Give me the quick rundown on Katharine Hepburn. I read that the American Film Institute named her the greatest female star of Classic Hollywood. Can any film historians elaborate on why she deserves this title more than anyone from the same era?
Overrated. Ingrid is better.

Star? Maybe. Actress? Most certainly not.

She was the most consistently great and classy plus a proto-feminist. I have my inclination to joan Crawford and bette davis more but they have their campy moments through a lot of their careers. Katherine didn't really get hers until maybe the late 60's when classical Hollywood was over anyway.

She told the old studio system to fuck themselves, divorced her husband, banged several married men, and still made hit movies. Those Hollywood businessmen must have been terrified of her.

She and Henry Fonda make the most adorable old couple ever in On Golden Pond, you should give it a watch OP.
