In fact, my college class voted to ask Katharine Hepburn to speak at graduation - naturally, we didn't get her. If I recall, it was a female priest.

And I'm interested in that last interview. Wasn't that also the title of her autobiography? I'm pretty sure that I read that back in the day. Search says it came out in 1993.

It's going to rain like hell here tonight, so it might be a movie to watch.

She was so beautiful, so smart, sharp, tough, waspish, and brilliant.

The whole cast was astonishingly gifted, and only Peter O'Toole could serve as an effective foil for her in the role of Henry II.
