    Ms. Shapiro, I was born the same year as you. I grew up loving your mom, as Cat Woman & other characters. I never knew her history but I do now. I have such a TREMENDOUS respect and admiration for your mom, well above what I had previously! I'm grateful to have experienced her performances in real time. And I'm really grateful for the amazing strength and character she showed all of us! She stood up against the giant, racist democrat machine....and won! God bless you and God bless her memory! 🙏 ✝️🥰

    This was lovely . Absolutely lovely. I was born in 1947. I too had "a thing" about the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy books. My mother's family also owned a United Cigar Store & I would "borrow" the Horatio Alger books for sale and read them voraciously in the back room of the store. They helped me to grow in faith & morally. You are a wonderful storyteller. Sorry if name icon comes up 2x. Some sort of computer glitch.

Her whole attitude and class were second to none. SO MANY people could learn from what she endured, how she handled it and all through it, she was the best mom a child could have... What a lucky person you are to have had this super person in your life, your mother...

    Thank you for this video. My grandfather said the same thing as your mom. Appreciate the land because they aren't making anymore. I was a kid when my parents would watch her movies and I watched with them. She was so glamorous and beautiful. My favorite video is the one where she is interviewed on Love and compromise. She was so on target with that. Her candor was profound and way ahead of her time. I personally want to thank you because I know how she supported the LGBT community as I am a gay guy and I appreciated her and all she did for equality, not just for African Americans but for soldiers, women and LGBT concerns. She was a maverick, a pioneer much like Rosa Parks and Maya Angelou. I hope one day to be able to shake the hand that held hers. Have a GREAT 2019. Dr James.

    I remember going to BBkings in nyc and your mother was the headliner. I did everything I could to get off work early and I actually made it on time. She spoke to the crowd and I screamed that I loved her work and she actually spoke to me and asked me where I was from. I told her NYC...she responded 'Of course you're sassy" smiled and tapped my shoulder. I never forgot that day! Her memory always reminds me to love life and to be kind and most importantly be an individual. If you read this, Thank you!

  • @TRONwuzhere82
    @TRONwuzhere82 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    That was beautiful. I just watched an interview of your mom on the Speaking Freely show with Ken Paulson back in 2001. She is simply one of the most extraordinary human beings because she chose to see the beauty in her life and rose above all of her disappointments and pain. Some people who were neglected or abused in their childhoods are not able to do that, and treat their own children the harsh and brutal way they were treated. The fact that your mother told you that she loved you every single day is proof that she refused to make you the beneficiary of her tears. She gave you what she was denied and I can't really even begin to fully express the potency of that validation. You were truly blessed to have such an extraordinary mother. Thank you for sharing just some of your amazing experiences with a bunch of us strangers. Paz.

    Years ago I was playing in a band with trumpeter Danny Stiles, he talked about playing a show starring Eartha Kitt and that she had her beautiful blonde daughter with her - that must have been you! :) When I watched videos of Eartha talking about her early life I was surprised, with her regal bearing and refined manner of speaking I would have assumed she was raised in affluence.
