Katharine Hepburn by Barbara Leaming
Hollywood has produced many stars, but no one compares to Katharine Hepburn. She is the last of the great ones: a celebrated actress, a brilliant personality, an original.Barbara Leaming has discovered thousands of never-before-seen documents that finally illuminate the mystery of this enigmatic, fascinating woman. Based on letters by Hepburn, her friends, and her family, as well as interviews with Hepburn herself, Leaming's book is a family story that brings alive three generations of fearless women, personal and political crusaders who shaped the history of women in our century.
Barbara Leaming has also written biographies of Orson Welles, Rita Hayworth, and Bette Davis.
Barbara Leaming is the author of three New York Times bestsellers, including Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, which was published recently. The International Churchill Centre awarded Leaming's book Churchill Defiant The Emery Reves Award. Jack Kennedy: The Education of a Statesman, her trailblazing biography of America's 35th President, was the first to demonstrate the lifelong effect of British history and culture, particularly Winston Churchill, on JFK. Her work has appeared in publications such as the New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, the Times of London, and others.
