Katharine Hepburn is my all time favorite actress and a person I greatly admire.  I've watched all of her films and seen her on the stage several times.  I can't say enough about her; I just love her.  Even her weaker films (of which, there are very few) are easy for me to watch. I have always been fascinated by her acting and her personality. 

All through this site, I will refer to Ms. Hepburn as "Kate". I take such liberties because, although I've never met her, she has been a big part of my life and therefore, I feel close enough to call her by her first name. Somehow I don't think she'd mind.

There was a time when she, through her films, gave me support that cannot be measured. I had just gone through a break up of my marriage and come back to Philadelphia with no place to live and no job. While I stayed with friends and looked for work, I noticed that there just happened to be a Katharine Hepburn Film Festival going on at a local movie theater. I spent all my free time, during that week, seeing all of Kate's old films and to this day, I thank her for the pleasure they gave me, as well as, helping me get through a particularly rough time in my life. That is why I decided to do this tribute to her.

Its taken me over 3 months to create this site and, all my time during the last two weeks has been devoted to getting it published. Its very extensive and because of how many graphic images are included, it will require some patience for viewing. However, I think you'll enjoy the trip. I had lots of fun doing it and I'm sure you will like learning about Kate just like I did. Enjoy your visit and please sign my guestbook to let me know what you think!
