Are you a lover of movies? Is your idea of a good time sitting down in a darkened theater with a tub of hot buttered popcorn and entering another world…of comedy, drama, horror, sci-fi or any number of favorite genres? If so, the Katharine Hepburn Museum in Old Saybrook has just your “Golden Ticket” with a museum talk on Thursday, May 23 at 7 p.m. when documentary filmmakers David Heeley and Joan Kramer present an insider’s look behind the camera “In the Company of Katharine Hepburn.”
Known for their illuminating portraits of Hollywood icons, Heeley and Kramer are famous for creating "Katharine Hepburn All About Me” where Kate served as a host telling her own story directly to her audience and "The Spencer Tracy Legacy: A Tribute by Katharine Hepburn." They enjoyed a professional and personal relationship, a “rewarding friendship," with Ms. Hepburn over a sixteen year period, filming her in Old Saybrook around town at James Pharmacy and Walt’s Market as well as at her home in the borough of Fenwick. Once they had Kate on board with their project ideas, she helped “twist arms” to make them happen.
Do you like surprises, secrets and being the first person to know private revelations? Come hear anecdotes about Kate in addition to stories about notables like Fred Astaire, Paul Newman and Frank Sinatra. You will also see footage and outtakes from scenes that never made the editing cut. The pair have created a book “In the Company of Legends” that will be autographed and available for purchase in the Kate Gift Shop.
This event is available in person or on live stream by calling the Kate, 300 Main Street, Old Saybrook at 860-510-0453 or online at www.thekate.org.
Let your favorite movies and personal stars come alive through the talents, efforts and insights of Joan Kramer and David Heeley as they bring their legends once again to vibrant life for your listening and viewing pleasure. See you at the movies!
