What Ever Happened to the Children of These Old Hollywood Stars?

For Kitt Shapiro, life with Eartha Kitt meant growing up alongside one of the most distinctive and magnetic performers of the twentieth century. Born in 1961, she experienced a childhood shaped by her mother’s international fame, striking personality, and nonstop performing career while also sharing an especially close bond with the legendary singer and actress.

Instead of pursuing major screen fame herself, Kitt became an author, businesswoman, and steward of her mother’s legacy. She later wrote Eartha & Kitt, a memoir reflecting on their relationship and Eartha Kitt’s extraordinary life, while continuing to participate in projects celebrating her mother’s lasting cultural impact.
