Alexa in Curio, Katharine Hepburn

Alexa here. This Sunday I will not only celebrate Mother's Day but also the birthday of the inimitable (well, except by Catherine O'Hara) Katharine Hepburn with a viewing of Bringing Up Baby, Manic Pixieness be damned

Hepburn quote art, available here and here.

It's always been a goal of mine to follow her lead, except for the playing golf part, which I will never, ever do. She supplies all the wisdom any woman needs to get through life on quotes alone. After the jump, some Kate art, collectibles and curiosities... including a life mask?

 

Some examples of "collectible cigarette cards" featuring Kate at all stages of her career.
"Katharine Sails" print by TheArtisanVictor.

Fan art


A 1934 printing of Little Women featuring Kate, available here.

Kate-adjacent literature


Bringing Up Baby poster by Alex Kittle.


Vanity Fair cover poster available here.

And we'll end with something truly creepy... 


...a life mask taken of Kate in the 1930s. Available on eBay
