What made Eartha Kitt such a great Catwoman and totally suitable (pun intended?) to follow Julie Newmar's lead?
Well let's look beyond the amazing figure and the legendary fit into that fucking bombass costume (the greatest Catwoman costume of all time, BTW)...
She had an amazing voice, unlike anyone else, and she delivered her lines with subtle little growls and other quirks. It was truly brilliant.
Legendary performer like no other...
If there had never been a Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt would be the greatest Catwoman of all time.
I also think it could be a generational thing... you prefer whoever you saw in whatever role first.
For me, the first Catwoman who ever caught my interest was Julie Newmar in Batman reruns on TVLand.
For a lot of people, it was probably Michelle in the '90s. Can't relate.
