She skinny dipped in the local fountain after pulling an all nighter studying at University and had herself photographed doing so that the pharmacist would squirm developping the photos.
Kate Hepburn was known for bull headedness and her slacks. Her style was impossible to miss.
She had certain rules she lived by-
1. Address your fears
2.Have a credo. Hepburn’s was “Listen to the Song of Life”. Having a credo means you think your life is grand enough to warrant one
3. Find yourself fascinating.
“Stone cold sober, I find myself fascinating” Hepburn said.
4. Self improve don’t self remodel. Love who you are and constantly improve on it.
5.Be frugal. Frugality in certain areas gives luxury in others. Choice is luxury.
(this as summarized in How to Hepburn by Karen Karbo)
