Title: If you want a book about Kate-this Ain't It
Product review: I found this book a self-aggrandizement of Mr. Berg rather than a revealing memoir about the Great Kate Hepburn. He does talk on and on about others he's known and speculates on why Spencer Tracy drank. Hepburn theoretically told him to write his spectulation down, hence it appears in this book. All in all, the Barbara Leaming book is 100x better and more interesting. Or for gossip about Kate as a friend, read Garson Kanin's Tracey and Hepburn. I really didn't need (nor do I think Hepburn really would've wanted us) to know how feeble she was in the last 10 years, with her memory gone, being depressed and lonely, etc.Mr. Berg should've taken a year or so to think it over and reread this which he supposedly really wrote in 1999 just waiting for 'the end'. She comes off well but he doesn't.
