Julie Newmar versus Eartha Kitt The role of Catwoman, though not Emmy material, was one that both actresses were anxious to play. Julie and Eartha crossed paths several times during the readings and testing for the role. It was obvious to both ladies that Bill Dozier, the producer, was having a difficult time making his decision. One evening Julie called Eartha to try and convince her to give the role up. "It's obvious," Julie purred, "that I am better suited for the role. I am a much better match for Adam then you are." Eartha seethed. "Look you beanpole. They want an actress not some piece of fluff." "I have a suggestion if you are up for it?" said Julie. "What's that?" cooed Eartha. "Well since we are both after the role of Catwoman why not catfight for it?" There was a momentary silence on the other end then "I'll kick your skinny ass Julie. You don't want to fight me for anything." Julie laughed. "You won't be the first bitch I had to beat to get a role. Be at my house at eight if you have the guts little woman." Eartha said "Oh I'll be there." And slammed the phone down. At eight sharp Eartha knocked on the door of Julie's Malibu home. Julie answered wearing a terry cloth robe tied at the waist and barefoot. Staring down at the smaller woman Julie stepped aside and allowed her to enter. Eartha was wearing a black trenchcoat tied at her waist. "So glad you could make it." Julie whispered. Eartha hissed back "Wouldn't dream of missing the chance to kick your ass." Both women placed their hands on their hips and stared at each other. At a long minute Julie started to walk to the back of the house. Eartha followed wordlessly. Entering a door off the side of the hallway Julie slowly removed her robe to reveal a blue bikini. Eartha untied her coat and let it fall off her hard body to reveal a black bikini. Both women had solid dancer's legs and their midsections were flat and hard. The room was large, 25 feet by 25 feet, with a plush carpet. Julie used this room for her exercise period as well as her occasional fights. Eartha looked at the taller woman, Julie was almost six- foot, and Eartha was 5'5. Neither woman spoke since meeting at the door. "Only rule is no punching to the face, we don't need to have bruises." Julie said. "Purrrrfect." Said Eartha. Both ladies looked their rivals over wanting to take advantage of any weakness. Julie made the first move lashing out her long left leg and doubling Eartha over. A second kick to Eartha's chest sent the black woman sprawling to the carpet. Eartha gasped for breath as the tall Swede grabbed a handful of hair and lifted her to her feet. "You should have left well enough alone Eartha." Said Julie as she slammed a fist into the solid midsection. "UGH!" groaned Eartha as she fell to one knee. Julie stepped back to admire her handiwork. "Come on tough girl get up." Julie taunted. Eartha held her stomach as she slowly rose to her feet. Julie was still standing with a smug look on her face as Eartha charged and tackled the taller woman to the carpet. Both women rolled on the mat kicking and scratching at each other's legs and stomachs. Eartha gained the top spot and started slamming Julie's head into the carpet. Julie reached up and grabbed Eartha's tits and squeezed forcing the black woman to stop her assault to protect her sensitive breasts. "AIEEEE," screamed Eartha as Julie squeezed harder. Eartha rolled off to the side of the taller woman and started slapping at her hands to get free. Julie released her left hand and slapped the singer across the face. Eartha felt her head spin to the right from the stinging slap. Julie stood up and stomped Eartha hard in the chest making the black woman groan and roll away. Eartha was in agony. Julie watched Eartha writhe on the carpet. Wiping the hair off her sweaty forehead Julie reached down lifted Eartha to her feet and ran her headfirst into the wall. Eartha let out a moan as she slumped down the wall dazed and totally defenseless. "Had enough bitch?" Julie asked. Eartha moaned. Julie kicked her hard in the ribs. Eartha gasped as the air rushed from her body. Eartha feel on her side almost in tears. Julie kicked her again. Eartha put her hand up. "Enough, you have the role." Julie gave her one more kick. "Damn right. I do." She buzzed for her butler. "Make sure she gets out of here." She then went to her room to relax and enjoy her victory.
