Smith College

Born on May 12, 1907 in Hartford, CT Katharina Houghton Hepburn was the best of the best actresses that Hollywood has seen. Katharine owes her life to her parents for her upbringing that gave her enough freedom to be adventurous in life. She happened to meet Ludlow Smith in the college and she married him the same year she graduated. Then she moved to New York and began training as an actor. The turning point in her life came when she did a Broadway show in 1932 called The Warrior's Husband in which her performance was greatly appreciated and thus led her to a lot of screen tests. Until the year 1938 she only had two successes, one in Alice Adams released in 1935 and other in Stage Door released in 1937, which also gave her second Oscar nomination. But then this period included more flops than hits so much so that everybody started calling her box office poison . Her next movie was Woman of the year , her first with Spencer Tracy. This was just a beginning of the long association they had there after which lasted for 8 more movies and twenty-five years of romantic love affair. Her last film was Love Affair in 1994 in which she had a guest appearance. Although she was romantically linked with a lot of men but she didn't marry any of them.
