Vintage Photos of Katharine Hepburn
On the late actress' birthday, L'OFFICIEL reminisces on some of her best moments of Old Hollywood glamour.
Katharine Hepburn was the ultimate embodiment of Hollywood glamour. Hepburn immediately rose to fame when she began her career as a stage actress which quickly launched her into the world of Hollywood. Her beauty, elegance, and style were breathtaking, and from her first film, A Bill of Divorcement, she was a star. Some of her most notable film credits include her performances in Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, The African Queen, and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
Despite her fame, Hepburn consistently led a private life far away from the public eye and news publications—she rarely agreed to interviews or photography that were unrelated to her films. Hepburn went on to have a 60-year career as an actress, including winning four Academy Awards and an Emmy Award. To honour her legacy, L'OFFICIEL remembers her life through a collection of vintage photos from her early career.
