Bisexual Katharine Hepburn's Long List of Lovers
Quote:
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported today that once her fans have read Katharine Hepburn's biography, due for release on Feb 14th, they will wonder where she found the time to make movies amongst the list of lovers in the book.
The biography "Katharine the Great" lists Claudette Colbert, Ernest Hemingway, John Ford, Greta Garbo, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Judy Holliday, John Barrymore, Robert Mitchum, Judy Garland and Burt Lancaster, amongst others, as her lovers.
"Katharine the Great" is an unauthorised biography, and it's author, Darwin Porter, claims that First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt also had a crush on Hepburn.

 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!

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

For real. Hell, I'd make out with Claudette Colbert.  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.

LOL!!! 
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!!!
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...
