This is a shock. I am really saddened by this news, if I hadn't seen it here I would never have known. Japanese news probably woulnd make this a headline.
Say it aint so. No one ever played Catwoman like her. This saddens me to no end. Even more so than Betty's passing. Two lovely ladies gone in a year. My wife and I were listening to her version of Santa Baby just the other day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOMmSbxB_Sg
I have many Eartha Kitt albums. I'm less impressed with her later releases but her amazing voice has never diminished. She's a complete original and will definitely be missed..
