An ode to an icon.

Despite being known as Hollywood’s First Lady of Cinema, Katharine Hepburn was unabashed about maintaining a sense of self and independence. Born in 1907 to a doctor and a suffragette, she was encouraged to be opinionated and honest. Often described as a tomboy, Hepburn was an athletic and energetic child. She adored her older brother, Tom, and at 9-years-old, she shaved her head and dressed in his clothes.

After the premiere of her first film, A Bill of Divorcement, viewers were somewhat skeptical. The film’s director, George Cukor, remarked “the audience had never seen a girl like that—she seemed to bark at them. She didn’t play for sympathy at all.” But Hepburn approached her career the same way she approached dressing; with a no-nonsense, I’m going to do whatever the fuck I want kind of attitude because, “If you always do what interests you at least one person is pleased,” she once noted.

While working for RKO, Hepburn wore jeans to the studio. In an effort to persuade her to wear a skirt, someone confiscated the jeans from her dressing room, while she was on set. Her response to this violation of privacy? She came back to set wearing just her underwear and refused to cover up until her jeans were returned. In 1951, when someone dared to tell her that she couldn’t wear trousers in the lobby at Claridge’s Hotel in London, she opted for the staff entrance instead.
