Eartha Kitt: Purr-fect as Catwoman
Eartha Kitt, who died Thursday at 81, had a rich showbiz career as a dancer, actress and singer.
But we'll always recall the sultry star as the third Catwoman on "Batman," following in the claw-steps of Julie Newmar and Lee Meriwether.
Here's a great clip of Ms. Kitt as Catwoman (teaming up with Cesar Romero as the Joker) in an episode from the show's jump-the-bat era (originally airing Jan. 4, 1968) , namely when Yvonne Craig joined the cast as Batgirl.
