COMMENTS - Are we supposed to talk about The Aviator here? haha. I'm excited for foruming it out, but my space bar is broken so bear with me. OH! PS-I heart Ernesto and Kath

NAME: Jess
FROM: Sydney Australia
FAVORITE KATE FILMS: African Queen, Stage Door, Adam's Rib, Bringing Up Baby, Summertime, The Philadelphia Story, Desk Set
ALL TIME FAVE KATE FILM: Woman of the Year
PERFORMANCE: The entire Holiday movie, particularly the New Year scene with Cary Grant in the play room.
COMEDY: Pat and Mike / Desk Set
DRAMA: Woman of the Year / Summertime
HOW I BECAME A FAN:
Last year I purchased The Philadelphia Story because I just happened to be watching High Society and thought, I wonder how different it is without music.
Shortly after, I was shopping in my local Wollworths supermarket and saw "Woman of the Year" and thought the cover looked cute and romantic, so I thought 'what the heck' and purchased it. Well, one taste of Kate and Spence and you're addicted for life! I then bought every Spence/Kate film I could find and YouTube'd anything Spence/Kate I could possibly lay eyes on and continue to be fascinated and love learning new fun facts about Hollywood's secret couple.
Since then I have managed to purchase "Me", "Tracy and Hepburn: An intimate memoir" and "The Making of The African Queen or How..." and can't wait to re-read them all!
COMMENTS:
Summertime and Desk Set are SO underrated! Awesome movies yet generally seem to get overlooked grr!
I have just started a Katharine Hepburn scrapbook which I'll have to put down soon when I start back at college.
I have made a few Katharine Hepburn / Spencer Tracy video tributes on YouTube and continue to make them as we speak!
P.S. The latest Kate treasure I am on the hunt for is Without Love. I've never seen it and it looks soooo good!

Hey there! I must say, I adore this forum! I’m so happy I joined it. Kate is the best!
Name: Carolina
Country: Portugal
Favourite films: Bringing up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, Stage Door, Adam’s rib, The African queen, On Golden Pond…
Favourite film of all time: Casablanca. Of Kate’s, Bringing up Baby.
Favourite performance
Comedy: Bringing up Baby
Drama: Too hard to choose
How I became a fan: My favourite song of Madonna is Vogue. So, one day, I was carefully listening to the lyrics, and then there was a part where she goes ‘Greta Garbo and Monroe, Dietrich and DiMaggio…’ and so on…and I wondered who those people were. So, I google their names and obviously found out they’re stars from The Golden Age. I immediately was fascinated by them and wanted to watch their films. I became a fan of them all, but as I watched their movies, Kate became my absolute favourite. I was about 13 and I am 17 now.
Favourite Kate quote: ‘If you always do what interests you at leats one person is pleased.’
Favourite Kate line from a movie: ‘It would be a terrific innovation if you could get you mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack.’ Stage Door
Male co-star: Cary Grant
Female co-star: Ginger Rogers
Kate/Spence movie. Adam’s Rib
Book about Kate: ‘Kate Remembered’
Interview with Kate: Dick Cavett. To me, the best talk show host ever.
With whom (actor/actress) would you have liked Kate to do a movie with: Bette Davis. Man, that would have been World War III.
One performance for which she didn't get the Oscar but should have - which movie/performance would it have been?: The african queen. Or Long day’s journey into night.
If you could turn back time and could watch her in ONE stage performance - which one would you pick?: The warrior’s husband.
Favourite Kate-scene in any movie?: The dinner scene in BUB with Major Appleagte.
All-time favourite photo: Too many!
Comments:
I feel sorry for those who don’t know who Katharine Hepburn is. They don’t even imagine what they’re missing.

I am so darn happy I found this board. I kept running into boards on Judy and Bette but nothing on K.H. This is well hidden.
Name: Amanda
Country: U.S
Favourite Kate films: Bringing up Baby, Holiday, The Philadelphia Story, and Lion in Winter. So far
Favourite film of all time: Fried Green Tomatoes (sorry KH)
Favourite performance of Kate: Lion in Winter
How I became a fan: I've always known of KH but didn't know her. We watched a clip of Lion in Winter in English class in my second year of college (last year). The scene when her and O'Tool are having it out. She is on the bed raving about his father. I got goosebumps. I told myself I had to get some of her films but life got busy. I ramdomly grabbed BUB about 2 months ago because I felt sick and wanted a comedy. It looked good. I was struck by this woman's beauty. I couldn't get over that she was funny. I thought she was so straight laced. I've been hooked ever since.
Favourite Kate quote: Life is hard, after all it kills you.
Favourite Kate line from a movie: Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we all have knives, its 1183 and we're barbarians!
Male co-star: Cary Grant
Female co-star: Billie Burke she is considered a co-star right? Maybe not, oh well I like her. I do love Ginger though.
Kate/Spence movie: Desk Set,too cute.
Book about Kate: The Making of the African Queen
With whom (actor/actress) would you have liked Kate to do a movie with: Streep...kidding. Humm I don't know. Becall? A. Hepburn?
One performance for which she didn't get the Oscar but should have - which movie/performance would it have been?: I'll let you know after I watch Alice Adams. EDIT: I saw AA and I must say I was not as impressed as I thought. I would have to say Summertime.
If you could turn back time and could watch her in ONE stage performance - which one would you pick?: The Warrior’s Husband, The Philly Story, or Coco. I can't decide... or maybe in Antony and Cleo? What about The Lake? Could she really have been that bad?
Favourite Kate-scene in any movie?: Holiday...Cary's shoulders, nuff said
All-time favourite photo: Anything that has been colorized from the 40's and earlier

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...
