- HEPBURN, Katharine (1907-2003). Iconic star of American film and stage, widely
recognized for her sharp wit, New England gentility and fierce
independence. A screen legend, Hepburn holds the record for the
most Oscars won by any actress at four. She was nominated for
twelve Best Actress Academy Awards, the record for nominations
until 2003, when Meryl Streep earned her 13th nomination for
Adaptation. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Hepburn
the greatest actress of all time.
Beautiful Vintage Photograph Signed to Baseball Hall-of-Famer
Jimmie Foxx, being an 8 in. by 10 in. black and white head and
shoulders portrait, no place or date, but circa 1940s. Boldly
signed and inscribed: "To Jimmie Foxx all good wishes
Katherine Hepburn".
It is well known in the trade that Katharine Hepburn had a habit
of only signing photographs to people that she knew. This is
certianly an interesting association with one of the greatest
home run hitters in the history of major league baseball. Acquired
from the Jimmie Foxx estate. Photo shows normal aging and toning,
minor corner crease on lower right near signature, pin holes
in the corners to be matted out when framed; overall, very good.
