- The Great Kate peeps behind the scenes of the golden era of Hollywood to discover exactly how and why Katherine Hepburn became one of the most famous actresses in the glamorous world of cinema.
She was an intellectual outsider with a headstrong personality who embodied a completely new charismatic female on screen. Creating an image is nothing new in Hollywood, but she managed to control her own by skilfully playing with the studio system.
Katharine Hepburn managed an unbelievable 60-year career, keeping an outstanding open mind, staying provocative and timeless - something that still fascinates us even today.

I sent her flowers through the florist at Old Saybrook, CT, her hometown when she turned 90 years old and she sent me back a handwritten and signed “Thank You “note which I now have framed and hanging over my desk.
Omg omg no!!! Amazing 😀 She took the time to do this
Bravo!
That is so beautiful!
That's amazing! She was an amazing person..
How lovely.
This this the only documentary that has done her justice. Magnificent job.
Her autobiography was amazing 😊
Agree!
My father, as a joke, always called my sister Katharine Hepburn, and I knew her to be a Hollywood actress, but I never really watched her films or knew too much about her life. I was always more enthralled with Lana Turner; however, I recently saw a documentary of her life on Netflix and I was drawn to her story and her life. The more I saw her throughout the documentary, the more I was drawn to her. She was so enigmatic, smart, and beautiful. I've now seen, in a matter of two days, three of her films, and I gotta tell you, I'm in love with her acting. What a wonderful actress and person. Quite enchanting 🙂
😮 1:52 good soundtrack
I loved her. I worked in a little shop in Englewood NJ in the early 80’s and she came in with her assistant and I just stared at this amazing woman. I remember she bought two pillows and some scents and I wrapped everything nicely and she was so grateful and polite. I called the owner and she had written a check for the purchase and my boss just said, that check will not be deposited. I went home that day just wishing I had her as my grandma. I will always treasure that experience and still to this day, I get so sad knowing that she is no longer around.
oh yes she is, she's with us in spirit forever! Keep the faith!♥♥
Lovely memory thanks for sharing
I came to reply the same thing Brenda Drew had already said.
Named my daughter after her. She was one of a kind, she still dazzles me.
My mother looked like her. My daughter was born on mom's birthday and I named her after "Kate" too. It's amazing how much my daughter is strong like "Kate".
When I was young, she said the most wise thing in an interview - a woman can't have career and also raise children. It impressed me deeply, and I thought a lot about it. I think what she meant was that she understood what children need to grow up to be happy, healthy people - the undivided attention and loving care of someone. And that her career took so much of her time and considerable energy, she thought she wouldn't be able to do a good job. I chose a career and never regretted not raising unhappy, unhealthy people.
Today actresses have proven that you can do both, not always successfully, but sometimes successfully! Oscar winning Meryl Streep has raised four children successfully, one an actress as well as a long term marriage without a hint of scandal! Annette Bening is another one with a long term marriage with four kids, can be done!
what you shared was very personal either way one needs to do what makes one strong & happy with o es life ... the 2nd reply was well written well .thanks to u both
Katharine Hepburn once stated that after her beloved older brother died accidentally i.e. not a suicide, she didn't have children because she had to help raise the other four younger siblings since she was now the oldest! My feeling is that she regreted not having a child with Spencer because once her friend Cynthia McFadden who got married at Fenwich had a baby, they named him Spencer after Spencer Tracy who had two children from his marriage to Louise.
Stevie Nicks said pretty much the same thing. Even in this day and age women still have to choose between a successful career and raising children, you never hear a man with that problem, he’ll just get a wife to do it. Women who claim to “have it all”…maybe ask their kids a couple of years from now. And women who tried to delegate the duties to a “house husband” always ended up with an insecure, unfulfilled man cheating on them or competing with them, to prove their manhood. Gender defined roles, it seems, will never completely go away, women will always be on the losing side because their presence is so crucial in a child’s development. Why do psychoanalysts always ask “Now, tell me about your mother?”
@@brendadrew834 I assure you, Brenda, that Tracy and Hepburn did nothing that could result in having a child.
What a lovely tribute this was. Miss Hepburn was the epitome of "I'll do it my way" and loved it....or so it appears. Thank you for this lovely trip down memory lane.
