Биография
Early Life
Eartha Mae Kitt was born on January 17, 1927, in North, South Carolina. Her mother, Annie Mae Keith, was of Cherokee and African descent, and Kitt's early life was marked by hardship and abuse. Raised by a relative named Aunt Rosa, she often faced food scarcity and relied on foraging for sustenance. After her mother's death, she moved to Harlem to live with another relative, Mamie Kitt, whom she believed to be her biological mother.
Career
Kitt's career began in 1943 as a member of the Katherine Dunham Company, where she honed her unique vocal style. She gained fame for her distinctive voice and hit songs, including "Santa Baby" and "C'est si bon." Her performances showcased her fluency in multiple languages, as she sang in 11 different tongues. Kitt's career peaked in the 1950s when she starred in Orson Welles' production of "Dr. Faustus" and the revue "New Faces of 1952." Her contributions to music and theater earned her an Annie Award and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Personal Life and Activism
Kitt married John William McDonald in 1960, with whom she had a daughter, Kitt McDonald Shapiro. The couple separated in 1963 and divorced the following year. Beyond her artistic endeavors, Kitt was a passionate activist, founding the Kittsville Youth Foundation in 1966 to support underprivileged youth. She was vocal about social issues, including her criticism of the Vietnam War, and worked to empower marginalized communities throughout her life. Kitt passed away on December 25, 2008, leaving behind a legacy of artistic brilliance and social advocacy.
