Katharine Hepburn Who?

Photobucket

In this weeks Monday Movie Meme, The Bumbles welcomes participants to share "favorite moments, memories or films featuring Katharine Hepburn" but I'm not too familiar with this actress. Now, Audrey Hepburn rings the bell, but Katharine Hepburn? Nope! While doing some brief reading up on her filmography to find out who she is, I noticed that she did that movie called "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" with Sidney Poitier.

Even though I read about this movie somewhere, maybe in some type of magazine or newspaper article around the time that "Guess Who" with Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Max was released, I still never watched the movie and vaguely familiar with it. That leaves me to highlighting the only milestone moment that would be deemed as a favorite for many film fanatics and fans of the actress in general.....and this would be her commemorative stamp.

Monday Movie Meme,WordCount Blogathon

In March 2010, the U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp honoring Katharine Hepburn as part of their Legends of Hollywood series. Later that Month, The Kent State University Museum adopted it as the official stamp for their exhibit dedicated to Hepburn's costumes that she wore in Broadway and film productions. The stamp was used on all correspondence related to the exhibition.

So after trying to learn more about Katharine Hepburn, I also find out that there was a Hollywood legends stamp series that I also knew nothing about? Boy am I behind on the news....I could've used some Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland AND...Audrey Hepburn stamps!

I have to admit that I haven't consciously gone out in search of Hepburn flicks, and I can't name offhand any of her films except for "On Golden Pond", and that was a film late in her career. Perhaps this doesn't bode well for somebody who loves movies? I think I'll be hitting up imdb and pick a few of her films, if for nothing else other than to better understand why she's held in such high regard...

Herman,

"...doesn't bode well for somebody who loves movies?" Tell me about it. I can relate to that and feel a bit out of the loop regarding Katharine Hepburn, since I studied film and love to make them. I don't know what's worse....not knowing who she is or still having not watched Psycho in full! Well, I still plan on watching Psycho in its entirety later this year but doubt that I'll check out any of her work.

Those stamps look gorgeous. I'm not a movie buff, and know deplorably little about both the Hepburns!

May 10, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterdamyantiwrites

Those are gorgeous stamps!

May 10, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterDamyanti

I can't believe you haven't seen any of her movies. She's an astonishingly good acvtress from back when everyone had to keep their clothes on so women had to be interesting to keep your attention.

All of her films with Spencer Tracy were great (Woman of the Year and Adam's Rib especially). Bring Up Baby with Cary Grant is a classic screwball comedy. The Philadelphia Story, another classic.

She's great, watch her movies.

Damyanti,

I agree. the Stamps are gorgeous!

Mooderino,

Believe it! LOL. I may watch "The Philadelphia Story," since I heard about the movie a few times within the last year or so but I didn't know about the cast of the movie. There were a few screenings of it in or around town a few months ago.

Katherine Hepburn is one of my all time favourite actresses, granted I am more a Black and White movies type of girl.
I still enjoy how very different she was for her time period.

May 10, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnyes

Anyes,

Black and white movies are some of the best films to watch, especially those that are classics. Can you believe that I wasn't too familiar with "It's a Wonderful Life" until maybe 2004 or so? That is now one of those classic black and white movies that I could watch over and over again.

May 10, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNicole

About all I know about Katherine Hepburn are that she dated Howard Hughes (which I only know from watching The Aviator, so assuming that's an accurate bit of biographic info) and that she loved to visit relatives in Annapolis, MD who had a big covered porch and lived just off one of the town squares, according to a sign posted on that porch. Absolutely nothing about her acting chops though! As far as I understand, she was quite the feisty woman.

As an aside, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is worth a watch!
