Date Sold 11/20/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 12 8x10 stills of Katharine Hepburn. She was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1907 to a wealthy family of good lineage. She was a very athletic tomboy as a child. She graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1928, and that same year had a tiny part in a Broadway play. She also married that same year, to a fellow socialite she met at college. She worked in some stock companies, and in 1932 had a substantial Broadway role, in The Warrior's Husband, and that got her a screen test for A Bill of Divorcement. She received rave reviews for that role, and the next year she won an Oscar for Morning Glory, and also played the lead in Little Women, and Alice Adams (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role). But Hepburn, while a magnificent actress, did not have much sex appeal (she often wore men's clothes, onscreen and off), and many of her later 1930s movies did poorly at the box office, and she was dubbed "box office poison". She had a major comeback in 1939 when she starred in The Philadelphia Story on Broadway (it had been written especially for her) and in the movie adaptation (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), opposite Cary Grant and James Stewart. In 1942, she made her first movie with Spencer Tracy, Woman Of The Year (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), and they had an affair (she had been divorced since 1934, and had had a much publicized romance with Howard Hughes). Tracy could not get divorced, but they lived together until his death, and they made many movies together. In the 1950s Hepburn, unlike most actresses, was able to keep playing romantic leads, and she made some of her better movies, including The African Queen, Summertime (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Suddenly Last Summer (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), and The Rainmaker (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role). She also had many strong performances in the 1960s and 1970s, including Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (in her Best Actress Academy Award winning role), Long Day's Journey Into Night (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Lion In Winter (in her Best Actress Academy Award winning role), and in 1981 she won an Oscar for On Golden Pond! Note that the items in this lot are from the 1960s to the 1970s. Measurements: from 7" x 9" to 8" x 10"Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
