Kitt Shapiro is the only child of legendary entertainer Eartha Kitt. She managed her mother's performances and recording career for many years, and now manages her estate. She is the founder and owner of Simply Eartha, a line of jewelry, clothing, and home furnishings that honor the beauty and wisdom of her late mother. She is also an inspirational speaker who does frequent speaking engagements for the Colorectal Cancer Alliance and other organizations. She lives in Connecticut with her husband and dogs. Her recent book, “Eartha & Kitt: A Daughter's Love Story in Black & White” is a luminous and inspiring portrait of a black pioneer and artistic force—Eartha Kitt—and one of the most moving mother/daughter stories in Hollywood history. In this unique combination of memoir and cultural history, we come to know one of the greatest stars the world has ever seen—Eartha Kitt—as revealed by the person who knew her best: her daughter. Eartha, who was a mix of Black, Cherokee, and white, is viewed by the world as Black. Kitt, her biological daughter, is blonde and light skinned. This is the story of a young girl being raised by her mother, who happened to be one of the most famous celebrities in the world. For three decades, they traveled the world together as mother and daughter. Even after Kitt got married and started a family of her own, she and Eartha were never far from each other's sides Eartha had a very difficult childhood growing up in extreme poverty in South Carolina. She described herself as being “just a poor cotton picker from the South.” She did not have her own familial ties to lean on after being abandoned by her own mother as a toddler and having never known who her father was. She and Kitt were each other's whole world. Eartha's legacy is still felt today. Not only do we still listen to “Santa Baby” every Christmas, but many of today's most influential artists consistently mention Eartha, paying tribute to her groundbreaking stances on social issues such as racial equality and women's and LGBTQ rights. And she is still widely remembered for her definitive portrayal of Catwoman in the classic Batman television series, voicing the character Yzma in Disney's “The Emperor's New Groove,” and her many other movie and Broadway roles. In these pages, Kitt brings her mother to life so vividly, you will feel as if you'd met her. You'll embrace her love of nature, exercise, simple food, and independence, along with her lessons on the importance of treating people kindly and always being true to yourself. Filled with love, life lessons, and poignant laughter, Eartha & Kitt captures the passion and energy of two remarkable women.

Eartha Kitt was once called the “most exciting woman in the world,” by Orson Wells. She began her career in the 1940's and was working until the end in 2008. She gave us songs, and TV classics, Broadway, concerts, movies, and social justice. In one instance, Eartha Kitt almost lost her career in entertainment because of a frustrated response over the Vietnam War to Lady Birth Johnson in a Women Doers' Luncheon in the White House addressing juvenile crime prevention. "Mrs. Johnson, you are a mother too, although you have had daughters and not sons," said Kitt. "I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my guts. I have a baby and then you send him off to war. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot. And, Mrs. Johnson, in case you don't understand the lingo that's marijuana." That baby, Kitt Shapiro, would later manage her mother's career, found Simply Eartha, featuring products inspired by Eartha Kitt, and write a book about their lives and intertwined legacy, entitled Eartha & Kitt: A Daughter's Love Story in Black and White. Guest: Kitt Shapiro Author of Eartha & Kitt: A Daughter's Love Story in Black and White Author and Manager of Eartha Kitt Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues. Audio from today's show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.

One of the most influential women in my career and life is Eartha Kitt, who I was lucky enough to develop a brief pen pal relationship with in the early 90s, before she became a household name again with her vocal appearance on Disney's Emperor's new groove.
