From Katharine Hepburn’s 1981 interview with Barbara Walters | Old Hollywood

From Katharine Hepburn’s 1981 interview with Barbara Walters: 

Hepburn: “I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man…I’ve just done what I damn well wanted to and I made enough money to support myself. And I ain’t afraid of being alone.”

Walters: “Is that why also you wear pants?”

Hepburn: “No, I just wore pants because they’re comfortable.”

Walters: “Do you ever wear a skirt, by the way?”

Hepburn: “I have one.”

Walters: “You have one.”

Hepburn: “I’ll wear it to your funeral.”

Happy Birthday, Jane!: Who Wants to Tussle with Russell?

via stirredstraightup.blogspot.com

Nick and I got a chance to meet her several years ago, and she was fantastic. Still quite a tour de force well into her golden years. These pictures are truly terrific - if you ever had any doubts that Miss Jane was and is one of the most photogenic women on the planet, these shots should settle that debate. What I love is that in almost every photo of her, you get the sense that she's not only beautiful, but also intelligent, street smart, wisecracking, and underneath that tough exterior, has a heart which can still be broken - all of the things that make Jane Russell, Jane Russell. Happy Birthday, Miss Russell! Hope you celebrated in style.
