Zumi reminded me of how kickass this lady was.

Must have been cold in that room.

I saw her in Boston in about 2001-ish. She was in a production of Cinderella at the Wang Theater. The best 'Fairy Godmother' character, ever.

She must have been in the same role in Minneapolis. I remember seeing her around that time, I just wasn't sure it was Cinderella.

She was an amazing, badass lady. Definite original. Most people don't really know how much range she had in entertainment and how she called her own shots. And doing it way back when, too.

Would've loved to see her live during her heyday. Hard to find that caliber these days.

She was hot! A fine Catwoman and her Santa Baby song voice makes me want to purrrrr every time I hear it!

She had a troubled childhood.

I wouldn't have made the comparison to begin with. Rihanna has a good hustle game going on, but she ain't got the arms to reach Ms. Kitt's level yet.
