Katharine Hepburn

You forgot to add Wretched, One-Note CUNT

Studies have shown that female sexuality is much more fluid (I know that's an overused term now) than male sexuality. I say lesbian-leaning bi.

Wow, M @ R1, did Kate tick, tick, tick you off? teeheehee.

I think Kate was asexual.

I've read a lot about Kate & I think she was most likely a Bisexual Woman who leaned Lez. She only dated men who served a purpose for her. She used them for publicity (Howard Hughes, etc), to throw off the scent of her lesbian activities and (early on) for career advancement.

On a sidenote, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. wrote about a fling he had in the early 30s with a starlet Kate Hepburn; immediately following his marriage to Joan Crawford. He said after that after several dates he was seriously smitten with her but didn't think she was being on the level with him. After dropping her off early one night (she claimed she had an early studio call in the morning) he said he waited in his car a few houses down where he wouldn't be visible. Sure enough, he was heartbroken when he saw someone else pick Kate up in a limo less than 30 minutes after he had dropped her off. LOL.

Part bird, part giraffe.

Greatest actress ever

Bump

Scottie Bowers said Hepburn and Tracy were two of his most frequent customers for same-sex escorts.

Kate having lunch with FDR:

Probably one of the most fortunate beings of her era. Born into stature and means, a real New England prominent WASP with looks, talent, money, and presence. In Bringing Up Baby, she photographed beautifully (the angles of her face, and her build easily accommodated the era’s styles, and she moved well on camera). I think she was personally a colder pragmatist, and by some accounts an intellectual snob, and standoffish. She wisely branded herself as a folksy eccentric in her old age, with a popular memoir and an interesting lifestyle in midtown NYC’s Turtle Bay and On the coast of the Long Island sun (swam each day even in winter, dried her clothes on the lawn). Howard Hughes seems like an interesting suitor. A dark and complex figure with a giant ego. That relationship, and Spencer Tracy’s, seem transactional. They each needed something from each other. She was a WASPy type, meager and modest about money and appearance, stealthily competitive and judgmental, very private and guarded with intimate matters.

Long Island Sound, not sun.

Scottie Bowers is full of shit

Another of Kate with FDR:

She didn't deserve those Oscars for those movies..

Ah, good. I was waiting for the Scottie Bowers Is Full of Shit troll.

Didn't she show up to FDR's place uninvited and unannounced? Based upon what I've read about her, if the situation were vice versa, she would have been pissed off by the intrusion. Kind of hypocritical if you ask me.

Maybe Kate was A not gay?? Lots of people are you know. In her book she refuted the labisian rumors. I think she liked dick but not on the regular.

She had marvelous taste. She knew what "clicked" and what didn't.

In the film Desk Set, she is styled pretty masterfully. Her clothes are all amazing colors and textures, like a deep green velvet coat. She wore clothes well and photographed impressively even as she aged.

R19, she lived to be 96, so she certainly had some good genetics.

In my revised Oscar Winners she has awards for Alice Adams and The Lion In Winter

In my revised Oscar Winners she has none.

R22 = Meryl
