Eartha Mae Kitt, born January 17, 1927, is an actress and singer.

She was born illegitimate in South Carolina, but jokes about the fact that many audiences assume her to be from somewhere more exotic. Her hits include "Let's Do It," "An Old-Fashioned Millionaire" and "Santa Baby."

Eartha Kitt made her film debut in 1958, and was once described by Orson Welles as "the most exciting girl in the world". In the Batman television series of the 1960s, she played "Catwoman" in succession to Julie Newmar.

One of her more unusual roles was as Kaa the python in a 1994 BBC Radio adaptation of The Jungle Book. Kitt lent her distinctive voice to the role of Yzma in The Emperor's New Groove and is currently doing other voiceover work such as the voice of Queen Vexus on the TV series My Life as a Teenage Robot.
