With a career lasting more than 60 years, Katharine Hepburn (1907–2003) was one of Hollywood’s greatest stars and the long-time on- and off-screen romantic companion of Spencer Tracy.

In this Illustrated Film Talk, Wootton traces the life and sparkling career of this independent and intelligent actress, who defied studio bosses and social convention. Includes clips from some of Hepburn's greatest roles, including Bringing Up Baby, The African Queen and On Golden Pond.
