Rare KH movie hard to find online. For all Hepburn fans! Message me if you need any other Katharine films and I will be happy to email you them, as UA-cam likes to take down the ones I upload. I OWN NOTHING FROM THIS MOVIE. I SIMPLY OWNED THE DVD AND TRANSFERRED IT. I GET NO PROFIT FROM THIS AND ALL COPYRIGHT BELONGS TO THE COPYRIGHT OWNER. FAIR USE LAW.
I always thought that Hepburn overacted. To me she was more suited to do Shakespeare. I liked her in Desk Set but I cant watch her in Little Women
Audrey Hepburn won 4 Oscar s!so she was a great actress!
KATHARINE PLAYED EVERY CHARACTER THE SAME WAY... JUST BEING HERSELF. SMUG AND ENTITLED.
One trannee being jealous of another trannee.
People are fascinating.
Hilarious!
I used to like Katharine Hepburn until I heard her instructions to Anthony Hopkins, on how to act in a movie they were both in. Catherine was the veteran in the movie, and Anthony Hopkins was the newbie. supposedly it went like this she told Hopkins who was obviously nervous to stop trying to act, and just say the lines.. sounds simple enough. but when I watch a Katharine Hepburn movie, it doesn’t matter if it’s one of the old ones, or one of newer ones, I can hear that that is all she is doing is “just saying the lines” as a result, it doesn’t matter which of her movies, I am watching, her character never changes. It’s always the same person, saying lines, and that’s all. her method certainly is not like Brando or Lon Chaney, or Johnny Depp, or even Olivier. so hearing her acting advice that she gave to Anthony Hopkins, his forever ruined all of Katherine Hepburn‘s movies for me. Because I can see and hear all she is doing is saying the lines. Only the costumes change.
The movie is The Lion In Winter. If you haven't seen it, you really should, even if you have an aversion to Hepburn's acting. It also features Peter O'Toole and a very young Timothy Dalton
Lucille Ball often gave great interviews. She had interesting stories to tell.
Sounds like 💯% Total, deranged bitterness, regret, profound jealousy, anger, hatred, self-loathing, envy... 👎😩😵💫 NOT from the late multi-Oscar winner, Ms. Hepburn!!! But, from a comedienne, who NEVER could rise above sit-COM status... thruOUT her ENTIRE show biz career!! Ms. Ball: Ur comments & observations are most sad, pathetic & UNfortunate!!
Thank you for posting!
Many people don't know that Ms. Ball was a quiet powerhouse herself. She ran her own Studio, Desilu. And Desilu gave us shows like Star Trek. A Fantastic Woman.
Those Paramount $🐮s wouldn't exist without Lucy signing off on them, they were the 2 most expensive pilots @ the time & Trek had to be shot twice, NBC refused original (how we ended up with full Shat Capt. Kirk, Hunter refused to return & was killed a few years later, possibly from on-set accident). ST producer tells story of being distracted en route to wrap party, Lucy was sweeping, saying, "Oh, I hate for anyone to miss the wrap party!" MTM talks about working on DVD Show @ Desilu & hearing her boss laughing from the rafters, both were unknowns who would own their own studios.
I would be terrified of Katharine Hepburn as well. She was an amazing actress.
Her Hepburn voice and impression were dead-on! A bit strange actually, to hear Hepburn's voice coming out of Lucy's mouth.
The way Lucy did her mouth while doing it was hilarious.
Lucy does a great Katharine Hepburn impression ! 😂😂😂
I laughed loud when she did it!!!
and katharine's brownie recipe is still the best in the world. she was rightfully very proud of her brownies.
that was great, i 've never seen that before
She wasn't stand off-ish. She was gay. She was very aware that some people could be a threat because of her sexuality. Same with her close friend Spencer Tracy.
How do you know that? Were you friends with her?
Acting is a job and like any other job, some people who do it are nice and some are not. I used to be a camera assistant in Hollywood. All that really matters for actors is what winds up captured on film. From the old days, Barbara Stanwyck was supposed to be very popular with cast and crew - real down to earth. A good friend of mine worked on Murder, She Wrote for a couple of seasons and said Angela Lansbury was adored by everyone. But having a warm, open personality is not really in the job description.
William Powell talked about the response Myrna Loy got from crew upon returning to do another Thin Man, she worked @ MGM for a decade & was beloved, how many people were friends with Davis AND Crawford? Decades later she would work in television again with former co-stars Douglas & Wright.
