They can find the actress ..... but the essence that she fires, spit if necessary with such finesse don’t thinks so ... we are unique , but rejection and abuse turn her into a Phoenix and that’s a big task for an actress to transmit.
She made a good point about how she felt, like she was silenced or told to shut up and she couldn't let her feelings until that interview. It made her heal a little bit.
Why was that? I don't get what she means here. Why was she lying down with so many men then? if it happens once why did it happen again and again? Most learn from that dont they? I'm just saying. And not all men are like this either..plus she used her feminity as a sexual tool to get things she wanted. It goes but ways
"Men have always wanted to lay me down , but never wanted to pick me up. ". Wow. Says it all doesn't it. She wears her lesson on her sleeves for all of us to,learn. Brave, brave, beautiful beacon of life. She's brilliant. Posthumously, she still leads us to self,love and forgiveness. RIP. Ms kitt.
What she said at 6:34 "a man has always wanted to lay me down but never wanted to pick me up" Umm! That's a striking statement right there. Many women out here can relate to.
"A man has always wanted to lay me down, but never pick me up..." When she said that...my God...is this not the story of so many women. Her strength and vulnerability ...wow.
A man... a man only wanted to lay me down, but never pick me up. And the men who did have love and compassion for me, never touched me. These words speak to me
When she made that poignant remark about how a man would lay her down yet would never lift her up......A pin dropped. There was a powerful and saddening silence. I felt that 😢 She was so raw and vulnerable in this.
that quote so on target for so many men. Thank God there are some decent men in this world. Men are selfish their own gratification. To find quality friendship with a man is rare but possible.
@@sassyintrovert Eartha from Heaven wanted us to hear these words, so we did. :) (Eartha: Come to the video. You need to hear these words. Us: ...But do we need to hear all those words exactly?)
Yeah, but she never mentioned how eager she was to lay down. Women never want to take responsibility for their part, she couldn't have gotten hurt if she wasn't willing to participate. So she's not a victim, she's a volunteer.
You are so right, but remember, she came from a broken home too. And she was also molested and abused. Coming from a broken home is something else. smh Let me get off this computer and start rebuking spirits.
The fact that she broke the circle, and raised her daughter as a loving mom and raised herself as an epic woman is beautiful and brilliant and remarkable.
Eartha Kitt said: "A man has always wanted to lay me down, but never pick me up". Wow, what a lesson for guys who want to treat women better, decent and good.
I agree! I've been thinking the same thing for years. I think maybe the actress who played Billie Holiday in the Hulu Billie Holiday movie should play her.
"mother's would rather have their sons marry trash then have them marry a woman of color, no matter how wonderful that woman of color may be" --I've experienced this in my real life. It's heartbreaking. Eartha said it well
'A man always wanted to lay me down but never pick me up'. Wow! So sincere and heartbreaking for a woman to say that especially in public. We have taught women to hide their true selves and feelings for our comfort and if they finally show their true colors we are shocked and view them as strangers instead of thinking what was our contribution on that. This woman is a gem! May God give her peace.
"A man has always wanted to lay me down but never to pick me up. And the men that did have real love and affection for me were the ones that never touched me."
I've never, ever, ever, seen a celebrity do a sit down interview like his before and bare their soul. This was deep. Sad. Yet, inspiring at the same time. My heart ached for her. My soul prayed for her. My mind and own past experience, understands her. When she said men laid her down but never picked her up, I had to pause and take that in. Powerful. And when she talked about the mothers didn't want her to be with their sons, my heart went out to her again. This woman been through some things. So beautiful and so fragile. I think the greatest tragedy is to live and not know how worthy you are.
Wow they really don’t do interviews like this anymore - we’ve turned into a society completely obsessed with superficiality & phoniness. Such a stark comparison with what u see these actresses and actors talking about in their interviews nowadays smh what the hell happened God bless this beautiful queen and may she rest in paradise
You have to be emotionally extremely strong and a true seeker of yourself to make yourself vulnerable in public as she has done in this interview. What a wonderful woman.
The Men that laid me down. Never wanted to puck me up. The ones that NEVER touched me had real life for me. The realest thing I heard in my life today January 10, 2020.
A Man...A Man has always wanted to lay me down, but he never wanted to pick me up...and the men that did, have ..real love and affection for me, were the ones...that never touched me..THIS RIGHT HERE !!! 😢 😞TOOK 👏🏽Me👏🏽OUT💯 I FELT THIS🙌🏽.....
