Hey folks, Harry here... Back on January 19th, we told you she was up for the role, well now it is done. Halle Berry will be playing CATWOMAN in the genius French director, PITOF's version of the feline troublemaker.

Now, while many are probably upset about Halle Berry taking over for Michelle Pfeiffer, I actually think it isn't such a bad idea. CATWOMAN has always been a rather difficult character to pin down. I always felt with Ashley Judd, going with another blonde for the part would be demanding direct comparisons to Michelle's performance. Here though, casting Halle Berry... Instantly I'm not thinking about Pfeiffer anymore, but rather...

On December 14th, 1967 Eartha Kitt tore onto screens as Catwoman, the second Catwoman to be precise, in CATWOMAN'S DRESSED TO KILL. At that point she had already been in film for around 19 years. Her voice and sexy demeanor were her keys into the industry. Can anyone really forget that amazing performance of her's in ST LOUIS BLUES... along with Cab Calloway and Nat King Cole? Well, certainly not if you've seen and heard it. However, for all of that, in the eyes of many she was CATWOMAN till Michelle Pfeiffer took it away... Though in my heart, no matter what, Julie Newmar will always be CATWOMAN!