I love Lucy! 😂💖
First of all, let me just say, I've seen the movie many times, and I must say I have never seen so Reading in all my life. But I will say this Katherine Hepburn was a very, very good actress one of best, she was also very confused, arrogant, and had know use for anyone who she saw as threat. Ginger Rodgers was her fear. If know one agrees just take a look at a rare interview with her on the Dick Cavette Show.
You're absolutely correct. I've studied this woman for many years and admire her in many respects. However, The Cavett interview was very disappointing and off-putting (RE: specifically her archaic and frankly off the wall views on gay people and society) She really was the walking personification of EGO. Another lady I studied for years was Bette Davis (absolute delight)... Bette was a huge Kate fan and she said that for years she searched for just the right script for a film that she and Kate could do together..but whenever she sent things to Hepburn, they were simply ignored. So yes, you're right... Kate avoided those that she saw as a threat like the plague. Katharine was a fascinating but flawed individual (...but then, most of us are)
You were a knockout, too, Lucille Ball!
Katherine Hepburn had a face that would stop a clock. And she couldn't act. She was BORING! As Dorothy Parker said, “Miss Hepburn ran the whole gamut of emotions-from A to B.” She is to acting what "Citizen Kane" is to directing. People are SUPPOSED to love Citizen Kane because it shows how high-toned they are. But it is a terrible, boring movie that audiences hated (and still hate). Hepburn was the same. People are supposed to love her acting because that shows how high-toned they are. But she couldn't act, and audiences HATED her. She was box-office poison -- for good reason.
She could act for sure. And had hits abd flops at the box office, loke pretty much all actors.
No taste
@@nealsims8372 I happen to agree with the PEOPLE who watched her movies when they were released -- not the critics. You may have noticed that often an actor or a movie gets high acclaim from the critics when the people say they stink. This is because if critics like things that are objectively good, they are no longer "special." So they show how highbrow they are by claiming to like things that are absolute rubbish. The critics have ALWAYS liked Hepburn. But the people knew her real worth, and the ONLY way they would watch one of her movies was when it had real stars (like Cary Grant or Spencer Tracy) that would make the movie enjoyable. Furthermore, Hepburn KNEW that.
@@gracianomaso3333 She was box office poison. Critics loved to show how sophisticated they were by praising her ability. But people stayed away from her pictures in droves because she stank as an actress. Her hits were films she did with people like Cary Grant - great actors who people wanted to see enough that they would tolerate her.
@@CCoburn3 She had hits. And was able to recover from flops. And the actors you mentioned had flops too.
i heard she was a lesbian....or at least bi 🤨
Katharine was rumoured to be bisexual. I don’t think there is any definitive evidence.
And?….what’s your point?
Hepburn always annoyed me.
One of the biggest lesbians in Hollywood.
Katharine or Lucille?
@@CanadianMonarchist YES 😉
@@CanadianMonarchistNOT Lucy! Apparently Hepburn ran in a panic away from John Barrymore on her 1st film, declaring, "My father (a doctor) doesn't want me to have babies!"
I always wanted to be Katherine Hepburn but from what I have read about yer, not a popular personl
"...not at all standoffuish, she just ignored the whole set..." seems like a rather contradictory statement...
Interpretation of what Lucille is really saying: Hepburn was an arrogant asshole.
Lucy was often not a nice person.
Nor are most of us.
I think Lucy was tough more than she was not nice. She was way ahead of her time as a studio executive, and as a woman back then, she had to be tough to be taken seriously. She also got frustrated with her son Desi Jr with some of the poor choices that he made in partners and some aspects of his life, and of course, Desi was cheating on her constantly.
I think that movie stars were a bit too full of themselves from the 1940s and 1950s.
I think movie stars from every era are a bit too full of themselves.
I loved Lucy!!!❤❤❤❤❤
It was rumored that Ms Ball was very cheap back when she had money! 😱😱
Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you! 😊
I believe the rumor. I read her autobiography “Love, Lucy”, and I can understand why she was cheap. When she was younger, there was a little boy that had an accident on her family’s property, and the little boy’s family sued them. Her family lost nearly everything in the lawsuit.
KATHARINE WAS A S N O B.
LoL
Well, real or not, they had great chemistry and I could see it in their movies. I've never seen anything like it in real life.
How many scenes did they ever play together?
