'Me: Stories from my Life' by Katharine Hepburn

I know so very little about Ms. Hepburn. I know very little about roles she played and accomplishments she made in her life. I do know that what I have seen in Aviator. I do know that she was apparently quite a character. This is very clear in her autobiography. She prefaced it by stating 'this is just somethings I remember thrown together. There's alot I don't remember too.'

I feel that her age shows in her writings. Through the first 400 pages I see the scatterbrained, back and forth, tangential orgy that is either an 80 something woman or just plain Katharine Hepburn. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this is just how she is and even in her 80's she is as she always has been.

It was a nice peek into an era and a personality I was curious about. The last two chapters are less about her life and more about a deeper, human concept. She delves into the unconditional love she had for Spencer Tracy. I really liked the way she wholeheartedly gave herself to him. It was truly a beautiful relationship, at least from her perspective. I am thrilled to have a similar experience. Fully in love and giving without censure.

This 420 page hardback took me around 6 hours to devour. That's a quick read. The pictures were all appreciated.
