During Katherine Hepburn's time when she was just coming into her own at 40.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted to be Katharine Hepburn-ish - there was a bit of nobility about her.
I admire those women who really knew who they were and didn't apologize for it. Katharine Hepburn? She was ahead of her time.
I think maybe my mom thought that Katharine Hepburn would be a good role model of, like, a strong, smart, independent woman. Maybe she steered me in that direction. You know, because she was really so ahead of her time.
I watched 'Holiday' in college, and that was when I had my first fantasy of being Katharine Hepburn, standing at the top of the staircase in a huge Hollywood mansion.
It's weird, because American films in the 1930s and '40s, particularly melodramas, were made for woman, from Bette Davis to Joan Crawford to Barbara Stanwyck to Katherine Hepburn, and for some reason we've taken a step backward in this sense.
My mother always said to carry yourself with dignity and pride, and I just think Audrey Hepburn totally epitomizes that, you know? From such a young age, she was dancing ballet. There was a lot going on in her life... that was during the time of the Nazis.
She was a handsome woman of forty-five and would remain so for many years.
I was 40 when I did my first movie.
My favorite Hepburn moment is in 'Sabrina,' when she steps off a boat in white shorts and a plaid shirt. Chic, classic, and unfussy.
As a little girl, I got to meet Audrey Hepburn, who took my face in her hands and suddenly make me want to be an actress.
