JANET Jackson wants to play Eartha Kitt in a movie of the legendary actress and singer’s life.
Janet told Jet magazine that the late Batman star handpicked her for the role.
“I adore her [Kitt] and I had the opportunity to spend time with her,” Janet said.
“She had expressed wanting me to portray her and was excited about the idea of me portraying her in a film.
“If that’s really going to happen, I’m not quite sure, but I hope it does.
“What an icon. She had gone through so much not just her adulthood, but her childhood.”
Kitt who played Catwoman in the Batman TV series in the 1960 died aged 81, on Christmas Day 2008.
Janet who has been married and divorced twice recently admitted she isn’t the go-to gal when it comes to relationship advice.
“I’m really the wrong person to ask,” she said earlier this month. ” I’ve been married twice and divorced twice, so I don’t think I should be answering this question ‘What have I learned?’
“There are going to be hills and valleys and what I’ve seemed to have noticed is that a lot of the young people today, they seem to want to quit at the first drop of drama or issues that they have.
“Even with my parents, there were the bad times. It’s always going to happen and you need to work through those. If the love is there, you get through them together with trust and communication.”
