LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Katharine Hepburn
built 657 days ago
By 1967, Hepburn was unquestionably a respected actress, but she was not the cultural treasure that she was soon to become. She was given a second Oscar for her performance in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," probably because many in the Academy expected it would be her swan song. But she fooled them, and they had to give her yet another Oscar the following year for "The Lion in Winter," not out of sentiment, but because she deserved it.
