Common Sense ~ Integrity ~ Good Taste

In The Private World of KATHARINE HEPBURN, the actress stated, "I have written about things everyone experiences: success, failure, sickness, moving out of a house you love, and smashing up a car. But I'm not going to write anything about my deep personal life. I don't understand why people care about things like that."

Hepburn sailed, swam, golfed, played tennis, bicycled, walked, worked out with a private trainer ~ did her own gardening (refused to hire a gardener) and stood on her head each day for four minutes.

The New York Times described Hepburn's "characteristic feisty reverence for common sense, integrity and good taste."
