Janet Jackson Hopes to Play Eartha Kitt



Janet Jackson would like to play Eartha Kitt in a movie which would portray the singer’s life. Janet claims that Earth Kitt herself picked her for the role when she was still alive.

Janet on Earth Kitt: “I adore her [Kitt] and I had the opportunity to spend time with her. She had expressed wanting me to portray her and was excited about the idea of me portraying her in a film. If that's really going to happen, I'm not quite sure, but I hope it does.” She added: “What an icon. She had gone through so much – not just her adulthood, but her childhood.”

Ertha Kitt, the self-professed “sex kitten” was famous for playing Catwoman in the Batman TV series in the 1960s.
