Mann spends so much of the book criticizing other published biographical works of Hepburn that you start to second guess the truth of what you're reading. This book also serves to verify that saying about never meeting your heroes: Hepburn comes off as spoiled, hypocritical, selfish, and not someone you would want to work with.

I loved this book. A longtime fan of Hepburn I just could not put this down.

I just don't know if believe it.
Preferred the bio by Barbara Leaming, well researched, factual without claims that seem a bit too much to believe..well I might believe them but --listen, I always thought Spencer Tracey was haunted by something other than his son's deafness -- but being gay? was that really it?

I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I find it hard to believe that Hepburn would write her autobiography based on a persona that she created and that this book is the REAL story. (Even if she was someone else onscreen, which I do believe possible.) Katharine Hepburn was a remarkable woman, actress, activist. Her personal life is really none of our business. It's too voyeuristic to me. Check out her autobiography or Scott Berg's biography instead - both are much better reads.
