Katharine Hepburn: Glamorous? Beautiful? Sophisticated? Great actress? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Writer? NO.
I know one reviewer inserted a bunch of silly quotes from the book. I'm just going to put in one: "Oh, I meant to tell you. I was standing on my head the other day and I got to thinking how probably unusual it is for someone of my age to do this." I think she spent too much time standing on her head - it made her a little dizzy, or should I say ditzy.
No, I don't mean that. But that is the tone of the whole book, a chatty conversational style, whether she's talking about having dinner w/someone or the tragic death of her brother. She also rambles a lot, jumping to a different topic in the middle of a story.
But all this chattiness and rambling also made her seem more down to earth than I had thought. But best to go elsewhere if you really want to know the story of her life.

Can't wait for your review! Did you read Kate: The Life of Katharine Hepburn by Charles Higham? I would recommend it.

I would be interested to read it, after just scratching the surface here. She's very light & conversational, no matter the topic. It borders on silliness at times.
