Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn is another classic film actress who starred in many of the great films from Hollywood in the last 100 years and with a lot of the great male actors of that time period. Her career goes in two stages though. After the first, she was considered box office poison and was only help from Howard Hughes that she was able to acquire the role of a lifetime which was in "The Philadelphia Story" where she shot back into the limelight. I watched the "Little Women" that she starred in and she is trying so hard in that movie that she's just over-acting. But compare that to her turn in "The African Queen" where her role is so understated where she is winning Humprey Bogart over to her side by simply, quietly and sweetly asking him questions. Simply another classy gal.

Movies I see her in: Little Women; Holiday; The Philadelphia Story; The African Queen; Guess Who's Coming To Dinner; Rooster Cogburn and the Lady;
