Katharine Hepburn was born on the 12th of May in 1907. The actress went on to win four Academy Awards, an unprecedented number for any performer, and to provide us with some of the most inspiring female performances to grace the silver screen.
Hepburn was known for her outspokenness, her independence and her personality, yet she spent most of her life dedicated to a man who was already married when she met him, Spencer Tracy.
