my god it's that same voice, the one that taught me the meaning of the word "attractive". Peter O'Toole is without a doubt the greatest actor of all time.

We saw Burton and Taylor do this, and they were great. But I would love to watch these two together in a comedy like this one.

I got this clip off an LP collection of Shakespeare plays, each play having one LP of edited excerpts.  I believe it is the only available version of this production in any media.

Not according to Sian Phillips in her autobiography. I had always heard that she was named for Hepburn as well; but she says that they named her after "beautiful Kate" in Taming of the Shrew. She ought to know...

But Peter has stated in interviews that she was named for Kate Hepburn. Maybe this was one thing Sian and Peter could never agree on......

Maybe they each had different reasons for choosing the name. Perhaps Peter liked the name because it reminded him of Katharine Hepburn, who helped him get into movies and Sian liked it because it reminded her of the strong character from "Taming of the Shrew".
