- Historian Amy Henderson discusses Katherine Hepburn's Oscars and portrait by Everett Raymond Kinstler.
In 2009, the National Portrait Gallery acquired Hepburns four Oscar statuettes as a gift from the Katharine Hepburn estate. They are now on view in the Twentieth-Century Americans gallery on the museums third floor, next to a 1982 portrait of Hepburn by artist Everett Raymond Kinstler, which she termed her favorite.
Hepburn won Best Actress Academy Awards for "Morning Glory," 1933; "Guess Whos Coming to Dinner," 1967; "The Lion in Winter," 1968; and "On Golden Pond, 1981."
Learn more about Hepburn by visiting the online exhibition for "KATE: A Centennial Celebration. ( npg.si.edu/exhi... ) This exhibition was on view at the National Portrait Gallery from November 2, 2007, to September 28, 2008.
No one has four Oscars for a LEADING performance except Katharine Hepburn.
ICONIC!
Katharine Hepburn was not just a great movie star, she was also a great role model for people. She was intelligent, strong willed, funny, independent, kind, and never afraid to do anything. I can think of no one who had a more fascinating life. The day this was uploaded to RUclips (May 12, 2010) would have been her 97th birthday.
It would be great if she had an oscar for Adam's Rib
I have yet to see Morning Glory, but I believe she was very good in On Golden Pond and she NO Doubt deserved it for Lion in Winter. However Guess Whose Coming to Dinner should have gone to Spencer. Whether or not he had died. I think it would have been world changing if he had gotten it and she had accepted it
orhugs You realize, of course, that Hepburn was an ACTRESS and Tracy was an ACTOR...
All the films are great except "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" which I found tedious. Her performance in that one was strained. Morning Glory and On Golden Pond are great movie. The Lion in Winter is a fabulous movie. I'd love a print of that painting!!

GWCTD was MONUMENTAL in its time, most especially for its modern and progressive depiction of race relations❗️
Kate was such a magnificent woman. I had seen all of her movies and really idolized her since I was a very young kid, and was so lucky to meet her when my mother and I waited outside of the NY stage door where she had performed in The West Side Waltz, when I was 18 years old. She assumed my mother was the fan, but I burst into tears -and she spent 15 minutes talking with us (in the SNOW) before she rode away with her driver, who had been waiting. She was just as lovely as you would hope she would be.
Now, Francis Mcdorman has 3 best actress Oscars. Will she win a 4th?
she donated them originally to the Guiness Book of Records Museum- the first 3, and the 4th was loaned to a friend in the hospital with cancer- when he died, his widow kept it...that was what was in her autobiographer 'ME'
