@direfranchement Yep. She could have worn old jeans and a beaten up tee-shirt and no one would have dared suggest she not. And the ovation would have been no less.
@direfranchement You'll find many woman, especially in show business, will wear turtlenecks or scarves around their necks as they get older. It covers up their necks which tend to show their age more than any other facial feature that make up and hair dye can cover up. I respect Katharine for allowing herself to naturally age, unlike many older stars today who look like caricature's of their former selves after many unflattering plastic surgery's...
actually i watched a larry king interview with here niece and she said she hated these things becouse she was shy. hard to belive she played such strong roles she was the best.
This woman was sexually deprived. You can tell by her skin. Elizabeth Taylor, on the other hand, was very well "nourished" in that department. She couldn't hide the radiance even if she tried. All that confidence and grand-dame-demeanor cannot fool me.
@captainjjb84 No she never said anything like that. She just hated public events (and didn't want to go to the ceremony and lose), the only reason she agreed to present this award was because Weingarten asked her to and he was terminally ill.
Katharine Hepburn - We will never encounter the likes of her again. Talk about a diva!!!! Four Oscars over a span of fifty years! What an actress and presence she was!!!!!!
WHEREVER KATH HAVE PASSED OVER THE YEARS IT'S A NICE "WALK OF FAME".
I THINK THIS PATH TO NOTORIETY SHOULD ALSO RIGHTLY APPLY TO THE MANY
TINY~SHOPS OR BOUTICS ALONG THE HOLLYWOODIAN ROAD, TO THE CARS PASSING BY AT THE MOMENT AND TO THE TREES, IN BLOOM OR DEAD. IN ONE OF THOSE TREES, ON A MYRIFICAL BRANCH I STAY AS CIORIC BRINGING MY TRIBUTE TO THIS NEW PASSION OF MINE, TOGETHER WITH PARAMOUNT PICTURES; I SALUTE LATELY THIS LEGEND, THIS ACTRESS, NAMED HEPBURNED... MILLE GRAZZIE...!!! VLAD
Quite possibly the chic-est and most stylish person, man or woman, to ever grace the oscars.....................years before Yohji Yammamoto, Rick Owens or Hedi Slimane here is an extraordinarily modern woman...........fabulous!
I love her..and I really like her Valentino gown... would it kill her to put on a damn dress once in a while..it just burns me up..she's a legend and a superb actress and she thinks she's too "down to earth" to look like a lady..her one fault
@cwecub I think she looks more like a lady than many actresses today in Hollywood. She carries herself with more grace than they could dream of. It's sad that you think her not wearing a dress is a fault. You find fault where there isn't any.
@defundthewar Watch her in The Glass Menagerie or Alice Adams if you want to see her play an impoverished person. Watch her in The Lion in Winter. You forget that she is KH and just think of her as her character...albeit a queen...but not Waspish. In Sylvia Scarlett..made in the 30s...she plays a teenage boy. In Keeper of the Flame and The Sea of Grass..she plays tainted/insecure women. It's not til the end that she is vindicated in those. In Dragon Seed she is a Japanese woman, very convincing.
I'll catch some flack for saying it, but although she was a gorgeous, striking woman with great style, was she really a great actress if she was always playing herself... a WASPish, upper-class, mannered lady with strong convictions? Could she ever effectively play an ethnic role? A foreigner? Someone impoverished? Someone cowardly? Someone insecure? Someone with no moral compass? Again, I'll get scolded, but if you're always playing variations of yourself, are you really acting?
@defundthewar Its a good question. I guess the only straight answer is that we'll never know, the studios were pretty bad about typecasting. But I guess my thinking is that its the amazing emotion that she projects which makes her great. Part of being an actor is being able to hold the audience in your hand and make them cry, make them laugh, make them feel along with you. She did that. But I would've liked to see what she would have done with the kind of role you described.
@ninmat hmm well it wasn't like they wanted to...back then americans sounded much more british than they do now...at least the upper middle and upper classes did
What a woman. She was an icon and still is an icon. Hollywood today could not put a pimple on her butt. She would be ashamed to be part of the Hollywood we see today.
@konnen95 she accepted them, but she didn't attend the ceremonies, when she was nominated because she despised the academy awards! can't blame her. she was an eccentric person person, as all the original talents, i guess.
@konnen95 she accepted them, but she didn't attended the ceremonies when she was nomitated. she despised the academy awards and she was superstitious. can't blame her. she was an eccentric person, as all the original talented and gifted people, i guess.

