She was a beautiful woman who preferred using her intelligence instead of trading on her looks to accomplish her goals. She was rude, provocative, opinionated, and stubborn, but fiercely loyal to her friends and values. She shocked people, not because it was a canny career move, but because she truly wanted to live her life on her terms. </p> <p>And, I'm with k can shop in thinking she'd have been wonderful as Beryl Markham </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-from-kate-hepburn#post-910600 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 23:09:27 +0000 K. Period. 910600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love her too. &nbsp;I always loved that she refused to go with the flow. In my mind, I wanted her to play Beryl Markham in a movie adaptation of West with the Night. &nbsp;I can't imagine a more perfect person for it. &nbsp;<br /><br />For me, her arrogance and humility were the warring of her fierce independence as a person and the cultural pressure she felt at a time where women did not speak their mind (and&nbsp;did not wear pants). She was a force.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-from-kate-hepburn#post-910581 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 22:42:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 910581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ She is one of my heroines too.<br />I LOVE&nbsp;The Philadelphia Story. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-from-kate-hepburn#post-910541 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 22:13:11 +0000 Beth Ann 910541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love her!&nbsp; I find her inspirational, too, even though I'm far different in temperament and looks.&nbsp; Thanks for posting!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-from-kate-hepburn#post-910512 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:36:47 +0000 catgirl 910512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon, YAY! &nbsp;"The Philadelphia Story" was shown every year at my college, and my personal favorite is "The Lion In Winter" when she is Eleanor of Aquitaine. &nbsp;Yes, she was arrogant at times, but so regal and defiant and sassy, outspoken&nbsp;and independent at a time when women did not behave in those ways often enough. :)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-from-kate-hepburn#post-910479 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:57:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 910479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've always been a HUGE fan of Kate Hepburn's. I love her individual style, fierce independence, and strength of character. You have to admire the fact that she speaks up for herself and doesn't worry too much about fitting in to the typical female actress style of the day. LOVED her in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and of course, African Queen.&nbsp;<br /><br />As for her style? Androgyny superb IMO. I remember wanting to dress like her when I grew up. My Grandmother used to refer to her as a "handsome woman" - love that expression.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing Una https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-from-kate-hepburn#post-910478 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:54:51 +0000 pil 910478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked her in Holiday.

The woman was far too dignified. I think, Pink, Kate was from a world where there were an unimaginable number of rules. Not just those to keep you safe, but also ones to keep you isolated and your attention diverted.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inspiration-from-kate-hepburn#post-910351 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:47:38 +0000 Pink 910351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice.
