We now know the actress playing Eartha Kitt in Anton Corbijn’s Life, it’s Kelly McCreary (IMDB)
Dennis Stock images of Eartha Kitt with James Dean behind:
“USA. New York City. 1955. James DEAN attending Katherine DUNHAM dance classes, which included the singer Eartha KITT” Source: Magnum Photos. There’s quite a few images taken of Kitt and Dean appearing on that link.
Earth Kitt on hanging with James Dean at Hollywood and Vine in LA:
Recently I posted on Dennis Stock speaking about his first meeting of James Dean in the James Dean: Sense Memories documentary (post HERE.) Eartha Kitt also appears in that film. She tells of how she would join Jimmy on his motorcycle and go down to Hollywood and Vine.“We’d sit on benches and watch the night people, and Jimmy would say we’d get our characters here.” ~Eartha Kitt
Here’s a photo of that location during those times, Source: LosAngelesPast.com
