Don't make them like that anymore loved her

Lucky you. I would have loved to have met her

Lucy Mae she was top draw ..ill never ever forget

"Miss Bacall". Good for you.

MidnightMan what a lovely story. Thanks for sharing.

and did not desire to be worshipped after death.

Km

@@MTknitter22 Yup your right. Katherine didn't want anyone to fuss over her after death. When she died, she was cremated and her urn buried in the family plot with no grand elaborate ceremony. A true lowkey women to the end.

Love this Era! My mom was like that too.

We need more “diva’s” like that! Beautifully real

It's been written in several biographies of her, that she had a wicked sense of humor, and that she was very often misunderstood because of it.

So many people fail to realize what a wonderful sense of humor she had her whole life.

I imagine both Hepburn and Bacall would have been great fun to hang out with.

lol hilarious !!!

@@JeffAltemus listen to the play Tea at Five by Matthew Lombardo with Kate Mulgrew as Hepburn it’s awesome

Glenn close mentioned at a tribute for her that she inspired her to act and she sent back a latter saying "Dear Glenn Close, A great big hug for your sweet contribution. I’m glad I persuaded you when you were a mere child to join this terrible profession, this terrifying profession, and, let’s face it, this delicious way to spend your life. With affectionate thanks, Kate Hep”

Wasn't that thrilling for you and very kind. Thx for sharing

@@Josephhillcrest I like that she wrote back and seemed to appreciate her fans.

Lucky.

I wish I had written to her when I first became a fan in the 1980's. I did buy one she sent to someone else to add to my Hepburn collection.

Just put your lips together and blow.....just hypnotizing.

The cigs.

~~~Rich~~~!!!~~~ and strong.

@@mayaa5048 She sounded pretty much the same in the 40’s too

It's about being strong...and that is a decision.... a choice, like everything else.

Well, "tough" means "hard to chew." Beautiful, strong women are not "easy." But they are free, and that makes them fascinating.

Can see why Bogie fell for her even though they had quite a bit of an age difference.

@@jadezee6316 Proof?

@@jadezee6316 - And....?

Yes, I love someone like that. It's refreshing.

Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep are two right away. And Angela Lansbury is still with us.

@@mrjones29 meh

@@susanneconway Keep your numbskull words to yourself if you cannot form intelligent sentences why my choices are not real stars! There's hasn't been a better actors actress than Streep in the history of Hollywood, Blanchett echoes real star quality and is a fine actor and Lansbury is from that Golden era of Bacall and Hepburn and an Oscar winner. I like being right all the time.

z g me too

We will never see the likes of them again. We don't have Stars anymore. We live in different times now. Social media has taken away the Mystique.

Thomas Futrell..Absolutely the best female voice ever. I'd get goose flesh when she'd announce the PBS ID !

Absolutely! I would also listen to Dame Judi Dench read absolutely anything.

Seriously! Me too!

Female Voices that Break Glass, physically Hurt my ears !!

Thomas Futrell I enjoyed Colleen Dewhurt’s voice. Shame she passed away.

I watched these movies starting at age 5 on the linoleum floor, with Glee! In 1952. :)

Yes, and when she looked that look, The Look, she was really nervous and young and shy, so the directors said to keep doing that, glad she did.

ilovebeinagirl can add Maureen O’Hara with them as well. Three top Ladies with a capital “L”

Who is they that you are talking about? They made they? People are born, not made. You don't have to be the same age as someone else to know who they are?

Her father was a very liberal doctor and her mother a leader in the women's voting rights movement. She lost her older brother in her teens (I think), most thought he killed himself. Her acting was a way for her to deal with things. She was ambitious as hell, and very smart. Not intelligent in the books but smart. She managed to mask her personal love life by mounting relations with famous men who were not exactly straight, like Spencer Tracy and even Howard Hughes. (Her first husband was totally gay and was her first attempt to use a man as a beard. They never lived together, and even have sex. She kept him around until going after larger prey). They were her beards, but she was also theirs. I think her major love was Laura Harding (name?) who was the heir to the American Express money tree. Harding said once that she believed Hepburn wasn't capable of loving anyone, that she was just too narcistic. And career driven. I guess she loved being famous. I would think she would be a cautious role model, depending on how open minded you are.

Susan Sarandon comes to mind..

@@bluefen no, similar but , no

Margaret No. Happens. Thanks. Bye

You need new glasses if you can't see how stunning she is.

Charisma!!!

@@littlemissblackdress7587 Or maybe some people just don’t share the same opinion as you. Who woulda thought. 🤷‍♀️

Her last name was Bacall, not Becall. Why were you concerned about her age? Were you 12?

A gorgeous woman. Still stunning and sexy in the 70’s-90’s clips with a remarkable face framed by beautiful hair. Even in the later clips she was radiant, never an old lady. She also was one of a kind, a true star!

As in Planned Parenthood? Gosh I hope not.

@@paxdomini6061 come off it. 🙄 And it's not that surprising KH would ask for donations to Planned Parenthood because her mother was one of the co-founders.

@@errolpletcher9186 Despite the extensive puffing of facts on the internet and Wikipedia, no, Mrs. Hepburn (as she was known) wasn't a co-founder of Planned Parenthood, although she was part of a trio that met with Margaret Sanger a number of times (Sanger mentions her just once in passing in a sentence in her autobiography, published in 1938.) Mrs. Hepburn *was* part of a group that was inspired by Sanger, and she helped form the Connecticut Branch of the American Birth Control League in 1923 (in 1921 Sanger founded the American Birth Control League [precursor to PPFA] before Mrs. Hepburn ever met her.) Katharine Hepburn the actress did not become associated with PP until 1981, and that was merely to lend her name and did not include any actual involvement.

Lauren

And Katharine, while we're at it. :)))

They were Divine!

Diva from their era doesn’t necessarily mean rude or bitchy. It’s more about the essence of the person or at least it was

It's called Class.

@C W It’s just the human condition. We try to feel better about ourselves by assigning judgment to others. It helps us escape how bad we feel inside. It’s good to rise above it though.

All her friends did.

She mentioned in her book that Kate’s close friends called her Kate, Katie, or auntie Kate

A Brooklyn girl I think

No one thinks its a new thing.

@@marklloyd5662 So are you paid to be a troll or are you just an asshole?

tartfuel 👍🏼

Mark Lloyd Stupid troll.

@@tartfuel yep. Apparently born with narrow hips & no Adam's apple.

Not my idea of big, they were slim beauties and didn't have particularly broad shoulders.

@Website guy There's an old episode of "What's My Line" where she is the celebrity guest. Very young, and simply destroys host John Daly.

And the performers are usually pretty poor. Just empty show biz, "names" so people under 60 will watch.

Tough has the connotation of being difficult. Resilient is a good word and its better than tough at saying what you're saying.

perkyporkpie I had a similar experience with Debbie Harry, shot the breeze and got out before I became too annoying
