Omg omg no!!! Amazing 😀 She took the time to do this

Bravo!

That is so beautiful!

She said she lived for everyone else for living just for herself would be selfish, glad you have that thank you from her 🤙

That's amazing! She was an amazing person..

Her autobiography was amazing 😊

Agree!

My mother looked like her. My daughter was born on mom's birthday and I named her after "Kate" too. It's amazing how much my daughter is strong like "Kate".

oh yes she is, she's with us in spirit forever! Keep the faith!♥♥

Lovely memory thanks for sharing

I came to reply the same thing Brenda Drew had already said.

Today actresses have proven that you can do both, not always successfully, but sometimes successfully! Oscar winning Meryl Streep has raised four children successfully, one an actress as well as a long term marriage without a hint of scandal! Annette Bening is another one with a long term marriage with four kids, can be done!

what you shared was very personal either way one needs to do what makes one strong & happy with o es life ... the 2nd reply was well written well .thanks to u both

Katharine Hepburn once stated that after her beloved older brother died accidentally i.e. not a suicide, she didn't have children because she had to help raise the other four younger siblings since she was now the oldest! My feeling is that she regreted not having a child with Spencer because once her friend Cynthia McFadden who got married at Fenwich had a baby, they named him Spencer after Spencer Tracy who had two children from his marriage to Louise.

Stevie Nicks said pretty much the same thing. Even in this day and age women still have to choose between a successful career and raising children, you never hear a man with that problem, he’ll just get a wife to do it. Women who claim to “have it all”…maybe ask their kids a couple of years from now. And women who tried to delegate the duties to a “house husband” always ended up with an insecure, unfulfilled man cheating on them or competing with them, to prove their manhood. Gender defined roles, it seems, will never completely go away, women will always be on the losing side because their presence is so crucial in a child’s development. Why do psychoanalysts always ask “Now, tell me about your mother?”

@@brendadrew834 I assure you, Brenda, that Tracy and Hepburn did nothing that could result in having a child.

Me, too!

Me as well. And that is just what I am doing. With absolute joy!

She suffered from tremors. My neurologist diagnosed me with the same disease about 15 years ago. There is medication now and I did take it for years until I started falling. I'll never forget the Dr. telling me I was going to be just like Katharine Hepburn. I hate shaking.

Maureen: *Katharine*

I do not think Lauren Bacall was best friends with Hepburn ... they knew one another as Bacall had been abroad with her husband when he was making The African Queen with Hepburn ... her best friend was a Laura Harding ... they had been pals since the early 1930s.

Her home was in old Saybrook

You have very low standards ... and perhaps morals as well.

amusingly well said thank u. I agree !! °•~\€£¥☆••}♡◇《¡》

Briefly mentioned Hepburn and H. Hughes @35:00

Love that Lady. A real Icon....beautiful inside & out! Really a true Movie Star.

sounds very rude and entitled.

Paul Caron, Please spell her name right. She detested that misspelling.

@@pepalermo okay got it ✅

​@@paulcaron400 Katharine 😅🎉

She was a closet lesbian, butch...rude and difficult with other actors, Spencer Tracy was also a closet case, their marriage was a sham as was most of all Hollywood was in those days

@@bobbob-ym8qs Being rude and difficult to bad guys seems fine to me. At least she was not mean to appropriate actors. Just treacherous producers directors and stupid actors, unlike Bette who became mean to nearly everyone. Shame on BD !

She acted an ugly woman becoming very rich and many men wanted to marry her ..can you remember the name of this film cuz I forgot it ?

I remember that!!!

*Katherine's nieces *firsthand

*Katharine's nieces* / *firsthand*

Interesting. I too know a niece from the Houghton side of the family. Watching this is like watching a story of the "Ms.'s" personality. They even look similar except the Ms. has dark hair. The interaction between Ms. Hepburn and the artist defines my friend's personality to a T.

1:16:10 I often bought outfits because they reminded me of Katherine Hepburn’s style.