From what I've read Katharine Hepburn was essentially a shy person around groups of people. Even in live performances. She was a shy person that way her whole life. She was not a snob. It was her way of protecting herself. As late as when Dick Cavett interviewed her for one of his shows her stipulation was that there would be no audience. I think her standoffishness on set was also part of this. I love Lucille Ball but I think straight out she didnt understand Katharine Hepburn but then many people didn't and still don't. She had bravado but she was intensely shy. It was the way she handled things to put up a brusque exterior. This is my own opinion but I think there is some reference to this in her autobiography. She loved the camera and acted to the camera. I think she might have also been trying on set to keep the atmosphere of her role around her, not to lose that. There are many notable actors who have done that.
Yes. It's called being a professional. Ms. Hepburn was there to work, and work she did. She realized that the success of her films hinged on her work and she was loath to put her name to anything shoddy or second-rate. Work was the course of an ordinary day for Ms. Hepburn. She didn't waste a minute and she didn't suffer fools.
Shyness most likely had to do with concealing her sexuality.
I think you have the basic introvert vs extrovert thing happening. I think Katherine Hepburn was basically an introvert and not a people person. Lucille Ball was an extrovert who loved being around people (and making them laugh)
@@megc1981 I think you're on the right track but, introverts are people persons, just in a different way. This is a good overview: ua-cam.com/video/acg6HivAu5E/v-deo.html
@@megc1981Lucy began as model & showgirl, she had to WORK @ being funny & learned from masters after 2 decades in movies.
My Mom looked so much like Katharine Hepburn that people would ask her for her autograph.
Picture?????????
Must've been quite a looker!
I think Lucille ended up being more famous than Hepburn.
Lucy may have had a few movies under her belt but she was a TV star whereas Katharine was a movie star who still has the record of winning the most Academy Awards for Best Actress.
That may be true, but only because of the enduring popularity of I Love Lucy. Katharine pretty much started at the top whereas Lucille scratched her way up. She made more pictures before I❤L than Hepburn did in total..
@@trudygreer2491Hepburn might have gotten the Oscars but Lucy was way more popular, more famous, way wealthier and ultimately a much more important name in show business for being the first woman to head a studio and for producing Star Trek, The Untouchables and her own television series.
Not worldwide, at least in south America people are more familiar with hepburn's movies.
@@jennyzarate7086 wrong again. I Love Lucy is *still* being rerun in several countries. I Love Lucy has been dubbed into twenty-two languages and seen in eighty countries.
Grandissima donna e attrice, riposa in pace Katharine
Wow Lucy's real voice is much deeper than I was expecting, unless it's just a result of age.
Smokes
@@num1Jaysta Chesterfields to be exact.
@@MrStinker4 Don't forget the diet of vodka tonics.
In addition to everything pointed out already, her very deep voice is also the result of projecting improperly to a studio audience at a higher pitch than she was comfortable with. For Lucy Ricardo, Lucy chose to speak in a higher, more childlike voice than her own but, due to her lack of formal stage training, did not do so in a healthy or sustainable way. Note how often she is noticeably losing her voice in the later seasons of The Lucy Show.
Ciggies and booze.
I'd seen it this written about but to hear this spoken by Kate, George and Mr. Costigan, the author, is wonderful. I'm very grateful thankyou for sharing. I'm only sorry Laurence Olivier wasn't part of this conversation
Astonishing. Never had any idea recordings like this existed. How did you come across it. And if there is more please do post it. Thank you.
That is just hilarious
her imitation is hilarious, i wish the entire interview was available! if it is will someone please tell me
I love Lucy. I can't stop laughing.
Not standoffish .... she ignored the whole set !
I love Lucy 🥰 but I adore Katharine Hepburn she was the epitome of a mega film, a complete queen and 💯 the crème de la crème
I've just watched your upload of KH interviewed for over two hours by Dick Cavett. The option to comment was turned off so I'm doing it here. What an event, what a journey....and what a great ending. I was so impressed with Cavett who handled himself and the interview so well. Hepburn was compelling, robust and fascinating. Still quite touched right now by how it transformed in tone from how it began and then how it resolved so sweetly, largely due to Cavett's impeccable approach and winning Hepburn's trust in the end. Thank you for uploading,
Thats exactly how I got here too
The Leo shaaaade of it all-LMAO!!!
Without Love is a great movie and Lucy and Katherine did a great job. I still remember a scene where someone asks Lucy "Dinner tonight?" Her answer was "I wouldn't wonder". I still love the first scene where a drunk guy says to Spencer Tracy "Let's not be stupid, shall we."
I just rewatched "Without Love." Lucy looked lovely and was a great character in it. Lucy and Katharine together = amazing!
