A. Scott Berg
In 1983, at the age of 75, her career cresting, the four-time Academy Award-winner opened the door to biographer A. Scott Berg, then 33, and began a special friendship, one that endured to the end of her illustrious life.
Here are the stories from those countless intimate conversations, and much more. In addition to recording heretofore untold biographical details of her entire phenomenal career and her famous relationships with such men as Spencer Tracy and Howard Hughes, Kate Remembered also tells the amusing, often emotional story of one of the most touching friendships in her final years. Scott Berg provides his own memories of Katharine Hepburn offstage: quiet dinners in her town house in New York City; winter swims (she swam, he watched) in the Long Island Sound at Fenwick, her home in Connecticut; weekend visits with family members and dear friends...even some unusual appearances by the likes of Michael Jackson and Warren Beatty. Finally, Kate Remembered discusses the legendary actress's moving farewell, during which her mighty personality surrendered at last to her failing body, all the while remaining true to her courageous character.
Kate Remembered is a book about love and friendship, family and career, Hollywood and Broadway, all punctuated by unforgettable lessons from an extraordinary life.

What made the experience of listening to Kate Remembered the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed the story and have always been fascinated by the life Kate lead. You do not see many stars who choose to lead simple, secluded lives.What other book might you compare Kate Remembered to and why?
While not so much a comparison, I also enjoyed Lauren Bacall's "By Myself and Then Some". Each actress is mention in both of the books due to Bogey and the African Queen. There is also somewhat of a similar timeline within each of the books.What does Tony Goldwyn bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoyed Tony's performance. I found his voice rather soothing. He also did a wonderful impersonation of Kate's voice.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I admire the unselfishness Kate showed when Spencer died by allowing his family (wife and children) to mourn his loss privately.Any additional comments?
While I have read several unkind reviews for this book, including the fact that the book is based on what the author said he was told and how it has been perceived as an invasion of Kate's privacy, I found it quite fascinating. I have always enjoyed Kate's movies and was intrigued by her relationship with Spencer. I was surprised and better educated by several things in the book.Resilient Kate...
