A netflix documentary on kathryn hepburn. Her life, career, and relationship with spencer tracy. Brash, independent, headstrong. Coming from an activist mother and a progressive, upper class father, it set up kathryn for a successful move to hollywoood. Combine that with a family tragedy that pushed her to be the best she could be. Interviews with kate and her brother. Bursting on the scene in 1932, 1933, she gives it her all. Some success, some bombs, then more successes. Howard hughes. Kate becomes a producer, wheeling and dealing. And much smarter now. Buying and selling stories, deciding if she wants to star in it, still pushing women's rights. It's good! Nothing too new, no big revelations here, but it's so interesting to watch. Directed by lorna tucker. Check it out. She had style. Like her character in "desk set", even while she was repressed, we knew she was destined for bigger things!
