'Lethal Weapon' star Keesha Sharp seems to be finding her passion behind the lens. Fresh off directing an episode of Fox's show, she's set to star and produce a biopic about American actress Eartha Kitt with her husband Brad Sharp, Deadline reported. Sharp has reportedly bought the rights to John Williams' 2013 biography 'America’s Mistress: The Life and Times of Eartha Kitt'.

Kitt was a singer, actress, dancer, activist, author, and songwriter and was known for her highly distinctive singing style; her 1953 recordings of 'C'est si bon' and 'Santa Baby' were both US Top 10 hits. She was best known for her portrayal of Catwoman in the third and final season of the 1960s television series 'Batman'. She starred alongside Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin.
