Divas - The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you chose to share with us.

 

Beatrice (Italy) on Katharine Hepburn
"Perchè era unica... aveva classe, simpatia... era una autentica diva."

Judson (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"She's so fierce."

Katilyn (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"She was truly amazing. She was very talented and she did everything she could to help the people around her. She tried her hardest to help Spencer Tracy and Judy Garland. We will never see anyone as kind as she was. She was a darling."

Emily (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"What I love most about Kate is the kind of human being she was. She was very strong and brave. She was also very sweet and down to earth. There is no where near enough words to describe just how amazing she is. She is a true angel. I love and adore her so much as a person first and then as an actress. She will always be in my heart forever and always."

Rheda-Jane (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"She was a great actress and great personality. Her unique boyish mannerisms are fun to watch. She's a great role model and wonderful, wonderful actress!"

Janfir (Philippines) on Katharine Hepburn
"... because of all the divas she is the most unique! And because she is the greatest acting diva of all time!"

Catherine (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"Kate Hepburn would probably scoff at the idea that someone would think that she was a diva because, by definition, she was far from it with the exception of that great drive and knowledge of what she wanted out of life.  She was a meticulous person in her career and life -- which were pretty much as one.  For decades she has been an icon for women.  She taught us to live independently, to wear pants if we damn well please, to say what we want and do what we want.  But at the same time she was kind, very smart, and loving.  She will be dearly missed! "

Cynthia (Canada) on Katharine Hepburn
"Truly indomitable. She will never giggle. She will never pretend to less intelligence than a man. She will never flutter her lashes without laughing at herself. Yet through sheer carriage, enticing wit and an innate sparkle - she loses none of her femininity. One could say she gives dignity to the word femininity and as such was truly before her time - maybe even ours."

Kathy (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"... cuz she's the best ever, 'you old poop."

Sara (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"Oh honestly, just look at her!  Everything about her oozes class, glamour and go to hell."

Glamour (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"She embodied grace."

John (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"Everyone takes a backseat to the Great Kate!"

Vivian (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"She is just a strong woman and doesn't really care what others think of her."

Ana (Spain) on Katharine Hepburn
"I love the kind of woman she represents: strong, intelligent, opinionated, all the qualities that contribute to her otherwise stunning beauty."

Janet (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"She was the one and only example of a true star with two feet on the ground."

Di (Russia) on Katharine Hepburn
"Beautiful woman!"

Grace (South Korea) on Katharine Hepburn
"She is great!"

Beatriz (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"... because she endured thru the good and bad. she touched different generations. she acted and never showed parts of her body, to act. A true actress."

Linda (Canada) on Katharine Hepburn
"She's my favorite because she was so down to earth and she made it look like she wasn't acting at all. She's the best and no one will ever come close to her."

Mayra (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"... because she's an extremely inspiring woman.  She gave me a lot of courage in my hardest moments and I'm really proud to be a KH fan."

Walter (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"Kate was gorgeous, simply beyond beautiful, and one of the top 5 finest actresses to ever grace the earth in my lifetime. She is my favorite Female actress and I keep a copy of the People Tribute commemorative issue at my desk at work. Greta Garbo and Catherine Deneuve and Margaret Sullivan and Irene Dunne are my personal runner-ups."

Hollie (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"Her class and style."

Megan (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"She the Great Kate. No other actress in film history has had her style, her class or her attitude. There have been a lot of imitators, but none can equal the late Miss Hepburn."

Anke (Germany) on Katharine Hepburn
"... cause she is "IT."

Rachel (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"In the dictionary, Katherine Hepburn's name should be under the definition of acting diva.  She was original, extremely talented, versatile, and her career spanned over 5 decades.  Her staying power alone would be enough.  God bless you, Kate."

James (Philippines) on Katharine Hepburn
"She's no. 1!"

Steve (USA) on Katharine Hepburn

"She is classic beauty with grace. She is just plain classic."

Tammy (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"... because she revolutionized the way Hollywood saw women. She dared to compare herself to the greatest men of the time and she always equaled them if not surpassed them. She is by far the best actress to ever grace the big screen."

Marcia (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"... because she's simply an American classic actress."

Cathy (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"Whatever she did, she did with total dedication."

Claire (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"Katherine Hepburn is my favorite diva and idol because she stood up for what she believed in. She wore pants when it was frowned upon and she lived her life to make herself and those around her happy. She was a great actress and will be sorely missed by me."

Elizabeth (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"She's my favorite because no one approaches her, not only in acting talent, but in sheer magnetism. She endured for over 60 years, and if that doesn't stand testament to divadom, I don't know what does. She is now known as a legend, and rightly so."

Ron (USA) on Katharine Hepburn

"Not only beautiful, and talented, but strong, as well."

Tara (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"She is beautiful, strong and intelligent woman."

Ceili (USA) on Katharine Hepburn
"She made her own rules in Hollywood long before any other woman. She chose her own scripts, cast mates, and directors (a lot of the time). She was blacklisted as Box Office Poison, yet still came back and ruled the box office. She bought the rights to her own comeback project (The Philadelphia Story) so she could do it on her terms. She spoke her mind at all times and apologized to no one.  She toiled for women's reproductive rights long before it was fashionable. She conquered Hollywood and Broadway brilliantly, complete with superb successes and fabulous flops.  Her career spanned sixty years, and she has won more Best Actress Oscars than any other (4). She also leads in nominations (with 12, Meryl Streep tied her last year). Her beauty, style, voice, indeed her life are positively legendary. She IS a diva!"

"Most outstanding actress of the century!"

Jacky (Hong Kong) on Katharine Hepburn
"She is a legend!"

Filly (Germany) on Katharine Hepburn
"She's the best actress and has so much charisma."

Daniela (Chile) on Katharine Hepburn
"She was a great lady in beauty and a great actress. I really enjoy her films, she is
really talented and I also admire her mother, a suffragist who brought in women's rights. A strong lady."

Kathryn (Canada) on Katharine Hepburn
"She was in 44 movies and she is my name sake."

Elisa (Austria) on Katharine Hepburn
"die Unabhängigkeit in Person!"
