Come on Shaun where have you been? You haven't heard Judy's story?? lol You had to bring back my envy. I must be a total dimwit because I didn't even put two and two together when I saw the letters she sent to fans asking for autographs!

I remember reading that story somewhere, but I forgot that it came from this site. Judy, did you call her 'Kate' or 'Miss Hepburn?'

Ha! That's a good question... and one I wouldn't have thought of and would be interested to hear. lol I would be like, "Hello... Miss... Kath... Kate.... Hepbur... Kathari... *faint*"

I remember reading about when somebody was hounding her for an autograph and she refused (this isn't the funny part). Her car drives on, only to stop a few seconds later down the street. Her hand comes out of the window, beckoning the person over; she had agreed to sign the picture. Only she signs over her face, ruining the picture! Ha, ha that's what you get for nagging her!

There's another story I remember - well, not really, cause right this minute I cannot remember anything about the context or the time or nuthin' - but it had to do with her leaving a stage door where fans were waiting, getting in her car and telling her driver to "Drive on; we'll come back and sweep up the blood later."
Don't know if this is true. But I hope it is.

Hahaha! Oh Kate. You definitely don't want to provoke her. How about the time when her aunt said she looked too frail and she bounded off and ran smack dab center into one of the trees on her street! Her mom had to tell her the story afterward because she said she didn't remember! I wonder why? Hehe. ;D Then there are some fun times making TAQ-Once she was trying to eat her pineapple slices, minding her own business, and a huge swarm of bees came upon her and so she would get a bite, run away and eat it and let the bees have some and then run back and chase them away and get another bite and run off again. God I love her. Then there's always the time when on the plane...and she got the urge to um....relieve herself...and she was so excited to find a little potty in her berth, but umm...it wasn't and she kinda made an "oopsie" on her foot! Bwahahahaha! I would do that, too. Cus I'm a dork.

OMG those stories are so funny. I never heard the autograph ones. I like the one where she refuses the guy in Central Park an autograph whilst she was reading in her little hidden nook (I HAVE to find this spot when I go! Judy have you been?) and he walks off and says "Thanks anyway Audrey" lol It's not something SHE did that was funny. I wonder if they guy was joking just to get under her skin. As for signing over the face, I wouldn't care if she ripped the face off and signed it. She could just touch it and that would be good enough for me ;D

-- The part in All About Me when she's trying to direct the guy on the ladder who is adjusting something. She says "Left"... "No! Left!"... "God you're as bad as I am" lol

I remember reading this in her book. She was with somebody (Garbo, I think) and that person sat on a bed and realized a bump beneath the sheets, in turn the woman says "I have one of those too", and then Kate responded in her book "It was a water bottle, obviously". I'm thinking something... although I'm not sure what I'm thinking is right.

I've read these fan incidents in Prideaux's book: She goes to the Russian Tea Room and gives a note to the hatcheck girl to give to Prideaux (who will be dining there with Raquel Welch -- this is like, the first time in years Kate goes into a restaurant) who then says "Aaahhh!!" Kate sees that she is "upset" and gives her a hug, where the girl responds with another "Aaaahh!!" While sitting in her car, Kate sees a fan waving frantically at her in the car next to hers. She waves frantically back. (I crack up at this image) After eating a meal of Chinese take-out at one of Prideaux's friend's small apartments in LA, she rushes down the stairs (she 'rushes' everywhere apparently) and ends up face to face with a tenant. "Oh my God!" he exclaims. "MY GOD!" Kate just says "it was nice to see you" and continues to rush out the door. Am I ruining this book for the ones who haven't read it? Let me know... and I'll stop. It's just so wonderful. ;D Except for the parts where Prideaux goes on for a chapter at a time about some TV movie he wants to do.

Me too ;D I MUST read this book! It sounds like it has more funny stories in it than any other biography.

Haha! Glad I could help you with some laughs... I have this image of a girl running around her library giggling to herself and drawing stares -- all because of Kate. If that is you, you're awesome. lol
