I knew her as Cat Woman.
Went to see her, perhaps ten years ago, when she appeared at Blues Alley in Georgetown.  What a hoot.  She was probably 71 or so at the time, and she was hot.  A gay man's dream.  Funny.  Sultry.  She reminded you of what it must have been like, once upon a time, to visit a smokey Parisian cabaret.  So full of life.  Ridiculously alive, really.