MORE! MORE! MORE!!! I could watch her for the rest of my LIFE!!
Me, too!
Me as well. And that is just what I am doing. With absolute joy!
She was so ahead of her time and just timeless...and gave us beautiful artistry..I don't know how, but she made everyone look and step up to her...GOAT...
amusingly well said thank u. I agree !! °•~\€£¥☆••}♡◇《¡》
I’ve had very few heroes in my lifetime, but Katherine Hepburn is one of them.
She embodies the energetic, uncompromising, creative, vulnerable and courageous life, without qualification.
A terrific line from Frank Sinatra‘s My Way applies to Kate: “I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way.”
I can’t wait to do a movie review in the next month or so to one of my favorite movies of all time: Philadelphia Story. My God, she is simply a dynamo in that, confident and witty and yet vulnerable.
Her home was in old Saybrook
You have very low standards ... and perhaps morals as well.
Katharine Hepburn reinforced who I was as a child and who I am today... God bless Katharine Hepburn 💚
There are times when truly unique and special people pass away, that the world suffers a tremendous loss. The world is less due to her absence, but continues to be enriched by her magnificent legacy. We loved you well Ms. Hepburn…
😮 1:56 Kate the great 😅
Miss Hepburn was and always will be, my favorite Actress. It’s so sad when they depart 💕🙏🙏
I have only watched seven minutes of this and I love it already. The introduction was clever and fun to watch. Her home was in Hartford and that's where "Listen To The Song Of Life" is carved into a fireplace. The house in Fenwick was the family's summer home. She did adopt her brother's birth date, except for the year. She told people she was born in 1909 and she was actually born in 1907. I just finished watching and I think this is the best documentary I have seen on Katharine Hepburn in the 40 years I have been a fan of hers.
Love that Lady. A real Icon....beautiful inside & out! Really a true Movie Star.
I was blessed enough to meet Catherine outside of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital I don’t know it was when she had the shakes but I don’t know her age she was so sweet to talk to me for five full minutes 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
She suffered from tremors. My neurologist diagnosed me with the same disease about 15 years ago. There is medication now and I did take it for years until I started falling. I'll never forget the Dr. telling me I was going to be just like Katharine Hepburn. I hate shaking.
Maureen: *Katharine*
Phenomenal individual. Of all the Hollywood greats, she left an indelible imprint on my upbringing; not only beautiful, but hard-headed, too - forthright, yet unconditionally a one-off...thank you for all you gave...
Katherine Hepburn had the beauty , intelligence , talent , and the backbone . There will never be another actress like her . One of my most favorites I'd say is Bringing Up Baby , the one with the leapard . She knew how to use that charisma on Cary Grant ... great 😃👍 film .
This is a great documentary. Thanks for letting me watch this for free.
I never met Kate but did meet her bestie Lauren Bacall in 1997 and literally the one time in my life I wasn't able to get words out of my mouth. I can only imagine how electric Kate was
I do not think Lauren Bacall was best friends with Hepburn ... they knew one another as Bacall had been abroad with her husband when he was making The African Queen with Hepburn ... her best friend was a Laura Harding ... they had been pals since the early 1930s.
I simply loved her as an actress and a woman. ❤
Best documentary I have seen of Ms Hepburn. Well done -- Thank you for sharing.
Katherine Hepburn was not only just a wonderful actress she was beautiful inside and out. No one can’t reach that plateau she was truly an icon.💫✨
Paul Caron,
Please spell her name right. She detested that misspelling.
@@pepalermo okay got it ✅
@@paulcaron400 Katharine 😅🎉
She was a closet lesbian, butch...rude and difficult with other actors, Spencer Tracy was also a closet case, their marriage was a sham as was most of all Hollywood was in those days
@@bobbob-ym8qs Being rude and difficult to bad guys seems fine to me. At least she was not mean to appropriate actors. Just treacherous producers directors and stupid actors, unlike Bette who became mean to nearly everyone. Shame on BD !
I have read several biographies of Kate. My sister named her daughter Katherine/Kate, for our mother’s Aunt Kate, but also for Kate Hepburn, my whole family loved Ms. Hepburn. When she stood up and abruptly left Dick Cavett’s interview, now that was pure Kate!!❤
sounds very rude and entitled.
