I always thought that Hepburn overacted. To me she was more suited to do Shakespeare. I liked her in Desk Set but I cant watch her in Little Women

Audrey Hepburn won 4 Oscar s!so she was a great actress!

KATHARINE PLAYED EVERY CHARACTER THE SAME WAY... JUST BEING HERSELF. SMUG AND ENTITLED.

One trannee being jealous of another trannee.

People are fascinating.

Hilarious!

I used to like Katharine Hepburn until I heard her instructions to Anthony Hopkins, on how to act in a movie they were both in. Catherine was the veteran in the movie, and Anthony Hopkins was the newbie. supposedly it went like this she told Hopkins who was obviously nervous to stop trying to act, and just say the lines.. sounds simple enough. but when I watch a Katharine Hepburn movie, it doesn’t matter if it’s one of the old ones, or one of newer ones, I can hear that that is all she is doing is “just saying the lines” as a result, it doesn’t matter which of her movies, I am watching, her character never changes. It’s always the same person, saying lines, and that’s all. her method certainly is not like Brando or Lon Chaney, or Johnny Depp, or even Olivier. so hearing her acting advice that she gave to Anthony Hopkins, his forever ruined all of Katherine Hepburn‘s movies for me. Because I can see and hear all she is doing is saying the lines. Only the costumes change.

Well, she was a lesbian you know?

Lucille Ball often gave great interviews. She had interesting stories to tell.

Sounds like 💯% Total, deranged bitterness, regret, profound jealousy, anger, hatred, self-loathing, envy... 👎😩😵‍💫 NOT from the late multi-Oscar winner, Ms. Hepburn!!! But, from a comedienne, who NEVER could rise above sit-COM status... thruOUT her ENTIRE show biz career!! Ms. Ball: Ur comments & observations are most sad, pathetic & UNfortunate!!

Thank you for posting!

Many people don't know that Ms. Ball was a quiet powerhouse herself. She ran her own Studio, Desilu. And Desilu gave us shows like Star Trek. A Fantastic Woman.

I would be terrified of Katharine Hepburn as well. She was an amazing actress.

Her Hepburn voice and impression were dead-on! A bit strange actually, to hear Hepburn's voice coming out of Lucy's mouth.

Lucy does a great Katharine Hepburn impression ! 😂😂😂

and katharine's brownie recipe is still the best in the world. she was rightfully very proud of her brownies.

that was great, i 've never seen that before

She wasn't stand off-ish. She was gay. She was very aware that some people could be a threat because of her sexuality. Same with her close friend Spencer Tracy.

Acting is a job and like any other job, some people who do it are nice and some are not. I used to be a camera assistant in Hollywood. All that really matters for actors is what winds up captured on film. From the old days, Barbara Stanwyck was supposed to be very popular with cast and crew - real down to earth. A good friend of mine worked on Murder, She Wrote for a couple of seasons and said Angela Lansbury was adored by everyone. But having a warm, open personality is not really in the job description.

I love Lucy! 😂💖

First of all, let me just say, I've seen the movie many times, and I must say I have never seen so Reading in all my life. But I will say this Katherine Hepburn was a very, very good actress one of best, she was also very confused, arrogant, and had know use for anyone who she saw as threat. Ginger Rodgers was her fear. If know one agrees just take a look at a rare interview with her on the Dick Cavette Show.

You were a knockout, too, Lucille Ball!

Katherine Hepburn had a face that would stop a clock. And she couldn't act. She was BORING! As Dorothy Parker said, “Miss Hepburn ran the whole gamut of emotions-from A to B.” She is to acting what "Citizen Kane" is to directing. People are SUPPOSED to love Citizen Kane because it shows how high-toned they are. But it is a terrible, boring movie that audiences hated (and still hate). Hepburn was the same. People are supposed to love her acting because that shows how high-toned they are. But she couldn't act, and audiences HATED her. She was box-office poison -- for good reason.

i heard she was a lesbian....or at least bi 🤨

Hepburn always annoyed me.

One of the biggest lesbians in Hollywood.

I always wanted to be Katherine Hepburn but from what I have read about yer, not a popular personl

"...not at all standoffuish, she just ignored the whole set..." seems like a rather contradictory statement...

Interpretation of what Lucille is really saying: Hepburn was an arrogant asshole.

Lucy was often not a nice person.

I think that movie stars were a bit too full of themselves from the 1940s and 1950s.

I loved Lucy!!!❤❤❤❤❤

It was rumored that Ms Ball was very cheap back when she had money! 😱😱

KATHARINE WAS A S N O B.

LoL

Well, real or not, they had great chemistry and I could see it in their movies. I've never seen anything like it in real life.

From what I've read Katharine Hepburn was essentially a shy person around groups of people. Even in live performances. She was a shy person that way her whole life. She was not a snob. It was her way of protecting herself. As late as when Dick Cavett interviewed her for one of his shows her stipulation was that there would be no audience. I think her standoffishness on set was also part of this. I love Lucille Ball but I think straight out she didnt understand Katharine Hepburn but then many people didn't and still don't. She had bravado but she was intensely shy. It was the way she handled things to put up a brusque exterior. This is my own opinion but I think there is some reference to this in her autobiography. She loved the camera and acted to the camera. I think she might have also been trying on set to keep the atmosphere of her role around her, not to lose that. There are many notable actors who have done that.

My Mom looked so much like Katharine Hepburn that people would ask her for her autograph.

I think Lucille ended up being more famous than Hepburn.

Grandissima donna e attrice, riposa in pace Katharine

Wow Lucy's real voice is much deeper than I was expecting, unless it's just a result of age.

I'd seen it this written about but to hear this spoken by Kate, George and Mr. Costigan, the author, is wonderful. I'm very grateful thankyou for sharing. I'm only sorry Laurence Olivier wasn't part of this conversation

Astonishing. Never had any idea recordings like this existed. How did you come across it. And if there is more please do post it. Thank you.

That is just hilarious

I always have cold and a bit depressive feeling when I watch Katherine Hapburn, I hate that kind of people,they are seemingly superior and perfect but actually sterile and rigid,I like tough people but not people with superiority complex,they are pathetic.

her imitation is hilarious, i wish the entire interview was available! if it is will someone please tell me

I love Lucy. I can't stop laughing.

Not standoffish .... she ignored the whole set !

I love Lucy 🥰 but I adore Katharine Hepburn she was the epitome of a mega film, a complete queen and 💯 the crème de la crème

I've just watched your upload of KH interviewed for over two hours by Dick Cavett. The option to comment was turned off so I'm doing it here. What an event, what a journey....and what a great ending. I was so impressed with Cavett who handled himself and the interview so well. Hepburn was compelling, robust and fascinating. Still quite touched right now by how it transformed in tone from how it began and then how it resolved so sweetly, largely due to Cavett's impeccable approach and winning Hepburn's trust in the end. Thank you for uploading,
