Description
Born to a wealthy family, Katharine Hepburn shot to early fame, winning the first of her four Oscars (a record) when only 26, though she soon became “box office poison.” She quickly brought about her own comeback with The Philadelphia Story and became an icon of screen in both dramatic and comedic roles. This course will include many performance excerpts (plus her single stage musical!) and discuss her screen persona as an independent woman, her legacy, and life and her relationship with Spencer Tracy.