Katharine Hepburn- One of my very top fav actresses! By the way I'm not a dress/skirt
type either. Not of that generation & was raised on the classics. The actors & actresses & movies of that generation have my absolute love & respect. Adore many of Ms Hepburn's movies. My top fav are The Little Minister, Holiday & Under current. When she's acting just look into those shimmering eyes & she has you by the heart. God Bless & Shalom.
That was the first time she was @ the Oscars? I can so tell, and she was beautiful, her speech was so natural and generous. Every producer should want to hear that!
@MsThunderroad She got cast because she was brilliant, moron.
Not to mention that the love of her life was Spencer Tracy and she had never anything to do with politics.
She was and still is one of the most genius actresses of all times and your un-wisely chosen words only prove you have no idea what you are talking about.
It may be your personal opinion, but please keep those hateful words to yourself.

@aclerki She never accepted in-person the Oscars she won. By presenting the award to the producer, she showed that she was being unselfish by finally attending a ceremony.
@aclerki People accused her of being selfish because she was a recluse. I don't think she ever actually accepted the four Best Actress Oscars that she received. She holds the record for most Best Actress Oscars. Considering the Academy's failure to give Meryl Streep in nearly two decades, she will likely hold that honor forever. If anyone deserves to hold the record forever, it is she.
@boogiebuddy01 She did not have Parkinsons. She said that it was the same thing her Aunt had. It was a "just is" to her, as it was to some of the women in her family.
@jwdundon That's an unfair thing to say. There are a lot of great actors in this generation, sure, we have a lot of crap and fun going around, but there are still good movies being made.
I have never been so grateful for YouTube as I have at this moment after having an opportunity to experience the short presence of these remarkable human beings... Katherine, we thank you for all your lovelies and the aspect of yourself that you shared with the world...
I don't care what anybody says, I know for a fact that no woman in hollywood now or ever will have any amount of the amazing class Katharine had. I love her :)

