For seven decades Katharine Hepburn played a leading role in the popular culture of the twentieth century – reigning as an admired actress, a beloved movie star, and a treasured icon of the modern American woman. She also remained one of the most private of all public figures of her time. In 1983, she opened her door to A Scott Berg, a biographer, who recorded her stories, memories, and reflections on life. This remarkable book is the collection of these.
