For anyone who is interested, Katharine was 78 years old at this time...she lived another 18 years, until 2003 when she passed at 96. A remarkable person.
When my grandmother was 78, she had another 20 years to live. If we only knew how much time we have, we’d be more productive I think. Katharine having been 78 here with another 18 years to go, I think she knew she was in for the long haul…knew it somehow. :) She seemed to just love living. Attitude is everything. She moved. And you have to move! You don’t have to run marathons. But you must move. You can stay in bed till noon if you want, as Katharine says here that she’d be in bed still if he weren’t interviewing her. But you still must move for a time during a chunk of your day and talk to people! Plant your bulbs :) metaphorical and literally!
James always put people at ease, much like Dick Cavett. Just lovely to hear a person of statue be so basic. Thanks for the post and thank you Miss Hepburn.
We had Clive for a book signing at my book shop in the City of London in the 80's. He was lovely and returned unannounced the next day and personally thanked each member of staff. A true Gent!
In her family history, there were others that did commit suicide. It's a theme in family history that few in families talk about. In her family history, I think on both sides there were suicides. She was the one who found her brother afterwards. I do believe it had a profound inner affect towards her that was a wound. We all have wounds, but she never showed her wounds except when telling the story of her brother Tom, her parents and Spencer. She was loved deeply because I believe she was a rare one. The people who loved her knew and valued and respected her runiqueness, her strengths and weaknesses. . But no one knew her fully. She was capable of tremendous giving and living, but also selfishness and a impatience with those who were perhaps weaker in someway to her. I believe she held much of herself for herself, and perhaps a couple of people in her life really knew her. When she talked about her dad hitting her because she was boring, I hurt for her. Yet she praises him throughout her life. She was always loyal to the end to those she loved Privacy in itself is a prize. Few people have it because they bear parts of themselves that only God and they should know about. Katherine Hepburn honored herself by always maintaining her privacy. She was unique amoung women, among any Hollywood actress ever, and I may be wrong, but I think she was truly a free spirit.
Yes . thanks for the reflection. I wish she had written a little more because the interview reveals lots . Today we celebrate the anniversary of LIFELINE -- a 24hr callup someone personal line started in Sydney by the Rev Alan Walker 60 years ago.
I believe she was a smart, driven, headstrong person. She lived her life as she wished. I doubt she was a lesbian. Who knows or cares. She had a great love in Tracy. Many boy friends, lady friends just a normal life. Katherine was a great actress and was bold. I loved that about her. ❤️
That’s probably the best Hepburn interview I’ve watched. Clive James wasn’t his usual self but he probably knew that it was a rare gift to have her sit down for an interview and he respected her and let her talk. So many others didn’t.
A great actress they dont make them like her anymore i enjoyed most of her films On Golden Pond was a very good film . Enjoy your long Sleep Ms Hepburn ❤
I wish this interview had been longer. Wow, he got her to speak about Howard Hughes - she rarely did that! In fact, she tried to get him off the subject, and then seemingly willingly launched into the subject herself!!
I loved this....wish it had gone on for much longer...I could listen to her for hours. "When you cease to be delicious you get dumped"....LOL That was so good and so true.
Clive James is a wonderful interviewer. Katharine Hepburn clearly trusts him and likes his Intelligent line of questioning. Consequently, this is a wonderful video, where we learn a lot about her life and her attitudes. Awesome stuff.
I’m disappointed that he didn’t discuss her working relationship with Cary Grant more. I love her movies with him, especially “Holiday”. Also wish they’d talked about “The Lion in Winter”, one of my all-time favorite films. Her relationship with O’Toole was a great one. He told some wonderful stories about her, too. It was her first picture after Spencer died. She’d secluded herself for years, and only emerged when that script was sent to her. And she won an Oscar for it. Absolutely brilliant performances by both of them.
Yes, I've only recently watched The Lion in Winter all the way through, and that scene in which she's alone, talking into her mirror at a dressing table, absolutely pinned me to the wall, she was so sensationally good ! Now, whenever I see that it's coming on, if I don't have time to watch the whole thing, I at least wangle things around so that I can see that scene again.
I've read "Me," a good read, as you say. I also found M. Scott Berg's book on her the most outstandingly written account of her life...and rings to be very authentic and sensitive. I can't recall the title...so long ago now.
'Well I wasn't (a man) so it doesn't occur to me'. You can see how attitudes have changed watching this....you must have thought about being a man when you shaved your head etc. So matter of fact. Interesting.
@@BlytheWorld1972 I wish she would be still alive. She was a great and sophisticated actress. It's sad that she's not here anymore. Death really took away a great woman. May she still R.I.P.
I totally agree with her about being able to die when your ready to when living is no longer living to you. This is Ivana Williams from Blue Mountains Ontario Canada
Well...Kate lived well into her 90s...reportedly in fairly good mental AND physical shape. I'm 55...falling apart at the seams. I have one friend....90 years old....who's more active than I am....and my 88 yer old mom mostly doing better than me as well. Yet...I remain hopeful....ever. (hopefully).
