Book Description
Katharine Hepburn: A Stylish Life, brimful of photographs, anecdotes, and on-screen memories, follows Hepburn's amazing seven-decade film and stage career. From early dramas such as Little Women and Stage Door to Philadelphia Story and comedy classics such as Bringing Up Baby and Holiday to later triumphs in A Lion in Winter and On Golden Pond, Hepburn exerted firm control over her career and image.

In these pages, Hepburn also emerges as a woman who ended up defining her time by being ahead of it. Married young and divorced after five years, she was courted by some of the leading men of her day, including famed agent Leland Hayward and millionaire Howard Hughes. But it was on the set of Woman of the Year that she met her true love, the firmly married Spencer Tracy. Fiercely opposed in background, taste, and acting techniques, yet both strong-willed and eccentric by Hollywood standards, she and Tracy formed a remarkable team both on and off screen.

Hepburn's life, her loves, her family, her elegance, her vitality--they are all here, in beautiful black-and-white photographs and journalist Joal Ryan's biographical portrait.
