Thus passeth a Goddess

[serai]

Katharine Hepburn
1907-2003

"That's Miss Goddess, to you!"


Thank you, Miss Katharine.


Thank you for your beauty, your wit, and your way with an arched eyebrow.

For your talent, your grace and your longevity.

For your innate sense of style and your dogged independence.

For Rose Sayer, Tracy Lord, Amanda Bonner,
Tess Harding, Ethel Thayer, and especially
your glorious Eleanor of Aquitane.


Patrician royalty from the first, yet endowed with a heart of fire that made of that coolth a ruby-red jewel to brighten the screen and warm hearts uncountable.

You could stitch a scene together with the dancing needle of your voice, and cover a world of pain with nothing but a throwaway line, even as you anchored it with a rime of tears.

A beacon of dignity and charm.
A strong, feisty, intelligent artist.
A real classy dame.


Tell Spencer hi.

Hear, hear.

From your 'lips' to the lady's ears.

Thanks for that wonderful tribute to a wonderful woman.

May she rest well, knowing she gave us the gift she was given to share.

Thank you, dear Katherine, forever the 'African Queen'.

Another star alights in our heavens tonight.

Enjoy the view!