I am good friends with one of katherine’s nieces and that family is incredibly fascinating. I have heard a lot of these stories first hand and it’s cool to see this documentary!
*Katherine's nieces *firsthand
*Katharine's nieces* / *firsthand*
Interesting. I too know a niece from the Houghton side of the family. Watching this is like watching a story of the "Ms.'s" personality. They even look similar except the Ms. has dark hair. The interaction between Ms. Hepburn and the artist defines my friend's personality to a T.
Inner self and spiritual. I'm a taurus women as well. We are so vulnerable in the world but so tough. ☺ we have no choice but to male something big of ourselves. We love life and care for people. Thank you katherine for inspiration😄
Fabulous job here! If this fellow Yankee New Englander and former retired NYC fashion illustrator has an addiction it's to the Golden Age of Hollywood that inspired my personal career! Named my firstborn daughter after her also a redhead and after my late beloved mother, Katharine being her middle name, the oldest of three girls! Have most of the books written about her and the cookbook with her favorite recipes! She never really believed in an afterlife, but I bet she was surprised to find that there is one on the "Other Side", as I've seen and heard many signs from the "Other Side",since I'm psychic as well. Rest in peace? Bet she is with Spencer and the rest of her family and friends and fans! Keep the faith, no matter what your personal religious beliefs may be!! Thank you~♥♥🙏🙏
Very interesting, I learned more about her even though I knew quite a lot about Katherine Hepburn. Thank you for sharing a legend through time.
What an extraordinary woman Katharine Hepburn was everything she was supposed to be amazing ..not suffering fools ..behaving badly according to some…but overall someone one could never forget..Katharine the great..an all round not to be messed with women…thankyou so much for this documentary…just to be reminded is so wonderful.
Outstanding!!! Thank you so very much!!!
This was a great biography of an awesome woman. Well done!
She acted an ugly woman becoming very rich and many men wanted to marry her ..can you remember the name of this film cuz I forgot it ?
I truly love this woman.
She's a true bad ass Goddess of Hollywood.
I thoroughly enjoyed viewing a traveling exhibit of Katharine Hepburn costumes through her career
1:16:10
I often bought outfits because they reminded me of Katherine Hepburn’s style.
Great documentary!
Timeless Kate :) I'm surprised they left out the Howard Hughes years and her flying
Briefly mentioned Hepburn and H. Hughes @35:00
.... The nephew is delightful, very articulate...
She was an awesome actress
His home is a mess lol
@@TrangPakbaby I couldn’t figure out what the HELL he was doing filming in the middle of that mess!
@@tootscarlson eating corn...
Love our Kathrine! She was an remarkable woman! Thank you Katherine for giving us your best!
*Katharine*
Very well done! Thank you.
I love that Anthony Hopkins used her voice for Hannibal Lecter.
This has given me courage. She was my hero along with May west.
She certainly wasn't like anyone else. Far too many sheep these days. A woman after my own heart. Different, authentic,sassy. Hats off to this woman who didn't like rules....neither do I.
Sheep people who call other people sheep are usually the biggest copy and paste trend word sheep themselves
No one mentions THE CORN IS GREEN 1979. It was fantastic.
I remember that!!!
Such a fabulous woman and Documentary. I have to say the number of commercials during the show really took away from the subject.
Drag the bar to the end, then hit the repeat circular arrow ;)
@@RustyDice Really!? I will try that. Thanks
@@StiltFactory it doesn't always, always work - but most times.
@@RustyDice thank you it worked for me!
What makes it hard for me is every time that costumer lady comes on and says absolutely nothing interesting.
Lovely. Brilliant. Thank you.
Kate winning 5 oscars will never be matched. Speaks volumes about her. People today don’t know what acting is with the crap we have today!!
4 Oscars.
I don't know. Francis McDermott is at Kate's heels with 3 Oscars.
Old man yells at cloud
My hero. She broke the mould.❤
Always love Kate!❤
This documentary is excellent, but the constant barrage of ads make it nearly impossible to watch!
1:15:07 love her sense of humour.. One and only Katharine Hepburn..
Why do people assume that a confident woman with a free spirit is bisexual or homosexual?
What she says about timing is true. Most everything in anyone's life is all about LUCK & TIMING. Everything.
