Qui va sortir amb Katharine Hepburn?

Katharine Houghton Hepburn (May 12, 1907 – June 29, 2003) was an American actress whose career as a leading lady on stage and screen spanned six decades. Known for her headstrong independence, spirited personality, and outspokenness, she cultivated a screen persona that matched this public image, and regularly played strong-willed, sophisticated women. She worked in a varied range of genres, from screwball comedy to literary drama. Her accolades include a record four Academy Awards for Best Actress, two British Academy Film Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award, in addition to nominations for two Tony Awards, two Grammy Awards and eight Golden Globe Awards.

Raised in Connecticut by progressive parents, Hepburn began to act while at Bryn Mawr College. Favorable reviews of her work on Broadway brought her to the attention of Hollywood. Her early years in film brought her international fame, including an Academy Award for Best Actress for her third film, Morning Glory (1933), but this was followed by a series of commercial failures culminating in the critically lauded box office failure Bringing Up Baby (1938).

Hepburn masterminded her comeback, buying out her contract with RKO Radio Pictures and acquiring the film rights to The Philadelphia Story, which she sold on the condition that she be the star. That comedy film was a box office success and landed her a third Academy Award nomination. In the 1940s, she was contracted to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where her career focused on an alliance with Spencer Tracy. The screen partnership spanned 26 years and produced nine films.

Hepburn challenged herself in the latter half of her life as she tackled Shakespearean stage productions and a range of literary roles. She found a niche playing mature, independent, and sometimes unmarried or widowed women such as in The African Queen (1951), a persona the public embraced. Hepburn received three more Academy Awards for her performances in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), The Lion in Winter (1968), and On Golden Pond (1981). In the 1970s, she began appearing in television films, which later became her focus. She made her final screen appearance at the age of 87. After a period of inactivity and ill health, Hepburn died in 2003 at the age of 96.

Hepburn famously shunned the Hollywood publicity machine, and refused to conform to societal expectations of women. She was outspoken, assertive, athletic, and wore pants before it was fashionable. She married once, as a young woman, but thereafter lived independently. With her unconventional lifestyle and the independent characters she brought to the screen, Hepburn came to epitomize the "modern woman" in 20th-century America and influenced changing popular perceptions of women. In 1999, she was named the greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute.

Howard Hughes (24 de desembre de 1905 a Humble, Texas – 5 d'abril de 1976, Houston) va ser un magnat, aviador i enginyer estatunidenc. Des de la seva infantesa somiava ser pilot, productor de cinema i golfista. Excepte en això últim, va tenir èxit en tota la resta: va destacar en gran manera com a aviador, enginyer aeronàutic, empresari i productor de cinema. Destaquen les pel·lícules The Racket (1928), Hell's Angels ([1930), Scarface (1932) i The Outlaw (1943). Va ser famós per les seves fites en l'aire, i per haver construït avions com el Hughes H-1 i l'hidroavió H-4 Hèrcules. Els seus assoliments com a industrial i com a productor a Hollywood van ser molt importants. D'altra banda, les seves excentricitats, manies i el seu comportament llunàtic en general provenen del fet que patia trastorn obsessivocompulsiu (TOC).

Hughes, a més, va assolir una gran notorietat pública gràcies a la seva oposició al pseudo-monopoli de la icònica aerolínia nord-americà Pan Am, que disposava de la «Designació Legal» per realitzar exclusivament vols transatlàntics en Estats Units, veient-se embolicat en una batalla política i legal que finalment va acabar amb l'esmentada legislació, permetent l'inici d'operacions en l'àrea de la seva pròpia línia aèria, la Trans World Airlines, mitjançant els seus avions Lockheed Constellation.

Spencer Tracy (Milwaukee, 5 d'abril de 1900 - Los Angeles, 10 de juny de 1967) fou un actor estatunidenc molt apreciat per la qualitat de les seves interpretacions. Va ser capaç de fer papers còmics, d'heroi o de dolent molt creïbles. Actuà en 75 pel·lícules entre els anys 1930 i 1967. Va ser nominat nou vegades per a l'Oscar al millor actor, i en va guanyar dos. El 1999, l'American Film Institute va classificar Tracy com la novena estrella masculina més gran del Cinema clàssic de Hollywood.
