From Booklist
From School Library Journal
Katherine Hepburn is, at 84, still the positive, feisty,
upper-class lady she portrayed in The Philadelphia Story . Her
autobiography, clearly not ghostwritten, tells some stories of her
life but not all–she comes from a class that didn’t let it all
hang out. Her 27-year affair with Spencer Tracy is discussed with
fond memories (the years together were to her “absolute
bliss”)–the idea that it was scandalous at the time doesn’t seem
to cross her mind, and she is surprised to find that Tracy’s wife
thought the affair was only a rumor. She seems to remember almost
everyone fondly–her wonderful parents; her loving, supportive
husband, whom she admits she treated badly; the numerous beaus,
directors, and fellow actors with whom she worked. More than 160
black-and-white photos lend credibility to her enduring beauty, but
it’s the somewhat breathless, positive prose that makes Hepburn
come alive as herself or as she wishes to be seen–an
uncomplaining, stalwart, lucky, admired, and “classy” lady.

With the publication of The Making of the African Queen in 1987,
Katharine Hepburn proved that she can number writing among her many
talents, and that her humor and intelligence, and the inimitable
cadences of her voice translate vividly to the printed page. Now,
with characteristic gusto and candor, she delivers her eagerly
awaited memoir. 75 photographs.
