5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful depiction of the life of Katharine Hepburn, December 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Biography - Katharine Hepburn [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great movie that provides a look at the life of a remarkable actress. This film is packed with clips from almost all of Katharine Hepburn's movies, interviews with family, co-stars, and Hepburn herself. I enjoyed hearing all of the stories about the movies and watching the clips. This is a must-see for any Katharine Hepburn fan.

Very good synopsis of Kathrine Hepburn's life and career, but is not updated to her death in June of 2003. The DVD is a bit short, but still informing.
