Katharine Hepburn: All About Me (1993)
KATHARINE HEPBURN: ALL ABOUT ME
D: David Heeley (1993) ¢ ¢ ¢
A spry and feisty Katharine Hepburn talks about her favorite subject - herself - and looks back on her remarkable life and career. The film clips include home movies and screen tests, most strikingly a pre-Hollywood Hepburn experimenting with costumes and makeup, and a mid-'30s Kate in color as Joan of Arc. Then there's later off-screen footage of Hepburn playing Parcheesi, bossing her small entourage through a shopping expedition and tooling around on a bicycle without a helmet at 85. Helmet? Who needs a helmet when you're as hard-headed as Katharine Hepburn?
