It also mentions Charlton Heston. I was able to see both Hepburn and Heston on stage at the Ahmanson in LA during the '76-77 season while in college (the student ticket price then, in advance: $11.00). Hepburn recreated her Broadway role in A Matter of Gravity, and Heston starred with Deborah Kerr and Andrew Prine in A Long Day's Journey into Night.
The other two plays that season: Maggie Smith and Brian Bedford in The Guardsman, and Richard Thomas in Merton of the Movies.
Always hated the phrase "those were the good old days", but . . . . .
I never will forget Janet MacDonald, To think of here it gives my heart a pang, I never will forget, how that brave Janet, Just stood there in the ruins and sang, And sa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ang...
I'd do a Hepburn festival if we could include Seabiscuit and Horse Feathers just to be able to see something a little less horsey faced then Her Imperious Majesty!

SAN FRANCISCO, open your Golden Gate.......
To think of her. Dang.
A tender hearted girl who wouldn't kill an actor. Love it.
Let's order in pizza and do a Katherine Hepburn movie marathon! Chronological you think? Or box office?
