We must confess Eartha Kitt never appealed to us -- she uncomfortably straddled the border with camp -- but we more than understand why she appealed to others, and we definitely understand why there are no Eartha Kitts anymore, BRITNEYS notwithstanding.
Curious footnote: She co-starred with the unlikely Eddie Bracken in a flop musical adaptation of the great Don Marquis's* "archy" verse called Shinbone Alley, written by Mel Brooks before he became a GENIUS. (Some Llord Lloud Wubbish fan must have typed this.) *Pronounced mar-KWIS. Lloud Wubbish fans can pronounce it mar-KEE.
