I said it before and I'll say it again: Golly!
Kama...Kama...Kama....Thank you! Where on earth did you find color versions of these? I'd seen them - well, most, not all - in b/w but never in color.
Do you all have Bob Smith's book, HAMLET'S DRESSER?
As a young man, Smith, a Stratford, CT, native, worked as a dresser at the American Shakespeare Festival, where he witnesseed first-hand KH at work. He has since devoted his life to teaching and directing Shakespeare.
The book itself is wonderful; he's had an interesting life. But of special interest are quite a few recollections of Kate. Here's one quote:
“I was completely star-struck. I watched everything she did. She was bigger than life, more strident than a tree of crows. She smoked like an engine, went braless in Swiss cottonT-shirts, rode a bike, rowed a boat up the river every day, and scolded people for being ordinary. She was impatient, self-absorbed, and the hardest working person I’d ever seen. She was the only person in an army of fanatically committed people who I thought cared as much as I did. Everyone was afraid of her and she pretended to be afraid of nothing. Other people’s expectations greeted her every time she turned a corner.”
He also tells a funny and revealing story about a time during the run of ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA. He was backstage just as she was to go on and noticed she was agitated. He had realized that she had forgotten to put on one of those arm bangles that you can see very clearly in these great photos from Kama. She didn't say anything, but he knew that what was causing her distress. Without saying anything, he quickly ran to her dressing room, grabbed it, ran back and gave it to her to clasp on her arm seconds before she had to go out onstage. Later on after the performance, he saw her about to leave on her bike and she thanked him....
The actress in her KNEW something was not right. And when something is not right with an actress's costume - even something that seems like the most minor of details - it can really throw them off. I just love this story. She was grateful to this kid for noticing. Must have mad him many Brownie points that day.
At Sotheby's - in the viewing galleries before the auction - they had huge blow-ups of Kate photos we all know: the one of her climbing on the plane, the one of her and Spencer on the couch in WOTY, one of her and Luddy sitting on the boat with her all in white, a few John Bryson shots. But they also had an absolutely gorgeous one from ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA. It's of her reclining on that bed that is in one or two of Kama's shots with her arm outstretched....I was so tempted to swipe it :-) Woudda needed a mini-van to haul it away, though. It was HUGE.
So...there are many more shots out there from this. Odd that until fairly recently they did not come to light as far as I know. I mean they are gorgeous, so how come they have not been reproduced in books....Anyway, thanks, Kama, for posting these. You made my day! Er...night.

yeah doctormacro.com is an amazing site.
I figured everyone on here would have known about it for some time (as I have).
I might have been wrong.
Sorry guys. Would have shared sooner myself if I'd known.
macro has amazing pictures and videos of other people, not just Kate.
The Rita Hayworth pictures were especially awesome.

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...
