In'07 Katharina Houghton Hepburn was born in Hartford, Connecticut to a mother who was a feminist as well as suffragist and a father who was a doctor leading the way in STD prevention. Katharine Hepburn is considered the best actress in the world by many and while she many longer be with us today, she is still loved.
Her parents were free spirits and because of this Katharine as well as her 5 siblings were able to enjoy the freedom to be themselves while growing up. This of course was very helpful for developing her acting abilities at a young age. However childhood went by quickly and before she knew it, she was attending Bryn Mawr College where she met Ludlow Smith and married him after gradation.
Unfortunately as most things are, her marriage ended in'34 by divorce. However, it is the experiences in life that made Katharine who she was. During attendance at Bryn Mawr, she also took an active role in the performing arts and even managed to appear in several Maryland productions. Shortly after graduation she moved in to the Broadway scene with her first appearance being in the musical The Big Pond.
It would not be until'32 that Katharine Hepburn would receive her first real break in the musical The Warrior's Husband. Her performance was seen by a number of big names which ultimately led to her first screen test which landed her a role in A Bill of Divorcement which was released later that year. The following year she would receive her first Academy Award for her role in Morning Glory (a movie that is still available today at Netflex dvd rentals).
Hepburn returned to New York in'33 where she appeared in the musical The Lake. This show was a flop both according to the critics as well as the audiences. It would not be until'35 that Katharine would finally find her way back into films, but was unable to land any good gigs for a while.
All that changed in'38 with the film The Philadelphia Story which she turned into a musical. She would continue on working between Hollywood and Broadway for most of her life and receive Academy Awards one right after another. She also won the Lifetime Achievement Award as well. Her last film was a guest appearance in'94 and on June 29th of 2003, Katharine Hepburn would pass a way having lived to be 96 years old. - 31887
