I wonder why CBG imagined Catwoman as embodied by Julie Newmar as opposed to Eartha Kitt or Lee Merriweather?

Theories anyone?

Michelle Pfeiffer? The only real Catwoman was Julie Newmar, Eartha Kit or Lee Merriweather. And I don't need plastic to improve my physique. Pure *West*. And how come Batman doesn't dance anymore? Remember the Batusi? [chaka chaka ho ho chaka ho..]

Because Julie Newmar was sexiest?

The consensus seems to be that Julie Newmar is the definitive Catwoman. If it wasn't obvious just from looking at her, I remember reading about the cultural significance of Julie Newmar in *Entertainment Weekly* when the movie *To Wong Foo--With Love--Julie Newmar* came out.
