“Gradually one falls apart as one gets older, and that is a bore. A lot of my friends are destroyed by being older; they just think too much about it. There’s no use thinking about it because it’s not going to change. So face the fact.” - KH (McCalls, December 1992) Happy heavenly 115th birthday to our absolute legend - We love and thank you for what you have brought to the world, filling our hearts with such joy. Plenty of Hepburn brownies will be made today ❤️ (Photo scanned from my personal collection; J.

A happy Katharine is photographed on set of GUESS WHOS COMING TO DINNER (1967) and also photographed for THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (on stage version, 1939 - reprint from my personal collection) When asked of her success in her career and her boundless energy, she would simple say to McCall’s Christine Reinhardt: “A happy nature.” (Dec. 1992) #katharinehepburn #smile #happy #mccallsmagazine #onset #behindthescenes #actress #thephiladelphiastory #philadelphiastory #guesswhoscomingtodinner #mccalls #happiness
