Katharine Hepburn Didn't Like Me - Jane Fonda 

Its truely amazing if its a true story.Well,we will never know.

Wow 😳! I am soo jealous. How special!!!

You shouldn't have let Katharine Hepburn beat you in those checkers games you mentioned. These so-called "celebrities" do not need any more special treatment than they already receive, as their egos are quite enormous enough without being fawned over and being granted any extra privileges based upon their being well-known. It was honest of you to at least admit your having noticed Miss Hepburn seemed to be consumed with this need for winning even a simple game of checkers with you, though. Why do you suppose she had that compulsion to prevail in competition with others? Did Miss Hepburn listen, at all, to any of your own stories, jokes or anecdotes (if you had any to share with her)? Or was she only concerned with you listening to what she had to say? Even Miss Hepburn's having refused to appear at Academy Awards ceremonies during years in which she was nominated for Best Actress shouldn't earn her a pass, as she received more publicity by not showing up for the Oscars than if she had just attended the ceremonies. The act was certainly not based upon any sense of humility on Miss Hepburn's part. Interesting that Katharine Hepburn chose to have her foot surgery and recover at Hartford Hospital versus at a more prestigious Boston or New York hospital, or even at one of the other internationally renowned medical facilities, such as Johns Hopkins in Baltimore or at Minnesota's Mayo Clinic. I wonder if Hartford Hospital was chosen by Miss Hepburn because that is the hospital with which her urologist father had been affiliated. Could she have had something like a lifetime discount on medical care at Hartford Hospital? Lastly, why do you use the name "Truman Capote" for your RU-vid posting here? Unless that name is, by coincidence, your actual birth and/or legal name, it is obviously misleading to use that name on a public website, since the name is one which had belonged to a late and well-known author.

@@gymnastix Jeezus, lighten up....

What a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing it

Bridget Ryder Honest?She was a CLOSETED BISEXUAL, who messed around with a MARRIED MAN.

Bridget Ryder 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼oh yeah

@@kimerietate382 wasn't that 70 years prior ? Hepburn was head over heels for Spencer tracy and vice versa . They broke it off and tracy maintained his marriage until his death. Moral failing but it happened years ago and was something she learned from

Kimerie Tate Feel better about yourself now that you’ve attacked a dead woman’s reputation? I mean, Are you just stupid or a bigot? Not a rhetorical question. Ofcourse she was closeted. You try being OPENLY bisexual (openly anything) in the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s etc. And as far as having an affair with a married man goes, who cares?? I guarantee you have family members that do more salacious things. Your comment smacks completely of ignorance and misplaced self-righteousness. Besides, It’s always the self-righteous ones that are the worst human beings. People like you have something wrong with them. Most of the tome Either intellectual laziness or stupidity, but you seem like both.

So much for manners.

Meryl sleep was applauding for Roman Polanski. Now go do research of what kind of man Roman Polanski is when he took advantage sexually of a 13 year old girl and then he went to France when he was about to get convicted. Hollywood is vile

@@Christian_Ada1 I was paraphrasing a quote that Hepburn made about Streep's acting---not sure how Roman Polanski came into this lol

@@charlesswitzer8378 Welcome to the wonderful world of the RU-vid comment section :)

I think JF nailed it "She didn't like people to have attachments - except to her"

Bette Davis thought Meryl was the best contemporary actress before she passed.I guess there were varying opinions about the younger generation of actors by the legends

Its so true Cal L. Its humorous to me that Ms. Hanoi can cry victim about others in the past but its right after Ms. Hanoi torches you and talks behind your back; the sign of an elite or so Ms. Hanoi acts like.

@@Dbusdriver71 it’s humorous to me that you let one photograph in 1972 dictate your entire opinion of this complex person. People are more complex than a single action they do or don’t do. It was 50 years ago. My goodness, bless that bitter heart.

@@Dbusdriver71 You're a fool

@@Jocelyn_Jade Exactly. I am astonished at how our Reich wing media (Faux I'm looking at you) has made us turn on one another.

she should have been that kind to our servicemen.

Oh my God, she actually chatted with one of the little people for 20-minutes? I'm tearing up. I mean, most of us do that every time we're in an Uber or what have you. But for her highness Hanoi Jane to have engaged that sort of sacrifice with a mere hotel employee? Truly awe inspiring. Where is she, so we can all bow at her feet.

