From the AP- “Eartha Kitt, the self-proclaimed “sex kitten” whose sultry voice and catlike purr attracted fans even as she neared 80, has died. The singer, dancer and actress was 81.
Family spokesman Andrew Freedman said Kitt, who was recently treated at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, died Thursday in Connecticut of colon cancer.”
I saw her perform live at the Carlyle room about 10 years ago. She was one of the most memorable performers I ever saw, definitely deserves the title of legend.
