Oh really interested about Katherine Hepburn cartoons!!! I love it so much...humor and cute! I knew who's Coco Channel...the famous designer!!! Fantasy and Brilliant!!! I read in a book that Garbo was impressed that Katherine played as Coco...Garbo congulated Katherine for successful! I was surprised that Katherine visited Garbo at G.G.'s home few months before G.G. died....I wonder that they were friends! Wonderful Katherine was a great actress and she looked so naturally and beautiful.....Coco Channel knew about G.G.'s styles famously in the 1930's....because G.G.'s clothes and hats were soooo popular and many crazed-love women wanted to buy G.G.'s styles in the Women's clothes shop long, long ago!!!! Wow! I love the large straw hat and slouch hat because she looked so cool and sexy sooooo mysterious!!!

Hi, all of G.G. fans...."Katharine Hepburn A Hollywood Yankee" by Gary Carey...pages 47-48..."It was at one of these parties that Hepburn met Greta Garbo, her favorite actress. On the day the shy and reclusive star came for lunch, Hepburn arrived at Cukor's house early and went for a swim in his pool. As she was paddling around, Cukor ran out to announce Garbo's arrival; Kate jumped out of the pool, grabbed a towel and ran smack into the Swedish actress----who smiled enigmatically. Greatly flustered, Hepburn stammered out a greeting and then became tongue-tied. Later she (Hepburn) and Garbo became good friends. ;D

"Me Stories Of My Life" by Katharine Hepburn...page 187.."Another time, just after I'd rented the house, George Cukor and Garbo came to call. She'd been told about the house and wanted to see it. I showed it off. Went upstairs---showed her the bedroom. She walked over to my bed. There was a lump on the bed (obviously a hot-water bottle). She looked at me, patted it and sighed. "Yes, I have one too. Vat is wrong vid us?"

"Walking With Garbo" by Raymond Daum...page 194..."Garbo loved Hepburn's performance, though she was too shy to visit her former MGM colleague's dressing room and tell her so."

"I applauded like mad. I wish I could have gone backstage to see that one (Hepburn). She can't sing--my God, she sounds like Rose Kennedy--but evidently she's full of energy, like Chanel", Garbo said!!!! ;D

I found a book "Chanel A Woman of Her Own" by Axel Maden...page. 190...."Garbo told me (Chanel), 'Without you I wouldn't have made it, with my little hat and raincoat.' That's all! Only short sentences!

Garbo said," That's a magic world, couture. The designers rule the world. It's fantastic when you think of it. Chanel had a fabulous life. She lived in great luxury, houses and things, jewels." (Walking with Garbo by Raymond Daun, pg. 116)

Garbo by Barry Paris....page 417..."I was quite anxious to do "MOURNING BECOMES ELECTRA" with Garbo and with George Cukor directing," said Katharine Hepburn of that 1947 film, but "we didn't get anywhere with Mayer."

and page 299...Someone else wanted a bit part and didn't get it. According to film writer Jimmy Fidler at the time: Katharine Hepburn worships Garbo to such an extent that she went to her own studio executives and begged permission to work as an 'extra' in QUEEN CHRISTINA, in order that she might observe at close range the mysterious Garbo charm and technique." Permission was denied.

I love Katharine Hepburn and Greta Garbo play together in the film....sigh!
