Talk:Catwoman (Eartha Kitt)

The secret identity name of the version of Catwoman played by Eartha Kitt was never used in the series so actually she could be either Selina Kyle or Patience Phillips.

At the time the series aired it was often assumed that the two Catwoman versions were different people since the two actresses played them so differently, looked nothing at all like each other, and their focus in crimes was different. The one played by Julie Newmar seemed to go for precious metals, jewlery, and cat-themed historical artifacts while the one played by Eartha Kitt went more for clothing and fashion themed capers that sometimes did not even involve cats in some way (like the golden fleece).

Also both their body language in general and their interactions with Batman were different; there was an attraction between Batman and the Newmar version but nothing except neutral banter between Batman and Eartha Kitt's Catwoman.

The studio never clairified the situation and DC never took an official position on it either as far as I have been able to find. BC01 (talk) 09:50, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
