      They can find the actress ..... but the essence that she fires, spit if necessary with such finesse don’t thinks so ... we are unique , but rejection and abuse turn her into a Phoenix and that’s a big task for an actress to transmit.

      Why was that? I don't get what she means here. Why was she lying down with so many men then? if it happens once why did it happen again and again? Most learn from that dont they? I'm just saying. And not all men are like this either..plus she used her feminity as a sexual tool to get things she wanted. It goes but ways

      Yeah, but she never mentioned how eager she was to lay down. Women never want to take responsibility for their part, she couldn't have gotten hurt if she wasn't willing to participate. So she's not a victim, she's a volunteer.

We have taught women to hide their true selves and feelings for our comfort and if they finally show their true colors we are shocked and view them as strangers instead of thinking what was our contribution on that. This woman is a gem! May God give her peace.

My soul prayed for her. My mind and own past experience, understands her. When she said men laid her down but never picked her up, I had to pause and take that in. Powerful. And when she talked about the mothers didn't want her to be with their sons, my heart went out to her again. This woman been through some things. So beautiful and so fragile. I think the greatest tragedy is to live and not know how worthy you are.

    What a survivor, Miss Eartha Kitt. Hellfire pours down upon every individual who dared to mistreat this fiercely beautiful and phenomenally gifted artist. For only pure evil could hate the great physical, spiritual, intellectual, and inner beauty of this phenomenal woman. Thank God you are no longer here to suffer the cruelty of this earth, Miss Kitt. Say hi to God for me please.

      @@Itsmoochie4reels2 Who is not a troubled soul upon this cruel earth? Huh? The world was excruciatingly cruel to Eartha Kitt. You would not want to trade places with her abusive childhood. It is understandable that she felt at times that she would fare better with the devil. But she came to her God-senses and rose above all the cruelty and degradation to become a fiercely talented artist and phenomenally beautiful human being. As I said, that great lady is a survivor and continue to give God a delicious lap dance while singing "Santa Baby" with her elegantly angelic voice. She even makes God blush! RIP Eartha Kitt. Say hi to God for me with a juicy kiss upon God's cheek!

    My mother loved Eartha Kitt. She experienced some of the same abuses but not to the same degree. Eartha was a national treasure. It's so hard to understand why people want to be so mean to others that are more vulnerable.

Eartha was so strong and such an inspirational survivor...I always admired her talent and charisma, but seeing this poignant and gut-wrenching confessional just made me love her even more...What a great woman and cultural role model we lost...Her grand legacy as a social and artistic provocateur will continue to enthrall us and remind us what true integrity is. We need more like her today :)
