"Living Life in Black & White"

- Home - Behind the Scenes - Archive - Mobile

Life for me is all about the past. Many would say that
I was born in the wrong decade - I would tend to agree with them. I wish I was born in 1905. I wish I had memories of the 20's; when flappers were in full swing and jazz clubs and booze were all anyone did.
I wish I called things, ice boxes, and I wish I knew how it felt to drive a 1935 Chevy. I wish I remembered Bob Hope and Lucille Ball, and lunches at The Brown Durby. I wish I lived in the greatest of all eras - I wish I was a black and white movie star.

I used to tremble from nerves so badly that the only way I could hold my head steady was to lower my chin practically to my chest and look up at Bogie. That was the beginning of The Look."

Katharine Hepburn was generally fearless around the young leopard ‘Nissa (II)’ who played “Baby” and even enjoyed petting it. Cary Grant was less fond of the big cat and a double was used in the scenes where his character and the leopard had to make contact. Once, to torture him, Katharine Hepburn put a stuffed leopard through a vent in the top of his dressing room. “He was out of there like lightning,” wrote Hepburn in her autobiography Me: Stories of My Life.
