catwoman

Sean Young jumped into the way-back machine to try and get some work on 'Late Show' (Weeknights, 11:35PM ET on CBS). The actress somewhat famously donned a homemade Catwoman costume in the late '80s in an attempt to get the role in 'Batman Returns.'

The bid didn't work then, but she's hoping it will help her land some acting work this time, and she's not necessarily picky about the project. As a gag, she revealed a video of her working a part-time job, which turned out to be as a sign dancer wearing a Catwoman costume and screaming "I'm not crazy!" at the people driving by.

"The catsuit's unforgiving," Anne Hathaway said on 'Chelsea Lately' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on E!).

She was, of course, talking about her Catwoman costume for 'The Dark Knights Rises.' While fans have only seen it in glimpses, Hathaway has spent far more time with it, and it's not necessarily time always enjoyed.

When asked how she gets into it, Hathaway admitted it takes motivation and literally three people to get her into it.

"That sounds like a nightmare," Chelsea Handler said. She went on to marvel at the discipline that it must take for Hathaway to commit to such a costume for a six month movie shoot. "So are you not doing any drinking or anything like that," she surmised.

Some ladies still have it -- that classic pin-up beauty that's tough to find anymore -- and Julie Newmar is certainly one of those women. She has the look and the attitude to match, even though she hasn't donned the Catwoman costume that goes with her signature role in over 40 years. According to Newmar, her body still slinks, but on the phone her voice does too. Every syllable still drips with the purr of a cat, and she's bringing the whole package to Toronto this weekend for Fan Expo -- a cross-genre fan convention.

But she's not coming alone. The 60s-era caped crusader and boy wonder (Adam West and Burt Ward) are also coming along to foil any evil plot she may be hatching at the autograph booth. Don't get me wrong -- Ms. Newmar isn't solely defined by her 'Batman' TV series character. This cat has nine lives, including one as a writer and yet another as a road trip totem to a posse of drag queens in 'Too Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.'

Still, it's Catwoman that makes the boys and girls take notice, but no matter which camp you're in -- Lee Meriwether or the late Eartha Kitt -- Julie Newmar is truly an original, both in the role and in person. TV Squad caught up with the television temptress as she prepares to come to Toronto for the very first time.

I feel the Eartha, move-a, under my feet-a. I'm talkin' Eartha Kitt, of course. Possibly the best Catwoman ever? Certainly the most sultry, seductive, and intimidating of them all. At age 78, she still seems to do be doing well, and certainly hasn't lost any of her flair for speaking her mind or cursing like a sailor with Tourettes. The Boston Globe has a wonderful interview with the actress, which fans should definitely check out.
