Announcement
The team behind Eartha Kitt C'est Si Bon announced in October 2022 that singer and actor Carrie Cain-Sparks would play Ella Fitzgerald. The film's planned cast already included Dani Lane as young Eartha Mae and Robert Beltran as Orson Welles. The producers presented Fitzgerald's role as part of a story about Kitt's artistic world and the entertainers whose paths crossed hers.
The announcement discussed Cain-Sparks' screen and singing work and included praise from director Shadow Dragu-Mihai. Such assessments are the creative team's opinion, not an independent appraisal of the finished performance. It also projected a 2023 release, a date that belongs to the historical production schedule and should not be repeated as a current promise.
The casting story is distinct from a review of the completed film. Anyone looking for a screening or a current release format should consult the rights holder or a present distributor listing. The announcement is valuable for documenting when Cain-Sparks' involvement became public and how the filmmakers described the ensemble at the time.
