Eartha Kitt was a one off. We have never seen her like before or since. Orson Wells was so right when he said she was the most exciting woman in the world. 😊
There aren't words that adequately describe Eartha. I'm so sorry she's gone because the world is missing out on such an incredible human being, and what a story teller she was!! I could listen to that beautiful woman all day.
She was and is still completely underrated. I truly believe she was on par with Bette Davis and the likes. If Hollywood didn’t blacklist her and accepted her, she would have given us so many more amazing performances (although I adore her for what she has given). A lot of props to Sally for giving her this beautiful and sensitive spotlight.
Her story growing up is truly heart wrenching and tragic. For anyone to have to endure sexual, physical, mental, emotional abuse is truly more than any human can bear. I think laughing is her way of coping, but as someone listening to this, I could not laugh at it or have a smirk like this presenter did. It’s highly insensitive and inappropriate quite honestly. Deep respect for her for being able to narrate her own story without shedding a tear no matter how bad you are overcome with emotion. Sometimes we make our own stories as bad as we want to in our minds not knowing what others are going through. Peace and love to all.
What all African Americans ancestors went through... great grandparent like eartha 1 generation removed from slavery. And wonder why as people we are angry. Because people say just forget
@@alexiswilliams8475 Yes all African American ancestors went through the horrors of racism and -- if we go back far enough -- slavery. But not all were abused by their families; that's a stereotype. Black families have been a bedrock of survival since before Emancipation.
I love Eartha Kitt!! She was extremely damaged!! She was treated horribly,subhuman It's heartbreaking. It makes you angry that someone was treated so badly.She carried that hurt her entire life.I wish that things could've been better for her!! She was beautiful and talented. Wow!!! I'm very sorry that she had to endure the things in her childhood. She was a wonderful mother as well.
her mother being 14 years old is not mature enough to comprehend how to take care of children,, especially in that racism age.... what a story of human strength and resilience
Incredible woman! It’s amazing she never suffered from drug addiction with all of the success and her demons to slay, what a role model for anyone. I’m paraphrasing … “Eat good food, take care of your body, think good thoughts and don’t allow negative people in your life” Eartha Kitt 🙏🏼
When she spoke of seeing her mother come back for them in the woods in the morning dew skirt lifted with food it was such amazing imagery I could listen to her speak forever she was amazing !
Our pain and heart are unprecedented in the history of the world but then we read. [James Baldwin] Make it plain. [Brother Minister Malcolm] Respect ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️ Ms.Kitt
It was my honor to meet Eartha Kitt at NYCs radio city music hall back stage. My sister & I were the only 2 she let back stage to meet her. She did not warm to my pretentious sister but she gave me a charming smile. She was a wise judge of character because my sister tormented me, high yellow me. High yellow hatred is real in the Black community & white community, even in 2022. She's right, you try to survive by becoming invisible & mute. You'd be shocked to discover how many Black families practice these ungodly acts. he was amazing as a talent & human being. I was so shy in her magnificent presence. She was a Black girl rock star that still shines to me, in her recordings & movies.
From rags to riches. It was a horrible time growing up. It's so sad.It can make you stronger but what a horrible way to live through. Love Eartha Ktt.A true legend and icon! Her daughter is gorgeous!
Very tragic. I felt the same way most of my childhood being half Black and Japanese. Where do I fit? Your own family rejecting you, peers at school doing the same. Sexual abuse and beatings and dysfunctional relationships that became self destructive in my younger years. I honestly thanks God for all the wisdom I acquired throughout time, able to forgive and educate my self. Following my passion which it’s painting and making sure my heart does not age with pain and choose instead love and compassion. My respect for this beautiful lady. She had to have the most tremendous inner strength to overcome life challenges , I understand her perfectly and listening to her makes me realized that even though I am a survivor, there is others who their suffering is or has been much worse. We overcome all life challenges by the supernatural power of God, remember that.
God Bless you and your strength, dear Ms Isabel...you are a true inspiration. So sorry you went through such horror. Thank you for sharing your truth and wisdom! 🙏💜
No such thing as a Black. That term came from English speaking Europeans that later applied that word to Africans. Africans never spoke English nor did they refer themselves as such.
@@sharjjahnaziz4122 There is no such thing for many of the racial labels people use, but it doesn't dismiss the fact that people use them to describe their life experiences. You missed what is essential about the OP story.
What an absolute gem this is. Her early story would be the end of so many, myself included. It's incredible to see what she became and the amazing experiences she shared with millions of people world wide. thanks so much for uploading this amazing piece of history
"Being a non speaking child".... And why is this woman's life not chronicled in a film? Wow... This is the kind of truth that permeates uncomfortably within a society too afraid to admit its generational dysfunctions and or tyrannies.
Rose above...a shining light for all to see...miss u Eartha, Santa baby will always be a 54 convertible, and Catwoman will always have a purrrr-fect accent!!! 💯🎶😎👆✌️🎶💥
Remarkable story Eartha.. so so happy that she was able to be a mother and show her daughter love that she never received as a child. Good reminder to be kind to everyone because you don’t know what they have been through or are still going through.. I think Sally did a good job with the interview. I felt that Eartha definitely had time to express herself during the segment. Rest In Peace Eartha 🌍
