Katharine Houghton Hepburn was a four-time Academy Award-winning American star of film, television & stage, widely recognized for her sharp wit, New England gentility & fierce independence.
A screen legend, Hepburn holds the record for
the most Best Actress Oscar wins with four, from twelve nominations (Meryl Streep
currently holds the record for most overall acting nominations with fourteen).
Hepburn won an Emmy Award in 1975 for her lead role in Love Among the Ruins, &
was nominated for four other Emmys & two Tony Awards during the course of
her more than 70-year acting career. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked
Hepburn as the number one female star in their Greatest American Screen Legends
list (AFI's 100 Years... 100 Stars). Hepburn had a famous & longtime romance
with Spencer Tracy, both on- & off-screen.
Hepburn was born to Dr.
Thomas Norval Hepburn, a successful urologist from Virginia, & Katharine Martha
Houghton. Hepburn's father was a staunch proponent of publicizing the dangers
of venereal disease in a time when such things were not discussed, & her mother
campaigned for birth control & equal rights for women. The Hepburns demanded
frequent familiar discussions on these topics & more, & as a result the
Hepburn children were well versed in social & political issues. The Hepburn
children were never asked to leave a room no matter what the topic of conversation
was. Once a very young Katharine Hepburn even accompanied her mother to a suffrage
rally. The Hepburn children, at their parents' encouragement, were unafraid of
expressing frank views on various topics, including sex. "We were snubbed
by everyone, but we grew quite to enjoy that," Hepburn later said of her
unabashedly liberal family, who she credited with giving her a sense of adventure
& independence.
Her father insisted that his children be athletic, & encouraged swimming, riding, golf & tennis. Hepburn, eager to please her father, emerged as a fine athlete in her late teens, winning a bronze medal for figure skating from the Madison Square Garden skating club, shooting golf in the low eighties, & reaching the semifinal of the Connecticut Young Women's Golf Championship. Hepburn especially enjoyed swimming, & regularly took dips in the frigid waters that fronted her bayfront Connecticut home, generally believing that "the bitterer the medicine, the better it was for you." She continued her brisk swims well into her 80s. Hepburn would come to be recognized for her athletic physicality — she fearlessly performed her own pratfalls in films such as Bringing up Baby, which is now held up as an exemplar of screwball comedy.
When Hepburn was young, she found her older brother Tom, whom she idolized, hanging from the rafters by a rope, dead of an apparent suicide. Her family denied that it was self-inflicted, arguing that he had been a happy boy; rather, they insisted that it must have been an experimentation gone awry. It has also been speculated that the boy was trying to carry out a trick that he had seen in a play with Katharine. Hepburn was devastated by his death & sank into a depression. She shied away from children her own age & was mostly schooled at home. For many years she used Tom's birthday (November 8) as her own. It was not until she wrote her autobiography, Me: Stories of my Life, that Hepburn revealed her true birth date.
She was educated at the Kingswood-Oxford School before going on to attend Bryn Mawr College,where it was rumored she was expelled for smoking & breaking curfew, receiving a degree in history & philosophy in 1928, the same year she had her debut on Broadway after landing a bit part in Night Hostess.
A banner year for Hepburn, 1928 also marked her nuptials to socialite businessman Ludlow ("Luddy") Ogden Smith, whom she had met while attending Bryn Mawr & married after a short engagement. Hepburn & Smith's marriage was rocky from the start — she insisted he change his name to S. Ogden Ludlow so she would not be confused with well-known musician Kate Smith. They were divorced in Mexico in 1934. Fearing that the Mexican divorce was not legal, Ludlow got a second divorce in the United States in 1942 & a few days later he remarried. Although their marriage was a failure, Katharine Hepburn often expressed her gratitude toward Ludlow for his financial & moral support in the early days of her career. "Luddy" continued to be a lifelong friend to her & the Hepburn family.
On September
21, 1938, Hepburn was staying in her Old Saybrook, Connecticut home when the 1938
New England Hurricane struck & destroyed her house. Hepburn narrowly escaped
before the home was washed away.
Hepburn cut her acting teeth in plays at Bryn
Mawr & later in revues staged by stock companies. During her last years at
Bryn Mawr, Hepburn had met a young producer with a stock company in Baltimore,
Maryland, who cast her in several small roles, including a production of The Czarina
& The Cradle Snatchers.