Tell how nice she was to prisoners in vietnam that she said vietnam should execute them! What if that was poor family menber of urs in a vietnam prison and u saw some rich famous woman get on tv and tell enemy they should execute ur family member. Thats exactly what she did! She s horrible person

So what?

@@vincentmancini6279 She has been apologizing for being young and stupid for about 40 years.

You admire a person who does not know another person saying to that other person on first meeting them "I don't like you"? Only an insecure jerk does that. Nothing admirable about that. It's not like Jane Fonda was on record as a bigot or as a person lacking empathy.

@@gheller2261 "A bigot or a person lacking empathy?" Are you for real?

Me too, actually.

@@joeanonymous1834 Um, yeah. You might not have liked her politics (although she turned out to be mostly correct), but she's not a bigot and her political activities have always been directed to helping the "other."

@@gmh471 You must be about 15-years-old. I have no idea where to even start with you. So, I won't.

Thank you for sharing. As a lifelong fan, my impression of Hepburn is that I never wanted to know her ... off-screen.

@mulemule Agree, im a big fan of a very well-known drummer, Niel Peart, who appears to have the same intense personality as her. I do understand, though, as I get older in general, I can't imagine adding being famous W/aging and not being able to go anywhere without being recognized. She must have been really nice personally, though my brother did speak happily about them.

@@jw2877 Agreed: there's much to envy Re: celebrity's lives but living under unrelenting public scrutiny (magnified 10K by the echo chamber media) is not one of them.

I remember that! it was hilarious. She said, "Donna-Who??..." and the man looked livid.

That's an old way of slamming a person that is full of themselves or a phoney At the end of the conversation and their all puffed up or think they made a new friend. You point blank ask them, Who are you? That just deflates their Big ego. Learned it from an old politician when BSer came looking for something. Hepburn being an old New Englander would use that kind of passive aggressive remark.

I remember a person who told someone who they were. He kept walking and said "Of course you are".

Correct...

Hepburn did not act like she was the brightest bulb in the box. I wonder if she had Alzheimer’s towards the end, seems kind of nutty as a fruitcake to me.

This woman has nothing to do with class, she got Americans killed...how is that class I ask you?

No, she didn't. Old myth, she didn't get anyone killed.

+Mrs. Phyllis Stephens even janes father was discussed by her ..liberals are such fools and crybabies

Jane Fonda was young at the time, but she wasn't just starting out or anything. She was already in her 30's when On Golden Pond was released.

Mrs Phyllis...talk to your doc about some hormone replacement therapy. I think you've flipped over the edge, my dear.

That just sounds like she was nuts to me... I wouldn't have found that one bit funny, and I don't take myself too seriously, mind you!

@@user-tp9hm2iq6p you have to understand the world she was raised in..and the life she had led..she shirked tradition in many ways (wearing pants) (affair with Spencer Tracy) ,and the "high society" expectations places on her from the time she was a child. If we but only knew..we may be less judgemental of her..she was far from crazy...in fact she was brilliant..

She was just a moody artist, that's all.

frankly, it is understandable that she would have been insulted by the assumed familiarity of a complete stranger. It was disrespectful. Times have changed now and it may not seem to be as big of a deal but in her time completely understandable. I wouldn't call it prickly, just standing up for herself.

@@lenpey Not an 'artist', an 'actress'. "Oh, Spensah, let's fake a straight love affair...It will be smashing to hide our fruitiness!"

I did not think she should have insulted Meryl Streep. Rude. Meryl is a good actress but not the most beautiful. Many think overrated too. But lets give her credit. Kate she is not that bad.

BigDeanoSyd Now how could you possibly know that? (Genuinely curious).

Superfluous Chins I spent a bit of time with Kate Hepburn before she passed away while resident in New York city and I am in contact with Jane Fonda from time to time, I met Jane at a dinner party in London a decade ago that was hosted by Cate Blanchett who I'm very close to, so there you go.

Interesting! I would love to have met La Hepburn-- despite her shortcomings. I'm sure you feel very lucky. And Ms. Blanchett is a superlative actress. I assume you're in entertainment?

