Katharine Houghton Hepburn (May 12, 1907 – June 29, 2003) was an American actress. Known for her fierce independence and spirited personality, Hepburn was a leading lady in Hollywood for more than 60 years. She appeared in a range of genres, from screwball comedy to literary drama, and she received four Academy Awards for Best Actress—a record for any performer. In 1999, Hepburn was named by the American Film Institute as the greatest female star of Classic Hollywood Cinema.
Raised in Connecticut by wealthy, progressive parents, Hepburn began to act while studying at Bryn Mawr College. After four years in the theatre, favorable reviews of her work on Broadway brought her to the attention of Hollywood. Her early years in the film industry were marked with success, including an Academy Award for her third picture, Morning Glory (1933), but this was followed by a series of commercial failures which led her to be labeled "box office poison" in 1938. Hepburn masterminded her own comeback, buying out her contract with RKO Radio Pictures and acquiring the film rights to The Philadelphia Story, which she sold on the condition that she be the star. In the 1940s, she was contracted to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where her career focused on an alliance with Spencer Tracy. The screen-partnership spanned 25 years and produced nine movies.

The entrance video of Katharine Hepburn's only Oscar appearance can be found here on you tube as well as the other clips that I have used. A wonderful non-profit Kate fansite called All about Kate found here: http://katharine-hepburn.webs.com/index.htm is a wonderful place to find great Kate pics and info.
Born May 12, 1907 in Hartford, Connecticut, she was the daughter of a doctor and a suffragette, both of whom always encouraged her to speak her mind, develop it fully, and exercise her body to its full potential. An athletic tomboy as a child, she was also very close to her brother, Tom, and was devastated at age 14 to find him dead, the apparent result of accidentally hanging himself while practicing a hanging trick their father had taught them. For many years after this, Katharine used his birthdate, November 8, as her own. She then became very shy around girls her age, and was largely schooled at home. She did attend Bryn Mawr College, however, and it was here that she decided to become an actress, appearing in many of their productions. After graduating, she began getting small role...
I havent Uploaded a Video In nearly a Year but here is a tribute to Katharine Hepburn the most wonderful actress and such an extraordinary women. No copyright infringment intended.
This is my tribute to the remarkable Katharine Hepburn, on the tenth anniversary of her passing - 29.06.13 I've always admired her beauty, talent and exuberant spirit and I wanted to capture that in the video. I've used clips from many of her movies throughout the years, spanning her career of six decades. She is truly one of a kind, and has been an inspiration to me in so many ways. Ten years gone, but her legacy lives on. ♥
A tribute to one of the most important actresses of the 20th century; Katharine Hepburn, Golden Hollywood's problem child who would have been 100 years of age this year. I hope you rest in peace, Kate - you deserve it. Music is "Angel", by The Corrs.

Katharine Hepburn Interview Part 1 Dick Cavett Show 1973
Katharine Hepburn Interview Part 2 Dick Cavett Show 1973
Australian writer and poet, Clive James, in one of the best, most revealing interviews with actor Katharine Hepburn in her New York home. The first and last time I saw this was in 1985 on a St. Louis public broadcast station. Hepburn talks about her parents, their activism, her upbringing, why she shaved her head at age 10 ["I desperately wanted to be a boy"], and she continues throughout the interview referring to herself as a man. Hollywood and acting; how she chooses film roles and those she stays away from. Getting old and getting old in the US. In the mid-80's, she was still not talking about her personal relationship with fellow actor Spencer Tracy, so when James delves deeper into the topic, without missing a beat Hepburn warns him off mid-sentence. She is just as tight-lipped abo...

An exhibition in New York is celebrating the iconic fashion of Hollywood star Katharine Hepburn. Her fondness for trousers and refusal to wear what was then the norm for Hollywood stars of the 1930s and '40s changed the perception of how women should dress. But Hepburn was not averse to glamour and worked closely with designers to create the perfect look. Barbara Plett reports.

It's a rather rude gesture, but at least it's clear what you mean. I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun. Without discipline, there's no life at all. Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do. If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun. Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
Was known for being an avid golfer, tennis player, and swimmer. She was also known for taking cold showers and for riding her bicycle around Manhattan.

One of her closest friends, Canadian portrait artist Myfanwy Pavelic died on May 11, 2007, one day short of Hepburn's 100th birthday anniversary. Was fired by the producer of Travels with My Aunt (1972) early in the filming for demanding too many script changes. Was replaced by Maggie Smith. Dropped out of the The Blue Bird (1976) before shooting began. Was a self-confessed fan of John Gilbert and Greta Garbo.

Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer. Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then. Life is hard. After all, it kills you. If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun. Without discipline, there's no life at all. Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.
