Eartha Kitt, whose “Santa, Baby” remains the sultriest Christmas song ever recorded, died Thursday (January 17, 1927 – December 25, 2008) on a holiday she turned into something both naughty and nice. Kitt, a versatile multi-media performer, engaging talk show regular and longtime human rights activist, was 81 and had been suffering from colon cancer.

R.I.P eartha kitt
Eartha Kitt will be truly missed as she was a pioneer in entertainment for African Americans. Before Halle Berry and Angela Bassett she showed the world that beauty came in color. May her soul rest in peace.

Spicy Wifey-
This is sad. One of my favorite quotes from her is, “I am learning all the time.
The tombstone will be
my diploma.” RIP Eartha~
