Katharine

Houghton Hepburn (May 12, 1907 – June 29, 2003)

was an American actress. Known for her fierce independence and spirited

personality, Hepburn was a leading lady in Hollywood for more than 65 years.

She appeared in a range of genres, from screwball

comedy to literary drama, and she received a record

four Academy Awards for Best Actress. In 1999,

Hepburn was named by the American Film Institute the #1 greatest female star of Classic Hollywood Cinema. Raised in Connecticut

by wealthy, progressive parents, Hepburn began to act while

studying at Bryn Mawr College. After four years in the

theatre, favorable reviews of her work on Broadway

brought her to the attention of Hollywood. Her early years in the film industry

were marked with success, including an Academy Award for her third picture, Morning Glory (1933), but this was

followed by a series of commercial failures that led her to be labeled

"box office poison" in 1938. Hepburn masterminded her own comeback,

buying out her contract with RKO Radio

Pictures and acquiring the film rights to The Philadelphia Story, which she sold

on the condition that she be the star. In the 1940s, she was contracted to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where her career focused

on an alliance with Spencer Tracy. The screen partnership spanned

25 years and produced nine movies. Hepburn challenged herself in the latter

half of her life, as she regularly appeared in Shakespearean stage productions and tackled a

range of literary roles. She found a niche playing middle-aged spinsters, such

as in The African Queen (1951), a persona

the public embraced. Three more Oscars came for her work in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), The Lion in Winter

(1968), and On Golden Pond (1981). In the 1970s,

she began appearing in television films, which became the focus of her career

in later life. She remained active into old age, making her final screen

appearance in 1994 at the age of 87. After a period of inactivity and ill

health, Hepburn died in 2003 at the age of 96. Hepburn famously shunned the

Hollywood publicity machine, and refused to conform to society's expectations

of women. She was outspoken, assertive, athletic, and wore trousers before it

was fashionable for women to do so. She was briefly married as a young woman,

but thereafter lived independently. A 26-year affair with her co-star Spencer Tracy

was hidden from the public. With her unconventional lifestyle and the

independent characters she brought to the screen, Hepburn epitomized the

"modern woman" in the 20th-century United States, and is remembered

as an important cultural figure.
