ON KATHERINE
HEPBURN
Four-time
Academy-Award-Winning actress Katherine Hepburn was fired from several of her
early stage roles. She was criticized for talking too fast, was considered
ornery and difficult to work with and was evaluated as too bony, thin and
mannish to be on stage. Accompanied by her unwavering determination, she sought
the assistance of a voice and drama coach who nurtured her through a variety of
stage roles. Eventually, one of her performances drew great reviews and led to a
movie contract.
