    “I wasn’t blacklisted, I was whitelisted.”<br><br>Truly powerful words.

    That conversation between her and the former president WAS SO FRUSTRATING. &nbsp;Eartha looked pissed, but she handled that so much better than I would have.

    &quot;So she was stalked by the CIA after challenging Johnson during the Vietnam War...&quot; <b>I swear you could hear a record scratch at that moment</b> They did WHAT NOW?!?

    Love Eartha Kitt so much. Publicly she was the embodiment of &quot;Do not harm, take no sh!t&quot; and gave <b>4 generations</b> some of the most iconic performances they&apos;d ever see. Thanks for this!

    Holy fuck she’s actually the most badass person alive. Dealing with so much hardship , and coming out not only on top, but using her position in the industry to do good! We can only strive to be just like her.

    &quot;You adopted me when nobody else did.&quot; out of the blue after hearing her story made me absolutely BURST into tears with a bite of dinner in my mouth, oh my god. The humility and strength in the face of so much cruelty and pain, what an incredible person.

    In 1999 I was living on Fountain Avenue in Hollywood and was out for a walk. As I passed a small lounge on Cahuenga Blvd just south of Hollywood I heard what could only be Eartha Kitt&apos;s voice. I stood there transfixed and when that song was over and she started chatting, curiosity got the best of me; I cracked the door open and there she was, entertaining less than a hundred people in a very small venue. It was so small that she saw the door open; she interrupted her monologue with &quot;Come on in darling, I won&apos;t bite unless you want me to. &lt;laugh&gt; There&apos;s a seat right here.&quot; I was floored and had a front-row seat and was entertained like never before. Only in Hollywood.

    To Kaz’s point about her becoming fiercely independent from any particular man, my favorite quote of hers is: “a man has always wanted to lay me down, but he never wanted to pick me up”. What a power in recognizing herself as being valuable outside of the presence of a man especially through the middle and end of the 20th century, when no one else empowered her but her

    Eartha and her daughter talking about how her traumatic experiences made her who she was and how she shouldn&apos;t have to let go or forget really spoke to me. Especially the part where these experiences can act as a sort of fuel for her activism and proof of her strength. I don&apos;t want to wallow in my past, but I don&apos;t want to forget it either. I want to bring it with me and bring it to light so that other people can know what it&apos;s like to suffer in ways they haven&apos;t or to feel less alone knowing there&apos;s someone out there who has suffered just as they have.
