I used to know a guy who worked at the Kennedy Center during this time. He said Katharine was the only honoree up until that time who insisted on going backstage to thank the crew. They were all dumbfounded and thrilled.
Katharine Hepburn was really an original of Hollywood - Remember seeing her around midtown Manhattan and her saying: you're gonna miss me when I'm not around and how right she was ~ ♡♡♡
Indeed i think she once said regarding the Flatrion Building people were realizing she wouldn't be around much longer and like that building they would miss her when she was gone
She was such a true friend. When Bogie was dying and Lauren (Betty Bacall) was sad & terrified, Kate would come late at night (With Spence) so they didnt draw attention to themselves, and visit their friends and give support & love.
They went every night. Tracey was asked to do Bogie's eulogy but he couldn't - said he was too clost to him and too upset. Bacall understood and had Huston do it instead.
@@purselmer5931 Yes, they were true friends when she needed them most. I have all Betty's books and I remember that. Extra sad when a person leaves young children behind too.
@@theresabollman8061 have to be so strong to see someone you love slowly fade away. I'd read that Bacall and even Bogie remained in denial until it happened, but Kate and Tracey knew what was coming. So sad.
@@purselmer5931 Yes, I had the heartbreak and the privilege of caring for my wonderful husband of 30 years in at home hospice. He had been such a giving man all of our lives and had asked for very little. When he asked his doctors to ask me to take him home and be with me as his main caretaker I knew said yes immediately. We were together til his last breath. I'm so glad it was the way he wanted it.
her tears are so heartfelt. for years she felt like it was her against the cinema and industry but she finally figured out that the cinema was rooting for her this whole time.
The money doesn’t want to create the same environment anymore. There are standards, or there used to be. High-up interests no longer care to hold those standards tight by investing in them. The entertainment industry has been turned into a flashy circus sideshow, totally devolved, by those with the power to have made and kept it something of great quality instead.
@@dntskdnttll You have your finger on the truth. Many of us bemoan the loss of standards that is indicative of the past two decades in particular. You spoke about a "flashy circus sideshow." I think of the new low as a "trashy freak wrestling match."
@@PolGara0139 People sometimes tell me that we've always had trashy television and to some extent there is some truth in that. But alongside the trashy tv of years ago (any situation comedy from my childhood) there were programs of superior quality. Besides the "chewing gum for the eyes" we also had programs that held up a higher standard. I saw the movie "Lady Bird" yesterday and as the movie ended (credits rolling) I realized I had been moved by a good story and by the principal characters who demonstrated that human beings can be real and lovely in an imperfect world.
I love Kate. I saw her once, live, on stage in A MATTER OF GRAVITY. I will never forget how every single moment of her speech, her gestures, and her characterization filled every inch of that theatre. She is not only the finest actor to win an unprecedented four Best Actor Oscars, but she has given us the craft of acting of how it should be done: just get up and do it!
My favorite Kate line is in Lion in Winter (there are so many brilliant ones). After a magnificent, raging, vulgar row with O’Toole that sends him roaring from the room, she lifts her head from the straw strewn castle floor, pats her hair, and says, “What family doesn’t have it’s up and downs?” 😂
I had the great honor of meeting KH when she toured thru Philadelphia in a play. She was gracious enough to give me an autograph which I treasure! Every time I watch this video, my eyes tear up in seeing how beloved she is by the entire audience. There will never be another legend such as her! Thanks Kate, for uplifting our lives! David B
I fell in love with movies before I could walk.Katheran Hepburn and Ingrid Berman and Maureen O'Hara had me crying and feeling and laughing and in love before five.
Miss Hepburn was great. She surely deserved the Kennedy Center Honors. Her movies were great and she was just overall a great human-being. R.I.P. Miss Hepburn.
This is a beautiful tribute to katherine Hepburn, she was a great actress of her generation and she must have been so overwhelmed by all the love and tributes at this ceremony in Washington d.c. her legacy lives on in her movies and some of her remarkable interviews. RIP katherine 🙏💝🤟😻🙌🥰👍💛🎭🤗
Of corse Angela was good actor i like her and respect! But Katharine was a true legend of Hollywood ! ( Angela was never a real big star like Katharine )
@@happyeverydaysun202 You're completely right. Kate was a movie legend while Angela was a movie star. Movie Legend and Movie Star are different kinds of things. Of course, Hepburn was the bigger star. She was great.
Thank you for posting this. It was so emotional and brought tears to my eyes , but out of all of her master scenes with Tracy why did they chose his legendary heart wrenching final scene in the tribute, a scene from a movie she could never bring herself to watch ever ,stating many times how it was so painful for her to bear, it was heart breaking, watching that pained expression and the tears welling in her eyes with a sorrowful trembling mouth it broke my heart. Such a formidable and incredibly delicate woman, she was so overcome with emotions that she could barely stand. It was obvious after all those years she could never bring herself to move on from his death, it was a living wound deeply set in her heart, and was not to be touched .Maybe they did it thinking she would love it, or maybe they knew how emotional she would get watching it . I love her and respect her more than words can describe, may her soul rest in peace and had the happiness and satisfaction she deserves.
I read the book about her last year called Kate Remembered and one of the things she shared with the author how she could never finish the film Captain Courageous once Tracy’s character dies.
Thank you for uploading! I have this with the original commercials but couldn’t get it to open in my video editor in order to cut them out. Will share on my KH pages!
Received a signed note from her in reply to a card of condolence for the death of her sister the audience had signed at a film festival at Weslyan U. (her sister has provided her copies of 10 movies starring Miss Hepburn). Thoroughly and consistently on the mark, in her portrayals.
When Hollywood and the entertainment world in general had some CLASS! Some true glamour backed by serious character and ability to carry oneself well and be well-spoken. Now it’s been bought out by corporate interest and sheer tacky trash. Performers of real calibre still do exist, but are not given the same spotlight in this field that they once were. Seems logical many will have taken to the stage instead. Sad but true. Bless you for uploading this treasure trove of golden moments in a place and time where quality mattered more than glitter.
