Anne Edwards - Katharine Hepburn: A Remarkable Woman

A biography requires much research. In the case of this book, less time was spent in libraries than in pursuit of co-workers, friends, and acquaintances of Katharine Hepburn who are scattered over two continents. A tremendous and admirable bond of loyalty exists between Miss Hepburn and her closest associates. To those who have spoken with me, I express my most deep-felt appreciation and hope this book will justify your trust in my sense of responsibility. I have withheld your names as you have requested. But your firsthand accounts have helped me immeasurably.

I am immensely grateful for the help given me at the various libraries and institutions listed under Main Repositories for Hepburn Material, to Fiona Lindsay, who did special research for me in Europe, and to Steven Rossen, who engaged in the same task in California. I must also single out the continuing assistance given me by Anthony Slide at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Dorothy Swerdlove at the Library of the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center in New York. To my secretary, Barbara Howland, I owe a special debt of gratitude. She is a meticulous and uncomplaining researcher on her own and an indefatigable typist. And to Judy Horgen of the New Milford Public Library and Randee Marullo, my fine copy editor, my additional appreciation.

Since I have lived for so many years with a foot on two continents, I have been most fortunate in having found two marvelous editorsin America, Harvey Ginsberg, and in England, Ion Trewinand two wonderfully supportive agentsMitch Douglas and Hilary Rubenstein. My love, my admiration and my gratitude to my husband, Stephen Citron, who gaveas he always has givenhis unstinting encouragement and sound counsel.

My grateful acknowledgment as well to the following for their help: Robert F. Burke; Ben Carbonetto; Edward Chodorov; Gail Chumley; Patricia De Chiara Lubar; Homer Dickens; Geraldine Duclow; Carol Epstein; Maxine Fleckner; Joan Fontaine; Donald Fowle; Joseph Fullum; William Handley; Ginette Harris; Mary Haselton; Lieutenant Colonel Joseph P.
