"With all the opportunities I had, I could have done more.And if I'd done more, I could have been quite remarkable"

I came across this image and thought I'd share a few images and quotes of Katharine Hepburn as a reminder of a remarkable and inspiring women.Her first name is often misspelled as Katherine, it is actually spelled Katharine with a second A. She was known for correcting those who spelled it wrong.
Admired by millions, glamorous, witty, a silver screen legend, fashion icon, forthright and outspoken and full of class. The intersection of East 49th Street and Second Avenue in the borough of Manhattan in New York City was renamed "Katharine Hepburn Place" shortly after her passing in 2003 . Hepburn lived in a brownstone - 244 East 49th Street which is close to the intersection.
I have always been captivated by Katharine Hepburn in her films and fascinating life as she was was extraordinary in so many ways.
I think of her as a strong women ahead of her time, eccentric, intelligent yet beautiful and appealing throughout her life and into old age.
I love her movies and unusual voice and still today I'm inspired by her dazzling career and eccentric style.
She was one of the few great stars in Hollywood who made no attempt to sugarcoat her true personality for anyone, a personality that was blunt and feisty with natural red hair who proudly did all her own stunts because the stunt woman never stood up straight enough.
