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.

Plot: Two gangs control Brooklyn's drug trade. The Vanguard, known for being pragmatic and calculated, while the Ronin take what they want and are fueled by their youthful sense of entitlement. Now the inevitable has happened: The Ronin want to take out the competition, while Vanguard want to knock their arrogant rivals off their high horse. But the leaders of both crews realize the possibility both can 'eat' and still keep the peace... their lieutenants, however, don't see it that way. No matter how much money or power you have, the want for more still remains. War is coming!

Plot: Roger Ferris is a CIA operative in the Middle East; Ed Hoffman is his control at Langley. Cynicism is everywhere. In Amman, Roger works with Hani Salaam, Jordan's head of security, whose only dictum is "Don't lie to me." The Americans are in pursuit of a cleric who leads a group placing bombs all over Europe. When Hani rebukes Ed's demand that Jordan allow the Americans to use one of Jordan's double agents, Roger and Ed hatch a plan to bring the cleric to them. The plan is complicated by its being a secret from Hani and by Roger's attraction to a local nurse. Satellites and cell phones, bodies and lies: modern warfare.

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...
This interview aired in 1981.

Katharine Hepburn was blunt and candid, in this classic interview with Morley Safer.
Wake up, months have changed, have fucked me up

Your laughter takes me from disaster to tears
All washed away on holiday, come on
Jamaica, ooh, I'm gonna take ya away
On holiday, on holiday
Our problems, time will have to solve them someday
On holiday, on holiday
Warm sun tells me that it's more fun to stay
