Katharine Hepburn
Personal handwritten letters, notes to fans, friends, memos to self, and other personal
items
**Check
out the Incredibly RARE Signed Hepburn Photos**
This is a very RARE collection acquired from a celebrity collector and autograph hound who collected Katharine Hepburn's trash during five year period. As you can see from the many items below, Hepburn would hand write responses from fans and friends and her secretary who then type on the Hepburn stationary. Many of these letters show a "personal' and often peculiar side of Hepburn, with some indignant responses and notations. Many of the handwritten items are of course not signed because they were not sent to anyone, but only so her secretary would know what to type. Also, because it was meant for the trash, Ms Hepburn tore-up many of the items below which were taped back together. On the signed item we have places our name (which is not on the originals) due to discourage online forgers and also scam artists on eBay who often steal images and then post for sale. Also, it should be noted that Ms Hepburn had a very distinct, unique handwriting and signature easily discernible to the experienced collector. It also serves as a very difficult task for forgers, particularly on eBay, to duplicate. Thus, because of Ms Hepburn's unique, trademark handwriting and signature, Hepburn forgeries are among the easiest to spot for those of us that have specialized in Hollywood autographs for many years...
This is of course a one-of-a-kind collection of items which normally don't get into the marketplace and I'm sure Ms Hepburn never intended for these to be seen by anyone but her personal secretary. But, as a result of a savvy (maybe obsessed) collector, the items were sparred from being destroyed and now available to you. . So enjoy one of the most extensive personal finds from one of the biggest Hollywood legends of our time. You may never see anything like this on the market again. When they're gone, they're gone!

Here is Katharine Hepburn's personally owned script for Travels with my Aunt. Dated in 1972. 103 pages. In pretty good condition. The role of Aunt Augusta was originally to have been played by Katherine Hepburn, but she was replaced by Smith shortly before production was to begin. Everyone involved had a different story as to why the change was made. Hepburn claimed she hadn't the faintest idea why she'd been replaced but said that when she left, Cukor almost went with her. "Don't be impractical. You've worked on the film for two years," Hepburn reportedly told her old friend. For his part Cukor told an interviewer from the New York Daily News that Hepburn still was his first choice for the role, but he couldn't allow some of the changes she demanded in the script. According to the director, Hepburn finally withdrew and the two parted amicably.

Here is a fold open
card. The card is a Happy Holidays card stating Broadway cares and that a generous
donation was given in her name. She writes near the Broadway Cares printing; "K.H.
doesn't either," She than writes; "Good Grief Ernest, Un, What is this- nothing
have been given, K. Hepburn." She obviously doens't understand the card and shows her
confusion on it in her handwriting. The card has been torn in several pieces and poorly
repaired. Still intersting writings by Hepburn. Also, shows a very scarcastic, possibly
playful side of Hepburn. Very unusual and look into the
personal side of Hepburn.
