Eartha Kitt was once referred to as “the most exciting woman in the world” by iconic director Orson Welles. From her vast singing and acting career, to being outspoken in the world of politics and publicly ostracized for the anti-war remarks that derailed her career, Kitt’s life was definitely one of intrigue. Now she’s being immortalized via a comic book.
