With what aspects of Kate's life - real or on screen - do you most identify?
Regarding her childhood, (crossing over into Little Women), I too was the eldest sister of 3, a tomboy, a bookworm and loved putting on plays for all the family. Somewhere along the line though, I guess I turned into a sort of Meg, as I married and had children....
I can also identify with the storyline in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner . 9 years after it was made, I also embarked on a "mixed marriage" (happy to say it's still going strong, despite all the odds), and people reacted very much the way they did in the film, even down to the religious cleric being all for it!
I can think of lots more, but let's hear what the rest of you have to say first.

Unlike Kate I am an only child (with the exception of a half-sister who is 9 years older) but I was also a tomboy climbing trees, doing flips into the pool (instead of the Long Island Sound)... I secretly wanted to be an actress... but I also wanted to be an architect and a veterinarian I think we share the same political views and views on "feminism." We definitely share the same ideas about men... not sure we should live together. Just visit now and then. I'm probably not going to get married. I don't really see the point in it. Hmm... that's all for now lol

I was a tomboy - I guess I share her distrust of marriage as an insitution and unfortunately I lost one of my siblings as a young women . And I would love to have Katharine's enthusiasm for life .

Well, I guess I was kind of a tomboy as well, or what ever you want to call it... But then again everyone in my family are/were in a way. We've been taught that there's no difference between the sexes, which have given me, my sisters, cousins etc the freedom to be ourselves without normal restrictions and that have made it easy for us to be "tomboyish". But such an expression (tomboy) are to me without much meaning though. Because of my upbringing I can also agree with Kate in many of her opinions on "feminism", on men and women and on religion. I guess I can also identify with Kate in some of the shyness she had as young and her selfishness (can I call it that? ). However there are many of her qualities that I wish I had, like her enthusiasm for life (like Smith already said). It feels as if I explained very lousy, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say anyway.
