In 1907 Katharina Houghton Hepburn was born in Hartford, Connecticut to a mother who was a feminist as well as suffragist and a father who was a doctor leading the way in STD prevention. Katharine Hepburn is considered the best actress in the world by many and while she many longer be with us today, she is still loved.

Katharine’s parents allowed her and her five siblings to enjoy their childhood freely and as such this helped with the development of her acting skills early on in life. While she never did any acting in childhood, she would one day become the greatest. She graduated from the Bryn Mawr College in 1928 which after she would marry Ludlow Smith whom she met while attending the school.

Unfortunately as most things are, her marriage ended in 1934 by divorce. However, it is the experiences in life that made Katharine who she was. During attendance at Bryn Mawr, she also took an active role in the performing arts and even managed to appear in several Maryland productions. Shortly after graduation she moved in to the Broadway scene with her first appearance being in the musical The Big Pond.

While appearing in the musical The Warrior’s Husband on Broadway, a talent scout found her and set her up for a screen test. She won the role in the film A Bill of Divorcement that changed her life forever. The following year in 1933, she would take a role in the film Morning Glory (a film that you can still get hold of today at Netflex) for which she would receive an Academy Award for.

Hepburn returned to New York in 1933 where she appeared in the musical The Lake. This show was a flop both according to the critics as well as the audiences. It would not be until 1935 that Katharine would finally find her way back into films, but was unable to land any good gigs for a while.

All that changed in 1938 with the film The Philadelphia Story which she turned into a musical. She would continue on working between Hollywood and Broadway for most of her life and receive Academy Awards one right after another. She also won the Lifetime Achievement Award as well. Her last film was a guest appearance in 1994 and on June 29th of 2003, Katharine Hepburn would pass a way having lived to be 96 years old.
