Katharine Hepburn è stata un'attrice americana, rinomata per aver incarnato donne forti, indipendenti e di spirito sullo schermo e sul palcoscenico. La sua carriera, durata oltre sei decenni, è stata caratterizzata da un'eccezionale versatilità in una vasta gamma di generi, dalle commedie screwball ai drammi letterari. Ha collaborato frequentemente con Spencer Tracy, dando vita a nove film e a una leggendaria collaborazione cinematografica. Hepburn si è costantemente sfidata, abbracciando ruoli classici e apparendo in film per la televisione, consolidando il suo status di figura dominante del cinema.
This book will tell you What it was like for me to meet John Huston, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall In London and in Africa For the first time. To work with them nonstop for about three months. And why — Come hell or high water Through thick and through thin For better and for worse But not quite until death did we part — It was great fun. — K. H.
A hard-drinking river boat man (Bogart) and a stern, puritanical lady missionary (Hepburn) are thrown together in the war-torn African jungle as they embark on a perilous mission to destroy a German gunboat.
If you loved listening to Katherine Hepburn talk, you'll love reading this. It's her voice in sentences, sentence fragments, whole and parceled thoughts, asides, diversions. A lot of names from Hollywood 30s to 80s. Honest & sad about her priviilege, her ego and "Spence". I loved it. I loved her and her trousers!
