Eartha Kitt, the great American performer, passed away today.
I first learned of Eartha Kitt while watching the 1992 Eddie Murphy film Boomerang, and from that moment on, I could never forget her.
When I heard that she was performing again at Café Carlyle in New York City more recently, it was definitely on my list of things to do. Then I realized the cost of taking in such a performance and was waiting for a special occasion.
Needless to say, I never made it to the Carlyle to catch a performance by Eartha Kitt, but I can only imagine how legendary it must have been.
