Synopsis
“Not often is a book about a film star more gripping than anything the star has played on the screen, but Barbara Leaming's biography has that distinction...Katharine Hepburn is Ms. Leaming's penetrating look beyond Ms. Hepburn's acting career and into the forces that shaped such an emblematic figure...Prodigious research has yielded a family history that is both revealing on its own terms and a necessary backdrop to any consideration of Ms. Hepburn's career.” – Janet Maslin, The New York Times Book Review

From the Back Cover
Hollywood has produced many stars, but no one compares to Katharine Hepburn. She is the last of the great ones: a celebrated actress, a brilliant personality, an original.
Barbara Leaming has discovered thousands of never-before-seen documents that finally illuminate the mystery of this enigmatic, fascinating woman. Based on letters by Hepburn, her friends, and her family, as well as interviews with Hepburn herself, Leaming's book is a family story that brings alive three generations of fearless women, personal and political crusaders who shaped the history of women in our century.
Barbara Leaming has also written biographies of Orson Welles, Rita Hayworth, and Bette Davis.
From the Inside Flap
>Me, the best-selling personal memoir in which Katharine Hepburn offered only selected glimpses of her colorful and fascinating life, Barbara Leaming offers a comprehensive, full-scale, richly documented biography of America's last great actress. This is an intimate and candid portrait of a true Hollywood original. Black-and-white inserts.
