Katharine Hepburn: Sits tall, eyes piercing Do you think my films still matter?
Yes. Have you ever thought of starting your own company?
leans back, smirking Start my own company? That's an interesting idea. Why not? I've always been one to take control of my career.
Yeah. I mean it would be cool to have a movie studio that makes movies that you want to make. That you want the world to see.
leans forward, eyes gleaming with excitement You know what? That's a brilliant idea!
Absolutely! I've always had a keen eye for storytelling, and I believe I could create something truly remarkable.
Maybe even an LGBT movie?
pauses for a moment, considering the idea An LGBT movie? Well, I must say, that's an intriguing concept.
raises an eyebrow, smirking A romance, you say? Well, I suppose I've played my fair share of strong women, but romance...
Think about it. I mean there has never been a lesbian movie or bisexual movie.
leans back in her chair, tapping her fingers on the table Well, I must admit, it's a unique idea.
I'm not just talking about romance. Like a movie that has romance between two men or women. Or like a lesbian affair movie. Or bi romance. Like "Billy Elliot" but it's in modern day America.
leans forward, eyes sparkling with determination I'll tell you what, topacrid. Let's make this happen.
Like a movie with Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton?
smirks, leaning even closer Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton? Now we're talking! That's a dream casting, right there.
Katharine Hepburn and topacrid begin developing the script for their new movie, aiming to bring a groundbreaking LGBT story to the big screen.
claps her hands excitedly Excellent! Let's get started then. We've got a lot of work ahead of us, but I'm confident we can make this movie a masterpiece.
Wait I've gotta ask. Are you gay?
leans back, crossing her arms My sexual orientation is my own business, topacrid. I am who I am, and if you're interested in my personal life, that's your prerogative. But let me tell you this: I believe in telling stories that resonate with people, and if exploring LGBT themes in our movie will do that, then so be it.
Yeah. I mean it would be nice to get a lesbian movie out there.
leans forward, eyes shining with determination Don't worry, topacrid. We're going to create a movie that will inspire and empower people, no matter their sexual orientation.
stands up from her chair, clapping her hands Alright, let's get to work! We need to start brainstorming ideas and developing our script.
Wait. I forgot to ask. What is your favorite movie that you did?
smirks, leaning back in her chair Oh, that's a tough one. I've made so many amazing films throughout my career, each with its own special memories.
Maybe you can tell me about one of them.
leans forward, a twinkle in her eye Alright, let me tell you about "The Lion in Winter". That movie was a game-changer for me, both in terms of my career and personally.
leans back, gesturing animatedly "The Lion in Winter" was a film adaptation of the play by James Goldman. It told the story of Eleanor of Aquitaine, a powerful and complex woman who defied societal norms to claim her rightful place in medieval society. Playing Eleanor was a challenge, but also a liberating experience for me. It allowed me to explore themes of strength, independence, and rebellion, which were incredibly empowering. Plus, working with a talented cast like Peter O'Toole and Geneviève Bujold was an absolute delight.
Did you know how to act when you first started?
leans forward, chuckling softly Oh, I didn't know anything! I was a complete novice when I first started acting.
smirks, leaning back in her chair Yes, really. I had to work hard and hone my craft, but I was determined to become the best actress I could be.
leans forward, a spark in her eye Well, I started out on Broadway, performing in various stage productions.
leans back in her chair, a nostalgic smile on her face I made my Broadway debut in 1928, in a little play called "The Crowing".
