Eartha & Kitt : a daughter's love story in black and white / Kitt Shapiro and Patricia Weiss Levy.
Eartha Kitt, a self-described "poor cotton picker from the South" (even as she collected Tony, Oscar, Grammy and Emmy nominations--her "Santa Baby" still defines pop Christmas music), arrived in New York City in 1935 at age eight, rescued from an abusive South Carolina childhood. A diligent student "up North," she was performing professionally by 1950, establishing her "feline, sultry and exotic" style. She had Kitt in 1961, during a brief marriage to a white man. "I was really the first blood-related 'family' she had ever known," Kitt writes, and they were inseparable, "from the first day of my life to the very last day of hers." iPage
