Hepburn returned to Hollywood, but things did not get much better; she had just two hits from 1935 to 1938. In 1935, she starred in Alice Adams, for which she received her second Academy Award nomination. She made many films that were dismissed as flops during that time, but Bringing Up Baby (1938) is now considered to be a classic.

Hepburn's record fourth Academy Award for Best Actress was achieved for her work in the 1981 film On Golden Pond, co-starring Henry Fonda. Hepburn's last film work was a brief appearance in the 1994 film Love Affair.

Hepburn's estate donated her film-related archives to the Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in California. And McFadden says Hepburn's most personal correspondence, including diaries, eventually will go to the academy as well and will be made public.
