Dani Lane Cast as Young Eartha Kitt in C'est Si Bon

Announcement

The producers of Eartha Kitt C'est Si Bon announced in August 2022 that actor Dani Lane would portray Eartha Mae, the singer's younger self, in the biographical film. Director Shadow Dragu-Mihai said the role required an actor who could carry an important part of Kitt's early story. The announcement identified Lane's television work on Kenan and described the film as a dramatization of Kitt's path to international stardom.

At the time, the production had not yet publicly named the actor playing the adult Kitt, and its mid-2023 release date was a projection. Later promotional materials named Ashlee Olivia Jones in the title role and listed other cast members. The original timetable should therefore be read as part of the 2022 development announcement, not as a present upcoming release date.

Kitt's long career spanned music, theater, and screen, and portraying different stages of her life required a larger ensemble. A casting announcement confirms the producers' plan at that time; it does not establish a film's final distribution, critical response, or current streaming availability. Viewers should check current official listings for those details.
