Wild Cat

Fiercely independent, aloof, and utterly on her own terms.

Katharine Hepburn spent her entire career defying Hollywood's rules — she wore trousers when women weren't supposed to, refused to give autographs, shunned the press, and lived in total privacy on her own estate. She was notoriously guarded and aloof, deeply creative, and operated with an iron self-sufficiency that kept the industry at arm's length even as she won four Academy Awards. Her comfort-loving Connecticut hermit lifestyle and her unpredictable, sharp-tongued independence make her a quintessential wild-cat.
