Katharine Hepburn & Jimmy Stewart in The Philadelphia Story (1940, dir. George Cukor) (via drmacro)

“I loved working with Katharine. She was fun…but she was very serious about the film. She was almost the producer, and when I had to do a scene in a bathing suit…well, I just told Katharine that I looked ridiculous in a bathing suit because my legs were just so thin. She said, ‘Show me your legs,’ and she said it with such authority that I hoisted my pants up until she could see my knees. And she took one look and said, ‘You’re right. Those are just the worst legs I’ve ever seen!’ And so she talked [The Philadelphia Story director George] Cukor into letting me do the scene in a bathrobe”.

-Stewart on Hepburn, his gams, and filming The Philadelphia Story (via Michael Munn’s Jimmy Stewart)

ALL TIME FAVE.

It should be noted that Hepburn practically WAS the producer of this movie. At that time her career was so down in the dumps that movie theaters put her on a list of “box office poison.”

At that point Hepburn stopped depending on studio execs to save her. She bought the rights to The Philadelphia Story straight off Broadway and crafted it as the ultimate comeback movie.

Not is the movie fantastic, but she took matters into her own hands and saved her career. Audrey is nice and all but I’m firmly on Team Kate.

I second Sam. One of my favorite movies EVER.