My most fav actress and most admierable person in movie history.. woman with class and dignity. one of a kind. ever wore trashy clothes where marly streep easily and also got naked got 4 oscars she not had to do anything.. she got 3or 4 oscars but never attended one.. I even read her autobiography book I fell in love with her more.,I admire her great strength, her straight forewardness, individuality and being stay single till she died well she truly loved spencer tracy she did till she die.. .. I am same way as person may be why I like her so much may she rest in piece I heard berry devids could not stand her cause she got more oscars what a fool
She was a legend in her own time and of my favorite movies are Stagedoor, Rooster Cogburn, Bringing Up Baby Philadelphia Story, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and The African Queen
Adoro el cine. Pero ella siempre sera mi actriz preferida. Su personalidad arrolladora me enseña que fue una luchadora y que supo amar. Que Dios te tenga en su gloria querida C. H
I wish I could have lived like her but whoa I lived my life with a son and married to a police officer for 38 years and now have lost him. I can only live one life at a time so I choose.mine. Maybe in the next life I will be like Kathryn the great.
I absolutely love this woman! She is literally my GREATEST hero, she didn’t take any crap from anybody, especially during a time when women were treated subservient to men, she wouldn’t have any of it and told them what they could go do with themselves, do you have any idea how much courage it took to do that in a time when most women Were totally ignored and treated like garbage? The qualities I admire most in anybody is honesty and integrity, those two words sum up her personality perfectly. She didn’t pull any punches (although I’ll bet she swung a few at sexist directors and actors), she was never phony, never afraid to speak her mind, and lived life on her terms, and to hell with the rest of the world! I absolutely admire and love that characteristic, it’s rare to find in a man, much less a woman of that era. Things are different now, at least a little bit, but back when Kate first started out, it was unheard of. They didn’t know what to do with her because they were so intimidated by her commanding presence and incredible talent. Even though she’s not here in the physical world anymore, in my eyes she will never die, because she has left behind a golden legacy that will live forever in the annals of history! My dearest Kate, although I was never honoured to meet you in person, I feel like I’ve known you personally all my life, because I have watched every single thing you have ever done, and will forever remain in bewildered awe of the incredible talent, strength, courage, tenacity, integrity, and unflinching willpower to live your life the way you wanted, never giving in to the pressure of society. If only we could all be like you, the world would be a much better place. Sending you all my love ❤️❤️❤️
People keep saying it was Tracy who said "Don't worry I'll cut you down to size" It was said by the producer of The Philadelphia Story and Woman Of The Year, Joseph Mankiewicz.
I have got a movie DVD of Katherine Hepburn with John Wayne Richard Jordan Anthony Zerb and Tommy Lee Jones in Rooster Cogburn I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx
@@jimcormney Yes, when I heard that, I lost some respect for Katherine. I truly believe she was envious of Meryl. Both women are/were brilliant. Meryl is the best of the best. No one NOT EVEN Kate Hepburn can touch her.
@@lilian9577 Barbara Walters once asked Kate if she was a tree, what kind would she be? And Kate replied "An Oak". Also, Lilian, be sure to spell Katharine with 2 "A's" -not much bothered Kate but she was not happy when it was misspelled...she'd say, "Only E is at the end, two A's and an E at the end."
❤❤❤❤👋👋👋👋👋 for Kate. Talented, strong, professional, studious, persevering, she did not lose the opportunities and advantages that life gave her (according to her own words) and she did not get lost in “divisms”. A woman ahead of her time, a pioneer of the progressive and feminist movement. Very Intelligent and articulated ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋👋👋👋👋👋
Ironic that Angela read the line about not being able to have it all, i.e. kids. Angela, Glenn and Bacall had them and still had great careers. But it is difficult. On the other hand, it may be that she meant that the man she loved, Tracy, was married and could not divorce so therefore it was her lot to be unmarried and childless.
Even though I have been a mad fan of KH since the 80's, and exchanged some letters with her back then [until she wrote that she had no time for this correspondence], this Kennedy Center segment has always made me a little sad. Her only friend present was Lauren Bacall. She played in one film with Angela Lansbury, which no one talks about, and ... Glenn Close ... ? Cynthia McFadden, who would become the executor of her estate, had only just befriended KH at this taping. No family there, No surviving longtime friends. It makes me think of the anecdote where she was quoted as telling someone she'd made no friends in Hollywood, and Spencer Tracy is quoted as interjecting it's because she's a b*tch.
Tracy did not say he would cut Kate down to size. It was someone with them...I think that it was Garson Kanin. It was reported incorrectly in Anne Edward's biography of Hepburn.
I don't understand why Hepburn never went to any of her wins. And I also found out that she and Bette Davis were at the same public place onetime. I can't recall a year. But she refused to be in a photo shot with Ms. Davis. Bette Davis always said Ms. Hepburn had such great bone structure. I consider Bette Davis our greatest American actress.
I used to know a guy who worked at the Kennedy Center during this time. He said Katharine was the only honoree up until that time who insisted on going backstage to thank the crew. They were all dumbfounded and thrilled.
That's awesome.
I heard that Julia Child was like that too...she loved to visit the cooks in the kitchens of restaurants she ate at.
Just goes to show she didn't think she was better than the & she knew what it was like to work. A class act !
Miss Lula. Always one of the best
Humanity. That’s what having class is about.
Beautiful dress Angela is wearing!
Katherine Hepburn is God's gift to the world! Blessings
can we take a moment and appreciate angela lansberry rocking that incredible ballgown
I thought the same thing. She looked great in that gown.
Katharine Hepburn was really an original of Hollywood -
Remember seeing her around midtown Manhattan and her saying: you're gonna miss me when I'm not around and how right she was ~

