1.) On a special edition of “60 Minutes” Eartha is profiled in an “exceptional” interview! Complete with all the “highs and lows” of her incredible life! In addition to the “upclose full screen moments” where she shares her thoughts, we are treated to some absolutely “fantastic” footage of her performing in London, during her one woman show. She looks fabulous! In addition to those moments on the stage, Eartha is shown backstage getting ready for her show, and also in a later clip she is shown visiting with her daughter, Kitt. As they present her performance, she steps away from the stage, amid a standing ovation, with her arms filled with flowers, breaking down in the wings, your heart really goes out to her. As the interview draws to a close, she is shown jogging in the park, while the song “All by myself” plays in the background. Which is really touching, because her daughter has just gotten married, and Eartha feels as if she is on her own.

2.) In an exceptional interview, on the “Sally Jesse Raphael” show, Eartha gives probably one of her greatest “indepth” interviews ever! As the hour unfolds, the memories that she shares, will truly amaze you! From her earliest memories as a child, walking from house to house, hoping to find a place to rest, and a bit of food. To the rejection that she encountered along the way. You hear the pain in her voice. She is nearly in tears as she relates many of these early moments of her life. In a totally shocking moment, Eartha relates how her mother was murdered. As Eartha tells this story, you’ll be absolutely mesmerized as you listen to her voice. She simply captivates your attention. When she talks about going to stay with her Aunt, her mood lightens considerably. Full of laughs and smiles, she relates her experiences upon reaching the “big city.” Moving ahead, she talks about her romance with Sammy Davis Jr., and the other men in her life. Clearly her name, to some degree, she talks about the time she spoke out against the Vietnam war; and what was needed to help the under-privileged, individuals here in the United States. In talking about her celebrated life, she mentions her connection to James Dean. After the break, she is joined by her daughter, Kitt, who is just as beautiful as her mother! She shares some wonderful stories about her mother, which adds to our understanding of the talented superstar. As the show draws to a close, Eartha performs two selections: “Old Fashioned Girl” and “C’est Si Bon.” Which is nothing short of remarkable! Truly a wonderful interview! One of her finest moments! Not to be missed!

3.) “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” caught up with the talented superstar, at her home in Connecticut, for a wonderful “overview” of her incredible life and career. Truly remarkable! Between relaxing on the couch, doing her needlepoint; or in the kitchen, with her daughter, preparing supper; or walking along the pond next to her house, Eartha looks absolutely radiant! As we are treated to these special glimpses into her life, it’s clear that her beauty comes from within, and shines so brightly through her incredible personality. She is truly a remarkable individual!

4.) Making a special appearance on “Jake’s Place” Eartha plays a reclusive singer, who has taken great care to ensure her privacy. The storyline of this particular episode, is centered around a possible love interest for one of the main characters, that is shattered when the guy snaps a few pictures of Eartha, that he plans to sell to the tabloids. With the press nipping at her heels, she disappears into the night; only to return later in the program. Eartha looks wonderful!

5.) After a delightful rendition of “Here’s to life” Eartha, sits down for a “wonderful” interview with Whoopi Goldberg. Eartha looks absolutely fabulous! Full of energy, she pops up and down from her seat, expressing herself so vividly! Laughing at times, smiling with delight, she is truly marvelous! You’ll be amazed by her stories! Once again, speaking the truth, she talks about the Johnson incident and the troubles facing our society. Returning from the break, Eartha continues her story of how she was “black listed” for many years following that situation. Truly a wonderful interview! One of her best!

6.) With the release of “Batman ~ The Movie” all of the entertainment news programs, rushed to capitalize on the current craze with any sort of related “Batman” storyline. On “The Maury Povich” show they rounded up Julie Newmar and Lee Meriwether, both of which had played the role of “Catwoman” in the television series. Unfortunately, Eartha wasn’t able to be there, but they were able to get her on the phone from Australia, where she was currently on tour. Of the three, of course, there is only one individual that could have ever played the part! From the moment, she came on the “air” the feeling in the room, lightened up tremendously. Naturally, Eartha gave her signature “growl” which delighted everyone! Afterwards, she talked about the role, and how much fun it was working on the series.

7.) On the “weekend” edition of “Larry King Live” Eartha made a special appearance, on behalf of her new release “Back in Business.” Sounding wonderful, as always! She was a delight to watch! She sang several musical numbers, including one of her favorites: “Here’s to Life.” Watching her perform is always a treat! During the interview portion of the evening, Larry touched upon many of the important moments in her life. In this “upclose and personal” setting she shared so many things. Far too many to even mention! Truly a wonderful interview. Not to mention the “exceptional music!”

8.) Appearing on the “Rosie O’Donnell” Show, Eartha starts out by singing a rousing rendition of her international hit song: “C’est Si Bon.” After the break, she returns for a delightful visit, with Rosie. Briefly she touches upon her past, as their conversation slips to the present, in which Eartha talks about accepting the role in the stage production of the “Wizard of Oz.” Delightful interview!
