NEW YORK - Eartha Kitt, a sultry singer, dancer and actress who rose from South Carolina cotton fields to become an international symbol of elegance and sensuality, has died, a family spokesman said. She was 81.
Andrew Freedman said Kitt, who was recently treated at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, died Thursday in Connecticut of colon cancer.
Kitt, a self-proclaimed "sex kitten" famous for her catlike purr, was one of America's most versatile performers, winning two Emmys and nabbing a third nomination. She also was nominated for several Tonys and two Grammys.

Have you become the board's newly appointed Morgue Reporter? 
Kitt didn't look too sultry as an old woman gyrating on stage; she looked rather foolish if not raunchy instead.
She managed to offend both the Left (visiting South Africa) and the Right (her anti-Vietnam stance) so I guess she can claim individualism which, she always proudly claimed. It's easy to be an individualistic artist who can overlook the consequences of their public positions.
I long for the day that artists of all stripes recognize that their opinions count for no more than the common man's. Doubt that will happen any time soon, however.