Such a sad but Remarkable womn I have never heard such a interview Eartha gave such an open interview I am sure that in this era there was so much of this that happened Eartha was and still is an Inspiration to so many people .Eartha is a true Star
What a remarkable woman. I first saw her when. She became famous. On the screen singing "Daddy" I want a brand new car" Always loved and admired Eartha Kitt.
Sally was truly a great show! When you see this interview, you can tell that she raised her daughter well! So it's crazy that she had to explain herself on social media, when people said that she wasn't her daughter! Eartha pushed through the odds to educate herself, learn the world, and made sure her daughter would be a reflection of that, and not what she had to endure! Bravo icon
I use to date a guy who would often refer to me as Eartha Kitt. Back then, I took it as an insult because that’s how he meant it and also because I was uneducated about her story and her history. Like Ms. Kitt, my life was described using “the 6 words” too! But what my Ex meant for evil, God meant for good. This interview is so on time for me; I’m up watching it at the crack of Dawn because I couldn’t sleep and somehow it popped up in my recommended watches. Today, I receive being referred to Ms. Kitt as an honor. Life has new meaning to me and on the days should I feel anything other than that, I’ll draw strength from her legacy! Thank You Ms KITT and continue to Rest In Peace. You would’ve been 95 this year!! What a great interview. New Subscriber here! Thanks Aaron, I hope to see more inspirational uploads from your channel.
😂😂😂 that’s like how my hubby calls me a diva like Mariah Carey. He’s always pointing out her bad traits, I still take it as a compliment because Mariah is divine. To be called Eartha Kitt as an insult would be the best thing someone could say to me 😂😂😂😂
The stereotype of “a good southern family, of Baptist or Protestant faith” is false. Ertha’s upbringing is a testament to that cruel reality she endured. To what ends these people need to prove their superiority and why? Only their small and narrow minds will know. The mix of all ethnicities such as Eartha’s, brings beautiful results to the American fabric. Thank you Miss Kitt for sharing your story. I’m sorry you had to endure such cruel treatment. I’m glad you were able to create such a wonderful life and fruitful career. RIP lovely lady. 💐💖
I will never call anyone high yellow again. Being black we’ve used that term that described someone light skinned or mixed and never really knew it’s origins
I have close family members that are high yellow, olive , red bone . I don’t remember calling them yella , but it doesn’t have to be a derogatory term. However , right here she doesn’t look high yella . She looks cinnamon a bright spicy yellow brown. Kinda like Halle .. her color is beautiful. I am so saddened that something that was beautiful was used against her.
@@MiamiPush2theLimit Anna Lucosta, a great movie she starred in, was rejected by many because critics said she was too light on black and white film to be kissing a black man.
I never knew anything about this woman except that she was playing on Batman. What’s beautiful and mesmerizing person this was. I wish I could have met her.
This beautiful talented precious woman was unfairly treated and it's not okay and my heart goes out to her I was an orphan and I know about earning your keep everyone expects that of you when you're an orphan but through no fault of her own she was treated so badly that I know God will put her up high when she gets to heaven. Love you Ertha, biblically your story reminds me of Joseph and the coat of many colors not exactly but he was a prisoner and betrayed by his own Brothers and Rose from slavery to the highest level possible in that time. But he kept his good heart as you kept yours and who couldn't love you now I just wish we were friends then I wouldn't care that you were yellow.
What a spectacular person! All of the pain and suffering she endured, she never gave up and even excelled in her life. I have seen interviews with her daughter and she is a very self-actualized and amazing person. It is like Eartha worked hard to make sure her daughter had a much better childhood and life than she had. One thing that always comes to mind, when I think of Eartha, is her amazing smile that would light up the room. Her story needs to be heard by everyone. I am going to get her book, "Thursday's Child", so I can read more about her life.
Eartha, who cares what people says about you. I've never heard anything bat about you. You're my star for many many years. Them that mistreated you is not worth thinking of. I know because I've been through it and yes it hurts at times but we survived.
I watched a you tube video of her daughter on Tameron Hall show and it's hard to see that she is mixed but I can see it in this younger video of her daughter. People were saying that Eartha Kitt mush have adopted her since she looks white so she spoke out people's comments. People are down right nasty about what they don't understand.
Sally such a Beautiful Eloquent Woman...a Power in Her Own Right Too...I loved her show. How well she honored Eartha....Bravo Sally....Strong Women Applaud You
I want to hug her♥️. I have always liked her as an entertainer, but really had no idea of her hardships growing up. Her daughter tells a phenomenal story about their trip to South Africa, and an incident that happened. She turned a negative into a positive. Amazing.
It seems the Blacks didn’t accept her as a mix child and neither did the Whites. Both races were resentful of each other and a mix child bears the resentments from both sides. It’s either a person was Black or White, not both during those deeply racist times. What a hard life for Eartha and her mother and her other children. Life.
What, A Resilient & Remarkable Lady, Ms. Eartha Kitt Was. Her Life, Though Marred From So, Much Tragedy She Went On To Triumph. God's Blessings To A Wonderful Legend! And,Thank You For All Those, Amazing Contributions... ✨💖👏
she deserved a standing ovation!
I couldn't believe that audience just sat there when she came out. They should have jumped to their feet.
Never mind standing ovation pray to the one and only God forgive her Sims gives her heaven inshaAllah amiin
That audience was appalling!!
Amen

