“I’ve got cat class and I’ve got cat style…”
everyday glory March 17th, 2004Campbell’s Condensed Newspaper has an interview with Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriweather and Julie Newmar, the women who played Catwoman on the 1960s Batman series.
You could call it a once-in-nine-lifetimes gathering. Three Catwomen who purr-fectly embodied Batman’s feline archnemesis Julie Newmar, 68, and Eartha Kitt, 77, in the 1966-68 TV series, and Lee Meriwether, 68, in the 1966 movie — gathered for the first time earlier this month at the TV Land Awards (tonight, 9 ET/PT). The trio talked to USA TODAY’s Bill Keveney about the appeal of a character who returns to the screen in July, when Halle Berry stars in Catwoman:
The questions were fairly run-of-the-mill. It seemed like Ms. Newmar was having a lot of fun with the interview. Especially with her answer to the next-to-last question:
Q: What are you doing now?
Kitt: I finished Nine on Broadway. I’m putting my own show together to tour. It’s called Dare Me.
Meriwether: Nunsense. It’s the 20th anniversary all-star tour.
Newmar: I’m just rich. I own businesses and I love it.
Have a good day, all.
