Eartha Kitt- I want to be Evil….dead at 81

Dear Shaded Viewers,

The woman famous, among many other things, for Santa Baby died on Christmas. Born out of wedlock 17 January 1927 as a result of a rape by a white plantation owner and a sharecropper mother of African-American and Cherokee Native American descent. Her mother gave her away, Eartha sang and danced herself out of poverty.

Eartha Kitt died at the age of 81.
