After ''LittleWomen'', Hepburn unfortunately hit a rough patch. For a number of years, she was given unsuitable roles by RKO, in films such as ''The Little Minister'', ''Film/MaryOfScotland'', ''Sylvia Scarlet'', and ''Quality Street''. Even parts well-regarded now, such as her turn as the title character in ''Alice Adams'', Susan Vance in ''BringingUpBaby'', Terry Randall in ''Film/StageDoor'' (which provided her SignatureLine, "The calla lilies are in bloom again..."), and Linda Seton in ''Film/{{Holiday}}'' failed to break her reputation as "box office poison." Hepburn's box office woes were not helped by her reputation for being difficult to work with due to her HairTriggerTemper. However, 1939 marked her triumphant return as Tracy Lord in ''ThePhiladelphiaStory'' and the film of the play the following year. A long string of memorable films followed, among them ''TheAfricanQueen'' (opposite the equally legendary HumphreyBogart), ''Theatre/LongDaysJourneyIntoNight'', ''Film/GuessWhosComingToDinner'', and ''Theatre/TheLionInWinter''. She also made nine films -- largely romantic comedies -- with Creator/SpencerTracy, whom she met on the set of their first film, ''Woman of the Year''. The couple [[RomanceOnTheSet became romantically involved during that film]] and, in spite of Tracy's marriage to another woman whom he refused to divorce, remained together until Tracy's death in 1967. Hepburn categorically refused to watch ''Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'', their last film together, because the memories of Tracy were too painful for her.

** Also famously tied with Barbara Streisand for Best Actress of 1968. It was her 3rd win, for ''Film/TheLionInWinter'', while Streisand won for "Funny Girl". This was only the second time that a tie was declared in an acting category, and the first time ever that an EXACT tie occurred (in the Academy's earliest years, all one had to do was earn within 3 votes of 1st place to tie, which allowed Wallace Beery and Fredric March to share the Best Actor statue of 1932).

'''Katharine Houghton Hepburn''' (1907 - 2003) was, according to the American Film Institute, the greatest female star ever to grace American cinema.
[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Katharine]] Hepburn, or "The Great Kate," had quite possibly the longest starring career ever seen in Hollywood. Her first film, ''A Bill of Divorcement'', hit theaters in 1932; her last, ''Love Affair'', was released in 1994. For those who hate math, Hepburn was a big-screen regular for six decades.
Her [[StarMakingRole first real success]] was in the 1933 release of ''LittleWomen'', playing Jo March; Hepburn broke box office records as the feisty, red-haired heroine. Before ''Little Women'' was ever released, however, she had already won her first Oscar. She wouldn't win her next for over thirty years, but when she did, she went an unheard-of three for three on her last three nominations, nominated (and winning) in 1967, 1968 (one of only two actresses to win back-to-back), and 1981.
After ''LittleWomen'', Hepburn unfortunately hit a rough patch. For a number of years, she was given unsuitable roles by RKO, in films such as ''The Little Minister'', ''Film/MaryOfScotland'', ''Sylvia Scarlet'', and ''Quality Street''. Even parts well-regarded now, such as her turn as the title character in ''Alice Adams'', Susan Vance in ''BringingUpBaby'', Terry Randall in ''Stage Door'' (which provided her SignatureLine, "The calla lilies are in bloom again..."), and Linda Seton in ''Holiday'' failed to break her reputation as "box office poison." However, 1939 marked her triumphant return as Tracy Lord in ''ThePhiladelphiaStory'' and the film of the play the following year. A long string of memorable films followed, among them ''TheAfricanQueen'' (opposite the equally legendary HumphreyBogart), ''Long Day's Journey Into Night'', ''Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'', and ''The Lion in Winter''. She also made nine films -- largely romantic comedies -- with Spencer Tracy, whom she met on the set of their first film, ''Woman of the Year''. The couple [[RomanceOnTheSet became romantically involved during that film]] and, in spite of Tracy's marriage to another woman whom he refused to divorce, remained together until Tracy's death in 1967. Hepburn categorically refused to watch ''Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'', their last film together, because the memories of Tracy were too painful for her.
Hepburn is famous for winning four Oscars out of twelve nominations, all for Best Actress. Her next closest competitor, the great MerylStreep, has seventeen nominations under her belt -- fourteen for Best Actress, three for Best Supporting Actress -- and three wins, two for Best Actress and one for Best Supporting Actress.
CateBlanchett won an Oscar for her portrayal of Hepburn in the MartinScorsese's Howard Hughes biopic ''TheAviator'', making Hepburn the only Oscar winner to be played by someone who would win an Oscar for the role.
She was also noted for:
* Never attending the Oscar ceremony as a nominee (she did attend as a presenter in 1974).
* Rarely, if ever, wearing skirts or dresses offscreen -- she preferred slacks.
** And this was long before it was widely common or acceptable for women to do so... legend has it that one studio tried to force her to wear skirts by confiscating all of her slacks while she was out of her trailer. She responded by walking around the set in her underwear until she embarrassed the studio into giving them back.
* Being tart and abrasive, which led some of her Hollywood detractors to nickname her "Katherine of Arrogance." During the filming of ''SuddenlyLastSummer'', she was so disgusted with how the director treated another actor that she ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome spat right in his face]]'' when filming was over.
* Writing a best-selling book, ''The Making of'' The African Queen: ''or How I Went to Africa With Bogart, Bacall and Huston and Almost Lost My Mind'', a memoir of her time making the eponymous film.
* Her striking face and auburn hair.
* Her height -- she was one of Hollywood's tallest leading ladies to date at 5'7".
* Making a lot of films with George Cukor, with whom she got on famously.
* Being something of a DeadpanSnarker.
No, she's not related to AudreyHepburn. (She was from across the pond.)

'''Katharine Houghton Hepburn''' (1907 - 2003) was, according to the American Film Institute, the greatest female star ever to grace American cinema.
[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Katharine]] Hepburn, or "The Great Kate," had quite possibly the longest starring career ever seen in Hollywood. Her first film, ''A Bill of Divorcement'', hit theaters in 1932; her last, ''Love Affair'', was released in 1994. For those who hate math, Hepburn was a big-screen regular for six decades.
Her [[StarMakingRole first real success]] was in the 1933 release of ''LittleWomen'', playing Jo March; Hepburn broke box office records as the feisty, red-haired heroine.
