJ and his wife Lady Bird Johnson invited Eartha to a White House function to “solve” the problem with underprivileged youth turning to delinquency or something like that when really it was just a façade for the wives of politicians to have a luncheon. She took that as an opportunity to speak out against the war in Vietnam which Johnson was escalating at the time. They didn’t like being called out to their faces, so they made it a point to disgrace her as much as they could and make it basically impossible for her to get work in the US. Then in 1974 it came out that the CIA had a dossier solely dedicated to investigating and disgracing her and a few years later President Jimmy Carter had their actions undone and IIRC he apologized to her personally for being essentially blacklisted (or as she put it herself “whitelisted”) from America.

LITERALLY JUJUBEE NAILED HER

Don’t forget the saucy “I Want to Be Evil”

America also labled her a terr or ist and Ertha Kitt was forced to live in france because of all the death threats. America named Malcom X and Dr. Martin Luther King terr or ist as well. Basically Ertha Kitt was the 1st person to ever say Black Llived Matter, she was saying it to the president at that time because of the way Black people were being lynched after coming home from serving in the Vietnam War. I adore Ertha Kitt so proud shes my ancestor.

I love her voice

I loved her! She was so cool. She was so talented as a singer and actor.

Oh baby you left out so much about her. Maybe it was a way to intrigue people into thinking about her. This woman was revolutionary.

MS. EARTHA WAS A TRIPLE THREAT . SHE COULD DANCE, ACT AND SING . REST IN HEAVENLY PARADISE MS. KITT WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

The dance company referenced that Ms. Kitt joined early in her career is the renowned Katherine Dunham Company, the 1st Black modern dance company, founded in Chicago in 1930. Besides Ms Kitt, Alvin Ailey was a prominent alumnus

This is my Catwoman. She was THE best!

The only thing I found surprising in this video was the lack of information. No mention of being black-balled or her childhood. A whitewashed blurb about her activism. No mention of her status as a gay icon. Or any of her infamous quotes about men. 😢

I’ve become so obsessed with her and her music lately ❤

I love her so much

Beautiful lady..... R-I-P

One of the best there ever was. No one like her, before or since! Period! 🔥

I love her so much. 💜 How could this short glance over the fact she called out LBJ at Ladybird's luncheon and was blacklisted from Hollywood (hence that us why she stayed in Paris). Her CIA dossier classified her with the title similar to "a sex obsessed nymphomaniac."

They called her “scandalous” 🤨 … 🤔🧐 more like ✨ iconic ✨ ✨ compassionate ✨ and ✨ revolutionary ✨ 🙌🏾🤩🤟🏾🥰🫶🏾😍🫰🏾

I am never going to hear "Santa Baby" the same way again for the rest of my life.

In a world full of Kardashians be a Kitt! I adore and admire Eartha Kitt! She was and still is so influential.

I’d love a full length video about her life!

Zendaya is way better looking than eartha kitt.

She also spoke out for social causes and against the Vietnam war at great personal cost in 1968, directly to President Johnson and his First Lady. As a result and at their personal direction she was tracked and slandered by the CIA and lost all her contracts and roles. They wanted to make her invisible but they couldn't for long. She was the embodiment of the expression "They tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds."

R.I.P. 🥰

Fun fact: Eartha was close friends with James dean.

Gorgeous woman ❤

And she was the grandmother in the Disney movie Holes. Such an icon! ❤

look up her singing the song "i wanna be evil" classic

Forever my queen.

She's also born in South Carolina

Extraordinary features-classic timeless beauty

Actually i only KNEW her from Yzma first bc thats the first thing i saw of her as a Child and she was in the behind the scenes

I'm still waiting for her movie

I love eartha!!!!! Especially after voicing yzma!

Eartha was against America in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh in fact was a brutal mass-murderer of landlords. Ken Burns himself showed this of Ho.

If you're trying to make Ho Chi Minh sound unappealing you're doing a bad job. I've seen more people have their lives ruined/ended by landlords than the other way around, IMO it's just self defence to fight back. Like swatting a mosquito -- only difference is mosquitos need to feed to survive, landlords *choose* to be parasites.

Post Grace Jones and Josephine Premice

Iconic

She was an unfathomably gorgeous woman and the role she may be best known for is that of a woman described as "Horrifying beyond all reason."

TRUE TRUE LEGEND FACT 😊

This icon was truly a women's woman. She lived life like most only dream of. If Beyonce ever met ms. Kit, she would be standing at attention like Ms. Kit was a 4 star general! One of a kind. Beeleedat!

So you told us FOUR things.

She was ok but I was never that crazy over her, especially when she was on Batman in the 60's and 70's. My favorite catwoman was Julie Newmart!

Bring the Boys Back Home, President Johnson.

I'm still waiting for you to say what the "SCANDAL" was!!!!!! "EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT!... WOMAN SHOWS ANKLE!!!" 😤

If she was cast as Helen of Troy today people would be burning theaters screaming wokism is being shoved in our faces 😑

Um.. she didn’t just decide to goto paris she was pushed out of Hollywood.

The only one "surprised" that she was the VA of Ysma is you

Lzdy bird johnson was jealous of her. And she blocked Eartha from performing in US. LBJ had a thing for tan ladies.

What was scandalous?

Wait what’s the scandal she just worked in entertainment 🤣 I mean it sounds like she didn’t even do coke (which by comparison is not that scandalous).

Well I mean if the guy had a car he could have went to get something to eat and maybe get the girlfriend something too rather than be a immature idiot who rely on others to feed him!

Throwing black people a bone on Juneteenth .. classic.

Don't care thank you. Don't know who she is.

Also in Ernest scared stupid
