Actors bring to life ideas and characters in plays, film, and television. Inherent in these acting skills are good stage and screen presence. Actors must successfully create connections between the characters and their audience through expressions, behaviors, and movement. They must be creative enough to interpret the characters’ feelings and motivations. Their portrayal of a character must be so realistic that it resonates with the audiences.
Many actresses have graced Hollywood sets but not all have been as fortunate as Katharine Hepburn. Hepburn, who was born on May 12, 1907, in Hartford, Connecticut, enjoyed a fulfilling acting career for over six decades. She received four awards for Best Actress and twelve nominations at the Oscars.
