Katharine Hepburn. The best of all time?


Katharine Hepburn is number one on the American Film Institute's Top 100 Actresses. And with good reason.
She holds the record for most number of Oscars won. Her career as a leading lady spanned seven decades, over fifty quality films (running the gamut from screwball comedies and romances to high drama), and twelve Oscar nominations (another record) and four Oscars, three of them after the age of sixty. She formed memorable screen partnerships with the likes of Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart and director George Cukor but outlasted all of them and excelled just as easily on her own. A great star.