She was an awesome actress

His home is a mess lol

@@TrangPakbaby I couldn’t figure out what the HELL he was doing filming in the middle of that mess!

@@tootscarlson eating corn...

Drag the bar to the end, then hit the repeat circular arrow ;)

@@RustyDice Really!? I will try that. Thanks

@@StiltFactory it doesn't always, always work - but most times.

@@RustyDice thank you it worked for me!

What makes it hard for me is every time that costumer lady comes on and says absolutely nothing interesting.

*Katharine*

Sheep people who call other people sheep are usually the biggest copy and paste trend word sheep themselves

*should be ladies *unheard of *you're not forgotten.

4 Oscars.

I don't know. Francis McDermott is at Kate's heels with 3 Oscars.

Old man yells at cloud

This opened my eyes to who she was what a fantastic woman, love her

i thought she was an amazing actress with her best role being Spencer Tracy's lover - what a performance.

"Tragic" might be a bit of an overstatement but I know what you mean.

And as some of us modern day Australia’s would colloquially say balls

I love her as well!

actually, her high collars had nothing to do with her jaw line on screen - her neck was her personal least favorite thing about herself, she likened her neck to that of a chickens - it is for that reason she wore high collars.

@@ThePracticalDog You're right. She showed her long, taut, lovely neck when young, but understandably, it changed. I saw in some interview she was asked to comment on "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" as some stills were shown. Just say something about it. Kate: "I really covered my neck in that one!"

She most likely paid for it.. knowing how she thought , I would have paid for it if I was wealthy enough.. That’s how she would compromise so these workers would not be paid or fired…

Liz Smith, the late gossip columnist who knew Hepburn, confirmed that she was a lesbian.

In the final analysis...words said by Spencer in GWCTD, it really isn't our business. I think she was perhaps wanting to be a man , and therefore dressed like one. Acted like one in some roles. She just didn't care what people thought of her that way. I saw her in a Ckive James interview...there she was in slacks, and these unattractive almost boots on. For some reason she hid her neck,was extremely sensitive about how her neck looked, but openly admitted in that interview and others her obvious need to be masculine. In several interviews she blanatly states she wanted desperately to be a boy as a child, and also wanted to be a man. The interviewer hears the implications of what she's saying, but no interviewer Ever asked well then are you gay? It would have been the follow up question, but none Ever asked it. It shows the tremendous respect everyone felt for her. So was she gay? Perhaps. Obviously. Maybe. I don't think sex was that important to her...just a gut feeling I get. I do believe she did love Spencer, and he her.

Far from every somewhat (or even very) masculine woman is a lesbian, so maybe she wasn’t. She might have been though. What’s sad is that either way, she couldn’t win. If she was gay, she never got to be herself 100% + she was being judged for the “affair” the studio concocted for years on end. If she was straight, she was unfortunate enough to fall for a married man and got judged for acting on it far more harshly than he did. Self-righteous Christians are still slinging mud at her in this very comment section (with the fervour of someone who got cheated on or is cheating), so imagine how bad it was back then. For KH to manage to still live on her terms and accomplish so much anyway is quite remarkable. Basically, she couldn’t win, except she did 😊

Katharine may have chosen to have sex with both genders. Regardless, her decisions are between her and God.

It seems oh, so very important to you to "establish" she and Tracey were 100% straight, though. You're conjecturing about them the same as those who wonder otherwise. None of us knew her. Your belief isn't more definitive because you're more comfortable with it. What's so hard to understand about this interest? If your favorite star was from your hometown, you'd feel an added attachment, for instance. People conjecture because it's inspiring to think someone you admire might have that in common with you. Simple as. You seemingly believe there's something wrong with being thought gay or bi, so that's solely your problem. There are people KH knew, who were actually friends and colleagues - meaning knew her much better than either of us - who believe or understand or say they were outright *told* by KH that she was involved with women too. Odds are they know better than us, who just watch her wonderful movies. Everybody is just trying to get through life, with some enjoyment and sanity. Lighten up.
