Publisher's Note Anne Edwards, the superbly gifted biographer whose previous best-sellers include Vivien Leigh and Judy Garland, has returned to the glamorous settings of those books in another sympathetic yet clear-eyed portrait that gets to the heart of her subject.
Industry Reviews "Miss Edwards, whose other star subjects have included Judy Garland and Vivien Leigh, gives an even-handed assessment of Miss Hepburn's virtues and faults as a performer and discusses the actress's offstage political beliefs and obsession with physical exercise. She also details the personal life that Miss Hepburn has tired hard to keep private--an early passionless marriage, a series of infatuations with men like Howard Hughes and Leland Hayward, and the famous love affair with Spencer Tracy, who died in 1967."
