Bye Bye Baby


Eartha Kitt the songstress who penned the ubiquitous festive ballad "Santa Baby" ironically passed away on Christmas Day. You might remember her gruff sexy voice from a number of movies, personally - her most memorable performance was as the feisty Lady Eloise in Boomerang with Eddie Murphy [1992]. Renowned for her blunt "Tell it like it is" personality, a first generation femme fatale of mixed ethnic background. A mutli-talent who broke through the race and gender barriers of America's deep south to stupendous, super-stardom both on stage and on screen. Her carrier spanned over 5ive decades and will live on for a lot more. Nobody ever really dies yo!
