Katharine Hepburn

You might have caught Katharine Hepburn in one of her later movies where she usually shined as some version of a very stubborn, often grumpy, but good-hearted and wise older woman. And although my first encounter with her as the heiress that was bringing up baby, she actually was a really stubborn woman in reality and most of her movie roles. I want to quote Wikipedia because it is such a create summary of her: “She was known for her headstrong independence, spirited personality, and outspokenness, cultivating a screen persona that matched this public image, and regularly playing strong-willed, sophisticated women.”

She was often accused of playing herself onscreen – and her roles actually did mirror in many ways her personality. Katharine Hepburn’s story is an extraordinary one filled with many surprises.
