Screen Legend Katharine Hepburn Dies at 96----- a legend is gone........midnightly

Actress Katharine Hepburn, one of the silver screen's true legends and the actress considered the first lady of cinema, has died at the age of 96; reports stated she passed away Sunday afternoon at her home in Old Saybrook, Connecticut.

An iconoclast who worked the Hollywood system to her advantage, she was honored with 12 Academy Award nominations, the most for any actor until Meryl Streep broke that record last year. Hepburn won an unparalleled four Best Actress Oscars – one for the 1933 drama Morning Glory, two in a row in 1967 and 1968 for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and The Lion in Winter, and her final one for 1981's On Golden Pond.

Known for her patrician New England accent, pioneering feminist stance and unconventional bearing and beauty, Hepburn acted onstage in New York before being lured to Hollywood with a role in A Bill of Divorcement opposite John Barrymore. From there, her career hit both highs and lows, but she remained a Hollywood fixture well into the latter part of the 20th century.

Early successes such as Alice Adams and Little Women were followed by financial failures like Bringing Up Baby (now a classic of the screwball genre) which labeled her "box office poison." Going back to Broadway, she wowed critics and audiences with her turn in The Philadelphia Story, and bought the rights for the 1940 screen adaptation, which revived her film career.

The `40s saw her paired with longtime lover Spencer Tracy

Date: 6/29/2003 7:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 62197    I know I may be concidered a rat for saying this but, I thought she died a long time ago (Right after "On Golden Pond". I don't know if I was more shocked that she died or that she was still alive. She was a great actress though. May she rest in peace. Islander31
Date: 6/29/2003 7:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    THIS is the one lady That I MOST admired. She had a great life. I do wish I could have met her in person. That would have been something...Katharine and Catherine...putzing around in the garden wearing straw hats and laughing our heads off. Ahhhhhhhhh....such memories of her movies......I can picture her now in "The African Queen" with Bogart. *lifts a toast* Rest in Peace, dear Katharine, and we shall never forget you.

Date: 6/29/2003 10:45:00 PM  From Authorid: 57232    There is all this fandom for the other Hepburn, but great Kate, was truly a gem. Just the other week I saw Suddenly Last Summer for the first time. I looked on imdb to see what she's been up to, I was wondering if she had made a cameo in any recent movies and I was really missing her. Now today I heard this. I have the feeling Bob Hope is going to be in the news soon...  
Date: 6/29/2003 10:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    "The African Queen" was the best. The "leech" scene still brings chills. *sigh* She was a Great Lady, and we are poorer for her passing. G' night, Katie......  
Date: 6/29/2003 10:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 12341    She was beautiful, and a wonderful actress, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing the thought.  
Date: 6/29/2003 10:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 12341    LSG is right, who can forget The African Queen? She was a legend.  
Date: 6/29/2003 10:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 53689    When I saw news of her passing earlier today, I almost cried. She one of my idols. A great actress...and more importantly, a great woman.  
Date: 6/29/2003 11:12:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53052    she is a great woman to look up to...  
Date: 6/30/2003 12:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 28946    *tears* She was one of my favorite actresses and pplayed each part so real. She will be so missed but her films - may they always be shown. I knew Gregory Peck passed on last week and now Katherine Hepburn. I wonder who the third will be?  
Date: 6/30/2003 6:16:00 AM  From Authorid: 15394    what a long and wonderous life!!!  
Date: 6/30/2003 7:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 8726    thats really sad. she was cool   
Date: 6/30/2003 8:15:00 AM  From Authorid: 62023    You know, I never cared too much for her early works, but I loved her in her later roles. She was spunky and I admired her "sparkling" personality. What a great lady. Today's movie stars could have learned a lot from her. Peace,  
Date: 6/30/2003 8:52:00 AM  From Authorid: 13729    "African Queen" was one of my favorite movies!......  
Date: 6/30/2003 10:49:00 AM  From Authorid: 28989    I also thought that she had passed away a few years ago, so I was surprised to see a tribute to her on TV yesterday. One of my favorite actresses of all time. She had what few actors have today: guts and humanity.  
Date: 7/1/2003 7:02:00 AM  From Authorid: 7341    She was a beautiful lady...very talented. My mom is a big fan of her...so much that I was named Katharine after her. She was a great woman...
