Very sad. Because death is not a nap.

Boy aren’t YOU depressing

I think she is highly overrated as an actress. She did a few good ones, there was that one scene in on Golden Pond, that was pretty cool where she tells Henry Fonda to get on his horse and ride, that gave me goosebumps, but all in all she was just an average actress.

@@debbiepowers4743 A mannered and overrated actress. Highly pretentious. No Tallulah or Ethel Barrymore. A notorious WASPy snob. Ever hear the story Jane Fonda tells about Hepburn and Michael Jackson. Apparently Hep hated Blacks so when Jane brought Jackson onto the set Hep was super polite. She probably thought he`d never make it. LOL!!!! Elizabeth Taylor knew. Liza Minnelli too. Shevey too. LOL! Jackson`s manager lived in Riverdale then a `restricted` neighborhood. Jackson and Janet and one or two of the others used to take the Riverdale coach as did I as we lived in Ludlow on Hudson. The coach driver pointed them out one day and said `Do you know who they are? The Jackson Five. They are going to be SO BIG!` I have never forgot it.

@@sandrashevey8252 😎 cool!!!

I think she is a good actress

spoken like a single person. Marriage is a wonderful thing. You get a partner to go through life with and experience children and grandchildren with. You have a built in best friend ( if you are lucky)...people that knock it don't have it. Sorry for you.

@@tslilbearshoppe9870 Actually, a famous quote from a married person. Go figure 🤷🏽

@@tslilbearshoppe9870 Whats wrong with being single, I have to kids, and Ill have grandchildren, and I don't have to put up with some idiot who whines and complains all the time!! Dont be sorry for me, I will live a long and happy life not being with some sourpuss man.

@@tslilbearshoppe9870 you can still have that without being legally married

Who has it all?

@@zeldasmith6154 Nobody does! Billionaires have all the money in the world but get divorced and have terrible relationships with their children.

I saw in another one of her interviews she said she didn't want to go to the Oscar's because she was afraid of losing. It shocked me. I always figured she didn't go because awards didn't matter to her.

I agree. Ironic that she avoided interviews when she was in her prime but "came out" in later years. Some actors of the Golden Age, like Marlene Dietrich, hid away when they were "past their prime". Perhaps it was an act of defiance for Katie..... 'look at me as I really am'.

@MDMS Not sure what being gay has to do with it, she wasn't gay.

@Jabber Jaw She never had Parkinson. She had what is called “essential tremor.” It apparently ran in her family by her father’s side.

@@citizen1163 she waited until Spencer Tracy’s wife passed

@@mauiswift6391 good point.

i liked her best as Spencer Tracey's lover - what a performance.

Yes

She snorts.

Embarrassing though 🤭

@@seansmith445 Embarrassing why?

@@jairosantanafigueroa4139 You don't think snorting when laughing is embarrassing?

@@seansmith445 No

@@jairosantanafigueroa4139 Well I do.

She wasn’t that good of an actress.

@@debbiepowers4743 The lion in winter and Guess who coming to dinner, says otherwise.

@@tymessiaoliver2228 Agreed

Well her acting style was of her time. I think she proved she could do anything in on golden pond. That role absolutely moved me. The whole cast did a beautiful job!

@@standupG1 💯 agree!

Doesn't make sense adultery is a sin too and should have stopped him.

@@bionicwoman9884 exactly. I guess he went to church every sunday and repented. It clearly states that you are to repent and sin no more (the same sin)...I guess he missed that paragraph.

Tracy was bisexual and a lifestyle his wife could never accept as a strict Catholic. He did her a favor by not subjecting her to this where as Hepburn accepted it.

@@vaar2742 oy. Honestly in the Christian religion, any messing with the institute of marriage is considered a mortal sin so he is not such a great man after all. There is no such thing as bisexual. You can't be a little gay. You are gay or you are not. Period. Satan's got everyone really deceived boy. This world is not going in a good direction. Wake up people.

Wel well well, a person who knows the catholic religion. I’ m a Catholic myself and I can tell you that is a very difficult religion and very hard to know, bless you my angel

She came from a different time, a time where the father was the one who provided, and the women stayed at home to raise the children and keep the house. And I don’t think she’s talking merely about work, but a career, a profession such as hers, where you know you may not arrive at home for dinner, or a profession that may take you away from your family months on end.

@@jairosantanafigueroa4139 But in her time, single and widowed mothers still existed and some women needed to work out of economic necessity.

@@pam0626 Precisely. What she was saying is don’t have the children to begin with if you plan to have a career. She’s not talking about women who have to work to support a family. She’s talking about women who, in her opinion, work to develop their own egos.

@@jairosantanafigueroa4139 Exactly, thank you...why are people so dense they cannot think outside of the box and learn to empathize with another person even if they disagree with their opinions? Hepburn isn't talking about single women who have to work out of necessity , shes talking about people who have children and arent responsible or willing to be there to take care of their kids.

She was from a different era, and She is in someways right about staying home and exclusively giving up a career for children but that is not the world we live in anymore and of course nothing is not black and white.

did you say she was hideous??

