  Funny, moving and provocative, Me is Katherine Hepburn's long-awaited memoir. With characteristic gusto and candour, Hepburn reflects on her childhood and youthful misadventures. She tells us about the ups and downs of her career, her early experience in the theatre and her rise to stardom. She describes her warm and sometimes stormy relationships with David Lean, Howard Hughes, Cary Grant and Louis B. Mayer. And in a book pervaded with love - love of parents, love of family, being loved and loving - she tells us about the love of her life: Spencer Tracy. 'She writes as she has lived - with magnificent disregard for convention ...the narrative crackles like a machine-gun fired from the hip ...' - Bryan Forbes in the Sunday Express .

  Katharine Hepburn's autobiography provides an insight into her public and private life. The conflicts and contradictions between her performing personality - which she refers to as The Creature - and her real self, are revealed. She reflects on her childhood and her family, her early days in New York and her experiences with political activism. She talks about the importance to her of her beloved country home, the ups and downs of her career, her long friendship with Spencer Tracy and, of course, her close collaborations with several of the leading actors, directors and producers of the past 60 years. The book is illustrated with photographs from her private collection.