Wow. What a woman ❤❤❤
I love Katherine Hepburn,she was one cool lady,she didn't care what people thought of her ways,she was a strong minded person,good on her ,in the days women should be lady's she died the opposite GOOD on you girl ,you wore trousers when it was in heard of for women to be seen in those days,rest in peace katherine,God bless you,you may be gone but your not forgotten amen😘💖🌈🌸👌🌼🌹😘🌈
*should be ladies *unheard of *you're not forgotten.
Oh how I love this human!!!!
Outstanding!!
Love your intro art work. Very unique. Oh, and the bio on Miss Hepburn was good too.
This opened my eyes to who she was what a fantastic woman, love her
Also the beautiful Carole Lombard who wore trousers before Hepburn.
I love her as well!
Thank u guys!!! What a wonderful treat!!!
Amazing how many admirers misspell her name. Katharine
Love her! A real kindred spirit. A woman like myself, and I didnt know her story that well till recently. Hepburn....dreamy.
Katherine Hepburn wasn't a great actress, but she was a great personality. She shone in her best roles by allowing us to see aspects of her indomitable self.
i thought she was an amazing actress with her best role being Spencer Tracy's lover - what a performance.
I remember watching a documentary in which she said something that really resonated with me. It was something about psychology and looking inward and how ultimately it was a dead end. Like most people who accomplished anything noteworthy on this planet, she was born with a surplus of energy that most of us are not allotted, but it makes sense. The movers and the shakers of this world don’t waste their time overthinking & reflecting, they’re too busy doing & working. Think of the Einsteins, the Carnegies, the Kennedys, the Taylor Swifts and the Elon Musks of this world - not the kind of personalities you’d find at a therapist’s office, moping, crying and complaining. Like all of you reading this, I’m going into the ground as fertilizer only, my presence will not change this planet or society one bit, but her saying this somehow inspires me to DO more and reflect less, because, like she insinuated, self reflection paired with no action leads absolutely nowhere.
I will appreciate her so much more now..❤
Dick Cavett did two interviews that are outstanding in my mind --- the one referenced here with Hepburn and his 1971 Bette Davis interview. He did many great interviews, but these two are my favorites as lover of early to mid 20th century film.
Incredible woman. She loved her parents a great deal. But when it came to her brothers accident. They were wrong to not discuss it amongst their children. That's another trauma on top of the original trauma. After all she was the one that found him. Grant it that's how it was back thn. She had to figure a way how to come to terms wth that nd continue on wth life. That's alot of hard work nd bravery. I loved her nd Spencer tracy together. She was quite a woman. 🌷

Dick Cavet - talk master. Never heard it put that way. Perfect
Thank you so much for this video. She is my hero and I named the main character in my novel after her.
I admired her!
Katherine Hepburn was blessed with brains, beauty and brawn! And, so was my daughter!! : )
I loved David Cavet and his show1
She had, as my mother would say, MOXIE!!
And as some of us modern day Australia’s would colloquially say balls
Watching from Philippines
IMHO Katharine Hepburn is the greatest American actress that ever lived.
THE LEGENDS ARE ALL GONE THE FAME oF HOLLYWOOD IS NO MORE SADLY however the era was a amusing event in history just as ALL HAS BECOME in the age of COVID ; ( 202104/09
The great, late Kate! A great actress! I never knew Dick Cavett was an actor?
Thank you so much for this presentation. Sincerely, Sentebey
I like how her nephew has the same sassyness 😂
Now I am smart enough to know anyone wearing a RED sweater around their neck on monochrome colours wants to be noticed. I KNOW the high collars are about jaw lines on screen. Was the Tracy stuff just for legend? Were the carrying of logs about "Look a me?" WHATEVER. Bloody good work ..so Hepburn, I adore you.
actually, her high collars had nothing to do with her jaw line on screen - her neck was her personal least favorite thing about herself, she likened her neck to that of a chickens - it is for that reason she wore high collars.
@@ThePracticalDog You're right. She showed her long, taut, lovely neck when young, but understandably, it changed. I saw in some interview she was asked to comment on "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" as some stills were shown. Just say something about it. Kate: "I really covered my neck in that one!"
Mundy should go into public speaking, he is great at storytelling
I don't like him. He likes the word whore too much. Closet pig.
