American singer and actress Eartha Kitt married John William McDonald, an associate of a real estate investment company, on June 9, 1960. They had one child, a daughter named Kitt McDonald, born on November 26, 1961, and baptized Catholic at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. Kitt and McDonald separated on July 1, 1963, and divorced on March 26, 1964.
A longtime Connecticut resident, Kitt lived in a converted barn on a sprawling farm in the Merryall section of New Milford for many years and was active in local charities and causes throughout Litchfield County. She later moved to Pound Ridge, New York, but returned in 2002 to the southern Fairfield County, Connecticut town of Weston, in order to be near her daughter Kitt and family. Her daughter, Kitt, married Charles Lawrence Shapiro in 1987.
Kitt died of colon cancer on Christmas Day 2008, three weeks shy of her 82nd birthday at her home in Weston, Connecticut. These lovely photos captured beautiful moments of Eartha Kitt with her little daughter Kitt McDonald in the 1960s.