How judgemental you are! Tracy lived separately from his wife even though they never divorced. Hepburn and tracy took great care not to be seen together in public. Despite taking a 5 year career break to look after tracy in his failing health until his death, Hepburn did not attend his funeral out of respect for his wife and family. I think that shows a lot of class and respect.

I always think comments like this are so incredibly naive and almost childish. Love and relationships are incredibly complicated. The way in which some people live and find happiness does not always reflect our own experience or way we perceive a life should be lived.

kate was a lesbian who paid scottie to get her teen girls for sex. the spencer lie was justa double beard

@@thomasdelvin3683 so you were there yeah? She was devoted to him, took a 5 year career break to care for him in his failing years.

@@thomasdelvin3683 who is "Scottie?" I am a HUGE K. Hepburn fan. Never heard that story. Of course over the years I've heard the lesbian story, but never the part you referenced.

🙏❤

I'm a Katharine Hepburn fan who's in her late 20s and has seen many of her interviews multiple times, so I like to think I know her pretty well. I mean no disrespect as it seems you do have good intentions, but you are stereotyping here. Just because a woman doesn't like to wear dresses or sleep in the same bed as her lover doesn't make her a lesbian. Many healthy relationships involve people who don't sleep in the same bed. My great grandparents did that and they were happily married for over 50 years before they passed away. She grew up around feminists and I can totally see her wanting to wear pants instead of dresses as a statement. I think if Miss Hepburn was a lesbian trying to make people believe she was straight she would have chosen a fake boyfriend she could be seen with publicly. She also probably wouldn't have wanted to disrespect Spencer, his wife (whether alive or after they passed) and their family by lying and saying she and Spencer were lovers. She liked to do things that didn't sit well with people, so I think if she was a lesbian she wouldn't have hidden that. That being said, she also loved her privacy so if she had been romantic with women she could have kept it to herself, but I still don't think she would have lied about Spencer. Just because she was introverted and spoke her mind doesn't mean she was on the spectrum, but I suppose she could have been. I also don't think she thought connection was logically insane. I think she was a very independent woman who valued connection in doses... why else would she find interviews like this fun and always welcoming friends over for dinner etc? She was ahead of her time in many ways and I think she simply just wanted to do things the way she wanted to do them. Again, no disrespect. It's hard to tell the tone when we're conversing through text... I just think your point of view seems old fashioned, so I wanted to shed some light.

God, I think the same too. In the Dick Cavett interview, he asks her if she’s ever shared an apartment with someone. And she seized up like a clam, got so defensive. I suspect he was referring to how she lived with female companions at different points in her life. And I agree with her possibly being on the spectrum. Her being so particular about certain things, not giving a f about certain others. Her strict routine, her becoming a chainsmoker overnight , her playing tennis for hours in her what? Seventies? Idk about misanthropy though. I think the “hermit” thing is part of the act. She obviously loves being adored (as she says in this clip about the neighbors and truck drivers) I mean it’s not in her constitution to do press? She went around town with a gibbon hanging off her neck. She’ll walk around the studio in her undergarments for taking away her slacks! I do think she loves people and attention and being interviewed. (Just how many are there of her in her old age lmao) Hence this “opening up” towards her later years (esp also now that most of her friends are dead and cannot call out her bs if we assume Tracy wasn’t really a fling of the normal hererosexual kind) And to the other reply, the wearing slacks/androgynous figure and unconventional lifestyle Are not the Only reasons why people think she might have been attracted to women. There’s so much else that points to her possibly being “queer” but of course it’s only speculation of course. Hepburn was always very astute about her public image. (Who else bounces back from being a declared Commie traitor to beloved American treasure?) and most people would rather believe in the narrative Hepburn wanted them to believe in.

That might explain why she wore pants all of the time 🤣

Funny, in that day they purposely stayed out of public not to disclose their relationship.

My mother would know if she were still alive. She was born 1925 but had one of the best gaydars I've ever came across.

She's just old. Old people speak their mind and they don't care if people are offended by it.

She definitely was eccentric and not for everybody.

Why bother watching and commenting then?

. Tried watching, when she got rude with Couric, I just commented.Great in African Queen and Rainmaker, though I think she was overrated.Sorry, she failed to entertain.

Why did you watch

@@gusa8006 Why not.

@@chrisestey7277 She was talented and was one of The remaining actors of The Golden age of Hollywood at that point

Do you just pop up here to make up garbage? Shame on you.

Don’t believe every piece of garbage you read. Read the facts and do research! There’s so out there.

That also doesn’t make any sense, because Spencer Tracy was married and had two children, even if he was gay why would he have to have an affair with another woman when he was already married - you'd think that being married with kids would be enough of a cover.

@@ericmaine because homosexuality was illegal then and Kate needed a cover too.

And you KNOW this, HOW??Shut the FUCK UP about that which you know NOTHING.The man has been dead for 54 YEARS and i doubt you ever met him. Incidentally, "they" said Kate was "gay", too. ONLY Spence and Kate OR the people they were SUPPOSEDLY involved with KNOW the truth. ALL of them are probably DEAD anyway....I KNOW KATE and SPENCER is! How about you? Are YOU GAY? NOT THAT I CARE.
