Incredible beauty, elegance, dignity and brains. She stood up for what she believed in. She was a real inspiration, never "just" a sex symbol. Eartha Kitt was so loved in Europe, but I am glad she got to go home. Rest in Peace Ms Kitt.
Eartha Kitt is one of the reasons I was inspired to get involved in theater. My introduction to her was through "The Emperor's New Groove" where she voiced Yzma, and I later discovered the dozens of other wonderful work she's done and read her autobiographies and found her to be a truly fascinating, amazing woman. I even wrote to her and she was gracious enough to send a reply. I will always have a great respect for her. RIP, Eartha. We love you.
The wonderful beautiful Ms Eartha Kitt,we need a voice like hers now but very few people can speak and act like her with such grace and integrity and wisdom.She is one of the rarest types of human being,always true to herself.
One of a kind......I can't take my eyes off of her, even at 81! I hang on every word and watch her genius keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Eartha was an incredible talent right to the end!
What a woman! I'm in my 40s and she's a very attractive woman! My mother always was a great fan of Eartha Kitt. She said she felt EK was a genius because of how she could sing in four or five languages and because of all the hell she taught her way through. She was a national treasure.
And to think this was one of her final stage appearances on earth is just too incredible to believe. What a graceful Diva!May the Good Lord afford her everlasting life in the hereafter.
What a wonderful singer and actress. My mom talked about Kitt to my mom's friend. She told me what she said at work. I started to have a huge obsession with Kitt. I talk to my friends about it at school. I told them I had 3 pictures of Kitt on my iPad. I'm going to later get more on my iPad today. She is one of a kind! R.I.P Eartha Kitt.
What an inspiration to the world. My God how can anyone ever turn her away. You Eartha are a legend. Peace from all your fans in New York City.... This brought tears to my eyes..
eartha was an amazing woman. stuggles and hardship did not hold her back...she did not believe in barriers...and she proved it...she was and is still an amazing woman
Eartha was a true legend in her own time. I was fortunate enough to be able to see her perform at Blues Alley in Georgetown about 10 years ago..and then blessed enough to be able to meet her after the show, (We literally shared a bottle of champagne..and I still have the signed bottle.) She was an exceptionally talented and gracious woman...and one of the few who TRULY earned the title of "Diva", God bless you, Miss Kitt. RIP.
There are many great entertainers..but there is only 1 Eartha Kitt...Thank you for this great Video...I hope the younger generation will get to know of her...She is one of America's greatest Treasure's.....
Incredible that she died so soon after.. though 81 she seems in such good health.... we will never see her like again... saw her in Dublin in the mid 90s and her show was fantastic...
I think she got better looking as she got older! Incredible life and a true surviver of trauma and made an incredible impact in the entertainment world.💕
Her story needs to be told. If we can see movies about Elvis and Judy garland, this story too should be told. An incredible human being. God bless you Ms.Kitt.
omg I am completely in love with Ms Eartha Kitt...we are sister spirits. I was completely devastated when she passed away. I felt like a part of me had died also.
Her soul is shining through... She is a amazing woman and I wish I was able to meet her to get some face to face wisdom and knowledge from her... But a person like this lives on inside of everyone who are inspired by freedom visions and believing in their dreams... May your Soul rest in Paradise Ms. Eartha Kitt.
A remarkable woman with a extraordinary past. Those of you who are reading this. Please view the U-Tube video of her life. She came through hard times.
WOW! She was, is & will ALWAYS be an "Iconic, Prolific, Legend of Class, Grace, Poise, Intelligence, Strength, Wisdom, Knowledge & with a Keen Sense of Humor"! NOTE: She will continue to "Inspire Generations to Come & will ALWAYS be TRUELY 💘 LOVED & MISSED"!!! 👑💪👄☺😃❤
there are a number of people that Ive seen in concert in my life...some of the greatest singers we've ever heard of. I'll spare the names, because what Im most proud of, is that I got to see Nina Simone at Constitution Hall in my hometown, Wash/DC, a few yrs before she died...the legendary, latin icon Mrs Celia Cruz at an outside festival in my hometown, DC, in 2000...and the late, diva of all divas, Eartha Kitt in a Broadway production that she performed in, when she replaced Chita Rivera, in 2003...it was called "Nine". And to see her make her entrance on a stage that was flooded with water and smoke (intentionally, done for affect), was like seeing the face of God. I will never forget it. And everytime I brag about having seen her, LIVE..the people that I tell, are always blown away. That is the legacy of Eartha Kitt. There was NO ONE like her.
Eartha Kitt is hilarious. I don’t usually research into celebrity lives, but Eartha Kitt is worth looking into if you’re interested. She overcame so much in her life that she is really to be admired. An amazing woman and what a great speech.
Eartha fue unica, una gran estrella, artista por excelencia . Mujer comprometida con sus ideales, luchadora , tenaz , elegante y exquisita. Nunca te olvidare, ni como artista y como persona. Seres como tu nunca deberian morir. Descansa en paz querida Eartha

thats a good comment that person made she died shortly after this and was making alllllot of appearences everywhere and never looked or sounded ill i wonder if she knew too
I will reframe from my own views about Eartha Kitt and reflect on what she allowed us to know about her. Eartha is an icon who was and is loved, beautiful beyond compare. No move can ruen a life and image she created, Eddie Murphy is an asshole. Women like stars in the universe get brighter more vibrant with age, as did Eratha Kitt forever a beautiful star.
She died that year. Amazing lady she was, is and forever will be.
An absolute icon.
Incredible beauty, elegance, dignity and brains. She stood up for what she believed in. She was a real inspiration, never "just" a sex symbol. Eartha Kitt was so loved in Europe, but I am glad she got to go home. Rest in Peace Ms Kitt.
She was beautiful in every way. So sadly missed. 😥
Glad she received this award before her death. R.I.P. Eartha Kitt!
What an incredible human being... God bless her.
She was 81 here?! Wow!
She did not move like an 81 year old, damn.
Some time GOD allows things to happen i don't know why she real woman
Love you from a child make my black skin look and feel price less🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
She did not eat process food

One of a kind......I can't take my eyes off of her, even at 81! I hang on every word and watch her genius keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Eartha was an incredible talent right to the end!
Kitt, I hope your mother knew how much she was loved and admired. May she rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏
Glorious Eartha, we so need her around now.

A true Dame, Diva and Divine lady indeed.
The song being played, as they introduce Eartha Kit to the stage, makes me very happy. I must have it.
Eartha was absolutely amazing. What a joy to have learned about her and to continue learning via TH-cam.
Yes! The next generations have to know on TH-cam about this amazing art personality and your great performances for almost six decades.
One of the most amazing and inspirational humans ever. pure awesome.
Incredible that she died so soon after.. though 81 she seems in such good health.... we will never see her like again... saw her in Dublin in the mid 90s and her show was fantastic...

thats a good comment that person made she died shortly after this and was making alllllot of appearences everywhere and never looked or sounded ill i wonder if she knew too
By THAT time, she knew she had Colon Cancer. She was SUCH an EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN. R.I.P.
Do you have a vid of her entire acceptance speech? Thanks for posting this!!!
3:52 I agree with her. Like me, she would be sad to see that in 2021 the _'woke'_ believe we should *NEVER FORGET* these things.
I love u 💜💋
❤
She looked so healthy here. And she died just some few months later. What happened to her? :(
SeveralMimi she had colon cancer.
Intelligent person
