Hi Everyone!

I've been a frequent visitor of this lovely forum for a while now, and I thought it was high time for formal introductions, so here it goes-- my name's Athena, and I'm a big big fan of both Kate and Spence. I guess my interest in Kate [as well as Spence] began close to a year ago now, so I'm a newbie in comparison to many of you. But being a pretty enthusiastic fan, I have read a fair amount of Tracy/Hepburn literature [basically anything I could get my hands on in regards to either of them -- the good, the bad, and the ugly -- my favorite being Garson Kanin's book] and I've almost gotten through both of their filmographies [fave Kate film is The Lion in Winter, fave K/S film is Woman of the Year] -- but anyway, I'm very excited to be a part of this wonderful board and I'm looking forward to all of your future posts.

And may I say that I share several of your tastes in "faves" ... but all that is subjective of course .... Howdy.

I'm also still a newbie I guess, being a fan for almost a year now. I also love Garson Kanin's book and Woman of the Year!

Hahaha -- I'm glad you enjoy my little tumblr page -- it does fall into the ridiculous at times [most of the time really] but it's all in good fun.

CFK: So we all heard about Betty Bacall, I guess? Pretty rotten news, especially following so closely on Robin Williams. What a lousy week. Watched To Have and Have Not as tribute tonight. Aug 13, 2014 0:25:58 GMT -5

lomola : hello fellow KH fans

Just stumbled upon this interesting board.. Does anyone have any video interviews with KH?? Or maybe transcripts of them? I´ve been especially looking for the full version of the famous Cavett one forever and ever... Sept 15, 2014 16:06:41 GMT -5

lomola : the bits of it i found on youtube were just amazing..

Laura: Is there anybody here? My registration has been pending approval forever...

Maybe this board has been abandonned by the owner.. Dec 15, 2014 3:40:49 GMT -5

Beth : Hello all! Gigantic KH fan here – Idk if this place is checked anymore but i've uploaded some hard to find Kate videos here -> m.youtube.com/channel/UCYzHef-IfY4pmzcZUi0AFXQ enjoy! Dec 3, 2015 22:12:10 GMT -5

Fran: I think the problem with actresses such as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford was that they played SEX SYMBOLS and did woman movies. They were sexy in their day and were the main love interests in the movie. When they got older those woman type movies were dead Jun 26, 2017 16:56:41 GMT -5

Fran: Bette Davis made very different movies from Katherine Hepburn Hepburn. Bette was sexy. So was Crawford. They made woman type movies. Hepburn was the masculine feminist. When their looks went, so did their careers. Hepburn was never that type. Jun 26, 2017 16:57:53 GMT -5

Angela: Personally, I like Bette Davis best she was "a woman for all season" she didn't mince words she did the role without having to apologize for creativity she musters to do the work. Also, she could look different without worrying about her appearance. Mar 14, 2019 19:54:07 GMT -5

Angela: Personally, I felt Bette Davis was the "woman for all seasons" since she used all her creativity to make her artwork. As for Katherine she seems to sound the same - her voice didn't change. Granted she was good in Shakespeare which I give credit. Mar 14, 2019 19:56:35 GMT -5

SJS: Bette had a mostly latent tendency to ham, and she admitted it. She really appreciated a director who could get her to tone it down. She lost respect for a director who would let her get away with it. But she took chances that most actresses wouldn't. Apr 15, 2020 14:12:32 GMT -5
