Today is Katharine Hepburn’s 114th birthday.  I tried to narrow down my favorite film of hers, but I couldn’t.  If you haven’t seen “A Delicate Balance,” you should, it showcases some of the her best acting in a screenplay by Edward Albee.  You can’t go wrong with that team.


We can all take inspiration from her fearless individuality. She created her own identity, her own reality, how she knew was the best way for her to live her life how she could do it within the construct of Hollywood, fame and the entertainment industry. We don’t have to worry about all that as much as just being as uncompromisingly authentic to ourselves as possible. Unapologetically organic. Most everyone can sniff out a fake just as much as they can recognize when they are witnessing realness. Be like Kate. The world is a better place because she was in it and still feels the loss that she has left.