To the person who posted wondering if Miss Hepburn was drunk, if you knew much about what your are trying to talk about here your would know that she had Parkinson's disease, and in spite of this condition she marched on with courage and grit to continue a career that was peerless. Of course I doubt that you know what "peerless" means-your comment tells me you would never "get it" anyway.
I too disagree with CT2507, HOWEVER...unfortunately I do feel that his ( or her ) narrowmindedness is the way the world is headed. Think about it...whenever you see the academy awards ( or the emmy's or ANY awards show for that matter ) you see females not only spilling out with "femininity" but they dress like trashy whopres. nothing left to the imagination. if Kate were in her heyday now, things would shore 'nuff be different!
@chetgeyer are you stupid? She had a tremor most of late life. She never went to the oscars, even when she was nominated. She's not drunk. She's human.
@markshark1081 perhaps the poster isn't that familiar with Ms.Hepburn. Other than knowing her name, I doubt most young folks know anything about her. :)
@dmoreno168 Because, as she said in her interview with Morley Safer in 1979, she was afraid people would see her as a bore. You can tell the way she handles herself that she isn't comfortable being in the spotlight in front of that many people unless it is making a movie or an interview. She is not an attention whore like today's celebrities. Notice she is humble unlike ANY celeb today? She would take a crap on Paris Hilton's head! LOL
NO ONE in the audience knew that Katharine was going to be there..She even wore PANTS!!!! And after it was over...she went to the producer of the show and ask him...Do you need me for anything else...He said NO....and off she went...Never to show up to another Oscar Show...IT WOULD OF been nice if she was there for On Golden Pond....She would of gotten a Major Standing Ovation of the likes of Charlie Chaplin's 15 minute....I truly believe that.
Shame on you sycophants who praise this evil mummer Katharine Hepburn! This degenerate woman promoted infanticide, transvestism and homosexuality. Nothing good comes from elitism.
@aquagrl63 She wasn't a transvestite. Katharine Hepburn was one of the first public ladies to defy the required female attire. She wore pants, that's all.
@SufferInJuly Who the hell made you God? Why don't you just quote the scriptures on homosexuality, transvestism and infantcide. People like you are more evil over your religious conviction than the so-called sinner you complain of. I take it you would probably hug the abortion doctor killer, spit on a gay person, and smack a transvestite. So gald SufferinJuly that you are perfect, yet you violate many of Christ's direct order simply by passing judgement on people as you do! Go read a bible
@252925j it wasnt that simple. Spenc and his wife werent close long before Kate came along. Spenc was Catholic and would NEVER get divoriced PERIOD. Mrs Tracy wasnt Catholic but chose NOT to flie. Spence always held high respect for his wife just wasnt IN LOVEEEEEE any more. They must have reached an agreement because as the non Catholic Mrs Tracy could have gotten a divorce. Life happens and all three did the best they could.
never liked her and never will. she is a masculine female. females should not compete with men for control. they should just be females. just as men should not compete with women for their feminine qualities.
@CT2507 I completely disagree with your assessment of Ms. Hepburn, still one of the most acclaimed actresses. She has won more Leading Actress Oscars than any other woman. Until recently, she was the most nominated actress in history. Have you seen Morning Glory, Long Days Journey into Night; The African Queen; On Golden Pond, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner; Suddenly Last Summer; or The Lion in Windter?
Strong woman need not be masculine. She was a leader, not a man. Leaders need not be men.
thank you so much for your comment!! I m very glad that the rest of the world didn't forget her!! Franckly, when she's died, i was strongly upset that nobody marks her!!
@lulanne I agree. I may be a lot younger than most of her fans ( 40? ) but I adore her. I NEVER go to movies or watch awards shows anymore because it just isn't the same. If I had to put it into words I would have to say that this new modern society SUCKS! Sorry to offend anyone but it's just the way I feel. Luckily I have movies to show me how elegant life USED to be when people actually cared.
@neworleansguy10 not only the most Lead Actress Oscars, she has the most acting Oscars than anyone, male or female. While several people have two (either two leads or one lead and one supporting or two supporting), all four of hers were for lead. The next one in line is Jack Nicholson, but he has two lead (ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, AS GOOD AS IT GETS) and one supporting (TERMS OF ENDEARMENT). It is doubtful anyone will ever get 4 lead again (it's hard to get even two).
@musicaltheatergeek79 Oscars don't mean all that much when it comes to artistry and skill -- it's Hollywood biz. She was the greatest, with or without her trophies.
@mlT2507 Are you serious Please this is the 21st century why shoudn't females compete with men? Your commment is crap. Masculinity has nothing to do with it. Miss Hepburn is what she is.
@CT2507 She just felt comfortable in her slacks and she was a woman that women felt comfortable with not competing with the latest pleastic surgeon's cut!
@CT2507 Dumbest thing I ever read. You dislike her because shes her own person and doesnt follow what alot of stupid girls do? Right, yeah, total reason to hate her.
Gotta love her wearing pants and a turtleneck to the Academy Awards.

I have never been so grateful for YouTube as I have at this moment after having an opportunity to experience the short presence of these remarkable human beings... Katherine, we thank you for all your lovelies and the aspect of yourself that you shared with the world...

