Beschreibung | Katharine Houghton Hepburn (12. Mai 1907 - 29. Juni 2003) war eine amerikanische Film-, Bühnen- und Fernsehschauspielerin. Ihre Karriere als Hollywood-Hauptdarstellerin erstreckte sich über 60 Jahre. Sie war bekannt für ihre eigenwillige Unabhängigkeit, ihre temperamentvolle Persönlichkeit und ihre Offenheit. Sie pflegte eine Leinwandpersönlichkeit, die diesem öffentlichen Image entsprach, und spielte regelmäßig willensstarke, anspruchsvolle Frauen. Ihre Arbeit umfasste eine Reihe von Genres, von der Screwball-Komödie bis zum Literaturdrama, und brachte ihr zahlreiche Auszeichnungen ein, darunter vier Oscars als beste Schauspielerin - ein Rekord für eine Schauspielerin. Im Jahr 1999 wurde Hepburn vom American Film Institute zum größten weiblichen Star des klassischen Hollywood-Kinos ernannt. |
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.
If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.
I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.
Life is hard. After all, it kills you.
Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I'm past that age.
We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.
Marriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about.
Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.
When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.
Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.
If you want to give up the admiration of thousands of men for the distain of one, go ahead, get married.
Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.
