Starring Eartha Kitt

Filmed in 1982 at the legendary singer’s remote home and during multiple live performances, ALL BY MYSELF: THE EARTHA KITT STORY is a deeply moving and personal glimpse into the star’s life and career. Known worldwide for her raspy, sultry voice and theatrical performance style, Eartha is equally magnetic in her everyday life—a strong, independent, uncompromising woman who has lived and loved for herself, her music, and her daughter. Throughout the film Eartha is shown in many forms, as a performer, mother, poet, teacher, and more, revealing that what the public knows of Kitt is just the beginning of her extraordinary story.
