A strange flower, suitable to any occasion
Just realized I only link to Laura when someone dies. This is mostly because she knows her stuff, but there's also my suckage to consider.
The only three Katharine Hepburn films I remember seeing are Stage Door (mentioned by Laura), Bringing Up Baby (which I saw for a film class back at U of I) and, naturally, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Not sure how I managed to avoid seeing African Queen, and I think I saw Philadelphia Story, but don't remember a thing about it.
But I do remember an NPR story about Kate Mulgrew portraying "Katherine [sic] Hepburn" from slightly over a year ago. Weird.
Nothing remotely profound to say about her passing, I'm afraid. She was a great actress (despite what Dorothy Parker might have said at one point), seemed like a wonderful person, and she'll be missed.
From George, a link to Katharine Houghton discussing her aunt. Guess I could look through the Margaret Sanger Papers Project to find the letter mentioned in the interview, but I couldn't even find a decent link for the Parker quote. . .

I hate when I can't find a link when I know the material is online somewhere.

Oh, I found a few links, but none of them really grabbed me, you know?
Besides, it's not a very nice thing she said. . .
