It was in Hartford, Connecticut back in’07 when Katharine Hepburn first made her way into this world. Her official name was Katharina Houghton Hepburn and is considered by many to be the best actress Hollywood has ever had. Her father was a doctor while her mother was a suffragist as well as feminist.
Because of her parents, her along with her five siblings had enormous amounts of freedom while growing up which played an important role in the development of her acting skills later on in life. By’28, childhood was but a distant memory to her as she graduated from the Bryn Mawr College. This same year also marked her marriage to Ludlow Smith to whom attended college with her.
Of course her marriage would not last long and by’34 they were divorced, but it was the experiences that counted. During her tenure at Bryn Mawr, she participated in the performing arts and even got roles in 2 productions. Soon afterwards, she would appear in a single showing of the musical The Big Pond on Broadway which marked the beginning of her career.
