Description
Pop art portrait of Katharine Hepburn. Hepburn (1907 – 2003) was an American stage and film actress with a career as a Hollywood leading lady spanning over 60 years. Her screen personality matched her public image as a strong-willed, sophisticated woman.
Her roles covered numerous genres, from screwball comedy to literary drama, for which she won a record-breaking four Academy Awards for Best Actress. The American Film Institute named her the most outstanding female star of classic Hollywood cinema.
She began acting in amateur productions at age 12. As an adult, after good work on Broadway, she moved to Hollywood. Her first years in film were marked with success, winning an Oscar for her third picture, "Morning Glory" (1933). She starred in "Bringing Up Baby" (1938) and "The Philadelphia Story" (1940), a major box office success giving her a third Academy Award nomination.
She played a middle-aged spinster in "The African Queen" (1951), followed by three more Oscar-winning performances in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (1967), "The Lion in Winter" (1968), and "On Golden Pond" (1981).
She also won Oscar nominations and unanimous admiration for "Alice Adams" (1935), "Woman of the Year" (1942), "Summertime" (1955), "The Rainmaker" (1956), "Suddenly Last Summer" (1959), and "Long Day's Journey Into Night" (1962). As co-star in "Woman of the Year," Spencer Tracy entered her life to become a lifelong intimate friend. The Tracy-Hepburn relationship has long been a legend, as they acted together in nine films during their 25-year-long romance.
She turned down several projects, including the role of Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind," for which she tested.
When she first arrived in Hollywood, Hepburn's image was quite different from that of the usual Hollywood star. She strode through town in slacks, refused to grant interviews, shunned autograph hounds, and kept her private life tightly sealed. Nor did she join the Hollywood movie crowd, preferring instead the company of intellectuals. Dignified and wilful, she demanded and received the respect of studio executives, unaccustomed to her style.