Several decades ago, I found some elegant wide legged gabardine pants that Were Kate Hepburn! They were gone before i could buy them for my own. How tragic!
"Tragic" might be a bit of an overstatement but I know what you mean.
I just found out that Katherine Hepburn is my distant cousin. I know people won't believe me but I have the paperwork for it to prove it if anyone cares. I just thought it was cool because I've always been interested in acting and have signed up last year for classes to do so and am signed to a small company where I live. Also found out Robert Frost is a cousin also and I myself have always written my own poetry...
Bizarre! The commentators can't even pronounce well-known terms properly: "Greeeta Garbo" (Greta), "Bryn Moore (!)" (Bryn Mawr), "Hooten" (Houghton), "An-tee-OH-pee" (Antiope)! Wasn't there a producer around to check this stuff? Hard to take the commentators seriously.
@@adamnoman4658 Hi Adam, I have no admiration for Hepburn's leftist politics, frankly somewhat hypocritical in light her DAR background (father's family, who also ran a school for girls) and her mother's Quaker roots (The Garlinghouse family was Quaker and Bryn Mawr was founded by white, Christian, Quaker men.) Quakers led the way in women's education, woman suffrage and the abolishment of slavery, all causes that liberals and leftists fought against for 100 years. Susan Anthony, Anna Howard Shaw and Alice Paul were all Christians, Quakers and Republicans. M. Carey Thomas was raised Quaker but turned very leftist as she approached middle age. According to her biographer (Shapiro), Thomas abused her girlfriends, spent all their money and cheated on them. She did, however, set a high bar for the curriculum -- when she was young (and after her father and uncle had paid for her entire education and were on the founding board of Bryn Mawr. But liberals always take advantage of conservative values and accomplishments, hiding behind the veil of conservative institutions, including taking over Christian schools -- Harvard, Cornell, and many others founded to train clergy. Claiming credit for Civil Rights is another specialty, not knowing that Civil Rights actually were introduced in the EIGHTEEN sixties, not the nineteen sixties -- the 13th & 14th Amendements (authored by Bingham of Ohio), Six Civil Rights Acts of the 1870s and 1880s including abolishing the Democrat Ku Klux Klan -- all laws enacted by Republicans and fought against by Democrats well through the 1960s and still going on today. I love the "big switch" argument, except it has absolutely no documentable, historical legitimacy. Now, instead of being special protections for the descendants of freed slaves, liberals treat "civil rights" as being special treatment for everybody EXCEPT citizens descended from freed slaves -- feminists, transgenders, immigrants who walked over the border yesterday. Nobody would attend any college if their liberal values were not veiled with their historical, Christian roots. Who would attend "Bill Clinton College" or "Prostitution University without the veil of Christian, conservative legitimacy? Anyway, it's all revolting. So, I wholly get your point. My "heros" in terms of life values lie elsewhere. Nor do they make documentaries about Arabella Mansfield, Charlotte Ray, Rebecca Cole, Edward Cox, Euphemia Haynes, Mary Newson, Dudley Woodard, Blanch Bruce, Rebecca Cole. They don't know who these people are and don't care. Perhaps you do. Anyway, it is a poor documentary to say the least and it is worth pointing that out, starting with the poor narration: It is annoying and just an example of the sheap nature of the thing -- fake scenes, mispronounced words, none of the real background. I suppose they thoughtlessly hired some airhead wanna-be actress to record the narrative, and thought we would buy it. Not.
To many talking heads stealing screen time talking about her and not enough Katherine. thumbs down
*Too many
Katharine Hepburn took her deceased brother's birthday of November but took two years OFF of her age...
I ALWAYS WANTED to meet KATE .... SHE WAS MY CELEBRITY HERO... (SIGH)
I’m sorry, I will be the one voice in the wilderness here. This as a 67 year old woman who grew up very much a fan of nostalgic Hollywood and Katherine Hepburn. Until I realized what a selfish woman she was. Morally she was a horrible, entitled terrible woman. That she had the audacity to call Spencer Tracey’s widow to ask her if they could be friends, the long suffering wife who raised his children, one who was disabled, without him because he abandoned them is the height of audacity. Then she “couldn’t believe it.” I never knew she did that. I thought Tracey’s wife’s reply, “You see, I always thought you were a rumor.” Was BRILLIANT. What a class act. I have far more respect for Spencer Tracey’s wife than I do Katherine Hepburn.
