KATHARINE HOUGHTON HEPBURN (STRONG DESPITE THE ARTHRITIS)

FUENTE.

He was born as Katharine Houghton Hepburn in 1907 in the town of Harfford, Connecticut. He always praised his parents for their breadth of judgment and for the intellectual curiosity they instilled in their 7 children.

She never objected to her artistic concerns, and Katherine debuted as an actress at age 21, in a local show that lasted a week on the billboard. "At that time, was what is known as a" flash "actor, because there was not much in the jobs, but when I was in front of the public I was horrified and left without a voice," he confessed.

If his artistic career was subject to a hundred criticisms and newspaper articles, his personal life also became a kind of legend. Married once, in 1928, she divorced soon after. He then held romances with personalities of his environment, such as director John Ford, actor James Stewart and millionaire Howard Hughes.

When she was already a famous actress, she met Spencer Tracy, who was her co-star in a production of Jhoseph Mankiewicz. "I'm afraid to be a little more for you," he said when he met him, before which the producer warned him that tracy would easily match his height.

Not only that, but he was his wife for almost thirty years without marrying her, because he was already married and his deep-rooted religious beliefs did not allow him to divorce. In a television interview broadcast in 1991 by the network.

ABC, the actress pointed out that, despite her love for Tracy, she did not remember that the man had expressed the same feeling. "We had a very open relationship, my intention was not to break up their marriage in any way."

Irreverent and secretive, Katharine Hepburrn did not hide her thoughts, but hid the fact that; in the vast majority of his actions he hid a great physical pain caused by his arthritis.

Her independent spirit transformed her into a model for many women and in 1985 she was designated as the most outstanding American in a poll by the prestigious Ladies Home Journal.

His temper allowed him to prolong his career when many others already think about retiring. Neither the pains of arthritis and the ravages of Parkinson's - with tremors and hoarseness in his voice - prevented him from continuing to work until well into his 70s. On many occasions, and notwithstanding her joint afflictions, people could watch her trotting or playing tennis with her friend Greta Garbo, another Holliwood legend.

"I think all the actresses of the world looked at her with reverence," Elizabeth Taylor said when she heard the news of his death. "I never lived with jealousy, because I always worked with a lot of wit, grace and charm, I would like to help one day be like her".
