Katharine Hepburn: The Last Interview
$3.99
In this candid interview, the last granted by the great movie actress before her death, Katharine Hepburn talks about her love of New England, her childhood and her relationship with Spencer Tracy. ...
According to the biography of the late Katharine Hepburn, she didn’t like the great Meryl Streep add details!!
She didn’t like the great Meryl Streep’s acting because it was too technical? what does she mean about that??…
I think maybe the use of Streep’s accents in some of her films aka. French Lieutanant’s Woman, Sophie’s Choice, Out of Africa etc…, I think every actress has it’s own originality when it comes to acting then why would Hepburn despise her acting??,,
even the great Bette Davies wrote a letter to Streep earlier in her career about how she admire Streep!!. Maybe Hepburn was jealous because someday Streep would break her record 0f 12 nominations which Streep ironically did!!! lol
What are your opinions about this??
I find it interesting that Katherine Hepburn was so critical of Meryl Streep who is a proponent of the The Method, an acting technique that is based off of Konstantin Stanislavsky’s System. What i find interesing is that many others who were Hepburn’s peers (and others more recent) and all noted actors also utilized this acting technique: Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Warren Beatty, Sean Penn, Paul Newman, Daniel Day Lewis, Forest Whitaker. Meryl Streep is the only women of that group who famously upheld it along with Brando and De Niro – however, I doubt Ms. Helpburn chose to openly criticize her male counterparts for being “too technical.”
Perhaps Ms. Hepburn suffered from competitive induced jealousy, which is sad as women should really try to encourage eachother especially in such a male dominated industry. It is undeniable that Ms. Streep is by far one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of women actors of the 20th century.
