Charles Higham
Kate
The Life of Katharine Hepburn
"Outstanding....A biography equal to its subject, warm, honest, fascinating."—Newsday
With Charles Higham, Katharine Hepburn first authorized a writer to interview her closest friends and colleagues about her career, life, and behind-the-scenes romantic involvements from Leland Hayward to Spencer Tracy. And she herself tells the deeply moving story of her twenty-five-year love affair with Tracy. Here is a vivid portrait of the most elegant, independent, and tempestuous star to grace the screen. Over a half million copies sold.
"Full of anecdote and revealing incidents of [Hepburn's] personal and professional life...rich with the wit and excitement of this bright and attractive woman. The story of the great love between her and Spencer Tracy is told tastefully and perceptively."—Los Angeles Times
"Intriguing....A pleasure and a delight!"—Houston Chronicle
"Beautiful....It captures the uncapturable Kate!"—Gerold Frank, author of Judy
"Distilled with the essence of Hepburn's pioneering life as a liberated woman, both professionally and personally."—Chicago Tribune
Charles Higham was Hollywood correspondent for the New York Times for many years. He is the author of the best-selling Errol Flynn and other biographies.
