Eartha Kitt is gone, long live Eartha Kitt

December 25, 2008

The self-proclaimed sex kitten, who worked to promote MAC’s cosmetic line as late as 2007, has passed away today at the age of 81.  She trailblazed for Tina Turner, Cher, and Madonna, demonstrating that you can have a career as dynamic as it is long.  Caberet singer, actress, temptress, girl next door, diva, legendary, Earth was one of the originals.  R.I.P. Eartha, your music stays with us.
