Manage episode 345926158 series 3351428
In this episode we discuss the one and only Eartha Kitt, an American actress and singer from the mid-twentieth century. We cover her rise to fame, from her early singing career to her role as Catwoman and beyond. Then we look at some of the factors that led to her being ostracized by Hollywood including one particular interaction with a certain first lady. Finally we talk about her involvement with activism, her support for the LGBTQIA+ community, and how she unknowingly opened doors for other Black actresses.
Trigger warnings: Abuse, rape, racism
