Katharine Hepburn: From Box-Office Poison to Oscar Powerhouse
Katharine Hepburn’s film career covered six decades and included everything from screwball comedies and westerns to Shakespeare and other literary drama. Over those 60 years, she won four Academy Awards for Best Actress, a record that remains unbroken to this day. In this course, we’ll examine six of her classic movies (The Philadelphia Story; Woman of the Year; The African Queen; Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?; The Lion in Winter; On Golden Pond) and two lesser-known films (Alice Adams; The Sea of Grass).
