The glamorous Eartha Kitt took her first breaths on a North Carolina cotton plantation on January 17, 1927. Her mother was a Black-Cherokee worker, while her father...well, to this day, we don't know who he was. Some believe that Kitt's mother had an affair with a local white doctor. But Kitt herself thought her roots were far more chilling. Flickr...
Kitt always believed that her father sexually assaulted her mother. And even though she never learned her father's identity, she felt certain that he was part of the plantation owner's family. As though all that isn't horrific enough, there's another awful layer to Kitt's birth: When Kitt was born, her mother was still a child herself at only 16 ye...
Kitt’s ostensibly mixed-race origins put her at odds with her family. When her mother moved in with another Black man, he demanded that little Eartha stay away, saying that he didn't want a "yella" child. Kitt's mother actually agreed with her new beau and shuttled her own daughter away to her sister Rosa. Tragically, Eartha soon realized that livi...
During her time at Aunt Rosa's farm, Eartha felt like a “working mule.” She said her aunt used her as laborer, forcing her to wear scratchy, dirty potato sacks and making her pick cotton all day. Then, in another heinous twist, Eartha learned that her cousins were no kinder than her aunt. The boy and girl would tie Eartha to a tree and whip her. Th...

She was just eight years old at the time. Looking back, Kitt says this experience traumatized her, especially considering how her mother's demise was far from peaceful. The suddenness o...
At this point, young Eartha was effectively an orphan—and she refused to return to Aunt Rosa's farm. Kitt was alone again, until her Aunt Marnie stepped up and took the young girl in. Earth moved to Harlem, New York City, and started pursuing the arts. From the outside, it looked like Kitt's life was finally improving. But appearances can be deceiv...
Just like Eartha's other so-called guardians, it turned out that Aunt Marnie had a mean streak. She abused Eartha so much that she ran away from this home, too. Kitt's situation was so terrible that she chose homelessness over living with her aunt. She would ride on subways for as long as possible and, once the trains stopped running, she would sle...
Eartha Kitt had a horrendous childhood.She went from one miserable home to another, and the best of them still saw her struggle. To make ends meet with her aunt in their cramped Harlem apartment, Kitt spent her teenage years working in a sewing factory. Looking back on her upbringing, though, Kitt focused on how it taught her to survive. She once s...
Kitt’s career started by pure chance. One day, the young Eartha Kitt helped a woman asking for directions. As it turns out, this woman was a dancer with the Katherine Dunham collective and advised Kitt to attend an audition. Kitt followed her advice and not only won the audition—she won a full scholarship to the dance school. By her teen years, Kit...
In the 1940s, Kitt began her entertainment career as a member of the Katherine Durham Company, the first African-American modern dance company in history.
