Dick was the best. I admire how he would stop and listen rather than constantly interrupt.

[@paul8926]

I know, many current talk show hosts interrupt all the time.

[@easports69534]

Her personality was full of energy and inspiring wit. She was 66 years old in this interview. She would live 30 more years after this and would die in June, 2003 at 96 years old. A very inspiring woman.

[@josefkonderla8947]

Smoking found it hard to quit Katharine Hepburn.

[@richardlacey4923]

Lmfao..exactly!

[@hawktchr8]

Absolutely❤

[@roganchapman5700]

6 - 7 hours of tennis is crazy but not surprising to hear when coming from this profoundly driven person.

[@Dancestar1981]

Actually as someone who is Neurodiverse I understand it this is hyperfocus

[@Nosjjddjjd]

@@Dancestar1981 Exactly. Hepburn so obviously is some kind of neurodivergent.

[@kevinp8108]

I love her Mid-Atlantic accent. Mixed between a British and an American accent.

[@dazzaMusic]

That accent was one of a kind

[@rollomaughfling380]

Really? The Trans-Atlantic accent was literally "the standard accent" taught at finishing schools, and acting/broadcasting classes for over half a century. It was everywhere.

[@Cloud-xw8nk]

@@rollomaughfling380 But no one sounded like Katharine Hepburn. She definitely had a unique inflection.

[@Dancestar1981]

It’s the Transatlantic cultured accent from the Golden Era of Hollywood. But they don’t teach it anymore

[@Dancestar1981]

@@Cloud-xw8nk that’s the thing about the Transatlantic accent when you learn it everyone’s take on it is unique

[@Dancestar1981]

And I understand this as I’m trying to learn the basics for an upcoming audition I have

[@demi12342002]

All the greats are gone!! So glad I have all of these classic movies of the 30s & 40s on dvd!

[@sinlesscondemned]

It's my dream to collect all the classic movies. I hope one day I have my own library.

[@callmej5337]

She's so unique and inspiring

[@heartheart5543]

Wow, she had a strong will. Thank you for sharing this interview

[@keepthehoperunning5060]

i love how she sits.

[@TheBoss-jf6de]

She was extraordinary.

[@ryohn5468]

I'm reading her autobiography. Very fascinating life. Sadly her older brother died an accidental hanging as a child.

[@Dancestar1981]

It’s so sad I have her autobiography in audible form

[@mash0wnt]

What a fantastic lady

[@stephanieoregan]

Gosh she was amazing!

[@chowchichang2922]

She is fascinating !

[@marksc1929]

...she really seemed like a classy lady ....evenkilled.....thx for sharing"

[@markkavanagh7377]

Some says Audrey, I says Katherine.

[@ann_bella]

Agree

[@deborahevans1052]

Two different people

[@royalwedding777]

Why does he insist on interrupting her? It's Katharine Hepburn...let her talk...good grief...

[@bigran_outbound2262]

Dope

[@Gannooch]

I have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like all the other Dick Cavett interviews

[@Gannooch]

have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where Dick Cavett interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? People want to see them.

[@Gannooch]

[@giacdeg]

I was 5 whole years old.

[@Losrandir]

I don't mean to, but it's so blatantly obvious. Look at their positionings. The body language. Kate asserts dominance starting with that chair! Dick Cavett crosses legs in - submit. He's met his superior! Nothing to criticize here though

[@scotnick59]

I think the "stupidest" performance Kate ever gave was in SPITFIRE

[@hoobananaz]

Lol, even SHE hated Spitfire!😂

[@emperorpalpatine783]

why does she mostly have the same leg up and the other one down in interviews?.

[@priyac7054]

What a God

[@flaggerify]

Before the damn parkinsons.

[@NJCUJan]

She had a tremor.

[@kathrynoneill5862]

I love her but her sitting like that annoys me.

[@frozenwarning]

Me too, it 's so rude. And if you see the full interview she makes such a fuss about how she wants to put her feet up on the table.

[@Toniann8-20]

Same

[@ilovebirds5000]

I think it was due to her tremor - sitting like that might've helped it

[@Someonesaidthis]

She didn’t care what people thought, i love that about her.. ❤

[@aliegan2109]

She gave no shits and you can tell
