Immediately after I published the previous post, I remembered one of the moments when I really started to connect to Hep. I was researching women of the 40s for a project I was working on, and stumbled upon Hepburn's speech to HUAC on YouTube. In the related videos section was one titled "Katharine Hepburn Reads a Letter She Wrote to Spencer Tracy." I didn't even know who Spencer Tracy was, but I liked that it would be Hepburn being herself, and not a character in a film.
I wept uncontrollably for 20 minutes...
It is an extraordinary thing to witness, and I beg you all to watch it. It is a privilege to be allowed to hear one woman speak of all the guilt, regret, anger, and confusion that existed within her life's major relationship, but also of the awesome love that made it all worthwhile. The care. The giving.
Enjoy. Please enjoy.
And don't weep too much.
With a smile,
Moise
