Keeney Memorial Cultural Center, 200 Main Street, Wethersfield
Join us for Natalie Belanger's illustrated lecture about celebrated actress Katharine Hepburn whose stage and film career spanned six decades. Born and raised in Hartford, Hepburn's career reflected the changing role of women in broader society. Challenging the norms of the day, she took control of her image by establishing a unique sense of style which influenced countless women, fashion designers, and the informal, elegant approach to American style that continues to resonate today.
The story of her life-long ties to Connecticut offers a complete picture of how Hepburn became the woman and the star she was. This presentation links her storied career to her roots in Connecticut to ask how she achieved her truly extraordinary legacy.
