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 wanted to be Katharine Hepburn-ish - there was a bit of nobility about her.

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.

Here's what's interesting about Katharine Hepburn: she was born a girl but identified as a boy, so she shaved her head and rechristened herself Jimmy.

During Katherine Hepburn's time when she was just coming into her own at 40.

I never wanted to be an actress who complained about the lack of roles for women.

There was no way I could live in Hollywood and not become an actress.

I felt no stigma whatsoever in becoming the third Mrs. Gifford.

I had no ambition to become an actor at all.