I found it really sad. It made me emotional but I completely lost it when she said that men always wanted to lay her down but never pick her up. I'm glad, at least, that she was able to share her talent with the world and embetter her life. We love you, Eartha May! ❤️
Well...*we* are *not considered* to be ACTUAL. HUMAN. BEINGS (esp., feminine entities of the Black/African diaspora). And TPTB wanted ratings. *We* (on a *collective* basis) *love* to see those that are from a *certain* diaspora in *pain.*
Well...*we* (feminine entities of the Black/African diaspora) are not considered actual *human beings.* Plus, TPTB wanted the ratings. And we (collectively, not individually) *love* to see us *in pain* for different reasons.
He was looking for ratings. I noticed he did not ask her about any of her former projects - but - instead focused on topics that seemed to be painful ...
I don’t know how anyone could just watch her talking about her traumatic life without showing ANY emotion. Seeing such a strong woman’s true emotions, feelings of rejection, horrible past, it brought me to tears through a screen. Eartha Kitt, one of the strongest women ever, period.
When she said "A man has always wanted to lay me down but he never wanted to pick me up" I felt that deep down in my Soul Bless you Eartha Kitt you were and are a True Gem 💎
She spoke more than 5-languages! She said she would never feel loved because she was abandoned and expects it!!! She said she'll keep learning and her diploma will be the grave! She's piwerful
OMG....I freaking love her. I have always loved her! I never knew such hardship she endured. She seems so strong, something I have always admired. The fact that she admits her weakness, is even stronger to me. No matter how much you feel rejected we your fans love and adore and accept you...
"A man... A man has always wanted to lay me down but he never wanted to pick me up & the men that did have real love & affection for me were the ones that never touched me" ......... Eartha "Mae kitty" Kitt #VOLUMES!!!
Shocked.... Always thought she was cold, hard and calculated..... So damn sad... Grown ass man shedding a tear right here. Hope Eartha May found peace. Bless her.
Her interviews are so raw and honest. She possessed a type of authenticity that made her grab everyone's attention. So classy too.... Earthlings have a lot of growing to do as a species
This beautiful lady always reminded me of a wild cat...her expressions her sudden change of emotion and body language was always intriguing...a unique lady.
She makes you feel.Really feel.People like her who are real & strong & vulnerable are the rarest of the rare.She shows how being vulnerable is really being the strongest of the strong.Please may she be blessed with every joy & happiness & peace for eternity 🙏 Much love always ❤️
I didn't know anything about Ertha Kitt until tonight. I am so hurt for the little girl who never found love, proud of the woman who found acceptance on stage. This is such a powerful interview!!
+David Haynes I guess would be a good idea to cast new talents as perhaps no many Hollywood stars would be able to pull it like Eartha did. In terms of looks i thought of Halley Berry but would she be a great singer?
My God, I wept at this! Eartha was so strong and such an inspirational survivor...I always admired her talent and charisma, but seeing this poignant and gut-wrenching confessional just made me love her even more...What a great woman and cultural role model we lost...Her grand legacy as a social and artistic provocateur will continue to enthrall us and remind us what true integrity is. We need more like her today :)
Her strength, mental and emotional intelligence, resilience and existential perspective on life is something to behold. She was a true Queen, an icon and a wonderful child of God.
The story of all women. Black, white, rich, poor, believe me. Not here to bash men but they treat women like toys, and once they get bored of it, oh well..there's a famous song about this by Italian singer Patty Pravo - La bambola (the doll). Basically how guys collect dolls, like barbies, one at a time.
Those with the biggest smile have the deepest scars. Wish I knew her and could remind her that she was beautiful for her mind resilience and heart. Sending you eternal love and light xxx
I think some men fear strong independent minded women,because they cannot have their way with them.It's a double edge sword.They may secretly admire that type of woman,but at the same time, may be afraid to make any serious commitment to them.It.s unfair to these women,when you think about it.⛅🌎👍📷😎
Why hasn't anyone made a movie about this women's life yet ?
I don't think it would do her justice.
However, I think Zoe Saldaña could make a good attempt.
@@LegionIvory I think a HBO Miniseries would be a better fit to tell the story of her Long and complex life.

“A man has always wanted to lay me down but he never wanted to pick me up.”

I always wanted to have lunch, coffee, dinner with her and just listen to her.
She made a good point about how she felt, like she was silenced or told to shut up and she couldn't let her feelings until that interview. It made her heal a little bit.
"A man always wanted to lay me down but never wanted to pick me up " Those words Ertha spoke carried soooo much weight.
eternal praise Most Men. They want to lay down. But fail to pick a Woman up.

“a man?... a man has always wanted to lay me down but he never wanted to pick me up.”
