(凯瑟琳·赫本传) Katharine Hepburn: An Independent Woman mobi 百度云 txt pdb 下载 lrf pdf 地址

When Katharine Hepburn arrived in Hollywood in　1932, RKO studio executives escribed her as　looking "like a cross between a horse and a monkey."

But she soon confounded everyone by emerging,with her high cheekbones and "natural" looks, as a　rare beauty. She also displayed both an　imperturbable sense of humor and an intelligent　sensibility: nobody on screen could be so funny and　so moving in making a fool of herself, or so touching　in reclaiming her dignity. According to George　Cukor, her friend and director of eight of her films,

she was "never a 'love-me-I'm-a-lovable-little-girl'　kind of actress. She always challenged the audience,and that wasn't the fashion in those days."

Her career, which spans seven decades, follows no　conventional pattern-from her debut, opposite John　Barrymore in A Bill of Divorcement, she was a breath

of fresh air. Her screen personae have ranged from　the headstrong girl of her early appearances to the　vaguely authoritative spinster of her later films; her　performances have won her a string of accolades,from her first Oscar for Morning Glory in 1933 to her　fourth for On Golden Pond in 1981 -with which she　became the first (and to date only) winner of four　Best Actress Oscars, from a record 12 nominations.

Along the way, she costarred with Cary Grant (in,among others, The Philadelphia Story), Humphrey　Bogart (The African Queen), Montgomery Clift　(Suddenly Last Summer), Spencer Tracy (in nine　films, culminating with Guess Who's Coming to

Dinner), and Peter O'Toole (The Lion in Winter),while her off-screen partnerships included romanceswith director John Ford, dashing young millionaire　Howard Hughes, her agent Leland Hayward, and,most famously and most enduringly, Spencer Tracy,from whom she was seldom apart for 27 years.

But she was always her own woman, insisting on　and retaining the respect of all who worked with her.

She refused to give in to the studio's publicity　demands, avoiding interviews and always wearing　pants off the set, With her fierce no-nonsense beauty-to which the 150 sumptuous photographs in this　book amply testify-her strong-minded　outspokenness, and her controlled yet sparkling　performances, she will always be one of the cinema's　most seductive illustrations of the advantages of

independence.