Hepburn's first leading role was in a production of The Big Pond, which opened in Great Neck, New York. The producer had fired the play's original leading lady at the last minute, & asked Hepburn to assume the role. Terror stricken at the unexpected change, Hepburn arrived late & , once on stage, flubbed her lines, tripped over her feet & spoke so rapidly that she was almost incomprehensible. She was fired from the play, but continued to work in small stock company roles & as an understudy.
Later, Hepburn was cast in a speaking part in the Broadway play Art & Mrs. Bottle. Hepburn was fired from this role as well, though she was eventually rehired when the director could not find anyone to replace her. After another summer of stock companies, in 1932 Hepburn landed the role of Antiope the Amazon princess in The Warrior's Husband (an update of Lysistrata), which required her to wear a very short costume & debuted to excellent reviews. Hepburn became the talk of New York City, & began getting noticed by Hollywood.
In the play, Hepburn entered the stage by leaping down a flight of steps while carrying a large stag on her shoulders — an RKO scout (Leland Hayward, whom she would later romance) was so impressed by this display of physicality that he asked her to do a screen test for the studio's next vehicle, A Bill of Divorcement, which starred John Barrymore & Billie Burke.
In true Hepburn fashion, she demanded an outlandish $1,500 per week for film work (at the time she was earning between $80 & $100 per week). After seeing her screen test, RKO agreed to her demands & cast her, launching her film career beside legendary actor John Barrymore & director George Cukor, who would become a lifetime friend & colleague. In one of Barrymore's many attempts to bed her, he pinched Kate's behind on the set. She said, "If you do that again I'm going to stop acting." Barrymore replied, "I wasn't aware that you'd started, my dear."
RKO was delighted by audience
reaction to A Bill of Divorcement & signed Hepburn to a new contract after
it wrapped. But her nonconformist, anti-Hollywood behavior offscreen, which would
make her one of the silver screen's most beloved stars & a feminist icon,
at the time made studio executives fret that she would never become a superstar.
Though she was headstrong, her work ethic & talent were undeniable, &
the following year (1933), Hepburn won her first Oscar for best actress in Morning
Glory. That same year, Hepburn played Jo in the screen adaptation of Little Women,
which broke box-office records.
Intoxicated with her success — an Oscar followed by a smash hit at the box office — Hepburn felt it was time to make her return to the theater. She chose The Lake, but was unable to obtain a release from RKO & instead went back to Hollywood to film the forgettable movie Spitfire in 1933. Having satisfied RKO, Hepburn went immediately back to Manhattan to begin the play, in which she played an English girl unhappy with her overbearing mother & wimpy father. Generally considered a flop, Hepburn's acting in The Lake resulted in Dorothy Parker’s famous quip that the actress "ran the gamut of emotions from A to B."
In 1935, in the title role of the film Alice
Adams, Hepburn earned her second Oscar nomination. By 1938, Hepburn was a bona
fide star, & her foray into comedy with the films Bringing Up Baby & Stage
Door was well-received critically. But audience response to the two films was
tepid, & the good reviews from critics were not enough to rescue her from
an earlier string of flops (The Little Minister, Spitfire, Break of Hearts, Sylvia
Scarlett, A Woman Rebels, Mary of Scotland, Quality Street). With these box office
flops, Hepburn's movie career began to decline.
Some of what has made
Hepburn greatly beloved today — her unconventional, straightforward, anti-Hollywood
attitude — at the time began to turn audiences sour. Outspoken & intellectual
with an acerbic tongue, she defied the era's "blonde bombshell" stereotypes,
preferring to wear pantsuits & disdaining makeup. She also had a famously
difficult relationship with the press, turning down most interviews, which did
not help her exposure to the public. When she did speak with the press, occasionally
she fed them lies to amuse herself. On her first outing with the Hollywood press
corps after the success of A Bill of Divorcement, Hepburn talked with reporters
who had invaded her & her husband's cabin aboard the ship City of Paris. A
reporter asked if they were really married; Hepburn responded, "I don't remember."
Following up, another reporter asked if they had any children; Hepburn's answer:
"Two white & three colored." Hepburn's aversion to media attention
did not thaw until 1973, when she appeared on The Dick Cavett Show for an extended
two-day interview.
