Katharine Hepburn's trademark character was a strong woman who could speak her mind, know what she wanted in life, and who wasn't afraid of tackling the world on her own. I don't think there's a single movie that she made that didn't touch my heart in some way. I believe many women of my generation looked to her as a role model.