;)

+J kK, I was looking at Katharine Hepburn interview and spotted this one. The first thing I thought was, poor Jane. Yes, she will always be Hanoi Jane for what she did in VietNam. She has never apologized, nor has she ever understood the wrong in what she did. At least to my knowledge. It is difficult for any of us to forget.

She absolutely apologized. She also met with many of the vets who were there at the time, and many of them came away forgiving her. It was a terrible war, and the US did some remarkably bad things in it, and we lost it almost before it began.

@@swarzeoz2550 She actually didn't give a full and proper apology. She was trying to sell a book, when (40 years after the deed), it suddenly, became beneficial for her to apologize (sort of). She only apologized, for allegedly, having been "led" to the anti-aircraft machinery, where she was subsequently, photographed, laughing with the Viet Cong. She never apologized for everything else that she did, while down there for 2 weeks. I wonder how many young people were tortured and killed, while she wined and dined, with the Viet Cong? She spoke on their airwaves, making statements that were all, directed against America,. She did all of this and more, at a time when very young, men and women, were bravely, fighting a war. American soldiers suffered horrible torture, and death at the hands of the very people who she visited, supported, ate with, laughed and sang with! She never apologized for having gone there, nor for the vast bulk of what she did there. She only offered a lame "apology" of sorts, for having been photographed on the anti-aircraft missiles. We all know when someone is giving a sincere apology, and when they aren't. I personally, don't think that she is capable of giving a true apology. Some people are literally, incapable of apologizing. They're too weak. Like her. I just can't respect them, though I might pity them. I don't care for Fonda, or her brother, generally (that is, aside from her treasonous, cruel, uncaring, actions in 1972). I truly, think that she is a person, who was terribly spoiled, and who ultimately, evolved into a narcissist. She and her brother, have further lost my respect, by the way that they have criticized their father in public, long after his death. I don't respect her for a number of reasons, with treason, heading the list.

@@kl.1993 You wrote that she never apologized. That is a lie. Did you even bother to research it? No, of course not.

We all know now that the Vietnam war was wrong and instigated by the highly corrupt Nixon. If only more people like Jane had spoken up.

People who knew her loved that part of her, it was what made Hepburn, Hepburn. It doesn't matter if everyone doesn't like her, she simply didn't care. I think many need that attitude today.

@@tigergreg8 There's a YUGE difference between being an individualist and not being respectful towards others. Sounds like you're acting like a jackhole too? If so, it's not cute. #BeBest

​@@tigergreg8I heard that many times about her 😂

I suspect her own father couldn’t stand her.

Yea Fonda is not a likeable person

I think it was ear infection, not an eye infection.

hjarten eye problem was from the movie "the African Queen ",you dumbass

kuroniro1 eye infection

@@nancyneville8700 No, you're the dumbass, and rude at that. I watched an interview with Hepburn and she definitely said she got an infection when she had to jump in a Venice canal for a movie scene.

perhaps, but Jane never says why KH said she didn't like her. You do not need to be mean to a person for them to not like you. There are a lot of politicians that I don't like and I would say it directly to them if I met them, and they have not personally been mean to me, however my reasons for dislike are very strong. Jane did say that KH did tell her why. We can only guess the reasons. Jane was involved in quite a few controversial things, maybe it had to do with that. KH was a perfectionist when it came to acting, maybe there was something in Jane's past acting history that sparked the remark. Who knows.

@@tamoshanter6268 I was brought up not to be mean spirited. It's not like Jane Fonda asked KH what she thought of her.

@@tamoshanter6268 wrong, there was no good reason for it especially towards a motherless teenager.

and hence the reason she wasn't real fond of Hannoi Jane.

Are you implying that Jane Fonda is not of real substance and principles? That would be hilariously absurd, and stupid.

@@russs7574 Dumb.

The unfortunate thing is if she wasn’t famous you’d just think she was a bitch and move on.

Indeed! I used to have a mad crush on Jane Fonda when I was a teenager. Then, I left Cuba in 1980 and a couple of years later I found out some things about Jane that turned my stomach. Even her own father disliked her for her political views and the betrayal to this country.

Why?

Same here Bill.

Me too. Jane should go off and live in North Korea.

