Hepburn also allegedly had a sexual attachment to her close friend
Irene Selznick, the daughter of Louis B. Mayer and wife of producer
David O. Selznick. It is said that the two enjoyed breaking into
Hollywood mansions as a lark - and were once caught by silent-screen
star Ramon Novarro (later the murder victim of a pair of burglars).
First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was said to have had an "infatuation with
Hepburn during the darkest days of World War II, which led to a series
of 'Oh, my darling Katharine,' love letters."
Porter also claims that Hepburn's male conquests included Ernest
Hemingway, directors John Ford and George Stevens, and actors John
Barrymore, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Robert Ryan, Robert Mitchum, Burt
Lancaster and Paul Henreid.
If you're wondering what Spencer Tracy was doing during all this, the
book's answer is that he was getting cozy with Ingrid Bergman,
Paulette Goddard, Gene Tierney, Joan Crawford and Grace Kelly. Oh, and
Nancy Davis (later Mrs. Ronald Reagan).
Hepburn estate executor Cynthia McFadden and the actresses' friend and

"Katharine the Great" will be released by Blood Moon Productions on

Cynthia McFadden is an ABC reporter,
Its odd isnt it, that Ms McFadden, a supposed NON Relative, was with
Katherine at her death
and also made executor of her will. Cynthia McFadden was adopted!
There have been rumors for years that she is the secret child of
Katherine and Spencer Tracey!
I created a photo comparision of the alleged parents and Cynthia, YOU

We are such creatures of little faith.
Not saying that it is true, but everything ever observed about her would
indicate she would not have come out while alive.
She was cutting edge on some things, but til the end very quiet on others.
Her post-death comments on Tracy came only after becoming close friends with
his daughter and after his wife died.
She would not have wanted to stoke gossip about her partners and invade the
privacy of their survivors.
Were she Kate's daughter, it means that she would have been the first born of a
50 year old woman -- that would be freaky today, unheard of in the 1950s
It's true, Claudette Colbert had affairs with women like Marlene Dietrich.
Cesar Romero came out long after his star faded. I read an interview he did in
the 90s before his death talking pretty openly about his homosexuality. As for
Katharine Hepburn...I'm not sure if she was gay or not. My feeling is she
probably would have come out before she died. But you never know...

I always thought it was just because Kate had a crush on her.
50 isn't necessarily too old. Google tells me that the average age for
menopause in the US is 51. OK years ago the average was probably less, but
Hepburn did live a long time so it's not inconceivable (pun intended) that
she was still fertile at 50.

Coming out would have obviously exposed her as lesbian but also may have
'tainted' many of her known female friends as lesbian (whether they were or
weren't is immaterial....just being tainted can be ruinous).
Maybe she was just being practical about it. Why risk rumor and innuendo to her
female friends?
FB
I have a book from several years ago called The Sewing Circle that
mentions Kate as one of many lesbian/bi actresses. This isn't exactly news.
Linda C.
Interesting that she named her son Spencer.
Well, she seems on the young side for it, but she does have some
cheekbones, and there is resemblance around the eyes as well...all
it'd take is a simple test to determine it. If she is Kate's kid,
then Kate kept one hell of a cache of secrets in her lifetime.
anyway, she doesn't look anything like Kate ... but she does look a
lot like Spencer Tracy.
Babies come when they want to, and it ain't over til it's over. Birth
control was not as sophisticated as it is today, the pill making its
debut in 1960. I know a woman whose grandmother gave birth to her
uncle at age 51. Not freaky, just nature's way. She thought was in
menopause, and...she wasn't. And it this type thing happened in
1897, 1935, 1944...you name the year. Back to Kate, Cynthia was a
very dear friend and was married at Kate's CT home. And the latest bio
(the one that came out this summer, after she passed) does touch on
the lesbian rumour.In her TV bio, Kate scoffed at talk that she and
friend Harding were "more than friends." I think it's exciting to
think she was bi-sexual! She was so unique, it just seems to follow.

As for Cynthia McFadden, she and Ms Hepburn were part of the same,
shall we say, social circle. The were birds of feather and
"sisters"...they trusted each other.
The fact that Hepburn brought her girlfrend on her honeymoon to her
first and only husband, a fact that she herself admitted, is a big
clue. It's amazing how open someone can be open and think that no one
catches on.
Could she be her granddaughter?

If fucking both sexes doesn't make you "bi," I don't know what does.

>Some people love that term, bisexual.
Last I heard "bisexual" is a real term used to describe a person who is
sexually attracted to both sexes. However if you want to believe that there is
only gay and straight, so be it.
Hepburn did not bring her 'girlfriend' on her honeymoon. That's a crazy
story made up by Anne Edwards who must be getting senile. The so-called
girlfriend was Laura Harding who was an heiress. As such, she and her
family frequently got into the newspapers. Katharine Hepburn got married on
December 12, 1928 and went to Bermuda on her honeymoon with her very
heterosexual husband. Laura Harding left for Paris on December 14, 1928
via an ocean liner to spend the holidays with her mother. Laura Harding was
in Paris when her father, financier J. Horace Harding, died suddenly of
influenza in New York on January 4, 1929. Laura and her mother were still
both in Paris when the funeral was held for J.Horace Harding. See the New
York Times, December 14, 1928, page 40 and New York Times, January 8, 1929,
page 30. To put it simply because I expect you aren't too bright, Kate was
in Bermuda on her honeymoon and Laura Harding was in Paris not in Bermuda.
Incidentally, the story about Kate taking Laura Harding on her honeymoon
isn't in Edwards' 1985 or 2000 editions of her Hepburn biography. Edwards
came up with this wacko story in a July 14, 2003 interview with Publisher's
Weekly.