She could also be prickly with fans — though she relented as she aged, early in her career, Hepburn often denied requests for autographs, feeling it an invasion of her privacy. However, on movie sets, she was eager to learn the ways of the grip people & befriended many of them. Even so, her refusal to sign autographs & answer personal questions earned her the nickname "Katharine of Arrogance" (an allusion to Catherine of Aragon). Soon, audiences began staying away from her movies.
Hepburn was already reeling
from a devastating series of flops when, in 1938, she (along with Fred Astaire,
Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich, & others) was voted "box office poison"
in a poll taken by motion picture exhibitors. In 1939, Hepburn was going to do
producer David O. Selznick a favor & play the role of Scarlett O'Hara because
he did not yet have anyone else signed for the role. Hepburn insisted that she
did not have the lustful, sexual appeal that the part demanded & told Selznick
that his studio needed to find the woman who did. Hepburn rehearsed the lines
thoroughly in case Selznick could not find anyone else suitable. The night before
the deadline, Selznick finally cast Vivien Leigh. Unbeknownst to Hepburn &
the rest of Hollywood, Vivien Leigh was favored for the role early on, but as
a British actress she was deemed unsuitable for the part. In addition, her affair
with Laurence Olivier while he was in the middle of a divorce made her a controversial
pick. The vast "search for Scarlett" was orchestrated to make it seem
as if no other actress could be found, thus limiting the shock of Vivien Leigh
landing the role. Hepburn was later the maid of honor at Leigh & Olivier's
wedding in 1940. Yearning for a comeback on the stage, Hepburn returned to her
roots on Broadway, appearing in The Philadelphia Story, a play written especially
for her by Philip Barry, a year after Hepburn had starred in the film version
of his play Holiday. She played spoiled socialite Tracy Lord to rave reviews.
With the help of ex-lover Howard Hughes, she purchased the film rights to the
play & sold the rights to MGM, which adapted the play into one of the biggest
hits of 1940. As part of her deal with MGM, Hepburn got to choose the director
— George Cukor & her costars — Cary Grant & James Stewart. She
was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her work opposite Grant
& Stewart. She enhanced Stewart's performance, & in turn he received an
Oscar. Her career was revived almost overnight.
Hepburn made her first appearance
opposite Spencer Tracy in Woman of the Year (1942), directed by George Stevens.
Behind the scenes the pair fell in love, beginning what would become one of the
silver screen's most famous romances, despite Tracy's marriage to another woman.
They became one of Hollywood's most recognizable pairs both on-screen & off. Hepburn, with her agile mind & distinctive New England accent, complemented Tracy's easy working-class machismo. When Joseph Mankiewicz introduced the two, Hepburn, who was wearing special heels that added several inches to her lanky frame, said, "I'm afraid I'm too tall for you, Mr. Tracy." Mankiewicz retorted, "Don't worry, he'll soon cut you down to size." As the Daily Telegraph observed in Hepburn's obituary, "Hepburn & Spencer Tracy were at their most seductive when their verbal fencing was sharpest: it was hard to say whether they delighted more in the battle or in each other."
Most of their films together stress the sparks that can fly when a couple try to find an equable balance of power. The sexy sparring over power & control is almost always resolved in an agreement to share & share alike. They appeared in a total of nine movies together, including Adam's Rib (1949), Pat & Mike (1952), & Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), for which Hepburn won her second Academy Award for Best Actress. The pair carefully hid their affair from the public, using back entrances to studios & hotels & assiduously avoiding the press. Hepburn & Tracy were undeniably a couple for decades, but did not live together regularly until the last few years of Tracy's life. Even then, they maintained separate homes to keep up appearances. Tracy, a Roman Catholic, had been married to the former Louise Treadwell since 1923, & remained so until his death.
Before Tracy, Hepburn had had relationships with several Hollywood directors & personalities, including her agent Leland Hayward. Hepburn also had a famous affair with billionaire aviator Howard Hughes. Tracy, however, seemed to have been her one true love. Hepburn took five years off from her film career after Long Day's Journey Into Night (1962) to care for Tracy while he was in failing health. Out of consideration for Tracy's family, Hepburn did not attend his funeral. She described herself as too heartbroken to ever watch Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, saying it evoked memories of Tracy that were too painful.
