Synopsis
By always being herself -- a woman with a mind and will of her own -- both onscreen and off, Katharine Hepburn has become a role model to women worldwide. Her legendary career, though, has been checkered with pain, from her unusual upbringing and the suicide of her beloved brother to her long relationship with Spencer Tracy, a love affair as tragic as it was beautiful. With wit and insight, Barbara Holland examines the unique interplay of public and private lives that has made Katharine Hepburn a performer unlike any other.
