From birth, Katharine Hepburn seemed destined to become a symbol of
the modern woman on stage, on screen, and in the world. Fiercely
competitive, private, and independent, Hepburn was one part Olympic
athlete Babe Didrikson, one part Amelia Earhart, and two parts
Greta Garbo. Although often paired with the greatest actors in
Hollywood - Humphrey Bogart ("The African Queen"); Cary Grant
("Bringing Up Baby"), James Stewart ("The Philadelphia Story"), and
Spencer Tracy ("Adam's Rib", "Woman of the Year") - Hepburn was
able to carry her own films like "Summertime", "Little Women", and
"Sylvia Scarlett" over a stage and screen career that spanned eight
decades. Her home was never in Hollywood (where she won four
Oscars) or New York but in Connecticut, where she died lamenting "I
could have accomplished three times as much. I haven't realized my
full potential." "The Movie Icon" series: People talk about
Hollywood glamour, about studios that had more stars than there are
in heaven, about actors who weren't actors but were icons. Other
people talk about these things, TASCHEN shows you. "Movie Icons" is
a series of photo books that feature the most famous personalities
in the history of cinema. These 192-page books are visual
biographies of the stars. For each title, series editor Paul Duncan
has painstaking selected approximately 150 high quality enigmatic
and sumptuous portraits, colorful posters and lobby cards, rare
film stills, and previously unpublished candid photos showing the
stars as they really are. These images are accompanied by concise
introductory essays by leading film writers; each book also
includes a chronology, a filmography, and a bibliography, and is
peppered with apposite quotes from the movies and from life.
