Kate's own stuff in films

[dreamer]

Has anyone of you noticed, that Kate sometimes used her own belongings to decorate the set?

We all know of Spencer's bust in Guess who is coming to dinner

Noticed that a sculpture of a bird (with a crown on - sort of) on top of the fireplace in the coming home sequence in Mrs. Delafield wants to marry is the same she had at home in NY.

She probably wore her own clothes in On Golden Pond.

I don't think so - found this a while back

MARK RYDELL Dorothy Jeakins, our costume designer, came to me and said, "You'd better go see what she's wearing." As opposed to the wardrobe we'd selected, she was standing there in kind of a buttery Eisenhower suede jacket and suede fedora. I said to her, "Listen, we're going to shoot in a few minutes, I think you better get into your wardrobe." And she said, "Oh, no, this will be fine." She kind of pooh-poohed me. I knew that this was a moment of challenge. I was trembling inside with anxiety—after all, it was the first shot of the picture. I said, "We're all going to take a 15-minute break while Miss Hepburn gets into her wardrobe." It was as if I had thrown a bucket of water in her face. She rose imperiously and stared at me and tears came to her eyes and she walked off toward her trailer. Henry [Fonda] said, "There goes the picture." But she came back dutifully in 15 minutes dressed in the wardrobe we had selected.

Although she had the same white shirt on in The private World of KH as she had in the scene with Fonda as Billy askes for the boat - they are probably given the clothes afterwards or they buy it, as she did with the canoe Gertrud (by the way the name of her former motherinlaw)

I always squee when I see baby Katty on a wall or some other random place. TONS OF HOME PHOTOS IN MDWTM!!! And her Bryn Mawr pic in OGP. Oh, and did ya'll ever notice in The Aviator, when Howard comes home from beating the stopwatch and meets Kate upstairs on the bed (with a tiny teddy!!!! Some parts, like the stuffed animal thing, that movie really did well at) there's the photo with her and Amos on the wall. Amos!!! HEHEEEE.

The McKnight bust of Kate is in Woman of the Year...

The painting on the wall in WOTY which stops Sam Craig in his tracks as he admires it, was a painting of Kate which she owned. It hung in her NY home but at one point was stolen and never recovered. The artist was Albert Brook.

Just read about it and forgot totally ;D
