Eulogies and sympathies have poured in since the sad passing of Eartha Kitt - on the 25th December 2008 - reminding us she was indeed a sex kitten whom defied age, and convention.
For those of you unfamiliar with Ms Kitt, her purrrrr, or her penchant for fur, see her in ‘Unzipped’, the “behind the scenes” documentary released in 1995. It details flamboyant fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi’s attempts to resurrect his reputation following a poorly received collection, and features all manner of minor and major celebrities. However, it is Eartha that steels the show – she is nothing if not fabulous.
