A little nice storie from the net - little maybe but tells a great deal about Kate's personality -
"The best tribute I've seen to her comes from Katharine Hepburn, who often visited the bedridden Barrymore in the 1950s:
She was beautiful to look at ... Wonderful hair - strong hair, lots of it and well fixed. Exquisite skin. Not much make-up and eyes that, well, scared you to death sometimes, and at other times I'd look and think, 'Where have you been and what are the lives you have seen, and what really goes on in your mind' - because although she was a great actress and a great personality and had known everyone in the world, she had a very odd look about her. She was religious. She never talked too much about it, but I think she had great faith in - something .... I don't know what the dickens it was. A kind of faith in life, I think. She made you feel that there was something about the human race that was thrilling. ... I would go away and I'd always come back. And people would say to me, 'You're so nice to go and call on Ethel.' And I would think, 'How lucky I am to be able to see Ethel!' ... I always had a feeling of elevation at having been with her. Every time I went I would look at her and think, 'I might never see you again.' And yet there she was, sitting up in bed and looking as though something wonderful was in her future. (Peters p. 519)"

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...
