Long Before There Was Morgan Fairchild, There Was Katharine Hepburn As Sydney Fairchild!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                            I am, of course, talking about her film debut in the 1932 drama, "A Bill Of Divorcement."



                           Which brings me to a larger question, girls.  Why are Katharine Hepburn's early films shown so infrequently, or not at all?  Has anyone on here ever seen "A Bill Of Divorcement?"  And how I would love to see 1933's "Little Women" again; the only adaptation I accept as definitive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                              Nothing is wrong with Hepburn's later work but try to find a showing of anything pre-"Bringing Up Baby," the 1938 comedy that catapulted her into her own, and, for my money, is the greatest comedy ever filmed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I could watch it endlessly, but how I would love to see some of her earlier gems.  I mean, we used to get "Stage Door," but not as much now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                   The Calla Illies may bloom, but let's see Hepburn bloom in some of her earlier work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                      Reahlly, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
