I had to make a (screen) test cold of
Katharine Hepburn when she replaced
Claudette Colbert in The State of the Union.
A very charming, delightful person. Just
wonderful. During the time I'm making
the test, she said, "Now make me fat.
Make me Fat!"
She didn't want to be gaunt and thin, she
wanted to be nice and round and fat, And
I said, "Miss Hepburn, I've been trying
to make myself fat for years."
She said, "Don't give a damn about you,
just make me fat!" Talked like a rubber
band at you. What a charming, delightful,
wonderful person she is. And, of course, she
was an excellent person to photograph as
long as you, as she says, "Don't show my
chicken neck!"
