...years after being labeled "box-office poison," Katharine Hepburn returned to Hollywood, starring in the film version of the Philip Barry comedy she had performed in on Broadway. Cannily, she let her character be pushed around--literally, by Cary Grant--while radiating a patrician glow even Cate Blanchett couldn't match.

"We hypothesize they can stabilize their lives and get onto a better path," says Dr. Martin Schechter...
...reveals some of the mischief done to Wong characters: she was buried alive in The Devil Dancer, fatally impaled on knives in Song, shot dead in Piccadilly, Daughter of the Dragon and Lady from Chungking.
