Hepburns voice comes through loud and clear. While she was undoubtedly a demanding diva in her time, at the same time she was insecure and vulnerable. Terrific reading!

My complaint about this book is that is seems like she just sat down one day and wrote it all down. I guess I like either reading a biography from an outsider's view... all facts with little fiction to cloud the story... or an autobiography where the author lets you in as if you are one of her best girlfriends and you are kind of dishing. This is neither. It's almost too cold at times and then sometimes too much detail about how nervous she was about a certain audition.

I'm not sure what it is that makes all of these famous people think that we want to know the color of the dress they were wearing that time when they were 12. Seriously. I love Katherine Hepburn as an actress and really wanted to hear how she came to be the character she was, strong and quirky, someone to admire. I got 1/2 way through, and just can't take any more. The single most significant thing I learned is that she did not consider herself attractive, and she says that pretty convincingly. Otherwise, another privileged society girl who remembers (and recounts) way too many details of every last outfit, encounter, relationship. Zzzzzz....

This was a great window into the life of Katherine Hepburn, written by the lady herself. My favorite quote from this book: "Never complain, never explain". Can you imagine if more of us followed that idea?
