How sad that she died on Christmas!! She was an amazing singer and actress. She will be missed, but Yzma will forever live on in our home!

Colon cancer, how sad. She lived a long life and she will be missed! Now I wish I had The Emperor's New Groove so I can watch it in her memory.

She will be greatly missed. She was such a good performer. I wonder who will do Yzma's voice in The Emperor's New School now. No matter what, they won't be as good as Kitt.

Got to see her live as the Wicked Witch in Wizard of Oz stage play. Side note: Mickey Rooney played the wizard). What a fun play that was.

How ironic that she died on Christmas Day now that she is so well known for having sung "Santa Baby"... way back in the 50s!

I have a picture around here somewhere of her from just over a year ago. Astoundingly good looking for a woman her age (she was 80 when this picture was taken).

I don't think anyone brought this up, but Eartha Kitt played Lady Hackmore in Ernest Scared Stupid. Rest in peace Eartha and say hello to Jim Varney please!
