Publisher's Synopsis
"Berg..is an astute and subtle observer. The result is a memoir with never a dull page." DAILY TELEGRAPH For seven decades Katharine Hepburn reigned as an admired actress, a beloved movie star and a treasured icon of the modern American woman. She also remained one of the most private of all the public figures of her time. In 1982 - at the age of seventy-five - the four-time Academy Award winner opened her door to biographer A. Scott Berg - then thirty-three - and began a special friendship that endured to the end of her life. Over the next twenty years, Kate used their many hours together to reveal all that came to mind, often relecting on the people and episodes of her past, occasionally on the meaning of life. Here are the stories from those intimate conversations, and much more.
