本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Hepburn 1907年出生于康洲的一个中上层家庭. 父亲是一著名的医生, 母亲是一位早期的女权主义者. 1928年大学毕业后开始了演员的身涯. 5 年以后, 既因在Morning Glory中的表演而获得她的第一个Oscar奖(最佳女主角). 也许上帝觉得她的成功太容易了, 决定磨难她一下. 她的第二个Oscar奖要等到三十四年以后, 当她满60岁的时侯才得到. (Hey, Meryl Streep, you are not 60 yet, still lots of chances). 一身共获得十二次Oscar提名, 获奖四次, 是女演员中最多的. (Meryl Streep 最近刚获十三次提名, 打破了Hepburn 多年保持的记录.)
不过上帝不是唯一要磨难Hepburn的人, 美国的广大影迷都要磨难她. Hepburn的长相独特, 性格突出, 不象Audrey Hepburn 那样是大众情人. 更令美国老百姓不舒服的是她是一个很傲气的女权主义者. 一直坚持穿裤子而不穿裙子. 一次导演一定要她把裤子换了, 她则在摄影蓬里穿了一天的内衣, 以示抗义. 导演把她也没办法. 另一次Barbara Walter 采访她时问她有没有穿裙子的打算, 她答道: “有, 等我参加你的葬礼的那一天.” Barbara Walter 还键在, 而Kate以经离广大影迷而去了, 我们永远也看不到她穿裙子的风彩了. 
Hepburn 在Morning Glory 以后演过很多电影, 但都因为她的形象和性格而不受欢迎. 比如1938年的Bring Up Baby, 是我论为非常好的Romantic Comedy, 但在当时的上坐率却非常的低, 以至于电影商们称她为”票房毒药”(Box Office Poison). 为了改变她的形象, 她的一些朋友专们为她设计了一部影片, “费城故事”(Philadelphia Story). 电影中她演一个非常自傲的年轻女性,最后意识到自己太过于傲气, 看始反省. 果然, 美国的影迷们非常喜欢这部片子, 好象觉的傲气的Kate终于低头了!
然而, 真正让Kate低头的不是影迷, 而是Kate深爱的Spencer Tracy. 她和Tracy 演了好几部片子都很成功, 如 Women of the Year, African Queen, 和 Who’s Coming to Dinner? 等. Spencer Tracy 是一个没有一点小资味道的典型美国男人, 当大家发现一脸贵族气的Hepburn被普通的Tracy降伏了, 总算是出了一口气, 也开始接受Kate了. 到了六十年代末期, 女权主义也变为主流了, Kate的Oscar 也就接衷而来了. 走在时代前面的人总是要付代价的, 可辛的是Hepburn 三十多年后得到了应有的回报, 而不知道有多少其他先驱者们一辈子都等不到世人的论可…………………
