Description

"In this rigorous examination of the late star's enigmatic life, entertainment reporter James Robert Parish separates the fact from the fiction, revealing the surprising truths behind the carefully constructed image." "Was her love affair with Howard Hughes the pairing of the starlet and the mogul, or was it a giant PR stunt? What did Hepburn gain by dedicating years of her life to a platonic relationship with the married Spencer Tracy, revealed here to be an abusive alcoholic bisexual, and why did she support its portrayal as the love affair of the century?".
