He was supposedly the son of the man who owned the farm where Eartha was born, but she never met him although adopted his supposed surname of Kitt. Eartha was raised by Anna Mae Riley, who she believed that was her mother.

1 | If someone would even suggest such a vulgar thing as a goodbye-themed event for me, I would pretend I didn't hear it. Goodbye to what? My whole life? |
2 | [on Orson Welles] Orson spent most of his money on women. That's why he didn't have the money to make films. |
3 | A man has always wanted to lay me down but he never wanted to pick me up. |
4 | [in an Essence magazine interview regarding her anti-war statements to Lady Bird Johnson and her subsequent loss of work because of them] The thing that hurts, that became anger, was when I realized that if you tell the truth -- in a country that says you're entitled to tell the truth -- you get your face slapped and you get put out of work. |
5 | I'm an orphan. But the public has adopted me and that has been my only family. The biggest family in the world is my fans. |
6 | I don't carry myself as a black person but as a woman that belongs to everybody. After all, it's the general public that made me - not any one particular group. So I don't think of myself as belonging to any particular group and never have. |
7 | [on her friendship with James Dean] Jamie and I were like brother and sister. He told me, in fact, he thought of me as a sister. Our relationship was strictly platonic and spiritual. |
8 | [at the White House in 1968] I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my gut. I have a baby and then you send him off to war. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot. |
9 | I have a great need for affection from an audience. I don't know whether this is because I had such a tough life when I was a child. |
10 | I am the original Material Girl. |
