Title: Berg made me see Hepburn as someone I'd like to know...
Product review: ...instead of just as the cranky old egomaniac I used to think she was, and who I thought I'd rather just enjoy from afar. It's a funny little book, at times more about the author than about his subject, but it's utterly riveting, and a completely loving portrait of one of the true American originals of the 20th Century. Wonderful cameo appearances by the likes of Irene Selznick and the Hepburn family, admirably etched by the author to support his portrait of the "main event," Hepburn. Worth the price of admission for Kate's crack after dinner with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening! Found a few irritating misspellings and typos that made me wish the publishers had cooled their jets for as long as it would take to have one more once-over by a proofreader instead of rushing this out so soon after Hepburn's passing, but that's the book trade for you. Anyway, I highly recommend this book to any Hepburn fan or lover of classic American cinema.
