Happy Birthday Katharine Hepburn!

Note: The Blogger system was down for most of the evening of May 12th, during the time I typically write and post my entries.  The following is what I had written and intended to post for the day.

Today is Katharine Hepburn’s birthday, and if she were still alive she’d be 104.  As it were, she died at the age of 96 and lived a spectacular life.  In a word, she was indefatigable, and one of my heroines.   I’d make a list of the ways she’s admirable but most of the points I would’ve made are compiled in this link.  One thing I'd like to draw more attention to is the fact that most of my peers think of the doe-eyed darling Audrey when it comes to the surname Hepburn-- especially when it comes to making with some serious sartorial statements (too much alliteration?).  But Katharine Hepburn made some of her own by opting to wear pants instead of dresses to her movie premieres, and I rather like that; I've written before of how I dislike wearing skirts.