Kate was bi. Not lesbian, bi. Too many known cocksmen in her past
for it to be otherwise. OTOH, she had prolonged and intimate
relationships with women. Ruth Gordon comes to mind. Kate liked it
both ways, but after Spencer died, one way. And that's where Cynthia
fit in.

Bisexuality is really just created by a troubled relationship with the
parents of both sexes. Show me a bisexual who received a ton of love from both
mother and father? It simply doesn't exist.
However, you can be sure that Porter's book won't include any allegations
against Cynthia McFadden because he's afraid of being sued for libel.
Porter is only brave enough to libel people who are dead and thus cannot sue

Look at all those horrible tales about Joan Crawford's notorious
promiscuity w/members of both sexes. Same w/Dietrich, who must have
had supernatural jaw muscles based on the amount of head she gave and
muffins she ate.
Merle Oberon was also known as being a major slut. She was getting
porked right up until the day she kicked.
Lana Turner and Liz Taylor never dated married men -- they married
every man they dated.
And I won't just pick on the girls.
Frank Sinatra and the rest of those Rat Packers used to reek of
coochie -- Frank went thru TONS of girls -- and penicillin.
Errol Flynn was a big ol'nasty switch hitter, as was Ty Power and
Marlon Brando.

IMO, "bisexuals" are homosexuals who like to sit on the fence in order
to make the ignorant feel slightly better as in, "he just has to meet
the right woman..."
To the person who thinks this is nasty -- outing a celebrity ---
naming someone as gay is not a bad thing, homosexuality is not bad. I
am sure many authors would LOVE to out living celebrities but their
publishers are afraid of lawsuits. On the other hand, I doubt a
celebrity other than Tom Cruise would sue thse days, all it will take
is someone with the balls to out some living celebs. Then the door
will be wide open. Watch out gay celebrities, Your lies will no longer
do.
Well in their cases the tales were true - especially Dietrich. She had an open
marriage and carried on affairs with both sexes. There weren't many actresses
or actors she didn't try to seduce. It was a power trip for her to see who she
could or couldn't get into her bed. Apparently her husband didn't mind her
promiscuity because he carried on his own long-term affair with their
daughter's nanny with Dietrich's blessing. Dietrich also felt that her own
daughter needed to learn the ways of Sapphic love by setting her up with a
lesbian nanny when she was 16. The daughter was appalled. But I guess
according to Dietrich's logic, being seduced by another woman was a rite of
passage.
She wasn't bisexual. The homo lobbying groups want to paint everyone
questionable with that stroke. Almost like Hitler wanted to do with the jews.
If they look like jews or act like jews they're jews. If he or she acts or
looks gay or bisexual they are. It's just nasty to paint people with broad
brushes. I'm not buying every hollywood star is gay or bisexual.
Not anymore unusual than being a lesbian. And you STILL don't seem to
comprehend the definition of bisexuality either. It means a person who enjoys
sex with both men and women. It doesn't mean going back and forth equally like
a ping pong ball between sexes. Oh I just ended my affair with a man so now I
must find a woman to fall into bed with because it's the lesbian's turn.
>Btw, I doubt that Cynthia McFadden was the only woman in Katharine
>hepburn's life...
I doubt she was the only woman in her life either - if there was even a sexual
relationship at all between them. It *is* possible that what they had was just
a close "friendship". Women do have them. I have a real hard time imaging
Cynthia McFadden, an attractive 40 something woman getting horny over a 90 year
old woman with Parkinson's Disease. So what if she gave her money after she
died. Hepburn didn't have any children to share her estate with so she gave it
to this woman instead of letting it go to the state.
Hepburn didn't give her estate to Cynthia McFadden. McFadden is one of the
executors of Hepburn's estate. The bulk of the Hepburn estate went to
Hepburn's siblings and their descendants. McFadden got a few pieces of
furniture. Is there any chance at all that the posters on these newsgroups
will get even the basic facts right?

I dunno 'bout that. I've noticed that when somebody says that, it's
hard core hets and hard core homos that saying it, but I've known too
many people in my live long day who have been completely comfortable
swinging both ways, and in being in serious relationships of both
sexes, at different times over the course of their adult lives. I've
concluded that there truly is a sexual orientation of "bi." Come to
think of it, Kate Hepburn may be the quintessential female bi.
The hard core on either side are just frustrated and flustered, and
maybe a little jealous, that they haven't been able to win such
persons' hearts and exclusively over to their side.

And therewith remaining in resplendent igornance of the hows, whys,

Hey Horse, maybe McFadden didn't want or need any of Kate's estate.
She got what she needed in other ways, ya think?
Thanks for the correction. I wasn't sure what exactly she got from Hepburn's
estate. But the way some of these people are talking about McFadden's
relationship with her you'd think she gave her the moon.

ANYONE can "enjoy" sex with anyone. That's not what bisexual means at
all. It's about being able to fall in love with either a man or a
woman - not very common. Did you know that many straight women do NOT
"enjoy" sex with men at all? But they're still straight.

Good points, actually. I feel it has more to do with blind ambition
than sexual orientation. They sleep with whoever they have to in order
to make it. I am sure some of our biggest stars, old and new, played
for the other team if for no other reason than to advance their
careers. Esp. during the Depression era, folks were probably willing
to do anything at all to become a star, and today w/multi-million
dollar contracts dangling in front of your face, if an ugly old
effeminate queen who happens to be a powerful
agent/producer/director/studio exec wants to give you a hummer, what
