11:29Now PlayingLegend of stage and screen, Eartha Kitt, opens up to Ronnie Williams in an emotional interview that doesn't shy away from difficult subjects. Kitt describes her difficult childhood, being abandoned by her mother and brought up in extreme poverty, and the profound effect it has had on her life, career and her relationship with her own daughter.
The interview concludes with Eartha Kitt performing a stunning rendition of a Welsh song - Mae 'nghariad i'n Fenws (My Sweetheart's Like Venus) - that she has been practising all week.
This clip is from Late Call, originally broadcast 10 March, 1971.
