A Legend in Her Own Time

Chicago, 1996

JET: "No one does it like Eartha Kitt...winning rave reviews for her portrayal of the late jazz legend Billie Holiday in the musical, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill." 

Chicago Sun-Times: "The result is a fascinating hybrid--part Kitt, part Holiday and wholly mesmerizing."

Chicago Tribune: "Kitt finds the tenderness, hope and dignity that were Holiday's..."

It was one of those experiences that you never forget. She will be missed.
