As perfectionist as she was determined, rebellious as she was talented, actress Katharine Hepburn has remained a Hollywood legend as an independent and atypical icon. Her portrait will air this Sunday, May 11 at 10:55 p.m. on Arte, and will then remain available for catch-up viewing on the arte.tv platform.
She may not have had the sweetest face, the most suave voice, or the most sensual figure. Yet, Katharine Hepburn rose to the pantheon of Hollywood's golden age of cinema. Lorna Tucker's portrait of her follows her artistic journey and anchors her successes and failures in the joys and torments of her personal life. With sympathy but without complacency. Archival images are interwoven with testimonies from loved ones, enriched with interviews with the actress herself.
