"The life of the indomitable grande dame of American actresses, Katharine Hepburn, is revealed for the first time in this ground-breaking biography by the author of The Secret Life of Humphrey Bogart. Hepburn was notoriously secretive and countless biographies that claim to uncover the real woman have done little more than whitewash her jealously guarded private life. Filled with previously unpublished information, Katharine the Great is top-heavy with stunning revelations, the most sensational of which centres on the love affair between her and Spencer Tracey."