Interviewer: " What does it take to be a star?" KH: "I don't know, I've got it. I don't think it's talent. (Making a fist) I think it's just that you've got a nice hot motor inside you and it ticks away and your eyes shine and your teeth shine." Nobody has ever defined being a star like this. Hard work and zeal is everything! Great life advice.
What a FABULOUS interviewer!! This guy is brilliant, managing to sound totally conversational, while getting Hepburn to come clean on virtually everything he wanted... wow.
Clive James is one of Australia's greatest exports. A real treasure, a man of letters, a proper Intellectual, a poet. You just know going in that he will be way better than the standard hackery of 60 Minutes puffy profile pieces.
I really like Clive James, but Hepburn seems guarded in this interview. Watch the Dick Cavett interview with her. She was so relaxed with him. He was able to get her to drop her guard.
I never got it, I never felt Katharine Hepburn was a great actress. She tried to be domineering in all of her roles, I think she was very very very depressed. Like she had something to prove to everyone. Whereas Bette Davis was a real consummate professional, And you should have won the third Oscar. Hepburn, nah!
Hepburn's final film role was in Love Affair (1994). Critics commented that the 87-year-old had lost none of her powerful screen presence. Hepburn played her final role in the television film One Christmas (1994), for which she received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination at 87 years old. Simply unique. Katharine Houghton Hepburn (May 12, 1907 - June 29, 2003).
I love the sound of Katherine’s voice - you’d recognise it straight away ☺️ My mother was a Katherine with a ‘C’ (Catherine Rose) I’m the eldest of 6 children ,which included twins,a girl and a boy , and then our youngest brother, David Born May ,1958 - hello Dave 🙋♀️
Her enthusiasm is contagious. She reminds us how special and fascinating life really is. I doubt she ever took life for granted. The one thing I’ve always admired her for was that she lived her life as she pleased during a time when women did not have that option .Hepburn didn’t wait for the offer, she just acted and behaved as if the times did not matter, she acted as if all options were open. I believe they opened up because she didn’t view it as an obstacle. Yes she is tough but she is so charming that she is so persuasive , people were eager to accommodate her, if they didn’t she’d move on.
@@danielbisson8032 SOME did. I went because I expected a minimum of QUALITY...rarely disappointed. The film about the oil under the streets of Paris....painful.
She was born into a wealthy family, educated at Vassar, travelled Europe before that was a thing. Easy to find life fascinating when you're well-to-do. Also easy to have an attitude like that when it's rooted in privilege that knows no other way to live. She never had to live paycheck to paycheck, feed a family, try to make ends meet on insufficient funds. For her first theatre role, she bought a designer outfit and then couldn't understand why wardrobe wouldn't pay for it.
Remained beautiful,classy throughout her twilight years she had every right to remain private when it came to her personal life....Clive Anderson was trying to push the subject of discussing Spencer Tracy on stating she had a 5 year break from acting the reason was more then likely was she was supporting Tracy through his terminal illness which she obviously still harboured the sadness of many years on from his passing you can see this in the moment he asks her by her reaction when she puts her hand up to her face and by how pained/sad her eyes looked....Ms Hepburn stayed true to herself the reason her legacy still remains to this day
I recommend everyone read Scott Berg's biography of Kate, called, "Kate Remembered". It's a wonderful and incredibly insightful look into the life of an immensely private person.
Never knew who she was, then this genealogy site i am on informed me i am her 12th cousin twice removed? can't even work that out!. I am in the UK & relatives of my Great grandmother on my mothers side emigrated to the US in the late 1800s Small world!.
@@kevinparker461 Those sites that tell people they’re related to celebrities or other famous figures are ridiculous. Twelfth cousin? It’s meaningless. You can have thousands of twelfth cousins. It’s a gimmick. Genealogists don’t even look at anything past 8th cousin, and even that is stretching it. Hepburn had British ancestry. Probably half of the British population is related to her. You’re not related to Hepburn at the great-grandmother level. You’d have to go back centuries to find the most recent common ancestor, and that person would have been in the UK or elsewhere in Europe.
Listening to Ms. Hepburn is like listening to a wise relative, you learn so much. Mr. James was O.K, a little too chauvanistic, but he got a good interview.
@@gobnaitaine2791 She aged so much better than most of her Holywood actress contemporaries. I think that is one reason she got the good roles she did as she got older.
The morning that I woke up, and left for Loring Park in Minneapolis to start the festivities of the day as Executive Secretary, BOD, GLBT Pride Twin Cities, was the morning that the Minneapolis Star Tribune showed me a picture of dear dear Kate and the Headline "Katharine Hepburn Dead At 96". I walked back inside, cried for two hours, drank 2 shots, and got my ass back to work. There was work to be done and I was expected to do it. I had a good teacher. Aren't I lucky?
Actors like her, Audrey, Humphrey, Cary, etc. are often unfairly criticized for "playing the same role over and over" throughout their career due to their highly idiosyncratic styles that limit them from fully "disappearing" into their roles. But acting is more than just transforming. It's about bringing your unique brand of talent and personality into a role, which these legends did really well and that's why they're so memorable and highly regarded to this day.

