• The private Hepburn in her own words: Katharine Hepburn draws on a series of interviews Chandler conducted with the actress during the 1970s and 1980s. Chandler also interviewed director George Cukor; Hepburn co-stars Cary Grant and James Stewart; and Laurence Olivier, Ginger Rogers, and other screen luminaries. .
• A Hollywood icon unveiled: Notoriously guarded, Katharine Hepburn talks candidly with Chandler about her marriage, her long affair with Spencer Tracy, co-stars and movies, and the seminal event in her life-the suicide of her brother, whom she adored, when they were both in their teens. With her unprecedented access to Hepburn, Chandler has written a biography completely different from all others, including Hepburn’s own guarded book about herself. .

Onliness
??Onliness? is my word for what I call my philosophy of life,? Katharine Hepburn told me. ?It?s a word I made up for myself when my teenage brother hanged himself.
?What I meant by it was that I wanted to be independent, to separate myself from all the others and never again to care so much about another person, so I would never feel the pain I felt when Tom left me.
?I was almost fourteen when Tom, my absolute hero?whom I loved and worshipped?had, what I call in my head, his ?accident.? I was the only one who believed it was an accident. I believed it because I couldn?t bear to believe otherwise.
?I had a wonderfully warm feeling in my soul. I felt it so deeply that he would be there for me, that I could always count on him. It made me feel very secure. And then, suddenly, he wasn?t there for me. He wasn?t there for himself.
?If something had made him so unhappy that he no longer wanted to live, why hadn?t he shared his trouble with me? I could have helped him. We were so close, how could I not have shared his pain? I couldn?t bear it. I thought we were like twins, even though he was two years older. It was a nightmare that was real, and I was never going to wake up from it. I understood that now is forever.
?Tom was my best friend from the first moment I can remember. He never regarded me as the little sister he had to drag along. The opposite. At two, two and a half, I remember him holding my hand and showing me the ropes and how to swing on them, how to get along in life. When I was just barely walking, he was running with me.
