LOS ANGELES (AP) - Over her long and storied career, which included 12 Academy Award nominations and a record four wins for best actress, Katharine Hepburn personified a peculiarly American, dignified grit.
And with her 100th birthday approaching on Saturday, she's being celebrated for the Kate we knew, even as hidden elements of her personality continue to surface.
Turner Classic Movies is remembering Hepburn, who died in June 2003 at 96, by showing several of her films this week from her 1932 debut, "A Bill of Divorcement," to 1967's "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," which earned her the second of her Oscars.
