Dark Knight Rises

Hi TenTigers,

That is definitely Lee Meriwether.

Newmar's relpacement was so seamless, hardly anybody noticed. Lee made Newmar look like an anorexic version of herself. The was similarly done with the actors who played Darren in the show "Bewitched". It was hard to tell the difference between the two.

Gene and TenTigers,

I stand corrected (kneels, raises arms up, and bows down).

I got to met Julie Newmar a few years back. A very dignified lady who considers her role as catwoman an acting honor. She also did a hilarious imitation of Michelle Pfieffer's catwoman.

But we would be remiss to not mention Eartha Kitt

who played the role after Julie Newmar. She was replace with Lee Meriwether for the BATMAN movie when she spoke out against the Vietnam war AT A WHITE HOUSE LUNCHEON.

"You send the best of this country off to be shot and maimed. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot. The children of America are not rebelling for no reason. They are not hippies for no reason at all. We don’t have what we have on Sunset Blvd. for no reason. They are rebelling against something. There are so many things burning the people of this country, particularly mothers. They feel they are going to raise sons—and I know what it’s like, and you have children of your own, Mrs. Johnson—we raise children and send them to war.”

As for Selina Kyle's Origin, some interesting tid-bits:
As an orphan girl she survived an attempt on her life that involved her being trapped in a bag and thrown into a river.
Returning to the orphanage she steals all records of her existence but leaves behind enough evidence to have the orphanage shut down and its managers arrested.

From there she spends time on the streets until BATMAN: Year One. Her catwoman antics allow her to buy her way into high society as Selina Kyle.

"She's going to be marvelous," Newmar said, even as I questioned Hathaway's sex appeal. Now Newmar, she understood sex appeal. She made her own Catwoman costume, and was especially keen to have the belt at her hips, instead of her waist, to highlight her hourglass figure, she said. (The costume is now in the Smithsonian Institute).

Follow DS's link.

Julie = Catwoman.

Looks like she has a new book coming out. Check out her official site.

And we thought Gotham City was tough, who knew the Dark Knight would face defeat in the City of Sin; Las Vegas.
