Personally, outside of Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer, I would deem Eartha KItt to be the worst of the various actors who have played Catwoman. Not that she couldn't have been good, but all of the sexual tension between her and Batman disappeared, most likely because of the interracial aspect.

I will happily take Julie Newmar hands down.

At the same time, Colleen Coover. Yay!
