- Acclaimed director Mark Rydell discusses how Katherine Hepburn tested him on the first day of shooting of ON GOLDEN POND. Excerpted from CONVERSATIONS ON CRAFT - Episode 4. Hosted by Luke Yankee. This episode also features actor Edward Asner ("Lou Grant"). For more information, go to www.conversationsoncraft.com
There is a clip on UA-cam of the cinematographer, Billy Williams telling the same story. His version has a slightly more protracted and much swearier row before that conclusion. Also that George Cuckor had advised Rydell to resist any test on Day 1. Fun anecdote.
On Golden Pond. What a great film on so many levels.
I love these kinds of stories.
Katharine Hepburn is everything lol I love her
Mark Rydell was part of daytime TV history. From 1956-62, he played Jeff Baker on the soap opera AS THE WORLD TURNS, opposite Rosemary Prinz as Penny Hughes. Jeff and Penny were daytime TV's first supercouple.
Diva!! I love it! Love her
Great story! She was really "something!"
I first saw Mark Rydell, when he was acting in the movie "Crime in the Streets." He was a very talented actor prior to going behind the scenes.
EXCELLENT
Rydell tells it like he imposed his will on her, but Billy Williams said Hepburn gave Rydell fierce hell.
Thanks. But this was not the last thing Henry Fonda did. After this, he made a T.V. movie with Myrna Loy.
I didn't know that! Thanks for letting me know!

Doesn't he know where the camera is? He's looking all around like he does not know where to look.
It looks as though he is in an auditorium. He was trying to address both the questioner and the audience.
