This was one of the most insightful interview I've ever seen. Eartha Kitt was so candid and articulated her past and pain so brilliantly. I'm from S.Carolina and I know what the women had to endure (unnecessary abuse). She is a prime example that you can rise out of the ashes and be a productive citizen. I did some research and found that this interview was conducted in 1978. Eartha Kitt was an amazing human being.
Eartha was a force of Nature, because of her early abuse, it made her a tough soul. The beauty is that despite her harsh upbringing it never hardened her heart. She was a beautiful soul inside and out. Its like her ancestors, African and Native American reached out and covered and protect her. She was in tune with her inner being. She was like a Shaman. She was unbreakable, she gave her voice when it was not popular. Her wisdom proved she was a visionary before her time, think the Vietnam war. She was and always will be a Star in every sense of the word. My only wish was that she had found that great love or romance for her lifetime. She deserved it but we all will always love her. Fans like us will always give her the love she always wanted.
@@GhettoRanger01 Somebody had to yell at Ladybird about the Vietnam war and get media coverage. Two things. And then she was entertaining and a beautiful, honest woman. I think she was tied for the best Catwoman. I like her thinking on taxes. That is at least five things.
I simply did not realize that Eartha Kitt was such a marvelous, sensitive, and wonderful woman. She deserved much better than what she got. I feel so bad that I did not see the beauty in this woman when she was alive. RIP dear lady...............
+Eileen Bento Me too Eileen, she was such a beautiful person. I am so glad I lived In a time, that I could experience her talent as a person. She spoke so many languages as well. RIP Eartha.
+charline Taylor Yes you are so right, unbelievable talent and beauty with brains and savvy...So happy we have You Tube to see all her wonderful music...
For having gone through so much, both personally and professionally. She was still able to encourage, and stand firm on her beliefs. While smiling. R.I.P. Eartha, 🙏🏾
Wow 😳 this lady was incredible. I was born in 64, so all I really know Ms. Kitt as is Cat Women. Moving forward for two weeks I’ve been listening & learning to her. Nothing but a Class Act with beauty and love for mankind.
Eartha Kitt was something special, Beautiful, Elegant, and Raw. Ron Scott..that brother was a giant in our community...and a great host. Two wonderful examples of the black experience in America.
this interview with eartha kitt is so relevant today as much as it was back then. she hit so many nails on the head. this interview shed light on her views and thoughts from an honest perspective. i could feel her sincerity deep. the poor is still just as poor as they were back then. the government still believe their way is right and some parents still don’t understand that their role in their children’s lives is the most important and the most valuable. it takes a village but if there’s no foundation things will simply fall apart. further more if there is something the child wishes to attain in their life they should go for it regardless. there were many good points in this interview. this woman deserves more than she gets that’s why i love old footage like this.
14:03 profound statements still relevant today !! Love her boldness her courage her brilliance and her intelligence !! She had a way with expressing her words to captivate her audience attention !! Thank you Eartha Kitt !! Rest easy ❤️
Wow Wow Wow, this is one of the most amazing interviews I've ever seen of anyone. yes great interviewer… so easy, mellow witted, interested and humble, never seen him b4. Eartha was so powerfully amazing, so beautiful, so utterly wise and creative. much love for her
My favorite interview of Ms. Eartha Kitt❤ she is truly beyond the clouds. Recently I watched her documentary "all by myself:Eartha Kitt" worth a watch!
6:18 -- "I am as I am, I was born that way and that's all. One shouldn't explain things like that". Absolutely perfect french, too. Even decades later, she's still amazing.
The inSPIRITation we received as Holy Spirit guided us to the clips of this Loving Demonstrator [expressing in Time/Space Continuum as "Eartha Kitt"] is as follows: Never Compromise the "authentic essence" ie [soul chart or Blue print] of what we came into Physicality to Express & Lovingly Experience
I’ve been watching so much on Eartha Kitt for over a week and I’m learning more and more about her through these clips on TH-cam. I grew up watching her on tv and still enjoy watching her but her intelligence and thinking was huge. This woman was one strong and determined woman who had so much going for her. Thank u Ms Kitt for all you’ve given us.
I've been watching a ton of interviews with Eartha lately, and I must say, this is the most relaxed I've ever seen her. Perhaps it has to do with calm ease of this smooth host, or just the vibes of relativity passing effortlessly between them.
Eartha Kitt IS A DOLL! Love her hair here AND her skin is flawless. Just glowing. EARTHA s a fitting name for her because she is divinely earthy. RIP LITTLE earth mother. Shalom. Wow. Just heard her say she watched Paul Robeson as folk threw stones at him. What an outrage. Reminds me of B.B. King telling a talk show host that he often kept his eyes closed when he sang and played because whites who came to his concerts when he was younger threw glass bottles and other dangerous objects at him while he was performing so he became accustomed to closing his eyes to protect himself. WOW! What a shameful piece of Americana. Thuggery like this is why AMERICA is the anagram: I AM RACE. So it is.
Ron Scott good graceful interview with Eartha kitt who is fabulously who she will herself to be in the midst of so much and still a giving loving intelligent humorous human being.
24:00... the point that MANY miss with us biracial and multiracial Black and White mixed Americans... Eartha is just, so beautiful. Can she please ascend from the grave again - sheesh? lol
I remember Eartha Kitt dance class in Watt in the Jordan Down projects center that she did 1965- I967. I wish I had gone. Thank you you Eartha!♥️♥️♥️ Beautiful.
Real Conversation....I Love This! I Love What She Was About...The Sensitivity...The Intelligence Of Knowing To Search First For The Root Of The Problem, Then The Answer(s)!
I adore EARTHA - she was amazing !! She is also speaking conservative views - not liberal mush / help where needed but- self responsibility is an absolute must !!
I love her even more after seeing this interview. The topics are still so very relevant in 2014. Which is a shame. We should be having original thought be the norm. A very inspiring woman. what interview makes us think these days. Name one popular artist that makes you think by watching their interview.
Profound, passionate, and powerful. I totally agree, her views are timeless. I could name a few artists that do the same but aren't known because one; they don't have the platform, and two; they are nowhere near as captivating to watch.
She blew their little tea party by asking a relevant question. How dare she! Flip the pages and we see these decades later that she was exactly on point. My Moms loved Earth Kitt because they had some similar experiences growing up.
I MUST SAY I WAY NOT AWARE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ESSENCE OF MOTHER EARTHA KITT! AND AFTER ENJOYING THIS INTERVEIW ,PEOPLE THIS EXPERIENCE WAS ONE TO GROW ON ! FREE UR MINDS AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW !!!!!!! RIP MS KITT!
such a great interview!!! she states truely things of importance* and he asks interesting stuff* thats quality! so glad to hear that! sure not for the last time!! :)
We still having the same issues today as we did 45 years ago we live in matrix of reality just different people this just shows this world is not meant to be fixed it's just all a game
The interviewers name is Ron Scott, and the show was made in 1978. An archive of his "Detroit Black Journal" interviews is here: abj.matrix.msu.edu/browse_2.php?type=host&search=Scott,%20Ron
This woman is as relevant today as she was yesterday. Brilliant interview. Vibes were definitely flowing between the two souls.
Also an amusing time capsule in form, Rosheena Beek.