Very interesting and well done.
Outstanding!
I’m so glad I came across this…again. I viewed the original broadcast of that episode of “ Dick Cavett”. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸
One of my favorite definitions of "THE American Woman"
I think Kate Hepburn was a really good role model for many young women in our country. Even the ones who married. We begin to look as marriage as a partnership. Not a man ruling our lives completely. Woman were going on to school after high school. Then either working in a profession outside the house full time or being an at home woman part time and working professionally pastime after having children. Women now have equal rights…
She most likely paid for it.. knowing how she thought , I would have paid for it if I was wealthy enough.. That’s how she would compromise so these workers would not be paid or fired…
“Katy Lies
You could see it in her eyes
But imagine my surprise when I saw you “

How quickly they forget
Really enjoyed this! It was excellent!
Do you have one on Bette Davis? ☺️
Now that was a broad & I say that with much respect ✊🏻
This was wonderful to watch thank you for uploading it! They just don't make women like her any longer it's a shame.
I will never ever understand why some people want to say she and especially Tracey were gay. It's so evident they were into each other honestly. Just because she wore pants before they became stylish is no reason at all. She had love affairs with several leading men and hers with Howard Hughes was well known. Plus she almost married him. People are obsessed with who is or isn't gay anymore. These two were most certainly straight. Give it up😐
Liz Smith, the late gossip columnist who knew Hepburn, confirmed that she was a lesbian.
In the final analysis...words said by Spencer in GWCTD, it really isn't our business. I think she was perhaps wanting to be a man , and therefore dressed like one. Acted like one in some roles. She just didn't care what people thought of her that way. I saw her in a Ckive James interview...there she was in slacks, and these unattractive almost boots on. For some reason she hid her neck,was extremely sensitive about how her neck looked, but openly admitted in that interview and others her obvious need to be masculine. In several interviews she blanatly states she wanted desperately to be a boy as a child, and also wanted to be a man. The interviewer hears the implications of what she's saying, but no interviewer Ever asked well then are you gay? It would have been the follow up question, but none Ever asked it. It shows the tremendous respect everyone felt for her. So was she gay? Perhaps. Obviously. Maybe. I don't think sex was that important to her...just a gut feeling I get. I do believe she did love Spencer, and he her.
Far from every somewhat (or even very) masculine woman is a lesbian, so maybe she wasn’t. She might have been though. What’s sad is that either way, she couldn’t win. If she was gay, she never got to be herself 100% + she was being judged for the “affair” the studio concocted for years on end. If she was straight, she was unfortunate enough to fall for a married man and got judged for acting on it far more harshly than he did. Self-righteous Christians are still slinging mud at her in this very comment section (with the fervour of someone who got cheated on or is cheating), so imagine how bad it was back then. For KH to manage to still live on her terms and accomplish so much anyway is quite remarkable. Basically, she couldn’t win, except she did 😊
Katharine may have chosen to have sex with both genders. Regardless, her decisions are between her and God.
It seems oh, so very important to you to "establish" she and Tracey were 100% straight, though. You're conjecturing about them the same as those who wonder otherwise. None of us knew her. Your belief isn't more definitive because you're more comfortable with it.
What's so hard to understand about this interest? If your favorite star was from your hometown, you'd feel an added attachment, for instance.
People conjecture because it's inspiring to think someone you admire might have that in common with you. Simple as.
You seemingly believe there's something wrong with being thought gay or bi, so that's solely your problem.
There are people KH knew, who were actually friends and colleagues - meaning knew her much better than either of us - who believe or understand or say they were outright *told* by KH that she was involved with women too. Odds are they know better than us, who just watch her wonderful movies.
Everybody is just trying to get through life, with some enjoyment and sanity. Lighten up.
Fine actress and quite a character. Given to rudeness and quite bad manners at times which was surprising until you realize that she never pretended to be a great lady. As a matter of fact, she wasn't a lady at all.
Side note: there's something very sexy about men's theater makeup in the 30's
If she studied philosophy then this explains her dialectic quality personal communications and self confidence verbally.
