The 9 Lives of Catwoman - Who's Your Favorite Catwoman? Vintage Pics and a poll.

http://www.nypl.org/blog/2012/06/28/nine-lives-catwoman

Judging from the teasers, Batman: The Dark Knight Rises promises to be another must-see summer movie, not least for the anticipation of Anne Hathaway's being cast as Catwoman. Anne has some impressive spandex to fill, however, against such feline luminaries as Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, and and Michelle Pfeiffer, each with her own brand of Gotham catitude. Check out our treasury of vintage images of Catwomen from NYPL's Billy Rose Theatre Division and then take a sec and scratch your vote for the most purrfect Catwoman.

I believe that Adam West already answered this question for us when he said, " The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt."

What kind of a man is Captain Renault?
Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so.

Michelle Pfeiffer, but I havn't seen the new TDKR, and maybe she's better? I don't know yet.

I would actually agree with him had he stopped after Ms. Newmar. But I will always have a place in my heart for Lee Meriwether; in her Space Ghost Coast to Coast appearance, she answered this question, "I believe Julie Newmar is the favorite, Eartha Kitt is second, and I . . . am third." Modest, gracious, graceful, and, yes, Ms. Meriwether, true.

And Eartha Kitt is just plain talented. My cat, Charlie, just purred when she hit those sibilants! And he would wake up to watch the screen whenever Julie Newmar played Catwoman! I suppose he would know. . . .

Hathaway I think played the better catwoman! She had the attitude and filled the outfit perfectly!
