Kate was wonderful. She had very definite ideas about people. A lot of people were scared of her. She was one of those electric personalities. I have never met anybody quite like Kate.

I think she’s the greatest actress I’ve ever worked with. I’ve never known anyone who combines a complete mastery of technique with real gift.

She makes me laugh like mad because she’s part schoolgirl, part very logical man and part straight as they come woman.

—David Lean on Katharine Hepburn, his close friend and the star of his film Summertime.
