The Cast Credit Index · 1907–2003
Katharine Hepburn
The one who refused the microphone
Hepburn distrusted radio and kept away from it. The shelf holds her pictures, staged by other actresses — which is the record, not an oversight.
0 named credits · 13 adaptations of their pictures
Named on the transfer
Credits the archive itself asserts
Every recording below carries Katharine Hepburn's name in its own label, as deposited. No credit here was inferred.
Nothing on the shelf names Katharine Hepburn. That is the honest answer rather than a guess — and for several stars on this index it is the whole story.
Their pictures on the air
Films of theirs the anthologies restaged
Lux Radio Theatre, Screen Guild Theater, Academy Award Theater and their neighbours existed to put motion pictures at a microphone. These are adaptations of Katharine Hepburn's pictures that survive in the archive. Sometimes the film's own players took the parts; sometimes the network cast whoever was in town. Where the transfer does not say, neither do we.
