    A truly authentic and honest person who gave the world a gift to cherish in herself.
    I don't think people like her can ever die. They live on because the moment you find them, in your childhood memories of watching Catwoman on TV that you came to Google for (as in my case), suddenly you realise: it wasn't for nothing you remembered them for so long!

    I thank you so much for bringing this video here for us. Ms. Kitt is pure Light; her brilliance continues to shine and warm us. She will never be forgotten. I am teary-eyed, but smiling at her joie de vivre, the wonderful way she moves so comfortably and sensually in her own skin and the wisdom she shares so freely. She was a true humanitarian. She basked in the love of her fans and returned it in abundance. Thank you!

    What an incredibly intelligent woman, she was like a walking encyclopedia of the times. That, and an amazing advocate to the black woman. She was the voice of so many black Americans at the time who felt oppressed and scared to speak out.

    When I was quite young, mysteriously, I did not appreciate her. Today, I'm 65, ten years her junior at the time of this interview. Thank you, thank you for these videos that allow me to expose some of my ingrained prejudgements; I adore this woman! She is so powerful and feminine and interesting and real. How could anyone not be charmed by Ms Kitt?