Hepburn figures in Martin Scorsese's
2004 biopic of Hughes, The Aviator. However, the movie is a highly fictionalized
portrayal of Hepburn & Hughes' courtship, & many portions of the movie
involving their relationship are inaccurate. Hepburn did not, as depicted in the
film, leave Hughes for Tracy; Hepburn & Hughes had split up years before,
in 1938. Hepburn was portrayed by Cate Blanchett, who won a Best Supporting Actress
Oscar for her performance.
Hepburn is perhaps best remembered for her
role in The African Queen (1951), for which she received her fifth Best Actress
nomination, losing to Vivien Leigh in A Streetcar Named Desire. She played a prim
spinster missionary in Africa who convinces Humphrey Bogart's character, a hard-drinking
riverboat captain, to use his boat to attack a German ship. Filmed mostly on location
in Africa, almost all the cast & crew suffered from malaria & dysentery
— except director John Huston & Bogart, neither of whom ever drank any
water. Hepburn, ever the urologist's daughter, disapproved of the two men's boozing
& piously drank gallons of water each day to spite them. She wound up so sick
with dysentery that, even months after she returned home, the famously vigorous
actress was still ill. The trip & the movie made such an impact on her that
later in life she wrote a book about filming the movie: The Making of The African
Queen: Or, How I Went to Africa With Bogart, Bacall & Huston & Almost
Lost My Mind, which made her a best-selling author at the age of 77.
In an interview in Playboy, Houston spoke of how on their days off, he & Bogart would go hunting for big game, & how one day Hepburn asked to go along. He described her as a "Diana of the Hunt", utterly fearless, & able to shoot with the best of them.
Hepburn on the set of The Lion in Winter.Following The African Queen Hepburn often played spinsters, most notably in her Oscar-nominated performances for Summertime (1955) & The Rainmaker (1956), although at 49 some considered her too old for the role. She also received nominations for her performances in films adapted from stage dramas, namely as Mrs. Venable in Tennessee Williams' Suddenly Last Summer (1959) & as Mary Tyrone in the 1962 version of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night.
Hepburn received her second Best Actress Oscar for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. She always said she believed the award was meant to honor Spencer Tracy, who died shortly after filming was completed. The following year, she won a record-breaking third Oscar for her role as Eleanor of Aquitaine in The Lion in Winter, an award shared that year with Barbra Streisand for her performance in Funny Girl.
Hepburn continued to do filmed stage dramas, including The Madwoman of Chaillot (1969), The Trojan Women (1971) by Euripides, & Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance (1973). In 1973, she first appeared in an original television production of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie.
Two years later, Hepburn received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Special Program (Drama or Comedy) for Love Among the Ruins, which costarred Laurence Olivier & was directed by George Cukor. Hepburn also appeared with John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn, which was essentially The African Queen done as a western. Hepburn won her fourth Oscar for On Golden Pond (1981), opposite Henry Fonda. In 1994, Hepburn gave her final three movie performances — One Christmas, based on a short story by Truman Capote, as Ginny in the remake of Love Affair; & This Can't Be Love, directed by one of her close friends, Anthony Harvey (The Lion in Winter).
On June 29,
2003, Hepburn died of natural causes at Fenwick, the Hepburn family home in Old
Saybrook, Connecticut. She was 96 years old. She was buried in the family plot
in Cedar Hill Cemetery, 453 Fairfield Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut. In honor
of her extensive theater work, the lights of Broadway were dimmed for an hour.
The book Kate Remembered, by A. Scott Berg, was published just 13 days after her death. It documents the friendship between the actress & Berg. The book bills itself as an authorized biography, but that has been called into question by The New York Times). Berg has been criticized for inserting himself into the book too much, including by a columnist for the Hartford Courant. New York Post columnist Liz Smith called the book "self-promoting fakery," & suggested that Hepburn "would have despised it & his betrayal of her friendship" ).
In 2004, in accordance with Hepburn's wishes, her personal effects were put up for auction with Sotheby's in New York. Hepburn had meticulously collected an extraordinary amount of material relating to her career & place in Hollywood over the years, as well as personal items such as a bust of Spencer Tracy she sculpted herself & her own oil paintings. The auction netted several million dollars, which Hepburn willed mostly to her family & close friends, including television journalist Cynthia McFadden.
