Eartha Mae Kitt was born into a poor, rural family in South Carolina in 1927. When Eartha was eight, she was sent to New York City to live with an aunt in the African-American neighborhood of Harlem. The relationship was difficult. The aunt helped pay for piano and dance lessons for Eartha. But she also beat the girl.
One day she decided to try out for a famous African-American dance company. Soon, Eartha was performing in shows around the world with the Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe (剧团).
In Paris, Eartha left the dance company to sing in a nightclub. Her voice was unusual—but very appealing. She learned French quickly and gained French fans. The film director Orson Welles discovered Eartha Kitt singing in Paris. Welles asked her to play a lead role in a play he was directing and starring in.

In 1968, Eartha Kitt was invited to the White House. President Lyndon Johnson was in office and the Vietnam War was an issue of national dispute (争论). Because of her comments on the Vietnam War, she was "blacklisted."

In 1994, Eartha Kitt released the album "Back In Business". It was nominated for a Grammy. She received another Tony nomination, three Emmys and other honors in the years that followed.