She's so enlightened and passionate. What she said then is still relevant today!
I NEVER KNEW HOW AMAZING THIS WOMEN IS.....SHE IS SUCH A BOSS
@@GhettoRanger01 Somebody had to yell at Ladybird about the Vietnam war and get media coverage. Two things. And then she was entertaining and a beautiful, honest woman. I think she was tied for the best Catwoman. I like her thinking on taxes. That is at least five things.
I took my granddaughter to her free dance classes.
She showed up to give us a Master Class in South Central at a local school
she's so captivating.. she and the interviewer have amazing chemistry.
Indeed!
So a head of her time. Love her dearly
It all depends on your experience in Life. She is a True Warrior Queen.
Best interview. Love the way he finished it. She is one of the best human being of her time. Class and majestic dignity.
I simply did not realize that Eartha Kitt was such a marvelous, sensitive, and wonderful woman. She deserved much better than what she got. I feel so bad that I did not see the beauty in this woman when she was alive. RIP dear lady...............
Stephen Harrell, me too. Me too!
Two legendary human beings. Eartha Kitt and Ron Scott...beautiful chemistry, a real joy to watch.
I love you Ms Kitt..always.
I Love Eartha Kitt, she had such a sensitive soul with such a beautiful spirit..May she RIP!

+charline Taylor Yes you are so right, unbelievable talent and beauty with brains and savvy...So happy we have You Tube to see all her wonderful music...
Beautiful person! I just adored her as Catwoman, when I watched Batman! I liked the other Catwomen, too--Julie Newmar and the Meredith!
QUEEN EARTHA!! SO MUCH WISDOM AND SO MUCH TALENT. SO MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THIS WOMAN.
Eartha is fantastic, but this interviewer really knows how to do his job!
The world was a better place for having her in it and is a poorer place without her miss eartha may kitt thankyou xx
Eartha!!!!! Wish she was still with us!!!!!!! What a force of nature she was and is!!!!!
I always loved her beautiful, natural self. She was truly a natural and earthbound woman. Rest In Peace...Mother Eartha!
Ms. Kitt is a woman that can stand her grounds!
For having gone through so much, both personally and professionally. She was still able to encourage, and stand firm on her beliefs. While smiling. R.I.P. Eartha, 🙏🏾
Wow 😳 this lady was incredible. I was born in 64, so all I really know Ms. Kitt as is Cat Women. Moving forward for two weeks I’ve been listening & learning to her. Nothing but a Class Act with beauty and love for mankind.
Cynthia Hill exactly! Same she was extraordinary
Her energy is absolutely authentic! Starting crying when she talked about meeting Albert Einstein, such real vibration.

This may have changed my life
So have this changed your life finally Ronell Betts?
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. R.I.P Ms. Kitt
Fearless in her teachings, her insight...she is truly liberated in her being...her spirit is alive, nothing can stop her courage. Not even death...
14:03 profound statements still relevant today !! Love her boldness her courage her brilliance and her intelligence !! She had a way with expressing her words to captivate her audience attention !! Thank you Eartha Kitt !! Rest easy ❤️

My favourite black ICON 🧡🧡🧡
My favorite interview of Ms. Eartha Kitt❤ she is truly beyond the clouds.
Recently I watched her documentary "all by myself:Eartha Kitt" worth a watch!
One of my favorite kinds of youtube videos : vintage and eccentric.

What a wise human being!
I am from the Philippines and don't know much about her , but i been loving her all my life
She grew up the first decade of her life in abject poverty but grew up to become the most iconic entertainer in the world.
I may not agree with all .. but this woman is something Mars's Rover should be searching for .. I truly love her..
She blew their little tea party by asking a relevant question. How dare she! Flip the pages and we see these decades later that she was exactly on point. My Moms loved Earth Kitt because they had some similar experiences growing up.
I love listening to this incredible woman what she says at 2:53 about awareness of being in school all life is quite profound
Again at 3:26 it never ends
