 About Katharine Hepburn 關(guān)于凱瑟琳·赫本

     Katharine Houghton Hepburn was an American actress of film, stage, and television. Raised in Connecticut by wealthy parents, Hepburn turned to acting after graduation. Favorable reviews of her work on stage in 1932 brought her to the notice of Hollywood. After a few early film successes, including her first Academy Award, for Morning Glory, Hepburn endured a string of flops, which led to her being voted "box office poison". She arranged with playwright Philip Barry to write a play with her in mind, one that smoothed over her prickly public image. This play, The Philadelphia Story, turned out to be a huge success on Broadway. Securing the film rights for herself with the help of Howard Hughes, Hepburn sold them to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on the condition that she reprise her leading role as Tracy Lord. The hit film adaptation revived her flagging career.
     Throughout her six-decade career, Hepburn co-starred with screen legends including Cary Grant (Bringing Up Baby, Holiday, The Philadelphia Story), Humphrey Bogart (The African Queen), John Wayne (Rooster Cogburn), Laurence Olivier (Love Among the Ruins) and Henry Fonda (On Golden Pond). Her most successful pairing was with Spencer Tracy, with whom she made a string of hit pictures, starting with 1942's Woman of the Year. The last of their nine films together was Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), which was completed shortly before Tracy's death.
     Hepburn holds the record for the most Best Actress Oscar wins with four out of 12 nominations. She won an Emmy Award in 1976 for her lead role in Love among the Ruins, and was nominated for four other Emmys, two Tony Awards and eight Golden Globes. In 1999, she was ranked by the American Film Institute as the greatest female star in the history of American cinema.
     赫本在銀幕上飾演的角色通常都是強烈自信,敢講真話的獨立女性,而走下銀幕的她喜歡穿休閑短褲,討厭長襪和緊身的衣服,她也討厭化妝,"我有很多雀斑,管它呢"。她簡樸的風(fēng)格倒使她成為現(xiàn)代人的偶像,以叛逆著稱的芭芭拉·史翠珊和麥當(dāng)娜便是以她為楷模的。她拒絕飾演平庸、頹廢的角色,她不喜歡也不愿意去討好媒體,這個舉動在好萊塢的黃金時期可是件了不得的事件。因此她常常被媒體描繪為好斗的勢利女人,她早期的綽號是"傲慢自大的凱瑟琳"。在1991年她那本暢銷的名為《我》的自傳中,她為此解釋道,"我并不傲慢自大,我只是對于常識有著良好的判斷力,僅此而已。"
