Three very talented and beautiful women who brought their version of Catwoman to life on our TV and movie screens, thank you to all three. RIP to all the wonderful Batman actors who have unfortunately have left us with many wonderful memories.
They were all great for different reasons! Julie Newmar is such an icon, and my personal favorite, but I'm actually glad we had all three versions of the character!
Remember this, in 1966. there were 3 kinds of catwomen but each one in a different. julie was glamorous,and still is, lee was lovely, eartha was fierce but the batman, adam was a humble hero. RIP Adam & Eartha
Bullshit. Paternity tests are everything and it was something new. This show was before Ricki Lake and every new talk show host before Ricki was trying to be Donahue or Oprah.
@Juli Jerome hard to compare with Julie and Lee...Erthab had that Putter... Butt that's it IMHO. Julie has (still sides more less ( the figure for the suit. Do dead gorgeous and 5'11. Something you want in a Superhero villian. To be larger than. And she was larger than life. She never worked out. Though she was a dancer. Le was there 2nd and I think the 2nd best... Making up for not having the same figure but a better Purrrrr...I forgot she even played the role till I see a RU-vid video with the 3. Catwoman from film? Nine of them mailed it. They were just actresses who got the job... Like Canil and Man of Steel.
When I was a kid I knew there was something special about Julie Newmar but I was too young to know what it was. She is a beautiful lady and my favorite Catwoman.
I recently purchased the complete Batman television series and movie from the 60's and I am absolutely impressed with the tongue in cheek dialogue. It's over the kids heads but gives the adults a knowing chuckle. Julie Newmar blazed the trail for others to follow and follow they do. I highly recommend it for a rewatch during this pandemic.
Julie Newmar's catwomen costume is now on display at the museum of American history in Washington D.C.. I saw it when I visited the museum and it's very tall and slim.
Nick JTV You HAVE to be kidding me. On my 9th grade DC trip , my group could only go to two meusems, and I wanted so bad to go to that one and see the pop culture exibit, but they wanted to look at trains. I am SOOOO pissed I didn't get to see it. Oh my God.
The Ruby Slippers are also there as well as one of Mr Rodgers sweaters (though I didn't see that). As a train enthusiast I wont say your group made the wrong choice but you did miss out on some cool stuff.
@@oceaneyevlogs5527 Same museum, American History. Also has Archie Bunkers chair, Little Richards' silk panties, and Don Garlits' Top fuel dragster. Constitution ave., next to natural history.
Julie Newmar to me is one of the most beautiful women in the world. There is no other cat woman as far as I'm concerned. That being said she is also one of the most beautiful souls I've ever seen. Her light and life radiates through her. When I discovered that we had something in common, our sons with Down's syndrome and etc., I felt a connection. Bless you Julie you are an inspiration, thank you.
Julie Never quit she just took other work movies and shows and just wasn't available which is why they brought Lee in to do the movie and Eartha in the last year.
Julie Newmar is beautiful as ever in this Maury episode. I loved watching her in " My Living Doll". Watched every episode on Hulu. Looking at the big hair in the audience brings back memories of growing up and the old Ft Lauderdale spring break days!
Yes! I remember 'My Living Doll" too! I loved it. According to what I read Bob Cummings walked out of "Living Doll" after the 22nd episode primarily because of clashes between him and Julie Newmar.
Loved that show and all the amazing actors.... Julie is the essence of a woman, Lee a total 'Movie Star', Eartha thee best Cat Woman (purr n all) and Adam West.... my idea of a genuinely handsome man...."POW! ZANG!"
Julie Newmar was EVERYTHING Catwoman was. Gorgeous, naughty, sexy, long sexy legs, memorizing eyes, and a beauty that was so amazing. Her high cheek bones, wicked smile, and sensuous walk could make any man melt. I was a little kid when I saw the reruns in the late 70's. Wow. She hit me like a truck.
Eartha was the best for me. Such an iconic voice, beautiful soul and talented . Fearless and stunning. She Spoke truth where lies slithered around her. Look up the White House event. She always kept her calm classy ways but never back down. Such a great inspiration absolutely marvelous. The two other women were absolutely beautiful and talented as well.
Who is watching in 2020....Julie Newmar is a Goddes....she is so statuesque. Legs that go in forever....I dont know what age she was in 1992...but wow....what a knock out
I was going to comment and say that same thing... but you know it's all manufactured by the media the corporations and the government they all want us to hate each other.. and there's absolutely no reason for any of it
They were all great. I remember watching the original telecasts in the 1960's and later in the very early 1970's I worked in TV and I had the job of sequencing the Batman episodes for the reruns. Of course then the episodes were on film. All the Batman stars were fantastic actors.
Awesome Catwomen, all are my favorite for different reasons 😻 And, love, love, Adam West❤️ He's purr...fect!😻 P.S. Go Robin❤️ Loved the whole show, such great times❤️
Heart warming, seeing Batman and his Catwoman's reunited after many years each tilling there wonderful stories. Julie covering Adam's mouth, off- stage romance ❤ for sure.
+lazeezee I wonder if Julie Newmar or Lee Meriwether look back and think to themselves, "I can't believe I actually did a guest appearance on that degenerate's show."
I liked Eartha the best because she was the actual embodiment of a cat. The others came across as super hot crime women who happened to dress like that.
@@ptanyuh Michelle Pfeiffer's version of catwoman also embodies a cat and Anne Hathaway's version as well. You can't be biased and just say Eartha is the only catwoman who embodies a cat.
An interesting bit of trivia is that the 1966 Batman movie was filmed prior to the first season of the series, but was held back from release until the summer of 1966 after Season 1 ended. So technically, Lee Meriweather was actually the first Catwoman, but audiences were introduced to the Julie Newmar Catwoman first.
This is incorrect. The movie was conceived as being produced and released first to generate interest in the TV series, but the studio didn’t want to pay for the expense of a movie on an untried concept.
It’s good to see the late Adam West along with the two surviving catwomen(Julie Newmarket and Lee Ann Merewether)on at the same time…Holy Nine Lives Batman!!!…Karl Schumaker 🎉
The problem with Eartha Kitt's version was the writers removed the sexual tension between Batman and Catwoman. Her episodes centered on her jealousy of Batgirl. Eartha was fantastic though.
BlackRobin71 that is a really good point BlackRobin (love the band btw) the 2 characters (Batman/Cat Woman) have always had a 'naughty cat & mouse chase" thing happening but not so much with Eartha. it could have been because of the times. it may have been frowned upon for her to toss her feline wow's in his direction ... but she made the most of it in her role.
Right. But she did appear on the show as another character too. Maury kept saying 2 seasons of the show but it had 3. 3rd season Eartha played the role. Also season 3 brought in Batgirl.
I’m actually not surprised that Julie said Debbie Reynolds owns the original cat woman costume because I remember watching a documentary on Carrie Fisher and Carrie mentioned how her mom Debbie Reynolds had tons of Hollywood memorabilia including costumes.
Julie was still lovely here but I think she looked a lot better with dark hair like she had on the series. I am not sure which, if either, was her natural hair color but she should have kept it dark.
Yes, of course she was black; listed, in a manner of speaking, in the video, as far as the effect of the time being unusually colorblind at around 23:00 of the video... oh, hold on, you meant _"blacklisted."_ Yes, and the revenge game they played on her was awful, from 1968-1978. This video gives a summary, and she is especially sweet some three minutes in: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pJf9tbq3M0Q.html .
I thought Adam West handled the question about "off-screen romances with the Catwomen" very professionally--it definitely was "the wrong time to ask," as he said. This was a trip down TV's memory lane indeed!