We had a silver cup bread bakery factory here in Detroit back in the 1950's & prior. It was a huge brick building on E. Vernor & Chene street. My grandma went to school across the street at Miller High & used to talk about the smell of fresh bread. It was abandoned for many years & burned down in 1989. The site now is a nursing home.

I loved her singing !
I think you summed her up brilliantly! And such an intelligent lady .
She was very old, that's why she died
She was and is still completely underrated. I truly believe she was on par with Bette Davis and the likes. If Hollywood didn’t blacklist her and accepted her, she would have given us so many more amazing performances (although I adore her for what she has given). A lot of props to Sally for giving her this beautiful and sensitive spotlight.
I have found a new hero in Miss Eartha Kitt, a truly fascinating, courageous incomparable and down to earth lady. Rest In Peace.
I agree❤
Her story growing up is truly heart wrenching and tragic. For anyone to have to endure sexual, physical, mental, emotional abuse is truly more than any human can bear. I think laughing is her way of coping, but as someone listening to this, I could not laugh at it or have a smirk like this presenter did. It’s highly insensitive and inappropriate quite honestly. Deep respect for her for being able to narrate her own story without shedding a tear no matter how bad you are overcome with emotion.

She was so intelligent and articulate on top of being beautiful and talented
Someone needs to really write her story for a movie. She is always amazing. One of my sheroes in life.

Do you mean you never studied your people's history? How sad. You can't expect the historical oppressor to teach you your true history.
I have close family members that are high yellow, olive , red bone . I don’t remember calling them yella , but it doesn’t have to be a derogatory term. However , right here she doesn’t look high yella . She looks cinnamon a bright spicy yellow brown. Kinda like Halle .. her color is beautiful. I am so saddened that something that was beautiful was used against her.

It seems the Blacks didn’t accept her as a mix child and neither did the Whites. Both races were resentful of each other and a mix child bears the resentments from both sides. It’s either a person was Black or White, not both during those deeply racist times. What a hard life for Eartha and her mother and her other children. Life.
