A friend of my grandmother’s grew up in Hartford and she has a wonderful Katharine Hepburn story about one of her classmates. One of her 8th grade classmates was hitchhiking home (which was done in those days) and he was picked up by Miss Hepburn. He moved to get in the back and she scolded him and pointed to the fur coat in the front seat and said “oh, just throw that old thing in the back and come sit up here in the front with me” I can just hear the words coming out of her mouth, can’t you?

on an early morning in summer 1978, i was jogging on empty Santa Monica beach, when an elderly woman with large "i-don't-want-to-be-recognized-sunglasses" was jogging up to me. when we came closer i thought to myself, that i know this woman (she could have been easily be my grandmother) after we had passed each other i thought: THAT WAS KATHARINE HEPBURN! , and i turned around to look after her. ...and, i don't make this up, she also had turned to look after ME, with her sunglasses lifted. we were both so shocked, that we continued our way... ;-) i was 22 years old at the time. i will never forget. .... :-)

@Berry Harbour don't think so either. She was very close to her brother, who sadly hung himself when they were both young. She found him. Can't imagine having to go through something like that. I would think it would give you empathy for others. She just seemed to me like an interesting person, curious about things and people, even as she aged. I think that is a great perspective to have.
She did show herself here to be.....a strong woman very sincere in who she is. Should she ever have had felt guilty of being from a privileged family.? NO. She has that look of beauty that could not be interepitted any other way no matter what age. ...

Yeah she says her childhood was just luck but more parents should make a conscious effort as to how children are raised "it's easier to build strong children than repair broken adults". With women especially though if you are strong and not conditioned to be submissive or abused that is treated as unusual by society even now.
She didn't hide, and that was the best cover up. One of the best interviews I have ever seen.
She really doesn't need to tell us about her energetic personality, we can see it and hear it. She can't even wait for him to finish a question, if she already has the answer. That in itself is fascinating. And the thought that she herself couldn't believe all the things she did, that she hoped she'd drop dead before she had to come to it, incredible. It's so easy to assume that actors have no fear, and that that's why they can explore all the characters they play, why they can put themselves out there, as they do

I am a fan of Kate the actress. I usually don’t watch interviews because I don’t care too much about their personal lives, their politics, etc. Ms. Hepburn is a fine actress who deserved her 4 Oscars, maybe more. Like Bette Davis, she’s an alpha female. One of the Hollywood elite of the Golden Age.

One of the greatest clips ever. I agree with her with just about everything, except about being petrified. But that is/was her life. Everyone is different, has their own roadmap and makes their own choices and voice. But being fortunate, having some luck early on, and having a sense of adventure, and growing and experiencing, and not being afraid leads certainly to a wonderful life most will never experience.

Remember Dick’s interview with Tony Hopkins who was extremely generous with his praise about Katherine Hepburn
I loved this lady
Katharine Houghton Hepburn (Hartford, 12 de mayo de 1907-Fenwick, 29 de junio de 2003) fue una actriz estadounidense. Conocida por su fuerte independencia y personalidad enérgica, fue una primera actriz en Hollywood durante más de sesenta años. Intervino en una variedad de géneros que van desde la comedia alocada a dramas basados en obras literarias y recibió cuatro premios Óscar a la mejor actriz, un récord no superado por ningún intérprete hasta la fecha. Es uno de los grandes mitos femeninos de la historia del cine. En 1999, Hepburn fue nombrada por el American Film Institute como la mayor estrella femenina de la historia de Hollywood.
Admirable
A fascinating woman, I read the book Katharine Hepburn Barbara Leaming it tells of her family history how it affected her
She was a feminist with the knowing that women and men are different. She didn't wanted children, it is better that, then be a awful mother. But I also think she was very discipline and expect that from others.

She's absolutely right. She had a lucky combination of being beautiful according to her day's beauty standard, well-educated, intelligent, white and from a liberal, supportive family. So, she had opportunities, a strong foundation and a headstrong attitude. With that, however much talent you have at 18/19 (which is today's 30/35) can be nurtured and grown.
So wise

Katherine Hepburn broke laws by wearing pants and did stereotypical masculine hobbies. That was quite a politically Feminist thing to do back in her day.
"Men are all the same"? Yeah, right.
Interesting--she says (in the beginning of this interview clip) that she isn't on board with the women's rights movement at the time (2nd wave/70s) because _"women and men are simply not the same"_ and that _"women must bear the children"._ Then she goes and says that there are "women like me that have lived like men". That undercuts her point that women's rights movement doesn't work bc of some immutable difference between men and women--clearly she defied that! Isn't that what the feminist movement was about? Also, she herself never had children, so it's unusual for her to insist that women must bear children, as if that is some thing that must define how all women must live their lives--she never did so, it's kind moot coming from her.

Her point was that she's the outlier.
I find this a very inspiring interview. I was reflecting today about some moments of regret in my life. Moments when I wanted to say something, or do something, but was held back by timidity. Katherine Hepburn directs herself to this very point. She was brought up not to fear. I only wish that I had been brought up the same way. The trouble is that your youthful induction into the world shapes you for life. If you are brought up to fear it is mightily difficult to shake it off in later life. I can only hope that I did a better job with my children.
Can you imagine her saying today that men are men and women are women, the woke brigade would cancel her straight away and ruin her career at a loss to us all.

IIRC, self described "lucky" and "unlucky" people were asked to count the photos in a newspaper. The "lucky" people determined the number considerably faster. When asked how they did it, they noted that there was an advertisement on the second page that said “Stop counting - There are 43 photographs in this newspaper.” .

Depth. Lacking today.
Current feminists should listen to Mrs Hepburn...they could learn something and perhaps they would stop embarrassing themselves.
I watched a documentary about her a few weeks ago and her childhood wasn't that great actually. Apparently her dad was a bully and her older brother committed suicide because of him. She found him dead in his room, he hung himself and she had to get him down. She was only a child at the time.
