If Garbo was the first actress to give the cinema its true and subtle sexuality, then Katharine Hepburn was the first to give it spirit and verbal intelligence. It was with Hepburn that women in the cinema came of age: "She didn't grow up in Hollywood," said George Cukor; "Hollywood grew up to her." In this biography, Sheridan Morley provides a fitting tribute to Katharine Hepburn. Her style and wit, her sense of grandeur, are abundantly apparent in these pages. her career is a testament to survival in an evanescent profession. She did once reveal that when she died she expected people to miss her "just like they'd miss a very old monument", and indeed from A Bill of Divorcement to On Golden Pond, Hepburn's films form a foundation in the twentieth century history of film.
