Ms. Hepburn is the main character of this autobiography. Born in Hartford, Katharine's parents are Thomas and Katharine Hepburn. She has three brothers, Tom, Dick and Bob. She has two sisters, Marion and Peg. When she is fourteen years old Ms. Hepburn finds her oldest brother Tom dead from an accidental hanging. She has trouble in school after Tom's death but finally graduates and moves to Boston to go to college at Bryn Mawr. After college, Ms. Hepburn is given her first acting job by Edwin Knopf. While in New York taking voice lessons for this job, Ms. Hepburn meets her future husband, Ludlow Smith. She and Luddy separate and soon divorce while she is commuting to and from Hollywood making movies. After divorcing Luddy, Ms. Hepburn dates Leland Hayward and Howard Hughes. Both of these relationships end because Ms. Hepburn puts her career ahead of anything or anyone.