Me too!

She apologized for doing that and admitted she was wrong decades ago.

All you have to do today is say your sorry and then anything is ok.

@@lindauribe6872 She expressed opinions, she didn't murder anyone.

@@fionah3433 take an egg and throw it on the floor then apologize to it... You'll notice that the apology doesn't count for shit in repairing the damage done to the egg.

Yes. Some old crabapples still can’t let it go and repeat false embellishments to the story. What a bore.

Maybe you should make that remark to the families of our soldiers that she helped to destroy.

She's a Scumbag !

@@sandiwinters4400 destroy,? That's an overestimation of her behaviour

Jack Shite Our soldiers deserved EVERYTHING they got for what *WE DID* to that country. We had no fucking businesses in Vietnam.

@Jack Shite Jane Fonda's actions were not anti American - what was anti American was the war mongering foreign policy that brought about Vietnam. The US rightly got its ass kicked by the Vietnamese - but how tragic so many boys from BOTH sides died in the name of an indefensible war! Jane was courageous to speak out and take a stand and I am astonished that all years later anyone fails to see the folly of the Vietnam war. SHAME ON YOU.

Jane looks so much younger than either her father or Hepburn at that age. Granted, neither one had plastic surgery.

KH was not known for being nice. Kind of like Betty Davis. Brilliant, but mean.

I only ever saw Hepburn play one character, the same person in every movie. Like many actors, she had a good presence, and could memorize, recall and fire off lines brilliantly, but was one dimensional in the characters she could portray. She didn't play a role, the role was written for her.

@@jaelge oh george. how correct you are. hepburn couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. same person every time. could not go deep. think of hepburn and then think of an actor like eva marie saint in waterfront. kate hepburn couldn't touch one's heart.

She was great in Breakfast at Tiffany's

@@ianbauer4703 That was "Audrey Hepburn"…. No relation..

You, me, Kate, and thousands of Vietnam Veterans who would not give 'Hanoi Jane' the time of day!

I wondered that too.

No, Ms. Hepburn was extremely liberal, was friends with many actors who were considered “leftist” and supported Democratic candidates and causes all her life.

Deidra Egan thanks, but being a Democrat and supporting the Vietcong could be considered as two separate issues. But you could be right. It might have just been a personality conflict.

L Karamazov I think KH was an extremely good at determining one’s character. And Hanoi Jane has none.

@@Dej24601 She was. But the Democrats supported the war. At least until 1973.

@@luisllorens70 Spot on. Troop levels really ramped up under Kennedy and peaked under LBJ. They started to draw down under Nixon.

The interviewer? That's MARLO FRIGGIN' THOMAS - a great actress herself.

How's that relevant?

If you want to cringe watch Megan Kelly interview her. She beings up Jane's plastic surgery out of left field totally awkward cringe.

@@nazur72 Wow!

@Ed Miller Marlo Thomas has been nominated for several Golden Globes and Emmys - even winning an Emmy for her 1986 movie "Nobody's Child" (1985's "Consenting Adult" and 1984's "The Lost Honor of Kathryn Beck" are also GREAT). She has three other Emmys, as well as a a Grammy Award, and a Star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame all to her name, too.

My roommate worked for a film producer who in turn worked with Marlo Thomas professionally. This was after she was married to Donahue. One day Thomas gave her a lift somewhere in her limousine, and my roommate surprised me by relating that Thomas swore like a sailor through most of the ride. It was Fck this and Fck that, and much more besides. Doesn't matter to me...I'll always have a crush on her from That Girl.

A bit of a kick in the teeth Brenda..I hope you moved on in the knowledge that you were the better person, since having Hollywood status and money, doesn't buy class!!

And I'm certain, on another day, things would've been different. Imagine someone of her stature, having to put the 'glad act' on to all whom meet her. I'd give her a pass here. I've read also, that she's quite nice. We're all human and nobody is going to be perfect all the time, or meet some standard or expectation. I'd simply be honored by Jane's presence. Cheers.

You'd have to imagine there are countless people walking up to her everytime time she's in public. However grateful she is for her success, it must get tiring sometimes. Give her a pass for having an off day.

You mean Marlo Thomas?.....Hahaha. put some respect on her name.

