...disapproves. He defies them and marries her anyway. Whereupon fate−that inconstant jade−does the couple in. There has not been such a wrong-side-of-the-tracks meet since Holiday (1938), in which Gary Grant announced that he had worked his way through college, causing Katharine Hepburn's jillionaire father to harrumph mightily...
Harlow and Hepburn. For Howard Hughes, things have always come easily; it is people that have been difficult. "I suppose I am not like other men," he remarked while he was still in high school. "Most of them like to study people. I am not so interested in people as I should be, I guess. What I am tremendously interested in is science, the earth and the minerals that come with it."

...already obvious to all the world that Hollywood is nothing but a sexist conspiracy, Washington's American Film Institute has gone to the trouble of collecting some glaring examples.

...makings of a classic confrontation-the convergence of four female stars in Madrid to film The Trojan Women. A concatenation of cats? A frisson of felines? Not at all. Playing mother hen, Katharine Hepburn (Hecuba) immediately put rebellious Vanessa Redgrave (Andromache) at ease by warmly embracing her when Vanessa arrived with her daughter. Meeting Senevieve Bujold (Cassandra), Katie called her "My child," to which the young Canadian actress responded with a deferential "Madame." Even Greek-born Irene Papas (Helen) was filled with love. Asked how she felt about working with her longtime mentor and friend, Director Michael Cacoyannis, she replied...
