Vintage: Catwoman circa 1960

Lee Meriwether


I can't think of a better time to pay tribute to the ladies who first brought the infamous, sexy Catwoman to the televised screen than this week!  First played by Julie Newmar, then Eartha Kitt, and lastly, Lee Meriwether in the first Batman film. These ladies all put some serious curves and va-va-voom into this character. And the 60's costume is hands down my favorite cat costume to ever take shape. I mean just look at the hair, and the bling bling! Anne Hathaway has some big shoes to fill but I still can't wait to see what she does with the legendary Selina Kyle later this week in The Dark Knight Rises.

  1. I am a little concerned that the new catwomans satellite-whatevertheyare ears are going to bug me the whole film. Cuz, like you, I'm a fan of the literal cat-ears from the 60's--but I guess we'll see when the film comes out!
