N.Y. Public Library Gets Hepburn Papers


22 boxes of papers from Katharine Hepburn's theater career have been donated to the New York Public Library. They will be available to scholars and fans after they have been cataloged.

When Hepburn died in 2003, the trustees of her estate chose to donate papers from her film career to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Margaret Herrick Library. They decided to donate papers from her extensive though less-known stage career to the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

Highlights from the collection were displayed last week on a table at the library. There were fan letters from Judy Garland and from Charlton Heston, who wrote in 1981, "You have made all our hearts tremble, one time or another."

--> I'd love to spend a day in NY, sifting through that stuff! Can you just imagine the wonderfully random stuff that woman accumulated? The Judy Garland letter, alone!
