One of the silver screen’s most unique and enduring personalities, onscreen and off, Katharine Hepburn’s career as a leading lady spanned seven decades, over fifty quality films (running the gamut from screwball comedies and romances to high drama), a record twelve Oscar nominations and four gold statuettes. She formed memorable screen partnerships with the likes of Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy and director George Cukor but outlasted all of them and excelled just as easily on her own. One of the first stars to take control of her career while still working within the confines of the studio system, Hepburn’s career suffered its share of ups and downs, but Hollywood learned never to write her off.
