Katharine Hepburn (May 12, 1907 – June 29, 2003)
Actress, style icon, and, as Wikipedia states, a woman of
“headstrong independence and spirited personality.” And a knitter, as shown in
these images from a few of her films. She is also one of two of the actresses
who have appeared or will appear on this blog that I have seen in person. In
Miss Hepburn’s case, it was not in a professional capacity but on the street,
several times, in New York City when I was studying there.
Stage Door (1937)
State of the Union (1948) - note the kniting case.
Holiday (1938) - I think. I haven't seen this film for some time but I do remember the knitting scene in the drawing room.

interesting pictures, thank you! she was a woman with glam and will. Did you ever had the chance to speak to her?
No, unfortunately not. She was either walking on the street or shopping each time. I have seen a lot of celebrities over the years but I tend to leave them alone and let them get on with whatever they are doing at that moment. I have smiled at a few, however, and have always received one in return.
