The Timing Of A Star


Deb: This video posted by a FB friend is what influenced me to write Monday's blog. Above everything else it is a glorious account of an amazing and ordinary person and her extraordinary life. It is an hour and 8 minutes but worth every second. I was riveted. You may be too. Watch five minutes or the whole thing. The end when she talks about losing Spencer Tracy is killer. She is one of a kind. Truly. A pioneer.

  1. Wonderful documentary. She was one independent woman.

  2. She was, wasn't she Madge. Loved her spirit and her talent. As I opened this post this morning it suddenly dawned on me that someone might think I was comparing myself to the great K. H. which I am most certainly not. If anyone was talented enough and destined (if you will) to be a star, it was she. I was simply intrigued by the concept of timing. Just wanted to be clear for all of you who read this!

  3. I watched this documentary several weeks ago. She is amazing. I love her movies and I love the positive independent way she went about her life. Because of her, I love to say, "my hair is naturally natural" on those frizzy hair days.

  5. I always loved her. She knew exactly what and who she was and made no excuses. We should all strive to be like her I think. I can't help feel that when we lost her and other icons like John Wayne that we lost something very valuable that we can never get back. Celebrity doesn't mean what it once did and we as a society use that title too easily and freely today.

  6. i have to admit i only have time to watch a few minutes of this amazing looking documentary right now as i have to take mom into hospital for her zometa injection and then go on into Dublin to do a few messages for her . in the little bit i have seen this film shows me what an amazing woman Katherine Hepburn and her family were . i admire her mother for being a free thinker at a time when it was a lot harder to be so then it is today . .
    i also sympathise with her comments about being as tom boy as i was and still am the same .

    i agree with mary that fame is given out to easily to the talentless these days .
