They have wanted to work together since the mid-1970s, but Nick Nolte, 42, and Katharine Hepburn, 73, did not get a chance until The Ultimate Solution of Grace Quigley, a black comedy now filming in New York City. Behind the cameras, Nolte discovered that the real Hepburn was every bit as feisty as her on-screen persona.

Scores of famous names flutter effortlessly from Selznick's pages: Anita Loos, Irving Thalberg, Sam Goldwyn, Janet Gaynor, Katharine Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Greta Garbo and Uncle William, known at the office as Mr. Hearst. Banker-Politician Averell Harriman coached her in bridge and croquet, and Howard Hughes wanted her to be his "woman friend" because, as Go-Between Gary Grant suggested, she was a "tested product...
