Newmar, who played the character in the 1960s Batman TV series, also argued that Jolie would be the perfect casting for the role.
"Angelina would own the part," Newmar told the New York Daily News. "My industry friends tell me [she] has made inquiries about the role.
"I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman's one true love. She's tremendously popular with women because she's both a heroine and a villainess."
Other actresses that have played Catwoman include Halle Berry, Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether and Michelle Pfeiffer.
The Dark Knight writer David Goyer revealed earlier this month that future sequels in the superhero franchise wouldn't involve Catwoman or The Penguin.
