Katharine Hepburn: Bryn Mawr College
built 629 days ago
Hepburn attended Bryn Mawr College, graduating in 1928. While in college, she met Ludlow Ogden Smith, who she married in 1928 (and later divorced in 1934). Also at Bryn Mawr, she became active in theatrical productions, and after her senior year she appeared in two productions in Baltimore. That same year, she moved to New York to begin training as an actor, and appeared in her first New York production, The Big Pond. Although she was fired from that show after only one night, she soon found regular work on Broadway.

The second of five children, Katharine was bright and independent and excelled in athletics. She became interested in the theater at an early age, and at 8, she dramatized Uncle Tom's Cabin, cast it with neighborhood children and presented it in the tiny theater that her father had built for her in the back yard. In 1918, Katharine enrolled at Oxford School and in 1924, at Bryn Mawr College, where she was known as a strange, aloof young woman with few friends. During her first two years at Bryn Mawr, she did not do well scholastically, nor did she participate in any college activities, but sometime during this period she decided that she would become an actress.