On September 8 & 9, 2006,
Bryn Mawr College, Hepburn's alma mater, launched the Katharine Houghton Hepburn
Center,dedicated to both the actress & her mother. At the launch celebration,
Lauren Bacall & Blythe Danner were awarded the Katharine Hepburn Medals for
"lives, work & contributions that embody the intelligence, drive &
independence of the four-time-Oscar-winning actress."
Katharine Hepburn lent her name to some liberal social & political causes, particularly family planning. In 1985, she received the Humanist Arts Award of the American Humanist Association, presented by her friend Corliss Lamont.
There is a garden dedicated to her in New York City on East 49th Street & 2nd Avenue. Hepburn lived in a brownstone on East 49th Street. The garden contains 12 stepping stones each inscribed with quotes. One reads "I remember walking as a child, it was not customary to say you were fatigued. It was customary to complete the goal of the expedition."
In 1910, the Hepburn family lived at 133 Hawthorne
St. in Hartford, Connecticut. Eight years later, they were recorded living at
352 Laurel St., also in Hartford. By 1930, Katharine's parents & four younger
siblings had moved to a large eight bedroom house at 201 Bloomfield Avenue in
West Hartford. As of 2006, the house is owned by the University of Hartford.
Margaret "Peg" Perry, Hepburn's last surviving sister, died on February 13, 2006, aged 85). Perry was a librarian in Canton, Connecticut. She was survived by a daughter & three sons, as well as a brother (who is Hepburn's last surviving sibling).
Hepburn's professional legacy is today carried on within her family. Hepburn's niece is actress Katharine Houghton, who appeared as her daughter in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Hepburn's grandniece is actress Schuyler Grant; the two appeared together in the 1988 television movie Laura Lansing Slept Here.
It is sometimes claimed that Audrey Hepburn & Katharine Hepburn were related. This is in fact not true. Katharine & Audrey were of no blood relation whatsoever. It has also been claimed that Audrey chose the last name Hepburn in honor of Katharine when she became an actress; however, the record shows that it was part of her family name for some time before she entered show business.
Katharine
Hepburn is listed as one of the descendants of the Mayflower compact author William
Brewster (her family tree).
Her paternal grandfather, Sewell Hepburn, was
an Episcopal clergyman, but on the subject of religion, she told a Ladies Home
Journal reporter, "I'm an atheist & that's it. I believe there's nothing
we can know except that we should be kind to each other & do what we can for
other people."
Hepburn was Maid of honour at Sir Laurence Olivier's wedding
to Vivien Leigh in 1940.
Her autobiography, Me: Stories of My Life, was published
in 1991.
Peter O'Toole, her co-star in The Lion in Winter, has said in many
interviews, including with host Charlie Rose, that Hepburn was his favorite actor
to work with. He & Hepburn remained great friends until her death. O'Toole
also named his daughter, Kate O'Toole, after Hepburn.
Constance Collier was
a drama coach for many famous actors, including Hepburn during her world tour
performing Shakespeare in the 50's. Upon Collier's death in 1955, Hepburn "inherited"
Collier's secretary Phyllis Wilbourn, who remained with Hepburn as her secretary
for 40 years.
In addition to Hepburn's own four Oscars, actress Cate Blanchett
won an Oscar for her portrayal of Hepburn in The Aviator.
Standing at 5 feet
7 inches (1.71 m), Hepburn was one of the tallest leading ladies of her time.
Several
books published after her death allege that Hepburn was bisexual, & that her
widely publicized relationships with Spencer Tracy, John Ford, & Howard Hughes
were greatly exaggerated. According to these books, Hepburn was romantically involved
with several women including American Express heiress Laura Harding (1902-1994),
Jane Loring, film editor for Dorothy Arzner & other directors, & with
actress Elissa Landi.
Katharine Hepburn remained a close friend with Vivien
Leigh until Leigh's death in 1967.
In his book Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn,
Hollywood biographer William J. Mann claims that Hepburn actually had 3 personalities:
Jimmy, Kath, & Kate. Jimmy was her true self (a boy), Kath was the female
she presented to her family, & Kate was the actress & Hollywood legend
we all knew.
