It's Katharine Hepburn's memoir. I loved K.H. in On Golden Pond (movie); Henry Fonda was pretty good, too. I'll never forget what K.H. called H.F.over and over--"you old poop."(ha)

The Kindle price has been marked way, way down (to $1.99).

Book Description
Admired and beloved by movie audiences for over sixty years, four-time Academy Award-winner Katharine Hepburn is an American classic. Now Miss Hepburn breaks her long-kept silence about her private life in this absorbing and provocative memoir.

A NEW YORK TIMES Notable Book of the Year

A Book-of-the-Month-Club Main Selection

NOTE: This edition does not include photographs.
This book is OK. I bought it in paper when it first came out. Unfortunately, it's nowhere as entertaining as her earlier book, The Making of The African Queen, which reads like an intimate fireside conversation with the great lady. Actually, after reading both, I began to suspect that the Queen book was actually ghost written and based on interviews.
