Katharine Hepburn

Katherine Hepburn was born on May 12, 1907 in Hartford, Connecticut, the son of a suffragist and physician who has always encouraged her to express her opinions to the fullest and to get the most out of her body. As an athletic tomboy, she was very close to her brother Tom. At 14, she was shocked to learn that he had died by accidentally hanging himself while practicing the hanging trick his father had taught him. Years later, she used his date of birth, November 8, as her birthday. She was shy of girls her age and was mostly homeschooled. She actually decided to become an actress at Bryn More College, appearing in many productions.


After graduating, she started to appear in small roles on Broadway and elsewhere. She is especially in the spotlight for her role in Art and Bottle (1931). She eventually became a star, starring as Amazon Princess Anti-Opere in Warrior's Husband (1932). An inevitable cinematic proposal followed. After several screen tests, she played with John Barrymore in the film "On Divorce" (1932). The film became popular and after RKO agreed to her salary demands, she signed a contract with her. Between 1932 and 1934, she directed five films. In her third film, Morning Glory (1933), she won her first Academy Award. Her fourth painting, Little Women (1933), was her most successful painting of her time.
