Dame Yankee - the screen legend Katharine Hepburn Kate Remembered - appeared with suitable briskness, less than two weeks after the June 29 death of Katharine Hepburn at age 96. Her own ¢departure was one stipulation Hepburn placed on A. Scott Berg before the esteemed biographer of Max Perkins, Samuel Goldwyn and Charles Lindbergh could tell her stories. And as it happened, that gave Berg twenty years of friendship with the great actress to prepare this unusual and unusually fitting "account", as he describes it, of a life lived outside the usual in virtually all things. Hepburn herself referred to Berg as her biographer, but Kate Remembered is a very unorthodox biography: "Remembered" is the key word, since his touching, encoded tribute is as much about what it meant to be a devoted friend as it is about the object of devotion. And, indeed, Remembered begins dubiously - and somewhat crustily - with a story about how Berg met Hepburn. Writing a magazine article about the star, the writer shows up at her Manhattan door and is immediately commanded to use the bathroom by the hostess, certain she knew a guest's bladder better than the owner did. An understanding of one another quickly follows. And so, gradually, does a sense not only of what Hepburn did, and with whom, but perhaps the closest we can come to feeling what it was like to live Hepburn's life as she did in a pattern of attachments and detachments.
