Bisexual Katharine Hepburn's Long List of Lovers
 

http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/sad/suru.gif I wish I hadn't read that!

Oh well, she was a wonderful actress and perhaps her numerous life experiences added to her talent.

At least she had good taste!:)

Sounds like a lot of b.s. to me!

Okay, 2 phrases I didn't want to hear put together : 1.) Katharine Hepburn 2.) long list of lovers
:eek:

She was beautiful in her day, but I wouldn't think she'd be a "go- getter" amoung hollywood. Maybe thats just me, but that kinda surprises me - she does have good taste!

She was one of the most independent actresses of her time. Given that in that day age age the media would never out a star, I have no problem believing that she would have that kind of list.

And I agree, good taste.

Why do I doubt the veracity of this book?

Even if she preferred both sexes, does it even really matter?

This woman's dead, but she'll be long remembered for her illustrious film career. In these days you got ugly chicks kissing ugly chicks in broad daylight. At least Ms. Hepburn tried to make it glamorous. And some people still look down on sexual preference? Please. :rolleyes:

For real. Hell, I'd make out with Claudette Colbert. :p She certainly beats Sandra Bernhard.

I've heard time and again that Judy Garland was bi (not that there's anything wrong with that) but it seems to be based primarily on the fact that her dad & a husband or two were gay and it "transferred" somehow. When you have a screwed up relationship with your mom (as Judy certainly did) you often form very strong attachments with other women to make up for it. That doesn't mean you want to sleep with them.

33girl-For real. Hell, I'd make out with Claudette Colbert. She certainly beats Sandra Bernhard.

LOL!!!:D

Marlena Dietrich's daughter was on Larry King and said her mother lived the same lifestyle as described in this article.
It would have been devastating for their careers and like lovelyivy84 said, Hollywood would never "out" them. I guess it really makes sense when you remember how the studios had their stables and who else could they trust but others with something at stake.

To me, the thought of Katharine Hepburn being a carpetmuncher (which may or may not be true) is much more palatable (um, ok bad choice of word there!) than her partaking in a 25 year + relationship with a married man (which has been well-documented)

YOU ARE SO GROSS! LOL!!!:D

I have to say that I never held that against her or Spencer Tracy
since his wife was in an asylum and being Catholic he couldn't/wouldn't divorce her. I hate it when I'm at odds with my basic belief system. I always looked at it like one of those grey areas...

OK....I can see all the other stars, but Judy Garland? She was psycho.

Weeeeeeeeeeell, Eleanor R was kind of ugly...
Maybe she liked the power of the woman!;)

moe.run-Don't you love it when a little thread like this takes on a life of it's own!:D

Now that I said it, watch it DIE!:(
edited because I still think of you as ARYA! it was so musical (aria not are ya) and you will ALWAYS be Arya to me.....until you change your dang name again!!!

You knew Judy Garland personally?

You would be wound a little tight too, if you'd been the family breadwinner since around age 10, had it made extremely clear to you that getting movies made was more important than your health and therefore were fed tons of pills, and got molested by LB Mayer. GROOOOOOOSSSSSSSS

nobody disses Judy on my watch.

Oh, and I don't think it was that Spencer Tracy's wife was in an asylum - his son was deaf and he would not divorce her because of that. KH was hardly the first or the last woman he fooled around with and if Mrs Tracy would have had a modicum of self respect, she would have dumped his ass, but she liked all the priveleges & prestige that came w/ being Mrs Spencer Tracy.

33girl, you were right. After ALL THESE YEARS, thinking she was insane! They were just seperated. Was Bing Crosby's wife crazy?
WHO'S WIFE WAS IT???? I KNOW somebody's wife was in an asylum!!!!:confused:

No. I've read about her problems and what she went through, etc. The point is that she wasn't exactly stable.

The point is that you didn't exactly know the woman.

Therefore, how can you judge?

You can't. Unless you believe everything you read. And OMG if that's true, what is the world coming to?!??!

justamom, I know that Bing's wife was an alcoholic.

Frances Seymour Brokaw, Henry Fonda's wife and the mother of Jane and Peter, committed suicide.

Thank you ladies! Growing up I may have confused insanity for insane behavior as talked about by my parents and grandparents!

I had romanticized the Tracy/Hepburn relationship. I doubt there's
more than a handful of movies with one or both in them that I haven't seen.

I know people think the Super Bowl has been over discussed.
I remember all the theories, speculation and gossip around Marilyn Monroe in 1962!:eek:
...and it's STILL going on!
