She was quite the heroine according to my roommate/girlfriend back in Minneapolis, MN. My girlfriend back then was the daughter of a theater actress so was probably very much pushed into having an actress as a role model.

What is your favorite movie of Katherine Hepburn?

Mine is The African Queen.

The African Queen (film - Wikipedia)

I will second The African Queen.

it's a tie; Bringing Up Baby', & Rooster Cogburn :coolsmiley::popcorn::popcorn:

Bringing up Baby and Desk Set

the more i think about it, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is also REALLY good.

Ditto, plus any film she made with Spencer Tracy.

I have been a huge Humphrey Bogart fan since I was under 10 years old.

I've always admired how she played the role in "The African Queen"...others stood out too...most though, I enjoyed her performance in "On Golden Pond"...opposite Henry Fonda

it was classic

That was extremely good.

I love all her movies, but I love Philadelphia Story with Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart the best!

YES! another good one! great thread!

I think On Golden Pond was the only thing I saw her in.

The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, and of course, The African Queen. Hard to pick from those three.

go on amazon prime & check out Rooster Cogburn. she's alongside john wayne, & the 2 of them just hit it off on screen. it's a feel good movie, quite enjoyable & great chemistry

Philadelphia Story. That’s one of the all time great movies. It helped that she played her role on stage for two years before filming it. Also, Howard Hughes purchased the film rights for her, and she sold them to MGM for a lot of money and the right to choose the director, screenwriter, and actors. Bringing Up Baby is also great. It bombed two years before Philadelphia Story was made, and she was called “box office poison.” That’s why she worked so hard to make Philadelphia Story a success. It was almost twenty years before Bringing Up Baby was recognized as a classic. Her comedies with Spencer Tracy are also fun. When I was in college, the film society at my school had a Screwball Comedy Festival that included about a dozen films, including those two. I’d never heard of Screwball Comedies. Watch as many as you can!

I loved her in A LION IN WINTER. She won an Oscar for that role. Showed her impeccable timing and was a great cross between drama and her “brand” of comedy. She was in her 60’s at the time.

Philadelphia Story and Bringing up Baby. Anything with Cary Grant and Ms. Hepburn.

YES! Lion in Winter. My favorite too. Peter O'Toole, Anthony Hopkins, an excellent movie.

I really liked her in Adam's Rib. She was incredible in On Golden Pond. I also really enjoyed Bringing up Baby. My daughter loved her so much when she was little that I would say that I had a new movie for her, and she would get all excited. She would say, "Are my people in it?" Her people were Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. :)

Loved so many of these, but my favorite was "The Rainmaker." From reading her biography, it's clear that one of the qualities that made her so successful was her determination to overcome failed performances by going back each time for more instruction. She doggedly trained herself for success.

Katherine Hepburn won the most Oscars of any actress
 

My favorite movie of hers is The Lion In Winter with Peter O’Toole. Even though he was 25 years her junior, they were great together as King & Queen. When Peter called Katherine and asked her to do the part, she replied, “Do it before I die “. She had recently lost Spencer Tracy and this movie helped her. And what a delight for all of us!
