Katherine Hepburn

Katherine Houghton Hepburn, also known as the ultimate Hollywood legend, was a gifted actress with a sharp wit and a fierce independent streak. She was widely celebrated for her effortless grace, classic beauty, and her mastery of the silver screen.

Born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1907, Katherine was the second oldest of six children. She was raised in a household that was equal parts love and chaos, which just about sums up her entire career.

Despite her extensive portfolio of outstanding movies, Hepburn was known for her infamous quirks. She was well known for never wearing a skirt, her preference for suits, and her distinct New England accent which was almost like she had a mouth full of marbles.

Her films were also famous for their memorable one-liners, such as “I’m a Woman”, “I have to kill because I’m a part of nature”, and “Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don’t do that by sitting around.”

Hepburn’s acting genius was second to none, perhaps only surpassed by her ability to fall on her face without getting hurt. She was dedicated to her craft and had an unyielding passion for performing. However, rumour has it that her signature jump which she performed in The Philadelphia Story didn’t go down so well at one of the rehearsals.

Despite Hepburn’s eccentricities, she remains one of the most influential and beloved actors of all time. When it came to entertainment, Hepburn was an icon, always playing birds of unusual plumage. It seems that whether it was on-screen or off, Katherine Hepburn was always ready to bring the laughs, the drama, and the sheer entertainment that made her one of the most beloved actresses of her generation.

So, if you’re looking for a good laugh or an unforgettable performance, look no further than Katherine Hepburn - the original Hollywood rebel, the adopted mother of “The Spencer Tracy Legacy”, and one character that will always stand the test of time.
