Eartha Kitt

The 1966 Batman Villains - Eartha Kitt (http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/7537/cat2.htm). She has now largely retired from acting, and concentrates on photography and business ventures. Kitt lent her distinctive voice to the role of Yzma in The Emperor's New Groove and is currently doing other voice over work such as the voice of Queen Vexus on My Life as a Teenage Robot. Her beauty brought her to the attention of Hollywood, making her first "American" film in 1954, following which she was cast in a series of light romantic comedies considered minor by some. One of her more unusual roles was as Kaa the python in a 1994 BBC Radio adaptation of The Jungle Book. (They had one son, and were divorced in 1971). In the Batman television series of the 1960s, she played "Catwoman" in succession to Julie Newmar. In 1949 she married a Yugoslavian physician, Milko Skofic.

Eartha Kitt made her film debut in 1958, and was once described by Orson Welles as "the most exciting girl in the world". She began appearing in Italian language films. Her hits include "Let's Do It," "An Old-Fashioned Millionaire" and "Santa Baby.". She was born Luigina Lollobrigida at Subiaco near Rome, and became a fashion model and beauty contestant. She was born illegitimate in South Carolina, but jokes about the fact that many audiences assume her to be from somewhere more exotic. Gina Lollobridiga (born 4 July 1927) is an Italian actress. Eartha Mae Kitt, born January 17, 1927, is an actress and singer.
