Katharine Hepburn

There are two Hepburns in Hollywood. One is Audrey Hepburn, the other is Katharine Hepburn. The first movie that she caught my attention was Woman of the Year, which she opposited Spencer Tracy.
I bought a biography on her called Beauty and Sadness. She's so confident and charming.
The only female that I would admit beautiful are Vivien Leigh, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly and Katharine Hepburn. They each has their own kind of beauty. If Grace is graceful, then Katharine is charismatic.
I will talk more about her after finishing reading her biography.

Gone with the Wind Trailer

The collection of Vivien Leigh includes
1. Gone with the Wind (1939) (with Clark Gable and is one of my favourites)
2. Waterloo Bridge (1940)
3. A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) (I'm sorry but I think it's boring)
4. Fire Over England (1937)
5. Anna Karenina (1948)
6. That Hamilton Woman (1941)
7. Dark Journey (1937)
8. Sidewalks of London (1938)
9. Storm In A Teacup (1937)

I havne't finished watching all yet. But I found the acting by Cary Grant was versatile. He can act a variety of characters.
I realized that I prefer Cary Grant and James Stewart much more than Marlon Brando (coz his role in A Streetcar Named Desire was destructive). And I like Katharine Hepburn more and more because her roles are lighter. They make you feel happy.

Bringing Up Baby (1938)

Bringing Up Baby (1938) Trailer

A comedy by Cary Grant & Katharine Hepburn. The centre of the story is a leopard named Baby. They called to zoo to take it but have to find it back for her aunt. And then their tamed leopard was mixed up with another wild leopard from the zoo. Their acting are a bit exaggerated, but funny to watch!
I watched the other films co-acted by them, too. For example, the Holiday, the Philadelphia Story. All are terrific!

BA

Watched Music & Lyrics (2007). It's a cheesy story.
In Garfield (2004), the main character is proposing to his girlfriend. The the bell boy helped him to make things right. The scene is funny because the bell boy said, "That makes you Hugh Grant."
And then with more tips, he said, "Ah ha! That's Cary Grant!"

Saw a DVD (£12.99) which includes 4 movies of Cary Grant. It also starred Katherine Hepburn.