To the person who posted wondering if Miss Hepburn was drunk, if you knew much about what your are trying to talk about here your would know that she had Parkinson's disease, and in spite of this condition she marched on with courage and grit to continue a career that was peerless. Of course I doubt that you know what "peerless" means-your comment tells me you would never "get it" anyway.

I too disagree with CT2507, HOWEVER...unfortunately I do feel that his ( or her ) narrowmindedness is the way the world is headed. Think about it...whenever you see the academy awards ( or the emmy's or ANY awards show for that matter ) you see females not only spilling out with "femininity" but they dress like trashy whopres. nothing left to the imagination. if Kate were in her heyday now, things would shore 'nuff be different!

dmoreno168 1 year ago
@dmoreno168 Because, as she said in her interview with Morley Safer in 1979, she was afraid people would see her as a bore. You can tell the way she handles herself that she isn't comfortable being in the spotlight in front of that many people unless it is making a movie or an interview. She is not an attention whore like today's celebrities. Notice she is humble unlike ANY celeb today? She would take a crap on Paris Hilton's head! LOL

NO ONE in the audience knew that Katharine was going to be there..She even wore PANTS!!!! And after it was over...she went to the producer of the show and ask him...Do you need me for anything else...He said NO....and off she went...Never to show up to another Oscar Show...IT WOULD OF been nice if she was there for On Golden Pond....She would of gotten a Major Standing Ovation of the likes of Charlie Chaplin's 15 minute....I truly believe that.

Shame on you sycophants who praise this evil mummer Katharine Hepburn! This degenerate woman promoted infanticide, transvestism and homosexuality. Nothing good comes from elitism.

@aquagrl63 She wasn't a transvestite. Katharine Hepburn was one of the first public ladies to defy the required female attire. She wore pants, that's all.

@SufferInJuly Who the hell made you God? Why don't you just quote the scriptures on homosexuality, transvestism and infantcide. People like you are more evil over your religious conviction than the so-called sinner you complain of. I take it you would probably hug the abortion doctor killer, spit on a gay person, and smack a transvestite. So gald SufferinJuly that you are perfect, yet you violate many of Christ's direct order simply by passing judgement on people as you do! Go read a bible

@252925j it wasnt that simple. Spenc and his wife werent close long before Kate came along. Spenc was Catholic and would NEVER get divoriced PERIOD. Mrs Tracy wasnt Catholic but chose NOT to flie. Spence always held high respect for his wife just wasnt IN LOVEEEEEE any more. They must have reached an agreement because as the non Catholic Mrs Tracy could have gotten a divorce. Life happens and all three did the best they could.

CT2507 1 year ago
@CT2507 I completely disagree with your assessment of Ms. Hepburn, still one of the most acclaimed actresses. She has won more Leading Actress Oscars than any other woman. Until recently, she was the most nominated actress in history. Have you seen Morning Glory, Long Days Journey into Night; The African Queen; On Golden Pond, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner; Suddenly Last Summer; or The Lion in Windter?
Strong woman need not be masculine. She was a leader, not a man. Leaders need not be men.

@lulanne I agree. I may be a lot younger than most of her fans ( 40? ) but I adore her. I NEVER go to movies or watch awards shows anymore because it just isn't the same. If I had to put it into words I would have to say that this new modern society SUCKS! Sorry to offend anyone but it's just the way I feel. Luckily I have movies to show me how elegant life USED to be when people actually cared.

Eddie4518 1 year ago
@neworleansguy10 not only the most Lead Actress Oscars, she has the most acting Oscars than anyone, male or female. While several people have two (either two leads or one lead and one supporting or two supporting), all four of hers were for lead. The next one in line is Jack Nicholson, but he has two lead (ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, AS GOOD AS IT GETS) and one supporting (TERMS OF ENDEARMENT). It is doubtful anyone will ever get 4 lead again (it's hard to get even two).
