Sotheby's Preview: Katharine Hepburn part 2

Katharine Hepburn passed away in 2003 at the age of 96. In June 2004 Sotheby's in New York auctioned her belongings. I've uploaded the episode of Sotheby's Preview featuring the personal effects from the estate of Miss Hepburn. There are seven parts.

...Philip Barry was a longtime personal friend of the Hepburn family....THE PHILADELPHIA STORY was based on the Hepburns.

The inaccuracies babbled by this Sotheby's woman are disgraceful ! Phil Barry's "Holiday" was written long before KH ever went to Hollywood. Hope Williams starred in the play on Broadway in 1930 and KH was Hope William's understudy. KH starred in Jed Harris's "The Lake" in 1933, not 1938 in the pre-Philadephia Story period. Jesus, get your furking facts straight. If a famous auction house is going to auction the personal effects of a well-known, well-documented personality -- and make massive amounts of money on it -- they mght take 5 seconds to check a few facts. Typical -- RKO couldn't even spell Hepburn's first name correctly -- on contracts, no less !! All of it, RKO and Sotheby's -- Disgraceful !

She played the same character over and over with the same fake accent her entire career.
