I loved her. Remember she took piano lessons in order to 'fake' convincingly, as Clara Schumann, the Traumerei played by Arthur Rubinstein.

Good night Kate!

She was all class. Real class. They don't make 'em like that anymore. May she rest in peace.

Do you have other confessions to make, or do we need to wait for another great actress to die?

One could always dream, couldn't one?. . . ( :

In fact I liked her aging self, qua actress, better than when she was young. (Then I could say that, predictably, about most great actors/actresses which had more than physical beauty. . .) She could put to good use, acting-wise, even the physical afflictions which come with aging. . . A pity nobody in Hollywood thought of making a movie in, say, 1975, with Kate Hepburn, Gloria Swanson, Bette Davis, Claudette Colbert, Joan Crawford and Lillian Gish together.

An unimaginable combination. Usually ONE star on the set is enough. TWO is dynamite. You want SIX????

Hepburn and Garbo were friends. They played tennis together in Ct. Now what would they have been like on the screen together, I wonder.

Favourite Hepburn performances?

ONE of mine has to be Long Day's Joyrney into Night. Harrowingly realistic.

And then Lion in Winter, of course.

And Philadelphia Story, for which she should have won an Oscar.

I wonder if one day we will feel the same about Meryl Streep? Somehow I doubt it. Hepburn was a STAR. Streep is just a wonderful actress.

YES!!!!

Well, remember Lillian Gish & Bette Davis in 'The Whales of August' (Gish was wonderful, wonderful) or Garbo & Crawford in 'Grand Hotel' (true, the script kept them apart

Stuff and nonsense!

Everyone should try their best to resist the Bush-Cheney attempts to silence the American intelligentsia. Where are the Eric Hoffer's of today? And if they exist, why have they fallen silent? Why are they cringing in the corner?

Sad times in America.

Time to speak up, folks.

So, if you love Simone Signoret - and who doesnt - put your head out of teh window and shout 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore?'
