KATHARINE HEPBURN

With a characteristic gusto and candour, Katharine Hepburn reflects on her childhood and youthful misadventures. She tells us about the ups and downs of her career, her early experience in the theatre and her rise to stardom. She describes her warm and sometimes stormy relationships with David Lean, George Cukor, Howard Hughes, Leland Hayward, Cary Grant and Louis B. Mayer, among others. And in a book that is pervaded with love - love of parents, love of family, being loved and loving - she tells us about the love of her life: Spencer Tracy.
