Contest: Win a Katharine Hepburn Bio

My reading habits are very schizophrenic. I won't read anything but blogs for a long time and then suddenly I'm a voracious reader. I blame "What You See in the Dark" which got me back into a fiction mood. I just finished "The World of Normal Boys" today (total page turner) and I may start the newest Katharine Hepburn bio. Who knows. I have so many actress bios that are sitting here unread. As many of you know (and are perplexed by) Hepburn is far from my favorite actress but I am as ever willing to try. 

I can't vouch for the book as I have not read it. Apparently Charlotte Chandler, known for writing bios about deceased celebs, sometimes gets flak for quotes that are contradictory of previous quotes from other biographies, auto and otherwise. But what can you do about celebrity:What life, in the telling, is not a mix of fiction and truth, even if the person doing the telling is the subject!?

Anyway, I have two copies to give away. To enter the contest, email me before Thursday night at filmexperience (at) gmail (dot) com with "Hepburn" as the subject line and include the following.

• your name and address
• your favorite Katharine Hepburn performance and why*

* I might quote you on this last part so be forewarned

Favourite role: The Lion in Winter. Probably the meatiest role she ever had.
Favourite film: The Philadelphia Story. Not as much meat to the character, but it's a fun 40s screwball comedy and she did as well as she could with the material.
Least favourite film and role: The African Queen. Painful, slow, no characterization beyond the shallowest of performance cues.

I have yet to meet anyone give a solid explaination why she won four competitive Oscars?--And was never nomintaed in the supporting category when she's clearly a secondary lead...