It occurred to me that saying "no one like her" really is true in Kate's case. A true original.
A Good actress, in all due respect She was extremely rude while attending a broadway show and I was sitting near! Perhaps She was having a bad day !!

So was Bette Davis. Maybe is a Yankee thing. I like actresses like Olivia DeHavilland, a total class act.
Authenticity always rules. I’m so blessed to be 68 years old. I knew of her and her work. I admired her. How great is that!
And I still believe she is why women were finally able to legally wear long pants

The very best performance by an actress EVER: Katharine in The Lion in Winter.
African Queen ties for me...
Strong, Passionate, Controversial, Confrontational, Aristocratic, Beautiful, Independent, Intelligent...an exceptional human being!!!

I adored Katherine and Spencer Tracey! Their last work together etched in my memory! Well done dear friends, well done!
Bacall looks amazing! 🌟
The emotion in Angela Lansbury's voice at 2:00 speaks volumes of the esteem she held Hepburn in.
Beautiful

She is ABSOLUTELY, GORGEOUS!
that bone structure is just perfect !!
A true legend and inspiration for both women and men 👏❤

This is immense. Lansbury alone. Hepburn, and all her stage work as well!! W O W Happy 2021
There's a reason Peter O'Toole called her the Best of America :)
O'Toole just loved her-his face lit up every time he talked about her.
In my opinion, with that voice, she played herself in every movie
and also he called his daughter Kate
They were great together. Loved Lion in Winter.
Katherine the great! Yes indeed, the greatest!

The word gets bandied about too much, but for Hepburn it’s true: original. No one like her before or since.
That moment in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner always gets me. Spencer Tracy was dying and she knew it was their last film together.

The first scene in Woman Of The Year of Tracy and Hepburn was the sexiest scene ever.
Kate was lovely ❤

On the other hand, it may be that she meant that the man she loved, Tracy, was married and could not divorce so therefore it was her lot to be unmarried and childless.
Katharine Hepburn was way better than the Kardashians. Even in her 80s she had style and wit. I'II bet she still had that wit until her death.
