Charlotte Chandler, whose previous biographies have focused on Bette Davis and Alfred Hitchcock, offers a glimpse into the world of Hollywood legend Hepburn, based on the author’s personal recordings of interviews, alongside recollections from friends and co-stars including George Cukor and Cary Grant.

Hepburn’s interviews are so engaging you can almost hear her regal voice revealing the highs and lows of her life, including her countless award nominations, her brother’s apparent suicide and her much-talked-about affairs with Howard Hughes and Spencer Tracy. This would be a fantastic addition to the bookshelf of fans and film buffs alike.
