Katharine Hepburn's autobiography provides an insight into her public and private life. The conflicts and contradictions between her performing personality - which she refers to as "The Creature" - and her real self, are revealed. She reflects on her childhood and her family, her early days in New York and her experiences with political activism. She talks about the importance to her of her beloved country home, the ups and downs of her career, her long friendship with Spencer Tracy and, of course, her close collaborations with several of the leading actors, directors and producers of the past 60 years. The book is illustrated with photographs from her private collection.
