Katharine Hepburn rearranges the furniture on Dick Cavett

Kate was one of a kind, just hilarious. Dick was in the palm of her hands as were many others. I really appreciated her work; she nailed many performances and like my grandmother, she had few if any cut cards. Her frankness was refreshing and hilarious. R.I.P. Kate.

It was Olivier.

my mum named me after this woman!

I prefer Constance Bennett.

Oh, but they truly were so different! Why not love them both? Bennett (to my mind) was more adept at screwball comedy (and physical roles), and Hepburn (to my mind) was more adept at the dramatic roles. Both were stunning, however, and both were possessed of great talents.

It never ceases to amaze me what some people have in their personal archives. I don't know where someone would get a piece of footage like this but it's great. As close as you can get to a couple minutes with the real Katharine Hepburn. Thanks for posting.

What abseloutely fabulous footage. Makes me appreciate what a tough lady she was even more. I have no doubt that if there were brown paint and a brush, Ms Hepburn WOULD have painted it then and there!

Her perfection reminds me of Barbra Streisand, especially when she's talking about all the colours and how the focus should be on the talent. Barbra would say something like that!

Sheer genius.

Thank you for sharing!

She was a very strong-minded, independent woman whose personality sometimes came off as brusque and harsh. But she got what she wanted, and that is how she succeeded in becoming who she became. These people know and deeply honor that. Notice how nobody on the set seems to be annoyed at her. She was (and still is) EXTRAORDINARILY respected in the acting world and for her contributions to women's causes.

exactly!! of all the oldtime stars you'd want to have a coffee with...i bet she could tell you some great stories about carey grant and humphrey bogart on all sorts of equally wonderful people!!

She led a pretty charmed life. She had beauty and talent, came from "good stock" and money. Early biographies paint her to be sort of saint-like. More recent ones portray her as more self involved and pretentious than her image revealed. I think the truth is probably somewhere in between. I think she was fantastic in Bringing Up Baby" and "Suddenly last Summer". I once knew her sister in CT and they sounded just alike.
