I read this book from cover to cover shocked that such an excellent writer could so suffuse himself into his work that he overshadows his subject, Katharine Hepburn. Unless you want to read about this author's contacts with the rich and famous, skip this book. The author has written his own bio. He obviously thinks that we will find his life more interesting than that of Miss Hepburn's. If ever he even thinks of writing another bio, he should make sure it is of someome whom he has never met. That way, he won't think he's so important.