Did you ever see Hepburn in interviews? She was a bitch. Ain’t complicated.

It probably had something to do with Jane’s political views during the Vietnam War. Jane was known as “G.I.Jane” because of her protests against the war in the U.S. & abroad. There were some photos taken when Jane was over there & she didn’t know that she would be posing with a member of the opposition’s army. She was just a young girl & was basically tricked. The press got a hold of the pics & they went viral.The press crucified her & accused of her being a traitor. She has really never been able to shake that narrative because many older people thought she should support the war regardless of the reason we were at war. She was supporting the troops by wanting it to end. Our troops were not accustomed to fighting in that kind of terrain & their captures were torturing our soldiers. They held many P.O.W.’s (Prisoners Of War), for years after the war was over. It really was an unnecessary war, in my opinion as well. A friend once told me that “Men in suits will send your young people to war every time, but they don’t necessarily send theirs, or go themselves!”. I believe that is true.

She did say, at :54 - because Jane was married, with kids and a pet. Hepburn thought actors should have no attachments.

Is it not-that is how I wish my hair was !

perfect. leave it to dp. 🙂

I'm sure Kate Hepburn's four Academy Awards will help her feel better about herself. lol Dorothy Parker had issues herself, didn't she? Being a tormented alcoholic like DP isn't exactly something to strive for. Maybe Parker shouldn't have been throwing rocks? Js

Nice

As digs go, that's a very good one. I don't think Hepburn had much range; what she had was personality. Parker made the quip when Hepburn was still very early in her career, I believe when she was dubbed "box-office poison" just before she got her first Oscar.

According to QuoteInvestigator.com: "The writer and movie director Garson Kanin was a close friend of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. In 1971 he published “Tracy and Hepburn: An Intimate Memoir” which revealed the personal knowledge he had gained through his friendship. The book also described an interesting episode during which he questioned Dorothy Parker. Kanin knew about the harsh remark credited to Parker, and he was surprised when she recommended Hepburn for an acting assignment: “I thought you didn’t like her,” I said. Those great brown eyes became greater and browner. “Me?” said Dottie, “I don’t think there’s a finer actress anywhere.” “But what about ‘all the way from A to B’?” I reminded her. “Or didn’t you say it? Or do you think she’s improved?” Dottie sighed. “Oh, I said it all right. You know how it is. A joke.” She looked distressed. She shrugged and swallowed. “When people expect you to say things, you say things. Isn’t that the way it is?”"

Deborah 5122 Very true, I used to work in the Industry, and they are nothing like their onscreen selves.

Marjorie Margel that’s why it’s called acting.

Most of the time, meeting our favorite celebrities ,actors or musicians, can be a disappointing experience.

M Zz miss Hepburn told another actor, I think it was Anthony Hopkins,”don’t act, just say the lines. “

Jamie Khan I love how you think acting to be someone from another country/culture can be so easy.

K Higgins...it seems when you have some money and some fame there will be people popping up out of the woodwork to encourage you to use your platform to support their agenda. In betting there were people putting her up to it and convincing her she had a duty to speak out and all of that. She was young and trusting and idealistic. I can't imagine how hard it would be to learn your life lessons in the public eye.

Amen to that!

I agree with her that the war was wrong, but then she went off the deep end going to Hanoi and making that broadcast for the Vietcong. She’s since expressed regrets for doing that, and it seems she might have been on a lot of drugs at the time, though that’s no excuse.

Because they have no life, and never grow up.

Jane Fonda apologized and admitted she was wrong decades ago. It takes courage and integrity to do that ~ but to "never forgive" someone who made a mistake in their misguided youth and has since admitted fault and apologized...not so much. I hope for your sake that others are more emotionally generous to you than you are to her.

@@fionah3433 She was in her 30s, she wasn't a teen or a person in their early 20s.

Answer = HERSELF ! ! !

Katherine was known for her kindness and helpfulness to other actors starting in the business, she was l also known as one of the hardest working people in the business. So who knows who she liked-but she gave a lot to many.

Peter Salem hmmm, you need to read some biographies about Kate Hepburn. She had many long-term close friendships with people like Lauren Bacall, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, George Cukor,etc. What you said wasn't true.
