Katharine Hepburn

Cold sober, I find myself absolutely fascinating.

The tumblr source dedicated to four time Oscar winning actress, Katharine Hepburn. Use the links above to search past posts by category. Launched 2009. Maintained by stardustmelody, frivolouswhim, e-pic, and twinspeaks.

life: In 1951, two of the world’s most beloved, best-paid stars, Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, followed director John Huston to a most un-Hollywood location: the sweltering jungle around the Ruki River, in the Belgian Congo. There, they spent seven weeks filming The African Queen, the WWI-set tale of a hard-drinking riverboat captain (Bogart) and his journey with a prim Christian missionary (Hepburn). LIFE photographer Eliot Elisofon was there, capturing the legends between takes on the arduous shoot. Now, in celebration of the film’s 60th anniversary — it premiered in Los Angeles on December 23, 1951 — LIFE presents a glimpse inside the making of a film classic, including some never-before-seen images.
