Synopsis

A nice, personal documentary with Katharine Hepburn discussing a lot of her films in a little over an hour. She's actually more revealing than one might think and footage of the aged Hepburn doing daily things offers a nice contrast to the legend we're accustomed to. She seems very much the independent, level-headed person others describe her as. She spends a good amount of time talking about Spencer, revealing again more than expected.

In "All About Me," her own television biography, she said: "In some ways I've lived my life as a man, made my own decisions. I've been as terrified as the next person, but you've got to keep a-going; you've got to dream."
