Katherine Hepburn is, at 84, still the positive, feisty,upper-class lady she portrayed in The Philadelphia Story . Herautobiography, clearly not ghostwritten, tells some stories of herlife but not all--she comes from a class that didn't let it allhang out. Her 27-year affair with Spencer Tracy is discussed withfond memories (the years together were to her ``absolutebliss'')--the idea that it was scandalous at the time doesn't seemto cross her mind, and she is surprised to find that Tracy's wifethought the affair was only a rumor. She seems to remember almosteveryone fondly--her wonderful parents; her loving, supportivehusband, whom she admits she treated badly; the numerous beaus,directors, and fellow actors with whom she worked. More than 160black-and-white photos lend credibility to her enduring beauty, butit's the somewhat breathless, positive prose that makes Hepburncome alive as herself or as she wishes to be seen--anuncomplaining, stalwart, lucky, admired, and ``classy'' lady.
