The singer and actress Eartha Kitt was born into a poor family in South Carolina in1927. When Eartha was eight, her stepfather(继父)didn't want Eartha to live with them. She was sent to New York City to live with an aunt. The relationship was difficult. The aunt helped pay for piano and dance lessons for Eartha. But she also treated the girl badly.
Eartha lived on the streets and worked in a factory as a young teenager. But she kept up her dance lessons. One day, she decided to try out for a famous African-American dance company called the Katherine Dunham Company. Soon, Eartha was performing in shows around the world with the company.
In Paris, Eartha left the dance company to sing in a nightclub. Her voice was unusual. People there liked her singing. She learned French quickly and had many French fans.
The film director Orson Welles discovered Eartha singing in Paris. He called her "the most exciting woman in the world". Welles asked her to play a lead part in a play that he was directing(执导)and also playing a part in. Later, Eartha returned to NewYork and appeared in the Broadway show New Faces of 1952. A humorous song she sang about a bored, spoiled woman became famous. Eartha appeared in the 1957 movie The Mark of the Hawk. She was very careful about choosing her roles in films. Her other films in the 1950s included St. Louis Blues and Anna Lucasta. Throughout the rest of the 1950s and early 1960s, Kitt recorded, worked in films, television, and nightclubs, and returned to the Broadway stage. In 1964, Kitt helped open the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, California. In the late 1960s, she played "Catwoman" in the television series Batman. This role made her really famous.