In her family history, there were others that did commit suicide. It's a theme in family history that few in families talk about. In her family history, I think on both sides there were suicides.

Privacy in itself is a prize. Few people have it because they bear parts of themselves that only God and they should know about. Katherine Hepburn honored herself by always maintaining her privacy. She was unique amoung women, among any Hollywood actress ever, and I may be wrong, but I think she was truly a free spirit.

She is utterly fascinating. She is self aware enough to say, "My attitude invites sharp criticism." And some of the comments here prove it. 👀
I loved her. Golden Pond and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner are my loves--can't get better than that !!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely stunning woman.
She seems quite prickly here. I'm not sure she liked Clive James much 😅
One of the best Hepburn Interviews ever. Kind of shocking that it's been already 19 years since she died (June 29th 2003). She was great.

Love her snorts!
I used to think of her as over bearing but upon paying closer attention shes facinating!!!
She snorted when she laughed - so cute
She jus old scoo😊l
Class act in every sense of the word!
I loved her in Alice Adams, Suddenly last Summer, Lion in Winter. Summertime..
“ I can see you’re gonna tread too far just in one minute, so you better watch your step “ lool she’s a 10
At what point does she say that ha???
Pop Land 35:27
You can tell that she has high IQ and has high standards. Now I know why my mom liked her.
How ahead of her time with the cold baths! She was extremely educated
Well, not really. That’s an ancient practice, and her parents were the ones who insisted on it. These things go in and out of fashion.
Wow her parents were so well educated especially in times when women were denied those opportunities
Yes, her mother also went to Bryn Mawr.
I so agree with her comment on and it’s your time to go you should be able to make that decision
FANTASTIC WOMAN! SHE WILL BE A "LEGEND" FOREVER... BUT A VERY, VERY INTELIGENT "LEGEND" ...SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII..........
All of you who idolize this arrogant and bothering woman are really blinded by her publicity....OPEN YOU EYES !
I love how she talks about her parents, with such awe and magic. They must have been fascinating .
...if you LISTEN to the audiobook of her book ME....also talks about her maternal grandmother...who she never met.
@@glennfromthebronx Yes. Maternal grandmother died young, leaving three daughters, including Hepburn's mother, who was the eldest, I think.

She and Bette Davis. Knew how to get to the bottom line. Quickly

Cavett was a genius at that. He's had a few troublesome guests, but with Hepburn, nobody could have done it better:)
I wonder how he got this interview? Extraordinary.
RIP Clive!
Who - Katharine or Clive ?
Katharine Hepburn is good in small doses. Her shrill voice becomes too much after hearing it for like 30 minutes. She was a strong character though.
Most contagious laugh ever

I’m the eldest of 6 children ,which included twins,a girl and a boy , and then our youngest brother, David Born May ,1958 - hello Dave 🙋♀️
It struck me that any man that just punched his daughter, just for looking at her, would probably hang his gay son from the rafters.
Mr James was a wonderful interviewer. He never missed a beat, and had bags of charisma himself. RIP.
The 1 actor I am sorry I didnt write a fan letter to. I read I later years she read them. She is a brilliant woman.
She not only read the letters, she responded to them. I rec'd a few letters from her in the 1970s and 1980s.
It's not hard to understand that "when you sell yourself, that is difficult" she deserved privacy just as anyone else
For 78 she looked amazing, make up or not.
My favorite actress..I'm a tom boy and I always loved her honesty.
No one gives her credit for inventing self-branding. She said exactly the same things for 65 years.
That's right. She has said the same thing for 65 years.
HAK that’s not self branding it’s integrity, knowing thyself. When people choose a ‘self brand’ it’s pathetic and fake
Fascinating woman but I’m amazed at her lack of self awareness.
She was gay, she may have known. But it was not the time. An American woman that did extremely well. I love this interview.😁😁

Brilliant interviewer. Well done.
Actors like her, Audrey, Humphrey, Cary, etc. are often unfairly criticized for "playing the same role over and over" throughout their career due to their highly idiosyncratic styles that limit them from fully "disappearing" into their roles. But acting is more than just transforming. It's about bringing your unique brand of talent and personality into a role, which these legends did really well and that's why they're so memorable and highly regarded to this day.
True, their unique individually is why we are drawn to them. Cagney was wonderfully versitile yet recognisably himself...
